Simon Hurley Halloween Hugs collection, 3 card designs

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing 3 cards from the Halloween Hugs collection from Simon Hurley for Spellbinders! This collection has the cutest Halloween characters, a sentiment set and 3D Embossing Folder.

To start each card, I chose a piece of pattern paper from the A2 Ghostly pad by Scrapbook.com. I love the colors and patterns in this pad! I used the new Color Block Rectangles die set on the Franc and Sir Skeleton cards. 2 of my cards used the sentiments in the die set, but my Sir Skeleton card uses the "Happy Halloween" from the older Bewitched die set.

I love how these turned out!

Simon Hurley Spooktacular: 2 card designs

 Hi crafty friends! I have 2 fun Halloween cards to share today. I am using the new Spooktacular collection by Spellbinders designed by Simon Hurley.

 Check out both my cards and scroll down for a clickable supply list.

First up is a circle card using 2 of the items from the collection. The fabulous cat is from the Bewitched die set and the split background uses both the Damask 3D embossing folder and paper from the A2 Spooky paper pad. Oh and the little bats are from a die set released last year called Haunted House (sold out). 

Note: Bewitched is currently sold out on Spellbinders website, but is in stock at Scrapbook.com! 

Next we have these darling ghosts which are from the Boo Crew die set. These ghosts are so cute and the set has a variety of hats, ties and glasses options! Once again, I used some of the A2 Spooky paper pad along the bottom.
 I love how both of these turned out!

Hero Arts Hocus Pocus - 'tis the Season to be Spooky

Hi crafty friends! Today is the 20th and that means the Hero Arts August releases are available! I have 2 fun Halloween cards to share using their Hocus Pocus collection. This collection features stamps, dies, sentiment press plates and a layering stencil set. Check out what I made!

How cute are these ghosts?!? They are from the Boo To You die set which features 4 ghosts with face options, a witches hat and a broom! The sentiment I used for both cards is from the Spooky Season Betterpress/foil plates. This set has 7 sentiments with coordinating dies.

My second card also uses one of the stencils from the Layering Scattered Stars. I used the smallest stars (stencil 1)with  Stickles Moon Dust Glitter Gel to give the card some glitz! I really love this stencil set, it has 3 layers and each layer has stars getting larger and I can see this being used for a number of cards.

-------------------------- 

 Both of my cards feature pattern paper from Scrapbook.com. My first card uses A2 Spooky paper pad along the right side and my second card uses a purple ombre paper from the A2 Ombre paper pad. This paper pad is such a hack for ink blending 😀

Hero Arts August 2025 Die Set of the Month, Trick or Treat

 Hi crafty friends! I have some fun news to share, I was asked by Hero Arts to be an influencer!  Each month I will bring you inspiration for the Hero Studio Die set of the month and a variety of their monthly collections. Today I'm sharing a card using the August Hero Studio Die set which costs $25 a month and includes shipping!

You can check out all the Hero Studio Subscriptions HERE.

Scroll down for a full list of supplies.

Club subscription info:  

The new subscription sign up window is from the 1st to the 27th. Continuing Subscriptions will charge on the 3rd of each month and ships the first 4-7 business days of the month. 

This month's theme is Halloween and I'm here for it! The die set features 5 frames and a variety of Halloween icons to mix and match! I started out by using a piece of A2 Spooky paper pad as my base. I die cut the frames with satin gold cardstock and then inked Bristol Smooth cardstock with Villainous Potion and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. Then I spritzed it with both Villainous Potion and Frozen Fog and used it behind the frames. I die cut the icons out of black cardstock and printed off the sentiment from my computer.

Just look at that shine! I love how this turned out.

Happy Halloween Banner die set giveaway

 Hi crafty friends! I have a fun Halloween card to share today. Did any of you pick up the Happy Halloween Banner die set when it was a freebie from Scrapbook.com last week? I keep saying, don't sleep on the freebies, just look how cute this banner is!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BANNER AND GHOSTS DIE SETS

 

I fell in love with these cute little ghosts from the Ghosts die set and thought they were PERFECT to go with the banner. I wanted some pops of pink, so I inked the ghosts with some Kitch Flamingo, added some pink and white twine and die cut the "stars" from light pink cardstock. 

The adorable papers I used are from the Spooky A2 paper pad. 

 ***GIVEAWAY***

I placed 2 SBC orders when this was a freebie, so I have an extra one and I want to give it away to one of my blog followers! Who knows I may add a few other goodies as well.

BOO Happy Haunting with distress oxide background

 Hi everyone! I have a fun Halloween card to share today. Spellbinders has a Halloween collection called Happy Haunting. This collection features 3 die sets, 1 BetterPress plate, 1 wax seal stamp and several wax bead colors and mix. If you're a Halloween fan, check it out!

WITCHIN' HEELS DIE SET AND BOO! 3D WAX SEAL

My card uses the adorable Witchin' Heels die set with an ink blended background. I don't ink blend often and I really had to lean in with a heavy hand. The wax seal is the Boo! 3D seal stamp and I used the Halloween Must Have Wax Bead Mix. I added some gold metallic pen to the ghost and I love how it pops against the 3 colors!

I used some black glitter foam for the witch hat, shoes and broom bristles. The pumpkin uses gold glitter cardstock that I inked to be orange. I added small bats and stars from other sets in my stash.

Sentiment tip: I didn't have any Halloween sentiments so I looked at old sentiment die sets I had and took the letters from "happy birthday" and "hello" and created BOO!

Boo Dance Party Halloween ensemble

Hi everyone! I LOVE making Halloween cards and was excited about this month's Boo Dance Party Collection from Spellbinders. I made a couple cards and one treat bag tag. Check them out!

 Supplies used on my ensemble:

 These are affiliate links which means that if you shop with these, I will receive a small commission at no cost to you. If I've inspired you in some way I appreciate your support.

 

I'll start with the cards. The circle card has a subtle Stargazer EF in the background with a couple strips of patterned paper. The cutie ghost actually has movable legs, I'm not fancy like that and I left the legs off, but it's a fun option! He is super cute, I mean just look at the little candy sticking out of the treat bag/pumpkin. All the dies are from the Dancin' Ghost die set except the little bats, they are from the Haunted House die set. 

 The Haunted House card is set with the Hypnotic Background glimmer in the background and all the elements from the Haunted House die set! So cute, look at the little ghosts flying out of the house!

Last is the treat bag tag. One year my neighbor made special treat bags for my boys at Halloween and it made them feel so special. So now, every year I make special treat bags for my neighbors kiddos. It usually includes spider rings, eyeball chocolates and special Halloween candy. I hope they like it!
