Halloween FREEBIE from KCS Designs by Kim

Hi guys, I'm up on the Blogger with a cute Halloween Art Journal page and a FREEBIE from KCS Designs by Kim.

I had so much fun making this art journal page and I loved playing with all of the distressed oxides and stencils with this one.  I even used a FREE printable from KCS Designs by Kim (click here) for these fun Halloween words, or here to check out all of her other designs in her Etsy shop.  This download has all the colorful Halloween colors and words and is so easy to print out so you can have all the fun spooky words for all your Halloween cards and art pages or layouts!

For this page I used:

• Distressed Oxides in: Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Violet, Twisted Citron, Carved Pumpkin and Blueprint sketch
• Vicki Boutin's Color wheel in the Reds/oranges and the Blue/Greens
• Stencil from Whimsy Studios - Beaded Curtain Stencil (retired)
• Star Stencil from Scrapbook. com
• The Halloween words from KCS Designs By Kim
• The Fairy Witch from a Quirky Fairy Clipart on Etsy

I had the miscellaneous ephemera pieces from an Amazon order...I love how I made her look like she is walking out of the door to get into some Halloween mischief. 

I hope I was able to inspire you to get into your crafty space and make something that makes you happy, and don't forget to click the link and get the free download for your Halloween craft needs.

Stay crafty

Halloween treat bag tag

Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger with a fun mixed media Halloween treat bag tag featuring KCS Designs by Kim. This is part of her new Fall/Halloween Collection, I will leave links below on all the stuff I used.

How CUTE is this little witch??? This Peculiar Halloween Society Surreal Characters collection is so GOOD!

I sized her to fit on this tiny treat bag that I made into a tag, I don't think she was much bigger than 3". I printed the image out and fussy cut it. I set her aside and I used a spiderweb stencil to do the background. I added the black cat, the material buttons and the word ABRACADABRA, because doesn't she just look like she would put a spell on you! 

I also pulled out this stamp (love the fancy bracketed frame around the sentiment) and I stamped it and heat embossed it in fine gold and adhered it to the bag along with the image and buttons. I punched a hole in the top to make a tag, added the ric rack ribbon and the hole enforcer and called it done!

• Image of Girl with halloween dress -  Peculiar Halloween Society Surreal Characters
• Ink - Black Soot distressed ink from Tim Holtz
• Happy Haunting Stamp - Prima Marketing, Juliet Nutting Witchy Poo stamp set 
• Embossing Powder in Fine Gold - WOW Embossing 
• Spiderweb stencil - Carta Bella (retired)
• ABRACADABRA sentiment - GOOSEBUMPS Collection from Pretty Little Studio
• Black rubber cat - from my stash
• Felt Buttons - Joanne's (that's how long I had them and was so happy to finally use them up)

I hope I inspired you to get into your crafty space and make some cute Halloween tags for this season or a goodie bag for a Halloween Party.

Thanks for hanging out with me,

Halloween Tag - Happy Haunting

Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger with a fun mixed media Halloween tag featuring KCS Designs by Kim.  This is part of her new Fall/Halloween Collection and I will leave links below on all the stuff I used.

I was in a messy mood and I have really been in a Halloween mood lately as well, so this was so fun to work on!

I started out with a tag I cut out using my Joy2 from Cricut (appx. 6x4").  I added some distressed sprays, let them dry and then came in with a stencil and some modeling paste.  I love how the modeling paste soaks up the colors from the sprays. 

While letting that dry I printed out both of the images from KCS Designs by Kim onto some rice paper and fussy cut them.  After the modeling paste dried I added the background with some rice paper glue, let that set and dry and then added the spiderweb and the wired gold glitter ribbon.  I added the image of the girl up on some foam tape and adhered her down...I mean how cute is that Halloween dress!

I reached into my stamps and found this HAPPY HAUNTING stamp from Prima Marketing that I thought was perfect.  I stamped and fussy gut it, popped it up on some foam tape, added the black ribbon to the top of the tag and called it done!

• Background paper - Autumn Lingers 
• Image of Girl with halloween dress - Peculiar Halloween Society Clip Art
• Distress sprays - Tim Holtz in Ground Espresso,  Frayed Burlap
• Modeling paste (from Amazon)
• Tiny spiderweb die (retired)
• Wired gold glitter ribbon (from Hobby Lobby)

I hope I inspired you to get into your crafty space and make some cool, scary and/or cute Halloween projects!

Thanks for hanging out with me,

Halloween Art Journal Page - Haunted 31 - KCS Designs Instagram Hop!

Hey guys I'm on the Blogger as part of the Design Team for KCS Designs by Kim, we are up on Instagram with a Hop and a chance to win a $25 gift card from her shop!  The hop is on September 23, 2026 starting at 8:am.  So come join us, let us know what collection you like the best and have a chance to win a gift card! Here is a link to my IG so you can hop along with us!

Today I am starting with another art journal page with lots of dimension, using a couple of Halloween collections.  The first one I used was from her HARVEST LANE PAPERS.  These background papers are perfect for a fall or halloween themed card or art journal page don't you think?

I then downloaded her CUTE HALLOWEEN GHOST collection.  These paired so perfectly with the background papers! I put the background papers in my PAGES and sized it to what I needed and then added the PNG file from the CUTE HALLOWEEN GHOST and sized it and arranged it down on the left corner by the pumpkins that were in the paper.

I really didn't have to do much after printing it, I added a spider web with a stencil and a light hand, stamped the clear bats and the smaller black bats that are flying upwards (she did have one bat on the background paper so those really went well with it).  I also added one more bigger bat from my stash.  

I found this scary tree that I had in my box of goodies for-EVER so when I saw that it was perfect for this page I grabbed it, cut it in half and put one on each side.  I found the numbers "31" that was Halloween themed and wanted to put that in the bottom right corner to balance the page.  

The last of the Halloween goodies I pulled where those cute spiders with googly eyes...EEEK! They were perfect for what I wanted to do to the outside to frame the page.  I also used my 2" hole punch and made a moon, shading it with some GATHERED TWIGS distressed oxides.

Before putting it all together I glued the background paper (with the cute PNG ghost) to a page in my book.  I then put a self healing mat on top and used the previous blank page of the book to add some distressed oxides in DUSTY CONCORD, SEEDLESS PRESERVE, GATHERED TWIGS, BLACK SOOT and then I took a cutting tool and cut the middle out of it and proceeded to tear it.  Then I used the same spider web stencil with some VERSAMARK ink and some HERO ARTS embossing powder in BLACK.  I LOVED how that turned out. 

 

I then put foam tape behind that and taped it down to my background paper.  I adhered all the Halloween goodies to the page and added the spiders and bling and then called it DONE!  I am not mad at it!

Thanks so much for hanging out with me today and I hope you head over to this month's KCS Design's Instagram Hop and get inspired!
