Stampin' Up! Frightfully Fun Halloween Fun Fold Cards + 9 Bonus Ideas

Happy Halloween!! This year's "Fright Night" is just three days away and I wanted to make sure to share these last minute card ideas to inspire your Halloween crafting! But look beyond the theme and you are sure to be inspired to create fun folds and use these easy card layouts for more than just ghosts and bats! Leave a comment and let me know which one is your favorite!

The first card is an Extended Z Fold Card. I was inspired by a card I received from Sandi Coy-Emery. It's perfect for using a 6" x 6" piece of designer paper that creates a scene (like the Sunset Coast paper)! Here is the Halloween version that I designed and shared for a Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie video.

Extended Z Fold Card Measurements: 

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Basic Black Cardstock, scored at 1-1/2" and 4-1/4" 
• 5-1/4" x 6" Frightfully Fun Designer Paper, cut into three segments: 2-3/4", 1-1/8", and 2-1/8" 
• 1-7/8" Very Vanilla Cardstock (inside) 
• 1-1/4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla Cardstock (embossed) 
• Very Vanilla Cardstock to stamp & cut out ghosts 
• 2-1/2" x 3" Pumpkin Pie Cardstock (to punch label)

Watch this past episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie to learn how to make this card:

Here's another fun fold Halloween card that I created with the Frightfully Fun Suite! It's a Gate Fold Shutter Card!

First up -- because it's timely -- the Easter Joy Suite from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. I love the bright colors in this fun specialty paper. I used bright colors: Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Shy Shamrock, and Daffodil Delight for these first two cards.

Watch the replay of my 12 Days of Christmas video from December to see how I incorporated vellum layers on these cards:

I designed this Pop-Up Diorama Card for a Sunday Stamping Video. Be sure to watch the video below to learn how to create this card and to see another color variation (using blue instead of yellow).

• Peel off the Tear & Tape liner and fold the card front flat to glue the tab inside the card front.

My last card using the Easter Joy Suite is a "This or That" -- I couldn't decide if I preferred the Peach Pie or Pretty in Pink card base. Which one do you like best? Leave a comment and let me know!
