Today, we are brewing up some spooky creativity with three fun, interactive Halloween cards that feature movement, dimension and plenty of charm! From interactive flip folds and shaker windows filled with spooky sprinkles to delightful gatefold reveals, these cards are perfect for sending extra festive Halloween greetings to friends and family. All of this and more using the 2026 October Card, Tag and More Kit from Tres Jolie.
I have the step by step down below for you and as always the video tutorial for you to view. Thanks for joining me.
To create the shaker I used the frame and the witch from the ephemera packet and then I used the background cut from the cut a-part Post Card sheet from the pattern paper pack. I cut acetate and glued behind the frame, added some then foam tape and shaker bits from my stash.
I used a regular A2 card covered the front using the pattern paper from the Graphic 45 paper pack. I adhered the shaker to front of the card and then added the embellishments around the card from the ephemera packet.
Here is the finished card. I really love how this turned out. Using the various colors of shaker bits added a nice contrast of color.
Card 2
For this fun pullout popup card - Cut 1 pc of cardstock at 6 1/4 x 4; Score at 2 3/4 inches
Cut 1 pc of cardstock at 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches; With the cardstock payer at 7 1/2 inches Score at 3 1/8 inches; Turn to the 5 1/2 inch side, Score at 3/8 & 1/2 on both ends.

Now you can paper the front of your cards.

Next cut a piece of cardstock 2x2 and Score at 3/8 inches on both ends.
Next on one side where we just scored 3/8 inch place some glue on that small flap.
Adhere the small flap with the straight edge to the fold of the small card that will fit inside the larger piece. ******************For More Details View Video Tutorial**************
Now you have the the other small flap facing up toward you with the small fold facing away from you, once you add glue to the flap, fold the larger flap above down on top matching up the edge of the large flap and the little mechanism. (View bottom photo)
******************For More Details View Video Tutorial**************
Here is the larger flap lining up with the edge of the little mechanism, be sure to burnish down the middle part so the small flap with adhere to the large flap from the inside.
Here is the finished Card. I added some of the ephemera from the die cut pack and stickers as well. I painted the chipboard ghost with white gesso and then added white paint. I then took some white flock and placed it on top, let dry, inked black memento ink around the edges. I used a black marker or the eyes and mouth and some pink ink to create the little pink cheeks. I used the orange corner stickers as a pull down mechanism.
Card 3
For the last card you will need 3 pieces cut at 4x6 inches. Place one to the side and score the other two pieces at 1 1/2 and 3 do this for two pieces.
Here is what the two pieces should look like.
Next place glue/adhesive on the end flap, not the large once.
Adhere these flaps down on the edge of the piece we placed aside. Down below I am burnishing down the small scored end to the edge of the 4x6 card that was not scored.
You will do this for for both ends. Below is what your card should look like opened.
Next I did the same steps to this chipboard ghost just like I did the one above on the previous card. For this ghost I placed some glue to back of the ghost on side only, the left side, then I placed it down to the left side flap only. So when you pull the flaps apart the ghost will be pulled to one side
Here is what the card looks like once it opens up with the flaps extended.
Here are all the wonderful Fun & Spooky Halloween Cards created using this fun 2026 October Card, Tag and More Kit from Tres Jolie. I hope you enjoyed the cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

In this tutorial, we are creating a layered wooden Halloween "WELCOME" sign featuring intricate cut spiderwebs, with dimensional lettering and a cute metallic purple spider using the 2026 Mixed Media Kit. I added in some scattered crystal gems and used stickles to give an enchanting finish that catches the light beautifully. This is a perfect piece to add to your front porch, entryway, or seasonal wall decor. I have all the details below as well as the video tutorial.
2026 Mixed Media Kit
To start I used the CP Orange Shimmer and used it to paint in the word "WELCOME". I let it dry in between layers.
Then I used Stencil Butter Orchid by TCW to paint the spider purple. I took a little bit from the jar sprayed a bit of water to make it wet and mixed then painted.
For the spider web I used the Tacky-when Dry applied it to the wooden webs let dry til it feels tacky
Once the glue feels tacky place the foil down with the black side up and then rub on. You can use your fingers or a scraper.
Once you see the outline and the foil moves a bit you can peel back to see if the spider web is all coated with the black foil transfer.
Next I use the Black Tie Stencil Butter to paint the outer edge of the wooden sign.
Once it's dry apply glue to the backside edges, and place down.
Here is the finished "WELCOME" sign. From my stash I added some stickles on top of the spider webs to give a bit glimmer and then I added some small crystal accents with some glue to add that extra touch of magic.

Today we'll embellish this gorgeous, vintage-inspired mini album featuring the 2026 September Card, Tag and More Kit from Tres Jolie. I will be using the beautifully floral papers, delicate lace appliques, and how to layer the die cuts to create the end result you'll love to add your photos inside this one of a kind Elegant Mini Album. I also have some fun techniques in store for you.
For some of the pages inside this mini album I did use an xacto knife to create pockets using the pattern paper.
***please watch video***
For the first page I selected this pattern with the column down the front.
Turn this paper over and add adhesive tape along the edges, as shown below.
Next turn over and with a mat and xacto knife cut a slit from the tapes edge (feel the underside of the tape) and cut to the inner edge to the bottom. Do this for both sides of that column. Once your done you will have a Belly Band to place photo mats underneath. ***please watch video***
Here is a photo of the belly band and photo mats placed inside.
Next is a photo of the another pattern paper where used the xacto knife again to create a large pocket. Simple place the double back tape along the edges of the pattern paper as we did in the above photo, turn over cut a slit from edge to edge and only glue down the top part of the pattern paper.
***please watch video***
The page to the right is decorated using the die cuts and have two 4x4 photo mats adhered down.
Here is the back of the album, where I created the same belly band as the front inside cover of the album.
In this photo I created another pocket but this is a side pocket using the same technique with the xacto knife. It fits 4 x 6 inch photo mats perfectly.
The page down below is a truly fun page to create, you can definitely used scraps. I used a 1 1/2 inch strip cut it at an angle using the page as a guide. I adhered down the ends only, then used the small triangle piece and placed it up in the left hand corner as a little tuck as well. You can fit the photo mats thru the opening of the slanted piece you adhered down.
***please watch video***
These next two pages below are a mirror of one another, however the flaps are placed differently. One flap folds down (left side) and the other flap folds upward (right side). I just love how they bother turned out. ***please watch video***
Here is the front of the finished album.

Then fold back and forth ***please watch video***this creates the hinge and we adhere the valley's of the paper to create the hinge to hold the pages.
Cut two pcs 8 1/4 x 5 7/8 inches to cover the front and back inside of the album.
Pages - Cut 4 pcs of cardstock - 6 x8 inches
Cut 4 pcs of cardstock - 7 x 8 inches; Score 1/2 inches with the 7 inches laying across the top of the scoreboard.
Fold in the scored flaps and adhere down the 6x8 inch piece to the 1/2 inch flaps. This creates your pages. You will have openings on both ends. One side will attach to the hinge and the other side will hold a photo mat insert. ***please watch video***
