Halloween is just around the corner, and I couldn’t resist creating a playful card that mixes spooky vibes with a touch of cuteness. This one features a haunted house, glowing moon, and of course, the Official Candy Inspector—a sweet little critter ready for trick-or-treating!

Want to see this card come together step-by-step? You can watch the full video tutorial now on the Kat Scrappiness YouTube channel!

I wanted this card to have a mix of eerie elements and cheerful details, perfect for Halloween. The haunted house is bold and dramatic in black, with glowing yellow windows that look lit from within. I blended the background with green to dark tones to give it that spooky night-sky feel. A large moon and a few flying bats finish off the background scene.

To balance out the spookiness, I added an adorable critter dressed as a witch, holding a jack-o-lantern candy bucket. He’s ready to check out all the sweets and keep Halloween fun instead of too scary!

Key Details

Background: Ink blended in shades of green fading into darker tones for depth.
Haunted House: Die cut in solid black with glowing yellow windows tucked behind.
Moon & Bats: The big yellow moon adds a strong focal point, with bats flying around for movement.
Candy Inspector: A cute critter wearing a witch hat, holding a pumpkin candy bucket. This ties in the sentiment and adds personality.

Sentiments:
- “Official Candy Inspector” – playful and fun
- “That’s Witchful Thinking” & “Happy Halloween” – stamped in bold black for a festive finish

Final Touches

The entire scene is framed with a stitched rectangle border as part of the die for a clean, finished look. The bright pops of yellow against the darker background really bring this card to life, and the cute critter makes it a card that’s fun for kids and adults alike.

This card is perfect for sending Halloween cheer or even gifting along with some candy. Because after all, every Halloween needs an Official Candy Inspector! 🎃🖤
