Halloween Card Making Ideas - New Release - Bad to the Bone - Hello Autumn collection with Polkadoodles

Hello and happy Friday  everyone... I hope that you have had a great week and are enjoying the weather.

We've finally had a few slightly cooler days which I have to say is a relief - even sleeping at night has been a little easier so Im hoping it lasts.

I'm super excited to share my first card today using the brand new digital release by Polkadoodles called Hello Autumn.

The Hello Autumn Collection is a cute and whimsical mix of Autumn and Halloween digital craft supplies featuring adorable woodland animals, pumpkins, witches, ghosts and spooky seasonal fun. Perfect for card making, scrapbooking, Cricut and ScanNCut projects, paper crafts and printable crafts, the collection includes digital stamps, pre-coloured clipart, printable papers, scene backgrounds, toppers and 160 greetings and sentiments.


From cosy Autumn makes to cute Halloween cards, Hello Autumn is packed with everything you need for creative seasonal crafting.

Here is my first card using the collection - This is the cute Bear & Mouse in a Pumpkin Car and as soon as I saw this digital stamp I had the music Bad to the Bone running through my head - If you don't know it then google it and I apologise in advance for passing not he ear worm.  LOL

I made a decision for this new collection to use the pre-coloured images in the collection, partly because using my promarkers in the heat we have been experiencing has been a nightmare but also because I know that a lot of my crafty friends love using the pre-coloured digital images...they are perfectly coloured by Nikky too !

I die cut a shaped card from Kraft as I think this is the perfect colour of card with the entire collection and then chose a couple of the patterned papers to layer onto this card base.

I know we are all thinking of postage costs these days so I've kept the layers simple, to cut down on the weight of the finished card.

The main image was resized in Canva and then printed out a couple of times as I wanted to layer up the wheels and the furry dice.

Going with the theme of Bad to the Bone, I can imagine these two cuties driving around the town causing mayhem with their pumpkin Chopper so I decided to add a pennant style Boo banner at the back of the Chopper.  I cut the sentiment from the multi sentiment download and fastened this to a small piece of Kraft card with some gem stone brads for that touch of the biker feel.

It's a simple wooden skewer, coloured with a black brush marker and then attached to the cutout Boo banner

To finish off my card today I've added glossy accents to the pumpkin wheel caps, mouses goggles and the furry dice and scattered gold confetti around the design.

I hope that you like my projects today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
