    🎃 A Spooky-Cute Trick-or-Treat Card

    September 30, 2025 /

    Halloween crafting is in full swing here at Celestial Wolf Paper Crafts, and I’m so excited to share this fun card I made with the Fright Night Bundle and Spooky Sweet Designer Series Paper. This little mummy hippo absolutely steals the show! 🍬 I love how it pairs with the glowing yellow porch and classic Halloween elements. The playful mix of Petunia Pop, Basic Black, and Pumpkin Pie gives the whole card a cheerful yet slightly spooky vibe—perfect for sending Halloween greetings. ✨Design Details Front of the Card:I used the Spooky Sweet DSP as the background, which made the perfect haunted-house porch scene. The hippo, dressed up as a mummy, is…

    Spooky Sweet Handmade Halloween Banner 🎃🦇

    September 11, 2025 /

    Halloween crafting is in full swing, and I couldn’t resist creating this cheerful and spooky banner using the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Sweet Suite Collection. A Blend of Cute and Creepy Each banner piece is layered with bold black lettering against a glowing sunset ombré background of Pumpkin Pie, Petunia Pop, and Daffodil Delight. The playful bats, tiny purple and black stars, and little Halloween accents (like brooms and candy corn) bring the whole piece to life. I especially love how the letters stand out — “SPOOKY” really pops when paired with the bat details and festive shapes. Plus, the small touches, like the “Happy Halloween” sign and the costumed critter…

    No Tricks, All Treats – A Handmade Halloween Card

    September 9, 2025 /

    Halloween is the perfect season to get a little playful with paper crafting — and this card does just that! Using the Spooky Sweet Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up!, I created a cheerful card that captures the fun side of Halloween with bright colors, festive patterns, and an adorable little Frankenstein pup. The Front of the Card 🎃 The sentiment “No Tricks, All Treats” sets the tone right away. I paired it with layers of patterned paper from the suite — candy corn, stars, and textures in shades of Pumpkin Pie, Petunia Pop, and gray. The star of the show is the cute costumed puppy holding a lollipop and pumpkin…

    Throwback Thursday: Handmade Candles

    August 7, 2025 /

    🕯️ Throwback Thursday: Handmade Candles from 2009 🕯️Crafted with love, warmth, and a little heat tool magic Today, I’m taking a little stroll down memory lane to 2009 — back when printed graphics on tissue paper, wax paper, and a heat tool were my crafting trifecta! These festive candles were some of my favorite projects to make during the fall and holiday seasons. Each design was printed onto tissue paper, wrapped around a plain candle with wax paper, and gently set with a heat tool until the design melted into the wax. Like magic, they transformed into seasonal treasures. The graphics I used came from a wonderful site called pcCrafter,…

    🖍 Back to School, Back to Crafting — August with Celestial Wolf Paper Crafts 🌙

    August 5, 2025 /

    Can you feel it? There’s a subtle shift in the air — a soft whisper of routine returning, notebooks being cracked open, and planners filling up. It’s back-to-school season here in Wyoming, and while the days are still warm, there’s no denying that summer is starting to fade. I had a beautiful summer filled with adventure, inspiration, and creative play — including some time away to float the river and recharge. But now… now I feel that magical pull toward the “-ber” months. 🍂 This is the time of year I get giddy — because crafting season is about to begin in full force. ✨ Big News: Monthly Card Kits…

    Taking a Pause, Floating Forward, and Crafting Through Christmas in July

    July 28, 2025 /

    Hello creative souls! You may have noticed it’s been a little quiet around here the past couple of weeks. Life at the college kept me extra busy earlier this month, and I followed that stretch with something I’ve really needed—some genuine, soul-refreshing rest. 💆‍♀️💫 I had the chance to float peacefully down the river, letting the current carry away all the noise and to-do lists. The sun peeked through the clouds in the most magical way, and I let myself simply be for a little while. It reminded me that stillness is often the first step back into creativity. Now I’m back in my studio, and you know what that…

    🌸 Handcrafted Beauty Inspired by a Sketch | Happy Birthday Card

    June 21, 2025 /

    Sometimes, inspiration comes at just the right time—and this card was born from a sketch challenge shared by A Cherry on Top. I love how sketches can act as a creative springboard while still allowing for complete artistic freedom. This soft and floral birthday card is the perfect example of mixing structure with soul.   ✨ The Inspiration: A Cherry on Top Sketch Challenge This week, I took on a card sketch challenge from the lovely community at A Cherry on Top. Sketches are a great way to break through creative blocks or experiment with new layouts, and this one was no exception! It encouraged layers, texture, and a focal…
