Dia daoibh!
You know those random Halloween die cuts that linger on the craft table long after the sweets are gone and the decorations are packed away? Well, I finally tackled mine. Among them was this wee spidey, one of a few Spellbinders die cuts I received as a gift, and he’d been staring at me accusingly for weeks. I paired him with a Spellbinders stamp sentiment, and it turned out both cute and slightly creepy at the same time.
The spider is layered and attached to a wobbler so it actually wobbles when you touch it. Pretty cute but strangely unsettling, like something you’d expect to see skitter past your feet at 2 a.m. The sentiment is stamped with StazOn, and I added a touch of glitter and a few Nuvo enamel drops for sparkle and texture. Bold stripes, cheeky spider, mission accomplished. This is officially the last Halloween card for the stash until next year, or so I tell myself.

And on a funny note, I left the finished card on the table, and my son nearly dropped his tea when the spider started wobbling. He jumped, shouted, and declared I was never to leave “moving insects” lying around again. I’ve never been prouder of my crafting skills.

Your wobbly spider with his half-dozen eyes is super cute!
Spidey is definitely creepy but it's the top hat that keeps him from being totally unsettling - love it! Thanks for sharing with us at CC&S
Great Halloween card, love the striped banner and I think the spider looks cute in his top hat-mind you as long as he is on your card and not in my house lol although I do not kill them -catch them in a glass and dispose of them outside-your poor son mind you I did laugh.

I only went away for 2 days and I see I have missed several posts. Anyway, I have updated myself now and admired your makes and agree with you about those so called chocolates. They are nothing of the sort. We should all stop buying them in protest. That's my humble opinion anyway. Your spider is wearing such a cool hat and those bold stripes make an excellent background. I love the wreath from yesterday too xx
How can a spider with that many eyes look so much fun. This is brilliant. Thanks for joining us at Cardz4guyz. Love Dawn x
I love this very fun card! You found a perfect way to set off your spidey! Thanks for participating with us here at TOB during our first month past Halloween 2025.
