I like to make homemade Halloween cards that are more fun or cute than scary. Halloween is the time of year when ghosts, bats and pumpkins are all around us. I love making Halloween cards because of the bright colors and fun images you can use. Use up some of your stickers and left over bows from your ribbon stash.

I loved the spider border print on this Halloween paper that I found in my paper stack. Scrapbooking and card making share most of the same supplies so you can take remnants of your scrapbooking materials to make some great handmade greeting cards. If you have a spider metal craft die, you can make your own spiders and customize the spider color to coordinate with your card.
