My HCAYR #2 design team Crew Boo Trick or Treat card 1 Nov 2026

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!

who: Hello and Have a Noteworthy November 2026!!! The year is disappearing and seems to be on a treadmill that is stuck on high speed! Good grief! I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy blogger who lives in Illinois with my hubby Joe (married almost 31 years!!) and our dog Mister Bennett (aka Mister B, Ben-Ben, Benny, Buddy). 

where: HCAYR is code for Halloween Crafts All Year 'Round, a crafting challenge blog owned by online friend Deanne. 

when: HCAYR #2 will be published on November 1, 2026 and will be active for the month of November. NOTE: I'm not posting this personal blog post until sometime on Nov 2nd. 

why: HCAYR challenge blog owner Deanne restarted this specialty niche crafting blog after a hiatus of 1-2 years. I had been on the DT before and still have some Halloween theme supplies in my craft studio so I quickly decided to help again. The digi images for this card however are brand new and available through a FB group. 

what: Crew Boo Trick or Treat card

how:

1. digital images are Halloween Extra Goodies = made by Janis Lewis @ Pause Dream Enjoy through her FB group Hello Happy Things (posted in the group in early Oct 2026) = NEW

2. brown marker outlining was added to each digital image to give the edges stronger definition = Jot (outlining done before fussy cutting)

3. pastel yellow cardstock is folded on the left side; dimensions are just over 5.25" x 6" = Colorbok pastel cardstock pad

4. Pumpkin Spice (orange) mini stamp pad = Lawn Fawn (used for perimeter inking)

5. orange paper = from multicolor pack = Colorbok

6. round enamel dots in pink and orange tones = Simple Stories

7. green star, yellow star = Freckled Fawn

8. teal mini heart and aqua mini heart = Fancy Pants Designs

9. mauve puffy heart and olive green puffy heart = Hello Hobby/Walmart

10. red dual-tip marker for the stitch marks = Jot 

11. inside on the same orange paper (cut into circle), I stenciled "Have fun on 2026 Halloween"

My Pinspirational #343 DT teal and red color combo 1 Nov 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!

who: Hello! I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy blogger who has lived in Illinois during three stages of life. A handful of different villages/towns during those life stages. The first 2 stages were close together and were parent-driven. Then 23 years ago, my hubby was wanting a change of location (rural St. Charles County Missouri) and was the one to put us into north central Illinois. 

where: This blog post showcases a new design team project for Pin-spirational (owned by Deanne) with a color combo theme of teal and red. 

when: #343 begins November 1st and is open for the month.

why: I joined Deanne's design team at the end of last year to help her for 2026. Her theme this year was to do color pairings, trios or a quartet of colors and with my extensive stash, I felt that this was do-able for me without needing to do any special purchasing (unless I wanted to! wink-wink!)

what: Teal and Red = Comfy Cozy Christmas Greetings card

how:

1. white A2 folded left side card base (w/ envelope) = from a pack = Crafter's Square

2. knitted teal and white patterned paper and 4 ephemera = from Snow Pine Lodge collection = Simple Stories

3. red gel ink pen = Paper Mate's Ink Joy set (used for different highlights on the ephemera)

4. zig-zag decorative scissors = Wescott

5. tiny and small size red heart rhinestone gems = Nicole Brand Crafts

6. two small sentiments: 'here's to you' and 'sending love' stamps = Everyday Greetings tub of stamps set by Hero Arts (comes with a mini black ink pad) 

7. used a black gel ink pen = Paper Mate's Ink Joy set (to go over the stamping since they are thin font style)

5. die-cut ephemera = 3 pieces: star anise, patterned heart + pinecone w/ star anise doily
