Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 18

A trio of monsters are having a great time at the party as showcased on today's ATC from my partner. They sure look like they are having a lot of fun! I want to go to that party.

A trio of witches are really whooping it up on the card that I sent for Day 18. I used one of my favourite backgrounds for this ATC. I hope I can duplicate the process to create more similar backgrounds for next year.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 17

A little witch is waving her wand and creating Halloween magic on the card from my partner for Day 17. The starry night background is perfect for this ATC. How I wish that I had the patience to colour images like that. That witch is so adorable!

Count Dracula is out sneaking around looking for Halloween treats on the card I sent to my partner for today. I wish you could all feel the texture the used dryer sheets give to my ATCs. The 'ground' he stands on is created using a Sharpie marker.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 16

Something wicked this way comes! What is it this time? It's just some silly ghosts and a couple of black cats hiding in the shadows. Another great ATC from my partner for Day 16. Thank you.

The card I sent to my partner for Day 16 has another cute Halloween gnome with a purple witch hat and carrying a black cat. I really like those seasonal gnome dies. I think I have some for Christmas too.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day15

Super cute doggie Halloween for todays' ATC. They are all dressed up and ready to party, and no doubt, looking for treats. They are so adorable in their costumes. I imagine dogs are more willing to let you dress them up than cats are. LOL

The card that I sent to my partner today is 'spooktacular'. Three little ghosts are joyfully frolicking on Halloween night. They look like they are having fun, don't they?

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 14

I don't know how I forgot to post last night but I did, so this is post number two for today. The Frankenstein most is larger than life on the ATC for Day 14. I don't know how she created that bumpy background, is it texture paste or did the paper come like that. I can't figure it out.

The trick or treaters are out on the card I created for Day 14. It looks like they are having lots of fun. I remember going out when I was a child and then with my own children. Always a great night.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 13

Day 13 has lots of pumpkins and a cute little cat! The card also features orange metallic ribbon with black on the edges, along with some teeny tiny glittery stars. It's a very happy card. I love it.

The ATC I sent to my partner for day 13 has a very spooky looking tree with a ghost and bat flying by. I actually really like this background I made. It looks like it has depth when it is just paint and stamping, very one dimensional.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 12

Another winner from my partner today! There are so many elements to the day 12 ATC. She included paint, silver texture paste, gold thread and tiny gems. It's a miniature work of art. Why am I so afraid to experiment like that? The results are phenomenal.

My card to her today did branch out a bit with painted drywall tape in the background, stamping and die cutting. But I always seem to fall back to my old, trusted techniques. I hope she is not disappointed with the ATCs this year.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 11

The background for Day 11 consists of paint, stamping, embossing and faux stitiches made with a marker. I love the creativity of my partner! I really must broaden my horizons and start experimenting with different techniques.

The ATC that I made for her today has a Halloween gnome complete with a witches hat and pumpkins. I enjoy using these multi-piece die sets and seeing them come to life as I assemble them.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 10

No trick or treater could ever be sweeter! How true is that? This little witch is so cute! The pastel background is perfect for this ATC for Day 10. The delicate lace added to the top finishes it off nicely.

The card that I created for Day 10 has a creepy ghost hanging around outside the window. The tiny pumpkin on the window sill is keeping him out. We sure don't want that ghost inside!

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 9

Cute card for today, a happy jack-o-lantern with a scaredy cat hiding behind him. My partner used a lot of embossing this year. I will have to pull out my embossing powders and heat gun again. Very subtle, silver stars on this one, not sure you can see them in the photo. I really like this ATC!

The card I sent for today has scary cat on a white picket fence. There are jack-o-lanterns on the ground in front and a witch flying past the moon. Interesting that we both had pumpkins and cats on the cards we created for Day 9.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 8

Another 'scary' clown on the ATC my partner sent for me today. What a great stamp and die set she found to use on this years' cards! Options for craft related products in Canada are so fewer than can be found in the U.S. It's always been like that but these days shopping cross border is cost prohibitive. Between the currency exchange, the shipping fees and duty charges it's just not worth it most of the time. But I digress...this is a great card highlighting my partners' colouring skills.

I tried something a bit different on the card I sent to her for Day 8. I had some white reflective tape purchased for another purpose and thought it might make cool, spooky, glow in the dark ghosts. I stuck some down on cardstock, then diecut the ghosts for this card. I have a Tim Holtz stamp set of Halloween words and phrases that I used too.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 7

I know that some people are afraid of clowns and I don't want to belittle their fears. I am not, however, and really love the scary clown jack-in-the-box ATC sent to me by my partner for day 7. It's another great stamped and coloured image. The background is two different patterned papers with some stamping and heat embossing and tiny stars. Love it!

For the card that I sent for today, you will see a stamped and diecut pumpkin on drywall tape painted black. The background is painted and stamped with a used dryer sheet on top for texture (like all my cards).

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 6

I love owls! And todays' ATC features an adorable owl perched in a tree. You cannot see in the photo but the branches are sparkly. A variety of patterned papers create a really interesting, collaged background.

The card to my partner has a frog witch on a pumpkin, broom and all. I love this die set! Sometimes he holds a broom, sometimes a wand, and who knows what will be next. I've even used this die set to make a Christmas frog with a red Santa hat complete with pom pom sitting on a big present.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 5

For Day 5, there is another Little Shop of Horrors card. My partner used paint and stencils to create the background. The man-eating plant has captured its' prey today! Not a great day for that guy. LOL

The card from me to my partner features a friendly witch offering broom rides for 25 cents. Would you take her up on the offer? I'm not sure I would. It doesn't look like the safest mode of transportation.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 4

Wow, I am in awe of my partners' colouring skills. She has just the right amount of shading and colour. Today's card is a great example. The Little House of Horrors comes alive!

The card that I made for her today was supposed to be number 6 but I guess I scanned them backwards. I'm glad I waited until she sent me a pic or I would have posted the wrong one. Here it is, a really scary ghost that I would not like haunting my house.

Halloween Howl, 2026 - Day 3

Another great card! My partner must have the co-ordinating dies to go with those new stamps she got. I can't imagine I would be able to cut around them as perfectly as the running mummy. Fussy cutting is another of my least favourite things to do. Those tiny bat diecuts are smaller than any of my dies. I must ask her where she purchased them.

Here is the card I sent to my partner for October 3rd. Tomorrow I won't have to wait for her to send my a photo of the cards I made, as I remembered to scan the remaining cards before sending them out.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 2

Today's ATC had another great background. I love the new stamps she purchased this year and I always admire someone that has the patience to colour. I get frustrated and impatient with it very quickly but I have learned to never say never. Who knows, some day you may catch me colouring too.

Here is the card that I sent to my partner for day 2 and below that, the card I sent her for Day 1.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 1

Let the fun begin! I opened my first ATC for Halloween Howl 2026. I will be posting every day this month to showcase what I received. Here is Day 1...

I love the background on this card. I will have to ask her how she created it. She then used rubber stamps and embossing powder for the bats, tree and graveyard. Those teeny, tiny ghost diecuts are fabulous. They are the perfect size for ATCs.

I forgot to scan the first three cards that I sent to my partner, so I am waiting for her to send me a photo to share here.
