STAMPtember® Collaboration: Whimsy Stamps
Boo! 👻 I’m sharing a playful Halloween card today featuring the STAMPtember® collaboration between Simon Says Stamp and Whimsy Stamps. With a bold “BOO” sentiment, a grinning jack-o-lantern, and some fun cheesecloth texture, this card is all about sweet and spooky details.
Spook-tacular Special Delivery & A Blog Party
This Halloween card for Simon Says Stamp’s STAMPtember® collection features a playful ghost delivering mail in style. Using the older Delightful Ghost die, I made him float out of a Copic-colored mailbox, complete with a tiny envelope for extra charm. Bats, a spider, and a few gems finish off the scene for a spooky yet whimsical design that’s sure to deliver smiles.
Shake, Rattle, and Boo!
We’ve made it to Card #7 in my Halloween series—and this one’s got shake 👻 I used the Tiny Frights stamp set and new coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release to create these playful ghosts and bat. The dramatic spider web die (a classic Tim Holtz fave) makes a perfect backdrop inside the shaker window. With sequins, sparkle, and spooky-cute vibes, this was such a fun way to close out the series! 🦇✨
Hocus Pocus and a Pop of Sass
Card #6 is bringing the sass with a witchy twist! 🧙♀️ I’m back using the Halloween Doodles stamp set with the new coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release. The stitched panel keeps things clean, while bold Halloween stripes and a cheeky sentiment—“I’m just here for the boos”—bring the fun. Finished off with a few scattered sequins for that magical sparkle! 🖤✨
Frightfully Fun with a Hint of Webby Whimsy!
Card #4 in my Halloween series is a cheerful little fright fest! 🎃 I embossed an older Tim Holtz spider web die into the background for subtle texture, then layered on images from the Tiny Frights stamp set using the new coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release. A grinning pumpkin, crescent moon, and bat bring the spooky vibes—plus a soft ink-blended glow and some sparkly orange gems for good measure! 🧡🕸
EEK! It’s a Skeleton Party…and a Blog Hop!
Card #3 in my Halloween series is bringing the spooky vibes—with a little sass! 💀 I used the Halloween Doodles stamps and coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release to spotlight this cheeky skeleton, potion bottle, and hat. The Sketched Manor from Card #2 makes a subtle cameo in the tone-on-tone embossed background. That giant “EEK!” in neon green? Pure Halloween drama. 🧪🖤
Haunted with Heart: A Dimensional Take on Sketch Manor
Card #2 in my spooky series is here—and this haunted Sketch Manor has serious dimension! 🏚 Using the new Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps, I layered the stamped manor piece-by-piece for a 3D look. Even the front doors open (in true haunted fashion)! 🚪 Paired with a glowing moon and a comforting sentiment, this card mixes eerie and heartfelt in the best way. 💛
Clean, Simple, and a Little Spooky: Boo to You!
Spooky season is here, and I’m kicking it off with this clean and simple Halloween card featuring the new Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps! 🦉 I kept the design minimal but playful, with a Copic-colored owl in a witch hat, a softly blended background, and a bold “boo” to make you smile. 💚🧙♀️ This is the first in a 7-card series, so stay tuned for more spooky fun coming soon!
Moonlight & Mischief
Moonlight, mischief, and a whole lot of cuteness! This Halloween card features that wide-eyed black cat from Spellbinders’ Simon Hurley Spooktacular Collection, set against a glowing moon inked in yellows with just a hint of green to tie in the cat’s festive hat. It’s playful, a little spooky, and totally ready to cast some crafty spells!
All Dressed Up and Ready to Howl!
All dressed up and ready to howl! 🐾🎃 I used the new Pupkin die set from Spellbinders to create this playful Halloween card featuring a pumpkin-costumed pup, glowing moon, and spooky silhouette. The ink-blended background sets the mood while tiny details like the pup’s layered costume and skull accessory bring the whole thing to life. Cute, a little creepy, and totally festive — this one’s got all the Halloween vibes! 💀🌕👻
