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.
