Who says Halloween crafting has to be strictly dark, shadowy, and pitch-black? This spooky season, I’m taking a delightful detouring route into cute-creepy pastel territory with our Elevated Embossed Halloween Collage Card from the STAMPtember® 2026 release! If you’ve ever looked at a solid piece of pastel cardstock and wondered how to make its embossed details pop with vibrant color, today’s technique is for you.

I hope you get to see this post in time to make these not-so-spooky treat bags for some Halloween cheer! They would NOT have been possible without the NEW Coordinating Dies from Simon Says Stamp for a delightful selection of Tim Holtz Halloween Stamps. My fussy-cutting fingers are considering retirement!

How about a Haunted House from Tim Holtz and Sizzix's Halloween 2025 Vault release with glowing windows for only the creepiest of Halloween cheer? Today's card features the Cracked Texture Fade Embossing Folder from the release. The Regions Beyond Stamp Set adds snippets of a crow and text, peeking out to offer a spooky sentiment. This combination gives the card a perfect touch.

This might be the easiest interactive card that you'll ever make and it's even better because of the Halloween scene!

This vibrant alcohol ink sign is a colorful and creepy decor piece filled with silhouetted bats perfect for your Halloween festivities.
