Sweeten Up Halloween with Tim Holtz Cupcake Toppers! Not a Card with Nina-Marie
Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you for another installment of my Not a Card feature. Halloween is right around the corner and I thought I would share a fun project that you can use to decorate some festive sweet treats. I’m using Tim Holtz products to make a set of cupcake toppers!
These colorful toppers feature glow in the dark stars for that ultra-spooky touch, made with Tim’s Hocus Pocus stencil and Glow in the Dark Grit Paste! I also used his Boo Crazy stamp set to make the vellum ghosts, and Big Frights dies to add the moon and bats. All the fun colors in the background were created by ink smooshing Distress inks and spraying on some Distress Spritz!
I put these frightfully cute toppers onto some homemade chocolate cupcakes I baked, making them a perfect Halloween treat for friends and family! Watch the video to see how easy it was to create these—they are great for making a bunch all at once too!

Happy World Card Making Day from Simon Says Stamp!
Happy World Card Making Day from Simon Says Stamp—It’s a holiday created just for all of us! A few years ago we shared this epic video, and it’s too good not to share again!
The best thing about World Card Making Day is not only making cards, but the idea that there are people all over the WORLD making cards, too. These people share our passion for creativity and happy mail. In the spirit of this connective nature and to celebrate our favorite holiday, we’ve compiled a video featuring designers from around the world. Meet your favorite designers, peer into their worlds, and hear what they love about making cards (in 8 different languages)!
How fun was that? And now we want to hear from you… tell us your name, where you live, and what YOU love about card making!
World Card Making Day was created in 2006, and the original purpose was to kick-start the holiday card making season. Chances are you make lots of cards for Christmas, but we all know that those beautiful cards don’t come together in one night. So grab your scissors and adhesives and cardstock and stamps and make some cards today! Your family can fend for themselves, right? You deserve to celebrate.
And of course you are looking for inspiration to get those Christmas cards started, so here are some beautiful projects from Caly Person, Mindy Eggen, and Joe Sysavath using some products from our STAMPtember® 2024 release!
Caly used the Big Bow and Double Plaid Cover dies, the Big Holiday Words stamp and coordinating die, and Red Earth ink cubes for this lush Christmas card.
Mindy used the Snowflake Stripes stencils and Peaceful Trees stamp set for this eye-catching holiday card.
Joe used the Berry Happy Hummingbird embossing folder and Big Holiday Words stamp and coordinating die to create this stunning Christmas design.
