Handmade Halloween Crafts: Cards, Tags, and Scrapbook Ideas

With Halloween right around the corner, ideas for handmade Halloween crafts are bubbling over like our favorite witch’s brew! Scroll along as we stir up eerily creative ideas for easy Halloween crafts like handmade cards, Halloween gift tags, and Halloween scrapbook pages that capture both your spooky side and sweetest memories!

Crafting Halloween Cards That Feel Like A Treat

Handmade Halloween cards are always a great way to treat someone during the spooky season. That creative and personal touch is appreciated year-round, and Halloween is no exception!

One simple way to create unexpectedly seasonal sentiments is to make stamps from any set fit the Halloween theme! Try using owls, cats, candy, spiders, or even flowers (but cleverly stamped in black) combined with just the right phrasing to turn your existing crafting supplies into an easy Halloween craft.

Halloween is a holiday full of layers and depth, so why not apply the same concept to your Halloween cards? Add extra layers to your card design using dies, fun embossing techniques, decorative stickers, and more!

This easy DIY Halloween card features pumpkins, bird, and a cute barn.

Finally, tap into Halloween’s sweeter side by using stamp and paper designs made specifically for the holiday but with a surprisingly charming twist to your Halloween card.

Halloween Tags for Treats, Gifts, and More

Getting ready to whip up a batch of homemade treats for friends and family? Add an extra personal touch with Halloween tags for your pre-packaged gifts and treats.

We love the use of colored and patterned ribbons and strings that add extra movement and dimension to this spooky Halloween tag!

Or how about using a simpler paper design to help your crescent moon POP?! Add a “trick or treat” message along with bat silhouettes, and you’ve got a tag that absolutely OOZES Halloween.

Want to add an extra touch to the goodies you’ve been brewing? A tag featuring a glittering, bubbling cauldron is just the thing.

You could even make your own treat bags! Check your crafting supplies and use some of your spooky supplies from years past. These projects were made with some of our old favorites that are no longer available. If you missed your chance to get them, substitute them with some of our current projects to create something similar. And any way you look at it, all Halloween treats are going to taste better when packaged with this kind of creativity and care!

Halloween Scrapbook Ideas: Keeping Your Sweetest Memories

For how much work goes into the costumes, it only makes sense to preserve our favorite Halloween moments in the pages of a scrapbook! Plus, it extends the fun and makes for years of sharing such sweet memories.

When designing your own Halloween scrapbook pages this year, why not incorporate your own little peek-a-BOO moment? Place your favorite photo behind a paper door for a little surprise!

Another great idea is to put your photos on full display with plenty of room for journaling the best moments of the night. And don’t forget to highlight the action shots!

Another thing we love is going all in on a theme. Whether it’s based on this year’s costume lineup, favorite treats, or anything else you love about fall holiday fun, more can definitely be more! Layer on the die cuts, ribbons, and stamps for a little bit of spooky chaos—accompanied by the best photos from your celebration, of course!
