Fun Fold Dreamy Scene with the October 2025 SheetLoad of Cards

It’s the second of the month, which means it’s time for the October 2025 SheetLoad of Cards hop with the creative team. If you’re new to SheetLoad, make sure to head over to Call Me Crafty Al’s channel to see her video and grab your copy of this month’s sketch. I always love seeing how everyone puts their own spin on the design, and I couldn’t wait to play along.

For my take, I created the fun fold card base that really lets the patterned paper shine. I used a galaxy print for the center panel and paired it with green watercolor cardstock on the sides. The fold itself is simple but creates such a striking front panel where I added my stamped and colored images. I followed the sketch inspiration but shifted things slightly to build a little night-sky scene with a moon, critters on a cloud, and an adorable bluebird.

To finish things off, I splattered my panels with Distress Ink and added gold watercolor for some sparkle. I made one baby card version with a sweet “Welcome Little One” sentiment and kept the rest more versatile so they can work for encouragement, hello, or just because. You can see the full process in my video below, plus a look at the whole set once they were all finished.

A Glittery Wreath for Trinity Stamps’ Holiday Release

I’m so excited you’re here because Trinity Stamps has officially released their Holiday 2025 collection! For today’s project, I’m sharing a festive wreath card I created with the brand new Holiday Wreath Circle Card Add-On die set and the Large Christmas Sentiment die. These are gorgeous dies that pair beautifully together, and I couldn’t wait to play with them. I had so much fun inking, splattering, and layering to bring my wreath to life. I kept to a traditional red-and-green palette but added in plenty of shimmer, shine, and sparkle for that holiday magic.

If you’d like to see the full process, I’ve got a process video embedded below where I walk through exactly how I put this card together. The main steps include inking and splattering the wreath layers, adding a big glittery bow, and finishing with a bold die cut sentiment. I popped everything up on an arched card base to make it look like a wreath hanging on a door, and added Trinity’s Sparkle Spots for the perfect finishing touch. Scroll down to watch the video and check out the full supply list if you want to recreate this design for your own holiday crafting!

Spooky Splatter Halloween Card with Tim Holtz

Thanks for joining me in my craft room for today’s Halloween card. I’m sharing this a day early because of a special release tomorrow, but I didn't want to miss sharing a spooky project. For this card, I created a bold and splattered background using Distress Oxides, Sprays, Spritz, and watercolors—all layered together for a moody purple and black backdrop that shines when it hits the light.

Once my background was dry, I stamped and heat-embossed some ghostly images and sentiments, then fussy cut them before layering everything onto a die cut panel of black cardstock from Cardstock Warehouse. Foam adhesive helped give my ghost and “BOO” sentiment a little extra dimension, and I finished it off with a top-folding A2 card base. You can see all the inky splatter details in my video tutorial below!

Emergency Card Kit Fun: Here for the Boos

Today I’m sharing a playful Halloween card I created using one of the printables from Sassy’s LLC Emergency Card Kit 13. I started by die cutting the Chevron Pierced Plate die from Pretty Pink Posh out of black cardstock and attaching it to my A2 card base. For the panel, I layered lavender cardstock with black sparkle strips topped with Monster Mash patterned paper from Social Paper Plan. I did my best to line everything up evenly before attaching the panel to the front of my card base.

To finish the design, I brought in a mix of fun die cuts. I used the Trinity Stamps Emergency Card Essentials set to cut a scalloped border and a stitched circle, then layered on a sweet little ghost from Spellbinders’ Craftoween box (with a pink pearlescent vellum shadow for extra shine!). I printed the “I’m here for the boos!” sentiment from the Emergency Card Kit, punched it into a circle, and placed it in the center of my green die cut. Everything got layered together, and I finished it off with a few amethyst rhinestones for a little sparkle. This card was such a blast to make—and it’s the perfect mix of spooky and sassy!

Sassy Saturday: Nuts About You Box Card

Hi friends, it’s Lauren! Welcome back to another Sassy Saturday here on the blog. Today I’m sharing a fun box card I created with The Sassy Club’s Nuts About You stamp set and their Sassy Box Card die. I started by stamping my characters in Onyx Black ink and coloring them with OLO markers before fussy cutting them out. For the box itself, I die cut the base from dark blue cardstock and layered in the stitched panels with a bold red-and-yellow striped pattern from the Tooney Town paper pad. After assembling the box, I added my characters so they look like they’re springing right into action.

To finish things off, I die cut two “R” letters with the XL Classic Alpha dies and popped them up on the back with thin foam adhesive. On the front, I stamped the sentiment “You’re my favorite nut” on a banner cut from the Mini Slimline Stitched Layers dies and attached it front and center. For the back, I added a white stitched panel stamped with the sentiment “I’ll always come to your rescue.” I love how this little box card turned out—it totally gives me nostalgic vibes of a team always ready to swoop in and save the day.

Because You Matter - A New Release from Miss Ink Stamps

Today I’m sharing a brand new release from Miss Ink Stamps, and I had so much fun making this card inspired by Albert Einstein. For this design, I paired the Math Class background with the It’s All Relative stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment “Because you matter” on the chalkboard, added a messy little scientist’s desk, and layered everything over stamped cardstock panels for extra texture.

I love how these images come together to create a playful, science-inspired card. In my video, I walk you through coloring, embossing, and layering the background so everything pops. Be sure to check it out below for the full process and a closer look at this fun new release from Miss Ink Stamps.

Eww! No Boys Allowed! Fandom Card with Miss Ink Stamps

For today’s project, I created a playful card using some of my favorite stamps and dies from the Miss Ink Stamps Magical Collection. I combined the large troll image with the little witch to capture a scene that feels both whimsical and just a little chaotic. To start, I stamped a newspaper-style background in sand ink onto kraft cardstock and then blended the edges with Distress Ink for a rustic look. I added splatters of darker brown and white ink for extra texture and finished the background with golden lightning bolts sprayed through a stencil for a subtle shimmer. I then layered a double-cut scalloped frame from vanilla cardstock for dimension before moving on to the details.

For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Eww!” with alphabet dies, layering multiple cuts for stability, then stamped “No boys allowed!” directly onto the card panel. After coloring the troll and witch with markers and die cutting them, I popped them up with foam adhesive on opposite corners of the frame. A few highlights with a white gel pen brought everything to life, especially on the troll’s textured skin. Finally, I mounted the finished panel onto an A2 base, creating a scene full of humor, sparkle, and just the right amount of magical mischief.
