On September 29th I shared a fun fold card with a pocket inside that slides out when you open it – great for holding gift cards, cash, or any other flat gift. Click here to see that card, a couple other versions of it, and to watch my tutorial video for making it.
With Halloween just a little over a couple weeks away (which of course means there is still time to purchase any needed products and whip some cards together!), I thought I’d share two more versions of this fun fold card that I created with the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper and some coordinating products from the 2018 Holiday Catalog.
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here is my first Halloween version of this fun fold card.
To get the web look in the background, I adhered four web die-cuts from the Cauldron Framelits Dies collection just under the witch. (I cut them from Black Foil Sheets scraps to get that shiny black look.) Then I added the witch – another image that I die-cut using the Cauldron Framelits from a printed sheet of the Toil & Trouble designer paper. You can also stamp and then die-cut this witch. The images in the Cauldron Bubble stamp set coordinate with the dies. But I just used the dies with the coordinating image from the designer paper. In fact there are several images in this designer paper that coordinate with the dies. Too fun! And it makes card making that much faster.
4-1/4” x 11” scored at 2” at one end & 3-1/2” at the other end
Whisper White Cardstock
7” x 3-1/2” scored at ½” at one end & 2” at the other end
Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper
piece for die-cutting the witch
4” x 1-3/4”
Black Foil Sheets:
Scraps for die-cutting four webs.
Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon:
13”
OH! Something fun that you can do on a card like this is stamp an inside image or sentiment on the front of the pocket so that it gradually appears as the card opens.
Here is the second Halloween version of this fun fold card that I created. Can you tell I am crazy about that Black Organdy Glitter Ribbon!? Just like the witch, the kitty image is die-cut from the same designer paper with a die from the same set of dies. The sentiments on both cards come from the Spooky Sweets stamp set.
Ever tie your knot or bow on the inside of your card? It is sometimes difficult from lack of space (or in this case unnecessary) to have the bow or knot on the front/outside of the card. Plus it adds a little pizzazz if you can just bring it around to the inside.
Measurements for this card…
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored at 2” at one end & 3-1/2” at the other end
Scrap for punching the Starburst circle layer.
Whisper White Cardstock
7” x 3-1/2” scored at ½” at one end & 2” at the other end
Scrap for stamping and punching the 2″ Circle piece.

We’ve always enjoyed Halloween at our house, so this past month’s Paper Pumpkin kit was a super fun one for me. I loved the cute character cut-outs and stamp set images. (Oh those spiders!!) So I got to creating right when my kit arrived in my mailbox. The bummer part was with all the other events I had going on in September it took me until today to finally get these ideas on my blog to share with you! I did participate in the blog hop last week, but I alway share so much more!
Here is what came in this past month’s September 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit, Frights & Delights.

I’m having a great time creating cards around this Slide Out Pocket fun fold lately. Today I am sharing four card ideas with this fold in my photos below, but my included video mainly focuses on the two I created with the Spirited Snowmen stamp set (shown here). So the product list and measurements in my blog post are for the snowmen cards.
I shared this card in my latest Facebook Live broadcast this past Wednesday. Then I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos of this card, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate either of the snowmen Slide Out Pocket fun fold cards.

#APaperPumpkinThing
Yay! Today is the day where a creative team of us Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators bring to you our special “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop. See what I have to share, then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the September 2018 “Frights & Delights” Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop, simply scroll down and click on the names of other participants in the hop to see other creative projects.
This kit was the perfect one for Halloween enthusiasts. The stamp images, stickers and other kit elements put together per the kit directions made 24 of these adorable treat bags. Click here to see the September 2018 kit video put out by Stampin’ Up! where you can view how to make these bags as intended.
Halloween is one of my husband’s favorite time of year. I remember before we had kids we had high hopes of decorating elaborately and hosting a grand Halloween party every year. It hasn’t happened yet. But who knows…maybe someday.
So this came to mind when I saw this kit…fun party invites! I haven’t shown this idea to my husband yet, but what do you think? Would you come if you got this invitation in the mail? 😉
If you wish to recreate this z-fold card with your kit contents, follow the measurements and directions below.
Measurements of extra products:
Whisper White Cardstock:
8-1/2 x 11 printed on from a document you set up on your computer, then cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
Basic Black Cardstock:
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
Three 4″ long strips torn on the top edge (my strips are 4″ wide x about 1″ tall)
Gorgeous Grape Cardstock:
4″ x 5-1/4″
Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used: See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
Color the white side of the silver pumpkin backing layer with the Dark Basic Black Blends marker. Then attach to pumpkin (the white side up) using Dimensions cut in half.
Add small rhinestones in the eyes. Set aside.
Layer torn strips together to create a “ground” for the cemetery.
Cut bag label at the score line and stamp images on the white side to create a tombstone look.
Attach ground and tombstone, then adhere to the Gorgeous Grape cardstock about 1″ up from the bottom.
Stamp sentiment in the bottom right corner.
Attach pumpkin with SNAIL and bat with a Dimensional.
Fold card base into a “z-fold” and attach Gorgeous Grape layer (adhesive just on the back of the top half) and the printed Whisper White layer. Then add the “spooky” sticker.
Even if you aren’t planning to host a party, this card layout is still a fun one to send to a friend. Just turn it into a Happy Halloween card or a birthday card for someone with a late October birthday.
If you do plan to decorate to get into the Halloween spirit, another idea I had was to attach the kit characters to the inside of lamp shades. How fun is this?
Notice the spider webs on the top of the lamp? I planned that!
(Just kidding. I guess I miss some spots when I clean my house. How embarrassing.)
