There are many great occasions throughout the calendar year, but Halloween continues to hold a festive (and fun!) place in the hearts of many. In fact, blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu adores Halloween, and she wanted to bring this October festivity to life with a Halloween scrapbook layout — check it out!
Sachiyo’s Inspiration
Halloween is one of the things I like most about American culture. All the spooky and creative decorations, Halloween parades and trick-or-treating is awesome, but my absolute favorite part of Halloween is carving pumpkins with our friends. Kids enjoy scooping out the pumpkin guts, dads carve jack-o’-lanterns and moms enjoy chatting over a glass of wine — what’s not to love? We don’t know how Halloween will look like this year due to the pandemic, but we do know that we will be carving our jack-o’-lanterns and make spook-tacular memories with our kids!
To create this layout you will need:
- Carving Memories Theme Pack or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- 12×12 Black Solid Cardstock or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Carving Memories Laser Cut Borders or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Bundle or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Red Custom Cutting System Blade Cartridge or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Green Custom Cutting System Blade Cartridge or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- 13×13 Custom Cutting System Mat or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- 12-inch Trimmer or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- All-Purpose Scissors or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Repositionable Tape Runner or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
Step 1: Use a piece of Black Cardstock as the base.
Step 2: Fold the teal patterned paper in half to make a triangle. Fold the triangle along the 60-degree line of the 13×13 Custom Cutting System Mat. Mark both sides of the folded triangle at 1″ increment up to 6″, as shown.
Step 3: Line up the Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern with the marks, then cut with the Green Blade and then the Red Blade. Use the All-Purpose Scissors to cut if the blade doesn’t cut all the way.
Step 4: Adhere the pieces to the base, facing the orange patterned side up. Skip the narrow strips to make a spiderweb.
Step 5: Cut three strips of Black Cardstock to measure 1/8″ x 12″. Adhere to the base.
Step 6: Adhere stickers and laser cut borders, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.

This spiderweb is super cute, but I feel like I need a video or a couple more pictures between steps 2-4 to really understand how to do it!
I agree…a video would be very helpful!
FYI, I uploaded the tutorial video at my YouTube channel. Hope it helps.

How do we get from the teal paper to black paper?
I used a piece of black cardstock as the base/background.
just know when you do this, Sachiyocm is using the 12×12 mat that has angle on it from the left corner. The 13×13 mat has angles differently. If you do this,with the 13×13 mat, put the center of the triangle fold on the 3″ mark, that is at the end of the 60* angle line, and then fold.
