Fun Halloween Cards 2026

Are you ready for a few fun Halloween card ideas?  I have to admit that I've had Halloween products from the July Online Exclusives for a while now, but I just haven't had time to get INTO them.  There just doesn't seem to be enough time for all of the things on my ever-growing to-do list.  But here we are... 

I do want to say up front that the adorable Bats, Ghosts & Dots are currently out of stock, and expected back in the week of Sep 14th.  PLEASE sign up for email notification when they are back in stock, if you are interested in them.  They ran out of stock pretty quickly, and I'm afraid you'll miss out on getting them before Halloween if you wait too long.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

I kicked things off with a new product that I found on Amazon - card spinners!  Before we go any further, I have linked both types of spinners that I bought in my Amazon Store at the end of this post.  I wanted to make sure that I really like them enough before I shared them and I LOVE THEM.  They spin so nicely!  I got some clear ones, and then some white ones.  I cannot stress how smoothly these spin - assuming you glue them on flat....the bottom right hand corner spider spinner is a little off-kilter because I glued it onto the glitter spider web.  Having a completely flat surface makes a little difference.

The only negative is that they are a smidge over 1/4" tall, so I expect they will not go through the mail without being hand-cancelled.  That's the price of cuteness sometimes though!

Very cute spider web corners, and then I added the label with HALLOWEEN.  Add a small bit of the Black Iridescent Ribbon to the edge...that ribbon is perfect for your Halloween projects.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Black:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for the inside
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  4" x 5 1/4"
• Black Glitter Paper:  whatever you need to die-cut one whole spider web, which you will then cut up
• Basic White:  1 1/2" x 3 1/2", cut with label die
• Pumpkin Pie Glitter paper:  scrap to die-cut "happy"
• Basic Black:  scraps to die-cut spiders
• Basic White:  scraps to die-cut detailed spiders

Ink blend Timid Tiger and Pumpkin Pie around the spiders, and layer them on to the black.

I finished off with some of the black dots from the Ghosts, Bats & Dots.  You could use rhinestones, or something black and glittery.

If you don't have the Glitter papers that I've used, you could die-cut out of regular colored cardstock and then load up with either the Clear Shimmer brush, or heavily apply glitter.

Stamps:  Web of Fun Bundle

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Paper:  Basic Black, Basic White, Pumpkin Pie & Black Glitter papers (retired), Frightfully Fun DSP

Other:  Scalloped Blooms dies, 2" and 2 1/4" Circle punches, White Diagonal ribbon, small flower punch, Shimmering Dots (white)

My second project is an Arches Tri-Fold - these arches make me think of tombstones.  I cut some of the smaller arches to add to the card as well.  I ripped the bottoms to make it look like they're coming out of the ground.  Hand-cut some of the ghosts right from the Frightfully Fun DSP, and ink blend the edges.

My sister always liked a good pink Halloween card, so I had to make something in her memory.  Pink is great for Halloween!  I used Strawberry Slush.   Die-cut three each of the letters, and emboss the top one with the Swirls of Magic embossing folder.  Glue them all together and add to the panels.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Greay:  (3) 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", cut with largest Everyday Arches die
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  (3) 5" tall, cut with second largest Everday Arches die.  Cut these panels close so your "scene" stays in tact.
• Basic Grey hinges:  (2) 3" x 1", scored at 1/2"
• Basic Grey:  scraps to die-cut more Arches/tombstones
• Strawberry Slush:  scraps to die-cut letters
• Basic White and Basic Grey:  scraps to stamp and layer greetings

Standing up.

Last panel.  

Finished off with some of the cute ghosts!  I also stamped some of the tiny bats from the upcoming Design a Tag stamp set on all three panels.  

Stamps:  Web of Fun, Design a Tag, Painted Pumpkins, Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink:  Basic Grey, Strawberry Slush

Paper:  Basic Grey, Strawberry Slush, Basic White, Frightfully Fun DSP

Other:  Everyday Arches dies, Party Alphabet dies, Swirls of Magic embossing folder, Ghosts, Bats & Dots, 

My third project is a Dutch Door Fold, and I did not have time to create this on camera so you're getting pictures and measurements here.  These are really fun to make.  The thing to keep in mind is if you write your message all over that inside Basic White layer, you'll definitely see it before you open the card completely.  Just something to keep in mind.

A cute pile of cats are the focal point on this card!  Layer them and tuck together.  Only the orange one is popped up with dimensionals.

Paper Measurements:

• Timid Tiger:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
• Timid Tiger:  2 1/8" x 6", scored at 5 1/2"
• Basic White:  4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  1 7/8" x 5 3/8"
• Basic Black:  4 1/2" x 4 1/2", cut with Web of Fun spiderweb die
• Basic Black:  2" circle
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  1 3/4" circle (you can't see it, but it's glued to the 2" Black circle.  
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  hand-cut three cats
• Basic White:  scraps to punch out Advent label and stamp/hand-cut tiny witch hat

I like to make my Dutch Door fold cards with two separate pieces.  The base 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", and then the door, that has a hinge.  Attach the hinge to the base, THEN add your paper to cover up that hinge on the inside.

Back side of the Dutch Door - you can see only the bottom half of the spider web is glued to the front of the door.  I added a 2" circle of Basic Black on the front side, to give some more stability.

Finish off with some more of the Black dots.

Stamps:  Design a Tag

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Paper:  Timid Tiger, Basic Black, Basic White, Frightfully Fun DSP

Other:  Web of Fun dies, 2" and 1 3/4" Circle punches, Advent Labels punch, Ghosts, Bats & Dots, Black 3/8" Iridescent Ribbon

I hope this gives you a little more inspiration for your Halloween cards!  Join me this Thursday night for some Sunflower Fields projects.  These papers are SO beautiful!  You'll be able to use any sunflower stamps that you might already have.

Don't forget to check out my Amazon Store link below to find the spinners that I used on my first card!

3-Ring Mini Album featuring Waterside Retreat DSP, and the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit

Are you ready for this month's Mini Album?!  Once again, this project turned out 1000 times better than it was in my head.  I love it!  This mini uses three large-ish o'rings to bind all of the pages together.  Every page, including the front and back covers has the same hinge with the same holes punched.

When I originally planned this video, I was going to use the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Papers, the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit, and the Sunset Coast Bundle.  When the album took a decidedly "lake" turn, the Sunset Coast bundle no longer worked for me so I managed without it.  In fact, there is no stamping in this book.  YET.  Who knows what I'll do when I add pictures.

Finished album size is 5 1/2" x 7 1/2".  Inside pages are all 7" tall.  I've got a few different style pages, as you'll see.  I like the variety of page style and size.  Every page has a hinge in the same color.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

I actually made a separate video tonight, where I made the Front and Back Covers over again... Watch that video HERE.  When I sat down to make this blog post, I realized that I did not assemble the covers the way that I wanted to show you...so I re-did that part and then I added a walk-through of the final album so you could see every page.  I hope you like that!

I'm going to list all of the measurements, then share pictures of some of the pages.

Cardstock colors that I used throughout the book are Old Olive, Garden Green, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight, Gray Granite.  

CS = cardstock

DSP = Designer series paper

Hinges:  ALL hinges are the same.  I cut three of them down, when I needed to, but they all start out the same size.

• CS:  7" x 3", scored at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2"

I really want you to pay attention to the video to see how I attach each page style to the hinge.

Front and Back Covers:

• CS:  (2) 7 1/2" x 9 1/2", scored at 1" on all 4 sides
• Whiteboard:  (2) 5 3/8" x 7 3/8"
• CS:  (2) 5 3/8" x 7 3/8:
• Hinges (2)

Main Pocket Pages and Inserts (6)

• CS:  7" x 10", scored at 5"
• DSP:  4 3/4" x 6 3/4"
• CS (Insert):  4 3/4" x 7"
• Hinges

Paper Pumpkin Card Pocket Pages (3)

• Paper Pumpkin Cards (3):  no changes.  Use them whole
• Hinges (3)
• Paper Pumpkin Cards (3):  trim down to 4" side x 5 1/4" tall

Skinny Pages with double pockets (5)

• CS:  7" x 7", scored at 3 1/2"
• DSP:  3 1/4" x 6 3/4"
• CS:  2 1/2" x 4 1/2", scored at 1/2", and 4"
• DSP:  2" x 3 1/4"
• CS:  3 1/2" x 4 1/2", scored at 1/2" on 3 sides
• DSP:  2 3/4" x 3 1/4"

First main page as you open the album.  The inserts sit up just enough to be able to grab them up, and they don't poke out from the top of the album.

You can see the back side of one of the Paper Pumpkin pocket pages.  It's got another Paper Pumpkin card INSIDE of the pocket, as the insert.

Back side of another main page, and another Paper Pumpkin Card pocket page.  This time, I have this pocket attached to the top two rings.

You can see the two stacked pockets on this Skinny page.  The top pocket has no bottom, so it reaches all the way to the bottom of the page.

Back side of that Skinny page, and another Main page with insert.

Between all of the pages, pockets, and inserts, I'm guessing this "mini" will hold up to 60 pages of different sizes.  Amazing!

This last picture shows that without any pictures, this mini is already pretty chunky.  It' about 1 1/2" thick!!!

Think about which papers you have that might work for an album like this.  Don't worry if you don't have a coordinating Paper Pumpkin Kit.  If you like the idea of those style pages - use CARDS from your stash.  They're the same size!  Then make another card for the insert. 

I like the different size and style pages - mix and match to your heart's desire!  

Stamps:  None

Ink:  None

Paper:  Garden Green, Gray Granite, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Waterside Retreat Designer Series Papers

Other:  Party Alphabet dies, Mini Alphabet dies, Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit, 0-rings (Walmart), various ribbons

Join me this Thursday for some Halloween projects!  I know it's early, but I want everyone to have plenty of time to create BEFORE Halloween is upon us.

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Coaster Craftiness

Do you like the idea of recycling or upcycling in your craft projects?  Next time you're at a restaurant or bar, grab some coasters (new, or in good condition) for some fun!  I used four square coasters for these two projects.  Luckily, these coasters are 4" x 4", which is a pretty perfect size for cutting up 12" x 12" designer series papers!  You could certainly make things with circles or other shape coasters.  In fact, I showed two mini albums in the video, that I made using circle-shaped coasters from 2008/2009 time frame.  

I forgot to mention that you can also use the coasters as chipboard - die-cut letters or shapes to add to other projects.

The trickiest part of these projects was finding the right corner rounder that fit these particular coasters.  Luckily, I have a bunch to choose from!  The one that was the best fit was a retired SU Project Life corner rounder.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

My first project is a fun stand-up easel to hold a picture.  I envision this sitting on your desk (home or office), on a shelf, table or mantel - anywhere that you'd want to display a small picture.  The beauty of this is on the inside - I used a hinge at the top, and then a gusseted hinge at the bottom to keep it standing up.  It won't fall flat, or tip over.

I glued in the Top hinge FIRST, to the back sides of the two coasters.  Then cover that hinge with light pink DSP.  It's not necessary, but why not cover the hinge if you can?

Paper Measurements:

• Everyday Essentials DSP (Floral print):  (2) 4" x 4"
• Everyday Essentials DSP (light pink print):  (2) 4" x 4"
• Bubble Bath (Top hinge):  3 1/2" x 2", score at 1"
• Bubble Bath (Bottom Gusseted Hinge):  3 1/2" x 3", score at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2"

Picture from the side.  You can't see the top hinge, but you do get a look at the bottom gusseted hinge that keeps this standing up.

The greeting was from one of the Ephemera packs, and it is a sticker.  I wanted to create a tuck spot, so I stuck it on a scrap piece of Bubble Bath cardstock and trimmed around it with no border.  This allows me not to worry about the back being so sticky, or trying to make it less sticky with an Embossing Buddy or just tapping it on my pants or something.  Just avoid all of that, stick it on some cardstock, and move on.  I can slide whatever picture I want down there.   The tuck spot allows me to swap out pictures if I want, OR I can glue a picture down.  My choice.

I added the little pink flag at the top, and then two Fresh Freesia blooms around the greeting tuck spot.

Stamps:  None

Ink:  None

Paper:  Bubble Bath, Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP

Other:  Coasters, Here & Now Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Meant for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Self-Adhesive Blooms (Fresh Freesia)

My second project is one of my favorites - a MINI ALBUM!  I love using coasters to make mini albums.  You can either use a coaster for every base page, OR use the coasters just for the covers and create pages with cardstock/designer series papers.  I used the latter method.  Coaster covers, paper pages.  During the video, I showed how to make FOUR pages, and I talked about how you could add more pages if you want.  Well, I decided I wanted more so I made another set of four pages.  Same designs as the first batch.  Every page is a pocket page WITH an insert.  By my count, this little album will hold 32 pictures and/or places for journaling!  

Notice that I used two 1" rings to bind my album.  If you have some sort of binding machine, that would work as well.  I think the Cinch machine would be good.  I used to have the Zutter Bind-it-All.  Both are coil systems, and really good for making your own books, journals, or albums.  You could also do something entirely different and create a hinge between each page.  

I decided to make this a birthday album, but I don't know what theme I'm going with yet.  I could go balloons...florals...something else entirely.  Not sure, so I only put something on the front cover.  It's a piece from the Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.  I mounted that to a piece of Pretty Peacock.  Then I used three different ribbons to tie knots on the two rings.  You could certainly use three rings if you'd like.  I don't see that it gets you anything extra to use a third ring...but that's up to you.

Paper Measurements:

• Beautiful Ordinary Life Covers (front and back of each):  (4) 4" x 4"
• Lemon Lolly & Timid Tiger (Fold Up pocket pages):  5 1/2" x 8" each.  Score at 4", turn and score again at 4".  See video for how to trim and glue pockets.
• Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP pocket pages:  (4) 4" x 8", scored at 4"
• Flirty Flamingo & Lost Lagoon (Side pocket pages):  4" x 11" each.  Score at 1 1/2", 5 1/2", 9 1/2"
• Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP:  (8) 1 1/4" x 3 3/4".  Add these bits to all of the pockets, whether they are along the bottom of a page, or the side.  Same size for all.
• Cardstock (random colors from the paper pack) Pocket Inserts:  (8) 3" x 3 3/4"  (NOTE:  In the video, I said 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"...I changed my mind.  They were a little too tight, and will only get tighter when you add pictures.
• Same cardstock color from above:   scraps to punch out tabs for the inserts.

Top view of the mini album.

One set of pages.  See how I staggered the 

Bottom pocket page on the left.  

Side pocket page on the right.  I mixed and matched the photo insert with the tabs at the top, so they're all different colors.

Like I said earlier, I finished off by tying some ribbons around the rings.  I'll add whatever ephemera or doo-dads that are appropriate once I add pictures and decide on the album them.  For now, this is a GREAT start!

Stamps:  None

Ink:  None

Paper:  Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Timid Tiger, Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP

Other:  Coasters, 1" O-rings, Timid Tiger/Lemon Lolly, Pool Party Pom Pom ribbons. Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Round-Tab punch, Keeping Tabs punch, corner rounder (old SU Project Life corner rounder)

I also gave a quick idea for making a box out of these coasters, and decided that I will make a separate video on that.  That project needs it's own video to focus on the assembly, and not rush through it.

This coming Thursday, I'll be creating another scrapbook project - probably a folio, but not sure yet - using the Waterside Retreat Papers, the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin kit (that I haven't even opened yet), and maybe the Sunset Coast bundle.  All of these products together should make for a pretty cool project!

REMINDER:  Paper Share information for the upcoming September Online Exclusives AND Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog.  15 packs of paper total!  https://tonistamps.blogspot.com/2026/08/paper-share-september-december-2026.html   Email me to sign up!  I could use two more to fill up my next batch!

Projects featuring the Velvet Meadows Papers

Have you had the chance to FEEL this Velvet Meadows paper???  It's really got velvet bits on one side of each print.  Reminds me of the wallpaper in fancy restaurants growing up.  I also love the colors in this paper, and was happy to see Peaceful Pine in it.  I love any green!  

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

First up is a card that will use up an entire 6" x 12" piece of the papers.  If you got a Paper Share from me, this will be the perfect way to use up this sheet.  I will say that scoring on the velvet, or lumpy, side is a little bit tricky.  Go slow, so you don't jump the track in your score board.  Also, gluing things ON the lumpy side is interesting.  MORE glue.  :)

Paper Measurements:

• Velvet Meadows DSP:  6" x 9", 
• score the long side at 1/4", 4 1/2", 8 3/4"
• score the short side at 1/4" from each end
• Velvet Meadows DSP (same piece as above, use up the left overs):  (2) 1 1/2" x 5 3/8"
• Cloud Cover:  2 5/8" x 5 3/8"
• Basic White:  2 5/8" x 5 3/8"
• Cloud Cover:  3" x 3", cut with Scalloped Blooms die
• Basic White:  2" and 2 1/4" circles

Picture of the inside.  You can see how I used the last bits of dsp on the outer edges, then added some Cloud Cover and White cardstock.  You could totally stamp something on the Cloud Cover piece if you wanted.  Do that before you glue it down though.

I finished this one off with some small flower punch-outs in Cloud Cover, with some Shimmering Dots (white) centers.  

Stamps:  Scalloped Blooms

Ink:  Cloud Cover

Paper:  Cloud Cover, Basic White, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Scalloped Blooms dies, 2" and 2 1/4" Circle punches, White Diagonal ribbon, small flower punch, Shimmering Dots (white)

My second project is a fun Back Flip card.  I always forget to do the scoring on the right-hand side BEFORE I start gluing papers down...but I remembered this time.  I stamped those floral arrangements on Basic White, and then I ink-blended some Basic Beige all over just so they would blend in more with that Basic Beige background in the DSP.  Run a Blender Pen all over those Peaceful Pine stamped images to drag a little bit of the color in.

Paper Measurements:

• Peaceful Pine:  5 1/2" x 7 1/2", scored at 3 1/4", and 6 1/2"
• Peaceful Pine:  3/4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Forever Plaid folder
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  3" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White:  3" x 5 1/4", for inside
• Basic White:  scraps to stamp and die-cut floral bits
• Peaceful Pine:  2 1/2" circle
• Basic Beige:  2 1/4" circle

Opened up.  You can see that I glued that larger floral behind the Peaceful Pine circle.

Finished off with some retired Charming Faceted Shimmer Gems in Berry Burst.

Stamps:  Scalloped Blooms bundle, Fern & Flora bundle

Ink:  Peaceful Pine, Berry Burst, Basic Beige

Paper:  Peaceful Pine, Basic White, Basic Beige, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Forever Plaid embossing folder, 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" Circle punches, Charming Faceted Shimmer Gems

My third project is a really cool "WV" fold card.  Every time I see it written down, I think West Virginia, but that's really got nothing to do with it!  Ignore the fact that I didn't get my "V" glued down straight.  I added Clear Shimmer brush to the die-cut flowers after the fact.

From the top, you can see how it gets the name.  You see the "W", and the "V"...

Paper Measurements:

• Berry Burst (the "W"):  5 1/2" x 11", scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4", 7"
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  (4) 1 1/2" x 5 1/4"
• Peaceful Pine (the "V"):  3" x 6", scored at 3"
• Velvet Meadows DSP  2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
• Basic White:  2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  3 3/4" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White:  3" x 6"
• Bubble Bath/Berry Burst/Daffodil Delight:  scraps to die-cut Boutique Blossoms
• Basic White:  scrap to die-cut label with Scalloped Blooms dies

Opened up, you can see all of the panels.  If you didn't want that smaller square of Basic White to write on, you could substitute with another piece of DSP or an embossed piece of Peaceful Pine.

I finished this one with some of the In Color Butterflies in Barely Blush.

Stamps:  Fern & Flora

Ink:  Peaceful Pine

Paper:  Berry Burst, Peaceful Pine, Bubble Bath, Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Boutique Blossoms dies, Scalloped Blooms dies, Clear Shimmer brush, 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies

For my last project, I had to create this one off-line and share with you here.  I ran out of time, and still wanted to show some of the papers from the upcoming Paper Share.  This one is a Jumbo Tag.  I did talk about what I planned to do in the video, so here you see it -  I love making a tag, card, or even a scrapbook page with "HB" for Happy Birthday.  I also stamped out the words and hand-cut them. 

Double-layer the die-cut letters for a little more stability.  Top layer is embossed with the Eyelet folder. I used the Clear Shimmer brush on all of these flowers as well.

Paper Measurements:

• Peaceful Pine:  3" x 6"
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  2 7/8" x 5 7/8"
• Daffodil Delight:  scraps to die-cut letters (twice).  Emboss one of each with Eyelet folder
• Bubble Bath & Berry Burst:  scraps to die-cut Boutique Blossoms flowers
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp and hand-cut words

Close-up look.  I did not add a layer of Basic White on the back, but you certainly could if you wanted.

Finished off with some more of the Charming Faceted Shimmer gems in Berry Burst.  

Stamps:  Balloon Festoon

Ink:  Berry Burst

Paper:  Peaceful Pine, Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Eyelet embossing folder, Boutique Blossoms dies, Party Alphabet dies, Clear Shimmer brush, Peaceful Pine 3/8" Bordered Ribbon, Linen Thread, Charming Faceted Shimmer Gems (Berry Burst), Clear Shimmer brush

These Velvet Meadows papers are so pretty in real life!  I hope you enjoyed my ideas for using them.

This coming Thursday, I'll be working with COASTERS.  I went through a phase years and years ago where I was doing a lot of projects with coasters.  Let's bring some of those back!  I will tell you, the coasters today are a lot thinner and smaller (in a good way) than the ones I had 20 years ago.
