Cosy Halloween Autumnal Designs Are Here

Hello there

Hope all is well with you, and as promised, this week's post is full of Halloween printables, designed to be of the cosy and heartwarming kind.

Image shows a card front based on warm orange, with  an line and wash watercolour copper cauldron full of many green bubbles, and cosy pumpkins around the side as decoraiton.

Printable Cardmaking Sheet at Craftsuprint.com




The full sheet gives you a variety of embellishments and sentiments that are easy to cut out and use, and hence the option of making the same card design sound very different for each recipient. Simply change the sentiment tag for each person, and the card will have a very different feel.




For example, the "Happy Halloween," sentiment tag might be perfect for general use, or with children or grandchildren. Those who honour the wheel of the year especially may prefer, "Happy Samhain."

Or, for the friend who always jokes about their cooking (and/or who loves a joke anyway) how about adding the "An Alternative Way To Make Pumpkin Soup...," tag to their card?

If you want to add your own sentiment this sheet also has you covered, with a blank tag designed especially for it.

And if you'd like more...

If you'd just like to send a cosy and fun card, the main card sheet by itself gives you all you need.

However, if you'd like to add a matching insert (complete with an optional verse that carries on the "home and hearth" theme  from the main sheet) that's available too.

And this beautifully bright and warm pumpkin border (that, as it's composed entirely of pumpkins, might also be useful in Thanksgiving projects if you're in the USA)...

A spookier Halloween?

I know that some people actually love the spookier aspects of Halloween. (Confession: I'm a scaredy-cat). But if you love spookier things, then I also have you covered in my Craftsuprint shop (with the added bonus that the colours and fonts from each Halloween set should all interchange pretty well).

Whether you're seeking cosiness or spookiness this year though, please remember that these are downloads, so (as I type on Oct 17th 2024, anyway) there should still be plenty of time to download, make, and send these items.


Finally...

Phew! Thanks so much for reading this unintendedly-marathon-like post, down this far, and for being here.

More soon.

A Cute Halloween Cat for the Spooky Season...

Hello there, and I hope all's great with you.

Every year, around the Halloween season, I face the same dilemma. Pictures, card sheets and products for it are supposed to be spooky. And yet, "spooky," isn't my natural stamping ground, whereas "cute and whimsical," ideas come more naturally.

So am hoping that this Halloween cat can cover both bases, and be useful to you this Halloween season, whether you need him for crafting and card sheet purposes, or on some ready-made stickers and other goodies.

Once again, the wonderful Marion Kimberley-Scott has demonstrated far better than I ever could, the wonders you can make if you choose this cat as a printable card sheet (see the pictures above and below). Thanks so much, Marion (and for the permission to use your pics)..




And with that, will just wish you a happy weekend (or day, depending on when you're reading this.

More soon.
