Tim has gone back to the vault and re-released some of his classic Halloween and Fall die sets. These are not reimagined or resized—they’re the exact same designs and dimensions as the original releases. So if you already own them, you’re all set! But if you missed out the first time around, this is your chance to grab them and complete your collection. As a collector myself, I was beyond excited to add several of these spooky favorites to my stash.
Trick Or Treat Halloween Card Details
One of the standout sets is the adorable Trick or Treat die set. I don’t know about you, but I have a soft spot for simple silhouette dies. They’re perfect for layering over fun mixed media backgrounds—and these sweet little trick-or-treaters are no exception. I was especially inspired to create a dark and moody Halloween night sky, thanks to the incredibly talented Emma Williams.
To bring that eerie night scene to life, I started with a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock (smooth side up, as always) and used the Moon Layering Stencil. I applied a touch of Pumice Stone Distress Ink around the edge of the moon mask, spritzed it with water to let the ink bleed, and dried it with my heat tool. With the moon mask back in place, I blended Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Ink around it to build the sky. A few water spritzes and a quick dry later, I was ready to move on.

Next, I added details inside the moon using the second layer of the stencil and Antique Linen Distress Ink. I finished off the moon with water splatters for added texture, dried again, and reinked the sky to deepen the color.
To create a magical starry night, I used the Hocus Pocus stencil with Gold Lunar Paste—the perfect way to add shimmer and dimension. I also stamped the spider web images from the Unraveled stamp set in the upper corners with embossing ink, then heat embossed them with white embossing powder for an extra spooky touch.
The Trick or Treaters and bats were die cut from black cardstock and adhered with black foam adhesive to give them a bit of dimension. For the sentiment, I layered two die cuts—one in white cardstock and the other in black textured cardstock, which I spritzed with Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz to give it a subtle shimmer. I offset the two slightly and popped them up with foam adhesive for extra impact
This card was an absolute joy to create. There’s something so satisfying about bringing a scene to life with simple dies and layered textures. I hope it inspires you to play with this wickedly wonderful release!
Let me know in the comments—will you be snagging any of these re-released sets? And what’s your go-to Halloween crafting vibe: spooky, sweet, or somewhere in between?
Happy haunting and happy creating!
