I vowed not to get into the Halloween Hype especially over here in the UK although the shops seemed to be convincing us we should. But I don't myself I wasn't going to buy anything special for it in the way of card making, so I had to think out of the box.

Yes I did buy some fall papers these ones are Echo Park Fall is in the Air and the side border I used Simon Says Stamp Scallop Stitches. I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Ovals for my pumpkin. There are three all together and I inked round the edges to give them more depth.

Quick check to see if any of my Simon Says Stamps Halloween Stamps were still available and their Not so Spooky has this fabulous spider so he had to be used with some googly eyes. What I really got it out for was for the sentiment which I stamped the Halloween word and then cut it out using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Banners but I did cut it in two places to make it smaller and the join is under the pumpkin.

To finally finish I need a leaf which I used Simon Says Stamps Oh Happy Day stamp and die set and the Happy is from their Painted Happy Birthday die.

I love the sketch design which I will used again its from Splitcoast Stampers Card Sketch#612

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

I don't do Halloween either Debby but your pumpkins and fun googly eyed spider are great used here but are equally good for other occasions. I love the papers and the pretty scalloped border too. x

Super card, for someone who doesn't do Halloween. It's a big thing here in the U.S., so I make lots of Halloween cards.

A very gorgeous card Debby and so creative ! The same here in France, we don't do Halloween either , it is more a commercial matter than a custom dating since a long time ago ! May be they will succeed with the new generations ! Anyway, for a non "halloween" fan, you just managed to do a stunning card with all what you had ! Congrats for that and thanks for sharing !

I love looking at all the fabulous Halloween cards but rarely make them myself. I love how you've combined the Autumn theme, very nicely done.
