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.
I hope you like this super simple Halloween card today and got inspired. Below, you will find links to the supplies used to create this project(s).

I have four (4) samples to share with you today. I have mixed and matched the Halloween products to create some fun and spooky cards.
I have to admit that this first card below is probably one of my favorite Halloween cards that I’ve ever made! I ink-blended the background with some distress oxide inks and used a stencil set from my collection to create the creepy sky!
The Home Sweet Home House Die Set was die-cut using some purple card stock and dry-embossed with a brick stencil. I then added black soot on the bricks to add more texture and dimension.
This slimline card is another favorite of mine. I adhered the Boo To You Paper on some black slimline card base. On another panel of SL Bristol smooth white card stock, I used some clouds stencil and distress oxide inks to create the night-time sky.
I then stamped the costume from the Dress-Up Quokka Halloween Add-on Stamp Set on some masking paper and fussy-cut using precision snips. I stamped the costumes first on some Neenah solar white card stock and used the mask to mask-off the image, then stamped the two quokkas from the Dress-Up Quokka Stamp Set. By doing so, it created a seamless look. I used my Scan N cut machine to cut the images out.
My third sample is fairly simple! For my card base, I used the Tri-Fold Scored Cards and Envelopes available at the shop with the Never-Ending Square die set to create the windows. I once again ink-blended the background with some distress oxide inks and clouds stencil. I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Boo To You Paper Pack and adhered on the inside with liquid glue.
The cute ghosts from the Boo-gy Ghosts Die Set were die-cut on some glitter card stock. I finished the design by adding some Purple Pearls and the sentiment Lift Your Spirits that I die-cut with some black and white card stock.
