Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
• I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
• the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

• Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!

  July 21, 2025

  Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?!  They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with. 

  Save

  I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY! 

  Save

  Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here.  I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink.  Pretty cool! 

  I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.  

  Save

  My colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White for a fresh floral card design. Want to know the steps to achieve a shaker card?  Best to grab the free project sheet below or watch the video tutorial.
