Hi there!

It’s officially spooky season in the studio—and I’m kicking things off with the first in a series of seven Halloween cards featuring the new Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps! This first one is giving all the clean-and-simple vibes with a cute little owl who’s clearly ready to cast some crafty spells. 🧙‍♀️✨

Design Highlights:
🦉 Witchy Owl Cutie – This adorable owl is from the Tim Holtz “Tiny Frights” stamp set and was die-cut using the coordinating new die set from Simon Says Stamp. I colored him up with Copic markers and gave his hat a splash of green for a playful pop!
🌌 Simple Ink Blended Background – A soft halo of ink blending makes the perfect spooky spotlight without overwhelming the design.
🖤 Bold Sentiment Combo – I paired the bold “boo” die cut with a clean stamped “Happy Halloween” for a modern Halloween greeting.
🧼 Clean & Simple Layout – Lots of white space helps this sweet little owl and sentiment combo really stand out.
✨ Just a Touch of Shine – A couple of silver baubles add a bit of sparkle to this otherwise minimal design.

This clean and simple card was the perfect way to kick off this new series, and I can’t wait to share more playful spooky makes in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for card #2—it’s a little more haunted! 👻

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!
