Drink Up Witches Spooky Halloween Decor

Cozy up with some cider and cardstock — the Great Halloween Spooktacular is almost here! 🍂

I’m thrilled to be part of this 20-day celebration of Halloween paper crafts, and I’d love for you to join me. It’s totally free and full of spooky-fun inspiration. 🧡

✨ Grab your free ticket and get ready to create!

In my workshop, you’ll learn to craft a magical scene with two witchy silhouettes gathered around a steaming cauldron. They’re sipping a mysterious brew around the fire in this enchanting papercraft project.

Step into the shadows and join me — Emily the Explosion Box Enchantress — for a spellbinding Cricut workshop where paper meets magic!

Together, we’ll summon an otherworldly scene: two mysterious witches cloaked in silhouette, whispering secrets beside the fire’s flames, sipping a mysterious brew from their steaming cauldron.

With a swipe of your Cricut blade and a flick of your wand (ahem, scoring stylus), you’ll transform simple cardstock into a paper spell of sisterhood, sparkle, and sass.

Supplies needed:

Cricut Cutting Machine

Scoring Tool, either the scoring wheel or scoring stylus

Cricut Maker Rotary Blade (for the steam if you’re using Thai Mulberry paper)

Blue LightGrip Mat 

Brayer

Scraper to help remove the cardstock from the mat gently

Bone Folder

Beacon’s 3-in-1 Advanced Crafting Glue or Bearly Art Precision Glue

Glue and Residue Eraser (This thing is magic for removing excess glue!)

Hot Glue Gun

For the Witches:
Sirio Ultra Black Cardstock (170 lb) or Plike plastic-like cardstock (It’s very matte, so looks great for the witch silhouettes.)

For the witch stands and fire base:
Encore Textured Cardstock

Options for the fire’s flames:
Encore Glitter Paper
Ombre Wax Lips Cardstock
Matte Lava Holographic Cardstock in Red Lava

For the Cauldron:
Sirio Pearlescent Cardstock (such as Coal Mine or Fusion Bronze colors)

For the Steam:
Thai Mulberry Paper or Vellum
