Mimi joins us today with an amazing design for Halloween! She combined Build-A-Cauldron with Book Collection to create a “spell-cial” card!


Mimi’s spooky scene features some fun and clever details along with the new Build-A-Cauldron and Book Collection! She started with Stitched Windy Backdrop cut from black canvas textured cardstock. She added some blended white pigment ink to add to the texture. You could use Lawn Fawn Yeti ink or Distress Oxide ink Picket Fence. Then she cut a piece of gray canvas cardstock for the ground. And finished the background by adding vellum Cute Cobwebs to the upper corners.

And then she prepped the Book Collection, cutting the books from white cardstock. She colored them with Copic markers and stamped spooky book titles from Purrfectly Wicked.


To create the bubbling potion in the cauldron, Mimi started with Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock. She inked it with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink, so perfect for a spooky potion. Then she tucked in some of the bats and eye of newt from Tiny Halloween. Mimi used the stitched rectangle found in the Magic Picture Changer Oven Add-On as the shelf/sentiment strip. So clever!

She created the jars using the paint jar from Art Supplies, coloring the lids to match the books. Then she used the tab die from Magic Iris Camera Pull-Tab Add-On to make a window. She backed the jars with another solid piece and added acetate to the window piece. Then she filled the labeled jars with eye of newt and bat wings. To create “frog breath” she used the coordinating die for the sparkle from Tiny Fairy Tale, cutting it from vellum. Then Mimi used additional stamps from Purrfectly Wicked to label the jars.

I love this clever card so much, Mimi! Thank you for the spooky inspiration!

Jessica’s Fangtastic Halloween Card

Jessica created an amazing last Halloween card before the trick or treating commences tomorrow!


Jessica started her remarkable design by inking an Outside In Stitched Rectangle panel with Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink. She added a Simple Stitched Hillside Border to ground the scene before attaching Giant Trick or Treat. She switched up the look of the giant die cut by cutting it again from Canned Pumpkin cardstock to cover the letters of “treat”. So clever!


Then she filled out the scene with a Fangtastic Friends bat and pumpkins from Simply Celebrate Fall and Hay There Hayrides. She found those funny faces in the Thanks a Bushel set. And then she added fun details with Tiny Halloween adding flying bats, spiders and a cute ghost on the Spooky Forest Backdrop headstone.


On the inside of the card, Jessica stamped a sentiment from Pick of the Patch with more Tiny Halloween images!

Thank you so much for sharing this “fangtastic” Halloween card, Jessica! It’s the perfect last spooky card of the season!
