Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Fun-Fold Halloween Card

It’s September and that means it’s time to start your fall holiday crafting! Halloween will be here before we know it so I’m busy getting started on those projects. I made this fun-fold Halloween Card today during my Make-it-Monday Livestream.

I used traditional Halloween colors and the Them Bones Designer Series Paper for the card base and all the layers. I used dies from the Tricks & Treats Dies to make the cute candy corn die-cuts for the front flap of the card.

I think my favorite thing about this fun-fold Halloween card is the buffalo check ribbon embellishment. I colored the Very Vanilla squares in the ribbon with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend. The sentiment tag with ribbon tie fills out the front flap of the card and adds some texture.

Cutting & Scoring Guide

  • Card Base = 6-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Basic Black Cardstock scored at 4-1/4″ on the 6-1/2″ side
  • Pumpkin Pie Cardstock = 5-1/4″ x 2″ and 2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″
  • Basic Black Cardstock = 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ scored at 1/2″ on one side
  • Basic White Cardstock = 4″ x 5-1/4″,
  • Scraps of Basic White, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze cardstock

Make a Bewitching Trick-or-Treat Halloween Treat Box

I have another Bewitching Halloween Treat Holder project for you today! There are no tricks, only treats, about this 3-D paper crafting design!

The base for the Bewitching Halloween Treat Holder is fairly simple to complete. It uses two 6″ x 4-1/4″ pieces of Basic Black card stock. Here is a cutting and scoring guide for you to use when making your own box. Remember to cut and score two.

I used the Bewitching and Alphabest Bundles from Stampin’ Up! to embellish the box.

Make a Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder

The Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder I’m sharing today is a quirky little fellow. The basket of the treat holder measures 2″ tall and 3-1/2″ wide. It’s big enough to hold a significant number of harvest treats!

I think the Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder would make an incredible gift at everyone’s place at the holiday table. A perfect gift for a co-worker or a flock of them would be a fun contribution to the book club.

The basket is made from a 6″ x 6″ piece of cardstock scored at 2″ and 4″ on both sides. Score at 5/8″ and 1-3/8″ on each corner panel. Make a tic mark at 3″ on the top and bottom middle panels. Use a ruler and stylus to create a diagonal score line from the tic mark to the corners of the middle panels per diagram.

Cut on the score lines per diagram:

Once the scoring and cutting are done, the basket is ready to assemble and embellish. I used the Layering Circles Dies and the Hello Harvest Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to finish the Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder. Watch the video below for complete project directions.

Make a Cottage Wreaths Fancy Fold Christmas Card!

I’m always ready to learn a new fancy fold for my card making. The Cottage Wreaths Fancy-Fold Christmas Card I’m sharing today is a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ square card. I used the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to decorate the front flap.

I purchased the Cottage Wreaths Bundle because of its versatility. The bundle can be used for all holidays and occasions. Here it is decked out for Halloween.

I’m loving the Real Red Glimmer Paper bow and the sparkly sequins on the wreath. The fancy part of this card is the fold. It’s like a card within a card and the effect was so easy to achieve!

Make a Cottage Wreaths Mini Cutting Board for Fall Decor

I stumbled across mini cutting boards during a recent visit to Hobby Lobby. Of course, I had to make something using them and here is the result:

I painted the 3-1/2″ x 7″ natural wood cutting boards with white spray paint and then embellished them using the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper and the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Make a Bewitching Halloween Cauldron Treat Holder

Today I’m sharing a Bewitching Halloween Cauldron Treat Holder. I found the plastic mini cauldrons at a local Dollar Tree store and knew I wanted to embellish them for Halloween. You can also find the same plastic buckets on Amazon.

These treat holders would make excellent class party favors, coworker treats, and teacher gifts. And, bonus, they are quick and easy to make! I used the Bewitching Bundle by Stampin’ Up! to decorate the cauldrons.

A strip of window sheet helped to make it appear that the witch has fallen into the cauldron. Another small detail that I love about this Bewitching Halloween Cauldron treat holder is the spider hanging from the witch’s hat.

Make a Hello Harvest Watercolor Card

Probably not a popular opinion, but I’m not a pumpkin spice latte fan. I hope we can still be friends – lol! I am, however, a fan of pumpkins and am beginning to scatter them around the house and craft with them as we enter September. This card, made yesterday during my live Coffee & a Card, was so fun to make.

I used Water Painters along with re-inkers and stamps to create the soft, watercolor effect onto Shimmery White cardstock. The card base is an 8-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. The other layers on the card include a 4″ x 4″ piece of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper, a 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and a 3″ x 3″ piece of Basic White cardstock.

Make a Hello Harvest Curtain Fold Card

Kiddos in our area started school this week and that means that the days will begin to get cooler as the Fall season begins. Today’s Hello Harvest Curtain-Fold card gives all the autumn feels. I used products from Stampin’ Up!’s Rustic Harvest Suite to create my card.

Look at those gorgeous, jewel-tone colors in the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper! I used a more subdued print for my Hello Harvest Curtain-Fold card. I didn’t want the paper to compete with the layers of die-cuts that I added.

I used ink and Stampin’ Blends to color the die-cuts on the card and popped everything up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Here is a close-up.

The curtain-fold on the card front is very easy to achieve and I think it elevates the card. I will be using this technique a lot in the future.

Make a Bewitching Halloween Card

The project I’m sharing with you today is this bewitching Halloween card. I used the Bewitching Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to dress up this project. The idea for this card and how to create a pumpkin from circle dies came from a card by fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, Don Olchefske. You may view Dawn’s card here: https://bit.ly/3zIlWXb

Make a Halloween Monster Party Favor

I had so much fun making the candy corn treat box last week that I decided to make another one. Today’s Halloween Monster Party Favor follows the exact instructions, but is a different scary one! I guess we can call him Frank.

The Monster Party Favor is a good-sized box measuring 1-1/2″ deep, 3″ tall, and 2-1/2″ wide. It’s a great size to fill with spooky treats or even a gift card.

Make a Candy Corn Treat Box

Today’s project is this sweet 3-dimensional candy corn treat box. After creating the candy corn panels I determined how big my box should be and went from there. It’s such a cute little party favor and would hold many different spooky treats or even a gift card.

It’s not too early to begin thinking about your fall and holiday papercraft projects. How satisfying would it be to have a collection of greeting cards to choose from when the occasion arises come September?!

My Hello Harvest greeting card is one that I would be proud to send. The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper and beautiful images from the Hello Harvest stamp set did all the work for me.

Make a Clever Cat Interactive Halloween Card

Any little or big monsters in your life would love to receive today’s card! The interactive Halloween card project I’m sharing today features pumpkins, cats, bats and a cute little witches hat. Plus it uses all the traditional holiday colors; Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Crushed Curry and Gorgeous Grape.

A black cat is the official mascot of Halloween but I chose Pumpkin Pie ink to stamp my snarky, fat cat so he would stand out more against the black background of the card.

Cutting/Scoring Guide

  • Thick Basic White = 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4”
  • Designer Series Paper = two pieces 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” each (choose two coordinating patterns)
  • Basic White = 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”, 4” x 4”, 3” x 3”, ½” x 4-1/4”
