Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year to create cards! With all the spooky, cute, and downright eerie themes, I’ve found endless inspiration for Halloween cards. This year, I went all out and designed 42 Halloween card ideas that I can’t wait to share with you. Whether you’re into classic haunted scenes, playful pumpkins, or intricate die cuts, there’s a little something for everyone in this collection. And because Halloween cards give us permission to go a little bolder and experiment with colors, textures, and themes, I’ve really embraced some unexpected combinations that I think you’ll love!
Halloween Card Parade:
A Look Behind the Scenes
When I started crafting these cards, I honestly didn’t set out to make 42! But as I was digging through my stash—playing around with stencils, distress inks, and embossing powders—I kept finding fresh ways to bring each spooky character and background to life. One thing that helped was experimenting with various textures; I used mica stains for a bit of shine, layered vellum for that ethereal touch, and even some gritty pastes to add that “cemetery dirt” effect. There’s something truly magical about how each product adds a different dimension to the card, and Halloween is just the perfect excuse to push those creative boundaries!
Pro Tip: If you’re working on a big batch of cards, try grouping similar techniques and colors together for a more cohesive feel and to save time on cleanup. I found that creating in stages (inking, then stamping, then die-cutting) made the process smoother and kept the creativity flowing.
