Simon Says Stamp | Trick or Treat?
Trick or Treat? Halloween is not celebrated in Ukraine, but I’ve always loved this holiday whenever we were in the USA. This year, even though others here do not celebrate, I plan to do some simple decor – switch up the decorative pillows to Halloween, put out spooky Halloween glasses, and decorate our home with faux pumpkins. While it is a bit too early to decorate the house, I’m channeling my energy into Halloween cardmaking.

CARD DETAILS
I used Simon’s Jack O’Lanterns stencil and Distress Oxide inks to create a focal point for this card. So fun! I love that this stencil allows mixing various faces and basically lets you make whatever Jack O’Latern you want.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Ink blend Jack O’Lanters in Distress Oxide inks onto Simon’s 120lb cardstock using Simon’s Blending Brushes. I used the following colors: Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Ground Espresso, and Black Soot. Trim panel to 3 3/4 x 5″.
- Using Spellbinders Color Blocks Slices die cut slices from colored cardstock. I didn’t note the exact colors I used as I was using scraps on my desk. Arrange in a pattern, leave small gaps between the slices and adhere onto an A2 white top folding card base. Foam mount Jack O’Lanterns panel on top.
- White heat emboss the Trick or Treat on Black Pearlescent cardstock, cut out using a coordinating die, foam mount.
- Add a sub sentiment “I Want to Halloween With You”. I Simon’s pre-printed sentiment panel, this one has been discontinued.
- Embellish card with Silver Mix gems from Spellbinders and Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
