Welcome back to Mommy Stampin’ Creations for Day 11 of my 31 Days of Halloween!

Today’s card features the cutest Halloween cats from the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. Their playful expressions make this card more sweet than spooky!

I paired the cat print with orange striped paper and arranged the two pieces at angles for a fun, layered look. The Very Vanilla background lets the patterns stand out, while the black card base frames the design. A “Happy Halloween” greeting, a little bat, and black dots finish it off!

Day 10: Sweet & Spooky Treat Bags!

Welcome back to Mommy Stampin’ Creations for Day 10 of my 31 Days of Halloween! Today I’m sharing three adorable Halloween treat bags I made using the Sweet & Spooky Kit from Stampin’ Up!

These projects are full of Halloween charm! There’s a smiling pumpkin with a “trick or TREAT” tag, a friendly ghost with an “EEEK!” banner, and a bat paired with a cheerful “hey BOO” greeting.

The black, orange, and soft purple colors look so cute together. Layered tags, black-and-white twine, and tiny clothespins give each bag a special finishing touch.

These would be fun to fill with wrapped candy or little surprises for friends, neighbors, or anyone who could use a Halloween smile. Handmade packaging makes even a small treat feel extra special!

Which one is your favorite—the pumpkin, ghost, or bat? Leave a comment and let me know!

31 Days of Halloween Day 8.......

 

🎃 31 Days of Halloween — Day 8:
 From Sketch to Spooky!

Welcome back to Mommy Stampin’ Creations for Day 8 of my 31 Days of Halloween! Today’s card shows how a card sketch can become a fun Halloween creation with patterned paper, bold black accents, and a spooky little spider.

Inspired by Weekly Card Sketch #001

I used Weekly Card Sketch #001 as the template for today’s card. The sketch features overlapping vertical panels and a sentiment across the front—a great starting point for mixing coordinating papers!

For my Halloween version, I used two orange patterns from Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper, including a striped panel down the center. Basic Black accents give the layout contrast, while the Basic White background lets those bright patterns stand out.

One of my favorite things about using a sketch is making it my own. I replaced the sketch’s flower accent with a black spider created using the Webs of Fun Dies, placing it beside the greeting for a Halloween twist!

Card Measurements :  
Card Base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score @ 4 1/4
#2 Panel: 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 
#3 Panel: 1 1/4 x 5 1/2
#4 Panel: 1 1/4 x 3 1/4
#5 Sentiment Label: 3 x 1 1/2

A Frightfully Fun Finish

The “Happy Halloween” sentiment from the Oh My Fright Stamp Set stretches across the layered panels. A few dots from the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts & Dots finish the card without distracting from the patterned paper.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used

• Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper — #168168

• Oh My Fright Stamp Set — #168169

• Webs of Fun Dies — #168210

• Basic Black Cardstock — #121045

• Basic White Cardstock — #166780

• Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts & Dots — #168180

Give This Sketch a Try!

Choose your favorite coordinating papers, layer your panels, and add a greeting across the front. Swap the flower for a spider, ghost, pumpkin, or another seasonal accent to make the sketch your own.

What theme would you try with Weekly Card Sketch #001? I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments!

31 Days of Halloween Day 5, 6 & 7.......

 

31 Days of Halloween — Days 5, 6 & 7: Sweet N Spooky Card Fun!

Hello, Crafty friends!
🎃👻🏚️🎃👻🏚️🎃👻🏚️

Welcome back to my 31 Days of Halloween here at Mommy Stampin’ Creations! Today I’m sharing three handmade cards for Days 5, 6 and 7—a little pumpkin fun, a haunted house, and some friendly ghostly greetings!

Each finished card measures 7 × 5 inches and combines Stampin’ Up! products with Catherine Pooler’s Sweet N Spooky 6 × 6 Patterned Paper. I love how these playful patterns give each card its own personality while bringing the whole collection together.

Day 5 — Pumpkin Fun 

The first card is full of smiling jack-o’-lanterns! The orange and white pumpkins pop against the purple patterned background, while the black border helps frame the design.

An orange layered frame draws your eye to the center, where a little pumpkin and the “October 31st” greeting add a cheerful Halloween touch. A spiderweb accent finishes off this sweet and spooky card!

Day 6 — Haunted House 

For Day 6, I went with a haunted-house theme! The black background is filled with Halloween words, making a fun backdrop for the orange house.

The gray notebook-style layer helps the house stand out, and the “Haunted House” greeting ties the design together. A few little accents add just the right finishing touch. I love the contrast of orange, gray and black on this card!

Day 7 — Ghostly Greetings  

Day 7 brings a friendly little ghost to the party! The colorful patterned paper has playful Halloween images in purple, orange and green.

A purple layered frame and angled paper pieces create a fun focal point for the “Ghostly Greetings” greeting. The green panel really catches the eye, and the little purple embellishment adds a bit of sparkle!

Three Cards, One Fun Paper Collection
🎃👻🏚️🎃👻🏚️🎃👻🏚️

These cards are a reminder that one patterned-paper collection can inspire several different looks. Try choosing a color from your paper, adding a contrasting layer, and finishing with a Halloween greeting.

The larger 7 × 5-inch card size gives these patterns and layered details plenty of room to shine!

Which one is your favorite—the pumpkins, the haunted house, or the friendly ghost? Leave me a comment below. I’d love to hear which card makes you smile!
