Matching Halloween Cards & Boxes

Posted on October 6, 2023October 6, 2023 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s Thanksgiving for us this weekend. So that means there’s only a couple more weeks until Halloween. My munchkins can’t wait to make the house look all spooky! In the meantime I’m enjoying some spooky crafting and thought I’d share some matching Halloween cards and boxes I made.

For the cards I used a Basic Black card base and a couple of different designs from the Them Bones Designer Series Paper pack. On top of the DSP I added a 2″ x 2″ piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped that with the spider and “Boo!” from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink… of course. Then I layered some 1/2″ strips of Basic Black cardstock around it and trimmed off the extra.

The 2 matching boxes are mini explosion boxes. To make them I used more Basic Black cardstock for the box itself. And then I made lids with the same DSP designs. To keep them secure I added some Linen Thread. Then for the tag, I used the same stamps as the cards, but I die cut them using the Something Fancy dies.

I’ve never made matching Halloween cards and boxes before. But this was fun! I think I need to do this again next year.

Monochromatic Halloween Card

Posted on October 3, 2023October 3, 2023 by inkspirationwithteresa

I don’t usually make a lot of cards for Halloween. But I’ve been having so much fun crafting with the Them Bones Designer Series Paper that I couldn’t resist! This one is a monochromatic Halloween card. A lot of the time I pair black and orange for my Halloween crafting, but I thought I’d switch it up a little for this one.

So I layered a black design from the Them Bones DSP pack onto my Basic Black card base. But not before I wrapped a bit of the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham ribbon from the Annual catalogue. On top of that I added some more Basic Black cardstock to frame my image. The spooky wreath and spider come from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set. I also stamped a spider on the inside of the card and added a string of webbing using my Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. I popped this up using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For a sentiment I simply added a “BOO!” Which I framed with some more Basic Black cardstock and popped up with some more Stampin’ Dimensionals on top of the gingham ribbon. I added a little more of the gingham ribbon with a simple knot next to the sentiment. And then to finish it off I added a few of the Glow in the Dark Bats.

Handmade Halloween Card

Posted on September 22, 2023September 22, 2023 by inkspirationwithteresa

Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of Fall? I definitely can’t! This year seems to just be flying by. Anyway… in our house we love Halloween! The munchkins LOVE to decorate the house and carve pumpkins and sadly my oldest probably won’t trick or treat to many more times. One thing I don’t really do though is make a handmade Halloween card. Usually I make more home decor pieces. But I couldn’t resist making at least one with the Them Bones Designer Series Paper!

This patterned paper pack has some great Fall designs too, but I think my favourites are the Halloween themed designs. They’re just so cute! And they make it SUPER easy to make Halloween cards. Other than the DSP itself I didn’t need to add a whole lot for this design.

The card base is Basic Black… of course! Then I used some of the same design on the inside and outside of the card. On the inside I just put a little strip, but on the outside it’s basically my card front. For the sentiment I simply used another of the Them Bones designs. This design is the perfect sheet for making a whole bunch of Halloween cards! I popped up the sentiment with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. And then to finish it off, instead of bling, I added a few of the Glow in the Dark bats. Can you spot them all?

The Them Bones pack of Designer Series Paper makes it so easy to make a handmade Halloween card right?!
