Trick or Treat? Halloween is not celebrated in Ukraine, but I’ve always loved this holiday whenever we were in the USA. This year, even though others here do not celebrate, I plan to do some simple decor – switch up the decorative pillows to Halloween, put out spooky Halloween glasses, and decorate our home with faux pumpkins. While it is a bit too early to decorate the house, I’m channeling my energy into Halloween cardmaking.

CARD DETAILS
I used Simon’s Jack O’Lanterns stencil and Distress Oxide inks to create a focal point for this card. So fun! I love that this stencil allows mixing various faces and basically lets you make whatever Jack O’Latern you want.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Ink blend Jack O’Lanters in Distress Oxide inks onto Simon’s 120lb cardstock using Simon’s Blending Brushes. I used the following colors: Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Ground Espresso, and Black Soot. Trim panel to 3 3/4 x 5″.
- Using Spellbinders Color Blocks Slices die cut slices from colored cardstock. I didn’t note the exact colors I used as I was using scraps on my desk. Arrange in a pattern, leave small gaps between the slices and adhere onto an A2 white top folding card base. Foam mount Jack O’Lanterns panel on top.
- White heat emboss the Trick or Treat on Black Pearlescent cardstock, cut out using a coordinating die, foam mount.
- Add a sub sentiment “I Want to Halloween With You”. I Simon’s pre-printed sentiment panel, this one has been discontinued.
- Embellish card with Silver Mix gems from Spellbinders and Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
