🎃✨ Looking for Halloween Scrapbooking Inspiration? Here’s a Spooky Layout You’ll Love! ✨🎃

Hello, crafty friends!


I’m excited to share a double-page scrapbook layout titled “Halloweenies - Horrified Hot Dogs Served In A Tangy Red Sauce”, created using the vibrant Halloween Spells DSP and Two Tone Cardstock from the latest Stampin’ Up! Scrapbooking Brochure. 👻



This playful yet spooky layout perfectly captures Halloween memories, bringing together fun elements of a Halloween theme with festive crafting supplies that make the design pop. Whether you’re documenting a party or a fun family night, this layout is sure to inspire your next Halloween project.


Materials Used:


While I’m still working through my cherished CTMH products, don’t worry if you don’t have these exact materials on hand! The products I’m using can easily be matched with Stampin’ Up! supplies, allowing you to recreate this layout using similar colors, textures, and tools from the current catalog. So feel free to substitute with what you have in your stash or check out my Stampin’ Up! store for alternative options.

Step 1: Visualize the Layout in Design SpaceÂŽ



I started by planning and visualizing the layout in Design Space®. This allowed me to precisely organize where each element would go and helped me cut my materials efficiently. It’s a great tool to use when you’re limited on paper or want to ensure accurate cuts for intricate designs like the cauldron and title.


Step 2: Prepare the Photo Mats


1. Double-Mat Your Photos: I used Granny Apple Green Cardstock (from the Halloween Memories Two-Toned Cardstock) to create six 3.5” x 3.5” photo mats. I then created six 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 mats in White Daisy.



2. Inking the Edges: Before attaching the mats, I inked the edges of the Granny Apple Green photo mats with Garden Green Stampin' Ink for added depth and a glowing effect. Half of the mats were made from the dark side of the Two-Toned Cardstock, and the other half used the lighter side.


3. Adhere the Mats Together: After inking, I adhered the front and back mats together to create dimensional photo frames.



Step 3: Right-Hand Page Layout


  1. For the right-hand side, I used Black Cardstock as the base. The black backdrop made the elements stand out.


2. Position the Photo Mats: Once the mats were assembled, I positioned them on the left-hand side of the black cardstock, ensuring they were evenly spaced and aligned.



3. Add Strips: Cut straight vertical strips from the Halloween Spells DSP (diagonal striped pattern in Pool Party color) and adhere them vertically on the black cardstock as shown below.



4. Potion Books Strip: In the Halloween Spells DSP, you will find a piece of patterned paper filled with stacked Potion books. You can cut at 3-inch intervals and create strips. I added a strip that will sit on top of the Pool Party colored strips. The rows of potion books mimicked the idea of stacked recipe books, enhancing the theme.



Tip: To add more depth, I ran the edges of the Pool Party-colored strips along the CTMH Lagoon Ink Pad. For a bolder contrast, I ran the book strip along the Intense Black Ink Pad.


Step 4: Left-Hand Page Layout


I’ll admit, I was feeling a little backward when I started this layout. Most people would probably begin with the left-hand side, but I was too excited about using black as my base page for the first time! I just had to see if it was going to work before moving on to the left page. 😊



1. Base Page: For the left side, I used a piece of White Daisy Cardstock as the base.


2. Add Strips: Just as I had done on the right side, I adhered a piece from the Pool Party colored paper strip along the far left edge of the page. I then added the inked Stack of Potion Books strip next to it.


3. Position the Cauldron: The Black Cardstock cauldron was placed centrally on the page, with the handles positioned about 5 1/2 inches from the top.



4. Glow Effect: Using a blending brush, I added a CTMH Limeade around the bottom of the cauldron. I also added a bit around the title to enhance a spooky effect. If you don't have the CTMH Limeade, you can use Stampin' Up! Granny Apple Green Stampin' Pad.


5. Add Title: The main title, “Halloweenies”, was placed at the top right with foam tape for dimension, while the secondary title was placed directly underneath and adhered flat to the page. Both were designed in Design Space and cut with my Cricut.


Step 5: Add the Recipe Book Embellishment


1. Assemble Recipe Book: Assemble Recipe Book: I created the recipe book using Festive Glimmer Paper, White Daisy, and Black Cardstock.


2. Stamp Sentiments: Using CTMH Intense Black Ink, I stamped the pages of the recipe book (cut from White Daisy Cardstock) with fun sentiments and a raven. These stamps are available in the Potions & Spells Bundle. I then glued the finished book to the bottom right corner of the cauldron.


Step 6: Finishing Touches


1. Bubbling Cauldron: The bubbles around the cauldron were cut from the Festive Glimmer Paper. Most were cut in the Granny Apple Green with just a few accent bubbles in Garden Green Glimmer Paper. For a 3D effect, some of the bubbles are backed with foam tape.



2. Add a Double-Matted Photo: I placed a 3 1/4” x 3 1/4” double-matted photo on top of the cauldron, positioned next to but slightly higher than the recipe book. The edges of the photo mat were inked using! Garden Green.
