A Perfect Time To Craft September Card Challenge | Halloween Cards | Anne Constantly-Carding

-

 


Hello everyone!  Welcome to the September 2026 A Perfect Time to Craft Card Challenge.  I am happy to announce that, after sharing my cards in the challenge, the owner of the card challenge blog asked me to be on the Design Team, and I happily accepted.  This is my first month with the team.  Each challenge lasts a month, there are always prizes to be won by that month's sponsors, and all you need to do is make a card and link it up in the challenge.  

For September, the Sponsors are Anne Constantly-Carding and Moondrea Designs on Etsy. 


For this month, I made these 4 Halloween cards using the Spooky Season Halloween Bumper Set from Anne Constantly-Carding.  This set has everything you need to make cards or other Halloween papercrafts: 5 sheets of Halloween-patterned paper, 4 sheets of card toppers, and a sheet of clipart.  

To make these cards:

I printed the card-topper and decorative pages for each image.  Each card-topper design has a full image to use as your base, and then you can fussy-cut and layer on top of the main image.  I also printed two of the patterned papers to use as base papers. 

For each of my cards, I die-cut the full image using a stitched rectangle die, layered it on a piece of black fun foam, then to my card front.   Then I fussy-cut the parts and layered them on the main image using foam dots.  Lastly, I added a sentiment to the card front. 

Because the witch image was harder to fussy-cut, I just added a sentiment to the front of the card.  

Here are my cards.  

Dracula Card

Pumpkin Card

Skeleton Card

Flying Witch Card


Now it's your turn to make a Halloween card.  It will be here before you know it.  If you do make a card, remember to link it up.  You might win a prize.  

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  If you want to see more of my work, come check all of my social media pages:

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...

QKR Stampede Anything Goes Challenge | Slimline Happy Easter Card

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...
