Moon - Sweet Stacks: Circles Dies
Background Paper - Sweet & Spooky Paper Pad
Gems - Fall Is In The Air and Sweet & Spooky Gem Stickers
To set the spooky scene, I began by ink blending the night sky using Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot and Prize Ribbon, followed by spritzing with Distress Spritz - Uncharted Mariner to give the sky that eerie, starry texture. The moonlight was added with a circle die cut from the Sweet Stacks: Circles Dies and a layer of vellum, which diffuses the light beautifully when the card is illuminated.
To bring the card to life, I incorporated an EZ-Light - 3-Light Strand. This was easily hidden behind the vellum circle to give that perfect glowing moon effect. When you press on the pumpkin, the card lights up, making it an enchanting surprise for the recipient!
The focal point of the card is the adorable black cat, crafted with the Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies. I love how the die cuts give dimension to the cat, making it pop off the card. I paired it with a vibrant pumpkin and I added shading to using detail blending brushes.
The bat flying above adds a playful touch, while the witch's hat on the cat (cut from the Sweet & Spooky Paper Pad) and the striped background panel from the same collection add coordinating patterns and colors, tying the design together.
For a little extra sparkle, I used both the Fall Is In The Air Gem Stickers and Sweet & Spooky Gem Stickers to add some extra details to the background. I also couldn’t resist adding highlights using a White Gelly Roller Pen for that extra pop.
The sentiment, "Happy Meowloween!" from the Sweet Halloween Stamps, finishes the card on a playful note.
This light-up Halloween card was so much fun to make, and the EZ-Lights added a simple yet magical touch that brings the whole design together. Honey Bee Stamps' products make it easy to create interactive and festive cards, perfect for Halloween or any spooky season project!
If you’ve never tried making a light-up card, this project is a great place to start, and with Halloween right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to experiment with fun new techniques!

Bow, pumpkin, Sign - Seasonal Signs Dies and Stencils
Flowers - Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies
Happy - Great Greetings: Everyday Dies
Frame - Double Stitched Square Dies
Texture on sign - Woodgrain 3D Embossing Folder
Background - Fall Is In The Air Paper Pad
Embellishments - Fall Is In The Air Pearl Stickers and Gem Stickers
I began by die-cutting all the key elements from the Seasonal Signs Dies, including the circle for the wood frame, the red bow, the pumpkin, and the hanger. These pieces formed the base of my wreath, giving it structure and dimension.
Next, I moved on to inking the word "Fall" using the Seasonal Signs Stencil. After blending the ink onto the circle die-cut, I ran it through my die-cutting machine with the Woodgrain 3D Embossing Folder to create a realistic wood grain texture. To make this texture stand out even more, I blended Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink over the raised areas, giving the wood a weathered, rustic look.
To complete the wooden frame effect, I used my Scor-Pal Mini Scor-Buddy to press horizontal lines into the paper, mimicking planks of wood. With the help of a ruler and a Copic marker, I drew over these embossed lines, enhancing the realistic wood grain feel.
Once the wood frame was complete, I started building up the wreath with floral and decorative elements. The lovely sunflowers and fall leaves were cut using the Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies, which added vibrant pops of color to the design. I used various distress oxide inks to blend colors onto the die-cuts, bringing life to the florals and leaves.
The flowers are the highlight of this wreath, and I created them with the Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies. The sunflowers, with their bright yellow petals and gem-encrusted centers, were a real show-stopper. I used Fall Is In The Air Pearl Stickers and Fall Is In The Air Gem Stickers for extra sparkle and shine.
To add even more depth to the wreath, I arranged the die-cut leaves around the sunflowers and tucked in a small pumpkin die-cut at the bottom of the wreath, keeping everything cohesive and full of autumn charm.
To create the pop-up frame for my card, I first cut out the top frame using the second-largest square from the Double Stitched Square Dies, cutting it from a 5.5-inch square piece of cardstock. This would frame the wreath beautifully.
Next, I cut two pieces of cardstock measuring 5.5 inches by 2 inches and scored each piece at every half inch. I folded these pieces accordion-style to create springs, which I then attached to the back of the square top frame. These springs added the perfect pop-up dimension for the card.
For extra dimension behind the wreath, I created another pop-up spring. This piece measured 2.5 inches by 5 inches, and I scored it every half inch, three times, before folding it. I glued this piece directly behind the wreath to make it stand out even more.
Once the springs were in place, I adhered the entire top frame and wreath onto the card base, where I had already glued a piece of patterned paper from the Fall Is In The Air Paper Pad. This patterned background added a cozy, autumnal feel to complement the dimensional elements of the wreath.
To complete the design, I added some white gel pen details to enhance the die-cut elements, giving them extra highlights and depth. For added dimension and shine, I applied Glossy Accents to the "Happy" die-cut from the Great Greetings: Everyday Dies and to the pumpkin stem, making those areas pop and stand out against the rest of the design.
