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.
