Spellbinders Boo Crew Halloween Cards

Hi cardmaking friends – welcome back!  Today I’m playing with Simon Hurley’s new Spooktacular release and sharing two Spellbinders Boo Crew Halloween cards.  I’m leaning into non-traditional Halloween colors – pinks, oranges, teals and lime green – and these well-designed die sets make the die-cutting a joy.  Let’s dive into the step-by-step details so you can create these cards too.

Products Used on today’s Spellbinders Boo Crew Halloween Cards.

two handmade Halloween cards created with the Spellbnders Boo Crew and Bewitched dies from Simon Hurley's Spooktacular release. One card features a black cat with big gfreen eyes with a pink witchhat, and pumpkin treat buckets on a teal spiderweb BetterPress background. The second card showcases three playful ghosts with glasses, bow ties and top hats, accented with pumpkin buckets on a pink spiderweb background framed in black

For today’s backgrounds I used my BetterPress with black and the Spiderweb Background Plate.  Although it’s an older design, it’s the perfect addition to my spooky greetings.  Simon also included a coordinating embossing folder in this release, which I’ve linked below in the product descrition.

How to create the Spellbinders Boo Crew Halloween Cards – Card #1

Start with a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Waterfall cardstock attached to the top of the BetterPress.  Ink the Spiderweb plate with black ink, position the top over it and run it through the Platinum 6 to transfer the design.  Attach this panel to the front of a top-folding A2-sized white card base.

Next, die cut all the pieces needed to create the cat, the witch hat, the pumpkin buckets, and the sentiments

TIP#1:  Before assembling, Ink blend the pink hat with Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink to add shadow and depth.

TIP #2.  The hat is made from two pieces – the smaller bottom piece goes behind the cat’s ears, while the top piece sits in front, so the ears peek through naturally.

Once all the elements are assembled, adhere them to the center of the card using foam squares to add extra dimension.

Handmade Halloween card featuring three playful die-cut ghosts from the Spellbinders Boo Crew set in Simon Hurley’s Spooktacular release. The ghosts wear top hats, glasses, and colorful bow ties, with one holding a pumpkin treat bucket. They are arranged over a pink BetterPress spiderweb background framed in black, with a “boo” sentiment in the corner.

How to create the Spellbinders Boo Crew Halloween Cards – Card #2

The first steps are the same as card one, except this time us a piece of Tutu Pink cardstock cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″, layered over a black mat measuring 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.

Next, die cut all the ghost pieces and assemble them.

TIP:  I used Fog cardstock for the little gathered sections at the bottom of the ghosts to add subtle shadow and depth to the images.

Finally, Attach the completed ghosts to the card front with foam squares for extra dimension.
