Hello LDRS Creativefriends and family! Have you ever bought a card kit and didn’t know how to customize it to make it stand out? I absolutely ADORE the new Cozy Halloween Card Kit, and will show you 3 different ways to customize it.
Adding a few layers of die-cuts and foam adhesive gives this card a lot of dimension. I also used the Rub-On Transfer Sheet that is included in the Card Kit to add the bats! How cute are they?!
The Halloween Card Kit has everything you need to create one-of-a-kind cards!
For my last project, I gave the card more texture by adding the Gilt Eyelash Trim with some Washi Tape.
This card is really simple, but I really love how it turned out!
Can you tell me which one is your favorite? I hope you guys found my ideas helpful and like my 3 cards today. The supplies used are linked within the context of the post. Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting! XO!
It has been quite awhile since I wrote a blog post. I was traveling back and forth for a few weeks organizing our upcoming move back to our home in the United States. Yay! I hope everyone’s been looking forward to create a few Halloween, Fall and Christmas related projects! If you are, stick around and I will be posting a lot of projects soon, along with photos of how I decorated my home for the holidays!
I started by adhering the Scalloped background that was die-cut using the biggest die from the Delicate Stitches Scalloped Rectangle die set. I stamped the four corners of the background using the spiderweb from the Wicked Stamp Set.
Simplicity is just really what I had in mind and die-cutting the scalloped rectangles using the Delicate Stitches Scalloped Oval on black and purple card stock were the perfect pieces to layer to create a beautiful pattern border for my card.
Lastly, I wanted to add this cute image of a dog trick-or-treating that I fussy-cut from the Trick or Treat Paper Pack. This was foam-mounted onto the card for added dimension. Here’s another look:

Hello my crafty friends! Are you all done creating Halloween Cards yet?! If you are looking to create some last-minute Halloween cards without the fuss of stamping and coloring images, here’s a cute project for you (or should I say, a couple?)! These cards are so easy to make and they have cute matching envelopes to boot!
All 3 cards (and envelopes) were made the same way! If I wasn’t running out of the Trick-or-Treat Halloween Paper, I could have made more, to be honest!
I started by die-cutting the sentiments using the Large Word Halloween Dies [this die-set is another favorite of mine from the latest release] on some different colors of card stock. I adhered them together with liquid glue.
Next, the background panel was die-cut using the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die and adhered on some black A2-size notecard. I foam-mounted the Halloween Sentiments onto the card for added dimension. Easy peasy and I’m done with all three cards! However, I wanted to add some matching envelopes to finish the design. I used the A2 Envelope Dies and the A2 Envelope Liner Die to die-cut some black and gray card stock and the matching Halloween Paper that I used to create the cards. I adhered them together using some strong adhesive. Here’s another look at the finished projects:

use a stencil from your stash with Wilted Violet and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide inks to ink-blend the background. I used my Mini Sponge Daubers to lightly blend the colors.
adhere the focal images on the card with liquid glue.
finish the design by stamping the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Even though this stamp set is meant for Halloween, I wanted to stretch my supplies and use it for a non-Halloween project. It’s simple but it turned out really cute!

Sometimes, you just don’t have the time or energy to die-cut a lot of pieces to create a scene for your card. I am showing you a simple way to create a cute Halloween card without spending too much time, and use up those cute pattern paper without overwhelming the design.
Here’s how I made this project:
Stamp the image from the Quokka Halloween Costume Add On Stamp on Neenah solar white card stock. Stamp the image again on some masking paper and use precision snips to fussy-cut the masking image.
Stamp the Dress-Up Quokka Stamp Set onto the masked image. Remove the mask and color the images with alcohol markers.
Use Brother Scan N Cut machine to die-cut the image or precision snips if you don’t have the machine.
Die-cut the background panel using the Peacock Backdrop Die and adhere on some A2-size top-folding notecard.
Die-cut some black circle using the Never-Ending Circle Dies and cut some black strip as well measuring 2 1/4 by 4 1/4. Adhere both pieces on the card.

cut a few strips of acetate sheets and adhere some stars that were die-cut using the A2 Reverse Scallop Frame (Stars) for added texture and interest. I love that they look like they are floating!
I pretty much did the same steps above. The only difference is I stamped and die-cut the images from the Gobble, Gobble Stamp Set and cut using the Gobble, Gobble coordinating dies. I also used the Gobble, Gobble Paper 6×6 Paper Pad.
The “spooky” tree was die-cut using the Crafter’s Essentials Halloween Dies and adhered with double-sided tape and finishing the card design by adding the sentiment.

finish the card design by adding the bows using the bow die from the Baby Bib Die Set and add some half orange pearls for added texture and interest.
Looking back now, I think I should have used a different color for the bows but I still like the way this card turned out. Here’s another look:

I started by stamping the Haunted Mansion image on some Neenah Solar White card stock with Raven Hybrid ink [this ink is perfect for using with either watercolor or alcohol markers]. I colored the images in with alcohol markers. My color palette was inspired by the packaging itself. I definitely LOVE that LDRS Creative gives you ideas on how to color the stamps. I wish more companies will do this with their packaging.
Next, I carefully ink-blended the background using Dark Wash Jeans Hybrid ink and some blending brush to create the night sky.
To create a spooky effect, I stamped the little “ghosty” images and the bats on the window and background with Raven Hybrid ink. I also die-cut the grass panel twice on some black card stock using the In the Grass Die Set. I adhered these on the card with liquid glue.
Now that my scene is almost finished, I decided to add the moon that I die-cut using the By the Light of the Moon Die Set. I also stamped the sentiment on some black card stock with LDRS Watermark ink. I sprinkled some White Embossing Powder and used heating tool to heat-set the sentiment. I fussy-cut the sentiment and adhered on the card.
Lastly, I used some white gel pen to add some dots and stars for added texture and interest. Here’s another look at the finished card:
