To create the scary night time scene on today’s card, I used the Spooky Fun Bundle, which is the Spooky Fun stamp set and the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies.
Here’s how I did it:
The card base is Basic Black with a Dapper Denim card stock layer glued on the front.
I used the dies to cut the tree and one set of tombstones from Basic Black card stock, and the fence and two more sets of tombstones from Basic Gray card stock.
Using Memento Black ink, I stamped the pumpkins and jack-o-lantern faces onto Pumpkin Pie card stock, the tombstones onto Smoky Slate card stock, and the moon and witch onto Crushed Curry card stock. I cut out the pumpkins and tombstones with the dies, and the moon with a 1-3/8″ Circle Punch.
I stamped the witch onto the Dapper Denim layer, then glued the moon over the top, lining up the broom that extends past the moon’s edges.
I used a Sponge Dauber to smudge some Basic Gray ink onto the Basic Gray layer, then glued the pumpkins on. Then I glued all the other pieces onto the card front.
I stamped the cobwebs and sentiment onto a piece of Smoky Slate card stock and glued it to the inside of the card.

Three little skeletons walking down the street. They’re all bones from head to feet. All they wanna do is Trick of Treat, to add some meat by eating sweets.. Okay, so I’m no poet. But I did make this card, which I think is pretty cute. What do you think?
Here’s how I did it:
The card base is Basic Black card stock.
I cut the street scene from a piece of Halloween Night Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the skeletons from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set in Basic Black ink onto Whisper White card stock, then cut them out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.
I stamped the gauzy image from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set in Basic Black ink onto a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock. I swiped it with the Embossing Buddy, then stamped the sentiment from the Mr. Funny Bones stamp set in Versamark ink. I heat embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
I glued the two rectangular pieces to the card base. I glued the skeletons together, then adhered them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the card’s interior, you can glue in a piece of lighter colored card stock, maybe Whisper White or Smoky Slate, to write your message. I didn’t because I like to use a white pen to write directly onto the black card base.

I have really been enjoying playing with the new Cookie Cutter stamp sets and punch. Today’s card is no exception. And don’t you think the gauzy image from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set pairs perfectly with the mummy from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set?
Here’s how I did it:
I stamped the mummy in Early Espresso ink onto Whisper White card stock. I used a Blender Pen to smudge the ink to dirty him up a bit.
I stamped the moon from the Spooky Fun stamp set onto Delightful Dijon card stock and cut it out with the 1-3/8″ Circle Punch.
I stamped the gauze over and over in Soft Suede ink directly onto the Sahara Sand card base. I then stamped the bats from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set, and EEEK from the Spooky Fun stamp set, in Basic Black ink. I used a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker to make a place for the mummy to stand.
I adhered the moon and the mummy with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This happy scarecrow in the pumpkin patch is perfect for wishing someone a Happy Halloween, especially someone who isn’t crazy about scary ghosts and goblins. Even the crow and the jack-o-lanterns are cute rather than scary.
Here’s how I did it:
I stamped the scarecrow from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set in Basic Black ink onto Whisper White card stock. I colored him in with Stampin’ Write Markers in Marina Mist, Dapper Denim, Pear Pizzazz, Real Red, Emerald Envy, Pumpkin Pie, and So Saffron. Then I cut him out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.
The banner is a strip of Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper matted with a piece of Basic Gray card stock. I stamped the crow from the same stamp set, and the sentiment from the Spooky Fun stamp set, in Basic Black ink onto the DSP.
I stamped the jack-o-lantern faces from the Spooky Fun stamp set onto some of the pumpkins on a piece of Halloween Night DSP, then glued it to a Pumpkin Pie card base.
I glued the banner onto the card front, then adhered the scarecrow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Today’s card is another one I’ve made with the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set and the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. This cute little vampire is flying up and out of his lair with his little bat buddies.
Here’s how I did it:
I stamped the vampire from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set in Archival Basic Black ink onto Whisper White card stock. I colored his vest in Real Red and his pendant in Delightful Dijon with Stampin’ Write Markers. Then I used the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch to cut him out.
I stamped the sentiment from the Mr. Funny Bones stamp set in Real Red onto a strip of Whisper White card stock. I tore the ends, then inked all the edges in Basic Black ink with a sponge Dauber.
The brick background is from the Halloween Night Designer Series Paper. I stamped the bloody drips in Real Read ink and the cob webs in Basic Black ink directly onto the DSP – both of these images are from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set. Then I stamped the bats from the Spooky Fun stamp set in Basic Black, flying up from the bottom right corner.
I matted this on a piece of Basic Black card stock, and glued that to a Real Red card base.
I adhered the sentiment and vampire to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, putting the vampire in the flight path of the bats, so he’s flying with them.

Some skeletons are scary. Some skeletons are funny. This one is cute as a button, and he’s all dressed up to send some fun Halloween greetings.
Here’s how I did it:
The card base is Pumpkin Pie card stock with a layer of Whisper White card stock. I wrapped Pumpkin Pie twine from the Halloween Night Baker’s Twine around a layer of Halloween Night Designer Series Paper, and tied a knot, then glued the DSP to the card front.
I stamped two images from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set: the skeleton in Black Memento ink, and the bow tie in Pumpkin Pie ink, onto Whisper White card stock. I cut the pieces with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch and glued the bowtie onto the skeleton. I glued the skeleton onto a piece of Basic Black card stock, and glued that onto a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock, then glued the whole thing to the card front. I didn’t really measure these two pieces of card stock. I just laid the skeleton on the Basic Black piece and trimmed to a good size, then cut the Pumpkin Pie piece a little bigger.
I stamped the banner from the Banners for You stamp set in Black Memento ink onto Whisper White card stock, then stamped the sentiment from the new Spooky Fun stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink inside the banner. It’s easy to curve the sentiment to match the banner, because it’s photopolymer. I cut the banner with the coordinating die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies, then adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
