I haven’t made many Halloween cards this year so I put my thinking cap on and came up with this Halloween z-fold card made using the Celebration Tidings Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

The card base for this Halloween z-fold card is shaped using the Celebration Labels Dies from Stampin’ Up! I thought it made the card have a headstone shape. Super spooky for Halloween! Watch this video tutorial to see how I cut the card base out.

The colors in the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper were made for Halloween projects so I grabbed them for my cards. I made one card with the Smokey Slate background print and one with the Pumpkin Pie background print.

There is an extra tab in the center of the z-fold card to adhere an additional image onto. I stamped the pumpkin patch image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink then trimmed and fussy cut it out. It appears my ritzy kitty is sitting in the middle of a pumpkin patch.

The autumn season is fast approaching and I’ve been playing around with some of the stamp bundles from the Holiday Mini catalog from Stampin’ Up! Nothing says autumn like falling leaves and pumpkins! Today’s project has both!

I used the Gather Together Bundle to make this Gather Together die-cut card. Leaves and pumpkins never go out of style so this bundle will be used years from now.

The inside verse on my card is so sweet.

Watch the replay of my Coffee & a Card Facebook Live to see how easy this Gather Together die-cut card is to make.

The card I’m sharing today is a Halloween shaker card! If you scroll down this post to watch the video tutorial below, I show how to create this adorable little card including the sweet candy corn confetti! I also share a great tip for getting those tiny die-cuts lined up properly and adhered to your card front exactly where you want them.

Isn’t the card bootiful?! The colors used in the card are pulled form the piece of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper; Pumpkin Pie (of course), Basic Black and Crushed Curry.

Of course the Jar Punch and Mason Jar Shaker Dome is the center of attention on this card but the Glittered Organdy Ribbon knot ties everything together and the Rhinestone Basic Jewels were a good pick to finish the card.

Halloween cards are so much fun to make and adding a shaker element to them is fangtastic! I hope today’s project inspired you to create a shaker card of your own.

If you counted how many Halloween phrases I used in today’s post along with a few puns and ended up with four, you are correct. I guess I was feeling a little goulish!

I’m always on the lookout for stamp sets that can be used for more than one occasion and the stamp set I used in today’s cards does just that! I made two cards using the Celebration Tidings stamp set from Stampin’ Up! in this week’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live.

Look at all those holidays included in one stamp set! I consider it a great value. These are the two cards we made during the Live.

The plaid patterned, Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper worked for this project like a Pumpkin Spice Latte works on a chilly day. I also used the Celebration Labels Dies that coordinate with the stamp set (save 10% when you purchase the stamp set and dies together).

This first autumn inspired card is a simple Z-fold card with lots of yummy layers.

• Card Base = 11″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock scored at 2-3/4″ & 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. Fold on card lines to create card base.
• Cajun Craze = 5-1/4″ x 4″, 4″ x 2-1/2″, 5″ x 4″ (die-cut)
• Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper = 5″ x 3-3/4″, 3-3/4″ x 2-1/4″
• Whisper White = two pieces 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ each

This next card is a window card. If I had added a window sheet under the top layer it would make an awesome shaker card.

• Card Base = 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″. Fold on score line to create card base.
• Basic Black = 5-1/4″ x 4″
• Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper = 5″ x 3-3/4″
• Whisper White = scrap for spider die-cuts
