A Clean and Simple Halloween Card for Color Hues

by Joanne James21. October 2026 10:00

Today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by a couple of challenges:

I was almost put off by the orange and black colour combo at Color Hues as I didn't really need another Halloween card (and I don't have any tigers in my stamp collection lol!), but when I saw the tag challenge over at CAS On Friday I decided a quick Halloween card might just fit the bill - take a look at what I came up with:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

Ordinarily I wouldn't go for a DSP background on a clean and simple card, but some of the CAS on Friday team had done something similar, so I decided this piece of retired Halloween Night Specialty Designer Paper would work nicely for a CAS tag with one of my favourite Halloween sentiments, from the retired 'Mingle All The Way' stamp set. I coloured in the outline letters with a Pupkin Pie Stampin' Write marker and added a diecut bat and orange harvest moon to my tag before finishing with a simple twine bow:

Super simple and a fun way to use this colour combo.

Enjoy your day; it's still raining here so I will be cracking on with indoor tasks and sneaking in some quality craft time this afternooon. I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Super cute Halloween card, Joanne! I do like that sentiment too, it's so fun. Your die cut bat and moon look great and you still have white space on your tag for the CAS mandate. I know Halloween isn't much of a thing in Britain, but we did still get a handful of trick-or-treaters when we lived there : )

Love that CAS tag! It's a great sentiment and didn't need any more that your orange moon and a flying bat! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

That tiny bat is just awesome. Even though I don't do Halloween as it's not really a thing in NZ, I'd still like that bat! While the sentiment itself is superb, I think your addition of the Pumpkin Pie makes it even better.

Such a great CAS Halloween card, Joanne! I adore that sentiment, it makes me giggle every time I see it and also kick myself for never buying it. Your addition of the bat and moon are so perfect and I do love the patterned paper in the background; it's a great contrast to the white tag. Even though you were put off by the color pairing, you rocked it and I'm so glad you chose to play along with us at Color Hues!
