Happy Halloween & final day for shaped cards at Die Cut Divas!!

Happy Halloween if you're celebrating today & sorry, no Halloween cards to share... Instead, I'm sharing inspiration for the last day of our shaped cards at Die Cut Divas October Challenge. You'll find card one on the Diva post HERE but the bonus card is only on this post.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Hero Arts glitter; My Favorite Things patterned
Stamps w/dies - Pink & Main Flurry of Fun (dies HERE) &
Dies - Pink & Main Scallop Oblong Oval Dies
Other - Copic markers

We have the wonderful Pink & Main as our sponsor this month! They will present a $25 gift card to their store to our random winner, selected from eligible October 2026 entries.




I formed a landscape oval top fold card by cutting just outside the fold. Next I cut a layer of blue snow dot paper and added it so the scallops went all the way around (fold can barely be seen on the back). Then I cut a full glitter scallop but narrowed it by cutting a second time to form a hill.

I stamped, die cut and colored the critters and snowballs. Added them to the card. Next I stamped and die cut the sentiment, a few plain layers for stacking and an undershadow layer from a scrap. Adhered it to the card & done!

The Snow Grateful set I used for the sentiment comes from the new release. When I ordered it, I ordered two other bear sets - thought they have the cutest expressions!! Pink & Main's service is incredible - I got my latest order in time to create for our final October post! Thanks Pink & Main!!

How about a bonus? I made a mini card using a peeking elf die!


Supplies: Paper - Recollections cardstock & scraps
Dies - Pink & Main Deer and Elf Peeker Dies
Other - white gel pen; Hero Arts Key Lime ink;
colored pencils

I die cut the base layer twice and scored the back to form the card. Next I cut the face and hat pieces and the hands. Assembled and added some white gel pen and colored pencil details. Quick and easy - perfect for adding to a gift! Oops - I forgot to give him hair - oh well...he's bald, I guess! Here's a side view:


That's all for today - thanks for stopping by & I hope you'll play along if you haven't maxed out at four entries. Happy crafting!!

Gorgeous shaped cards Linda. The peeking elf is adorable and love the oval card with those cute bears and penguin.
