Years ago, if someone had told me I’d find more
joy in sending Halloween cards than Christmas ones, I wouldn’t have believed
them. Yet, here I am, completely hooked! Halloween card design comes with far
less pressure. Unlike the intense holiday rush in late December, late October
feels refreshingly relaxed, giving me more creative freedom. Plus, recipients
seem to cherish these spooky cards more than Christmas ones, which often get
lost in the holiday shuffle..PNG) For my 2025 Halloween cards, I’m thrilled to share a design inspired by the
eerie yet captivating Capuchin Catacombs in Palermo, Sicily. As a fan of
graveyards, crypts, and catacombs, I was disappointed that I was not able to
visit this site during my Italy trip, but its haunting imagery makes the perfect
card cover.

I had a blast decorating the envelopes with five unique Tim
Holtz stamp sets, paired with his striking ink products..PNG) I’m so passionate about crafting these cards that I’ve already planned themes
for the next three years! I hope you’re as excited for Halloween as I am—here’s
to a spooky, creative season!

I haven’t blogged about all of the Halloween
cards that I’ve made over the years, but I have about these two. If you’re interested just click on the highlighted links below.

So fun! I am mulling over sending out a card this year...maybe for Thanksgiving.
That's so cool! I've never heard of or received a Halloween card. We actually stopped sending Christmas cards when the kids were in high school. I don't even receive very many anymore. People seem to send holiday photo texts or do FB posts. I miss cards. You've inspired me to send some this season.
Kim, I am an old-fashioned kind of girl. I still write letters, I still send postcards and note cards, and I love designing special cards for holidays. I already have next year‘s Halloween card planned.
So creative and fun! Wonderful!
