Halloween lovers take note! This is your month! I have a fun and easy card to create to send to friends and family. The layout lends itself to a host of different stamp sets and patterned papers. This card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Pick of the Patch Bundle and the Them Bones 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
Pick of the Patch Halloween Card
Here are some basic instructions to get you started:
Gray Granite – 11” x 4 ¼” scored and folded at 5 1/2
Basic Black — 5 1/4 x 4
Them Bones 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (two designs as pictured above) 2” x 4 ¾”
Instructions:
Emboss the piece of the 5 ¼” x 4” Basic Black cardstock with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. Add to Gray Granite card front.
Glue the two strips of DSP to card front, as shown above.
Die cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock with a circle with the third largest Stylish Shapes Dies.
Punch a piece of Gray Granite cardstock with the 2 3/8” Circle Punch. Emboss with Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. Layer the circles.
Stamp the pumpkin with Pumpkin Pie ink and the stem with Old Olive ink. Punch with Pick of the Patch Builder Punch. Add the Happy Halloween sentiment with memento ink.
Add pumpkin to circles with dimensionals.
Place on card front in lower right-hand corner.
Add three black Adhesive-Backed gems to card.
Here’s another card created using this same layout. This one uses the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle, a sneak peek from an upcoming Stampin’ Up! catalog.
This next card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Inked & Tiled stamp set and Inked Botanicals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

I have this crazy goal: I want to actually use some of the great crafting goodies I buy! Seriously! When Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog came out at the beginning of May, I bought the Dots & Spots Die. (That’s the die that makes the dotted background; the one that almost looks like cheese.) It looks cool, I thought. I should be able to do something fun with that. But, it sat there and sat there.
This last weekend, I made my way into the craft room and played with paper and that die specifically. Click here to see a fun, summer-themed card made with this die.
And then I thought: why not Halloween? I had just received the Bewitching stamp set and coordinating Witch Hat Builders Punch. Perhaps I could use all of these elements together.
Thus, the card above came to life.
Dots & Spots Die for Halloween
Here’s a quick recap of how this card came together:
Pumpkin Pie card base
Basic Black layer measuring 5 1/4 x 4 run through the Dots & Spots Die (attached to card front with just a little of glue strategically placed between the dots).
Layering Circles dies for the scallop circle
Stylish Shapes Dies for the black circle
Stamp dotted witch’s hat with black ink on white card stock, colored with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends
Pumpkin Pie banner with Stylish Shapes Dies
Finished with a bow created with black baker’s twine
