Halloween Haunted House Card With A Twist on Ink Smooshing | Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Fall Halloween Curation

Halloween crafting is in full swing, and today I’m sharing a Haunted House Halloween card that’s full of moody layers, texture, and spooky vibes. I pulled out the Tim Holtz Fall & Halloween Curation Stamp Set along with some of his classic stencils to create an inky layered background that sets the perfect stage for this haunted house scene.

The best part about this project is that it’s all about building depth with layers. By combining stamping, stenciling, and inky blending, I was able to create a background that feels atmospheric and slightly eerie — just right for Halloween night.

If you’re looking to try out some mixed media techniques in your cardmaking, this project is a great place to start. I walk you through each step in my video tutorial, where I share tips on blending, layering, and keeping your background from getting muddy while still packing in the detail.
