👻 Halloween Magic... join my free frightfully fun workshops!


Why, hello my dear crafter!

Are you ready to delve into the spooky world of Halloween crafting? I absolutely adore getting creative for this magical and mysterious holiday. (But I hate scary movies and gore, so my Halloween projects are much more fun than scary!)

Emily, the Explosion Box Enchantress, is back with TWO frightfully fun workshops.

August might seem a bit early for Halloween, but I know I need to start on costumes and crafts early because I definitely go all-out with the creative details!

My real-life friend Lucy is the haunted hostess of the Great Halloween Spooktacular.


We're on a mission to help fellow paper crafters cast aside their fears and embrace the sheer joy of experimenting— it's like playtime with paper, but with a spooky twist. (And my oh my, I show you some amazing papers in my second workshop!)

Join us for 20 days of frightful fun as we bring you daily projects to add some eerie charm to your Halloween decor. It's going to be a spooktacular gathering of crafters like you, unleashing their creativity and getting into the spooky spirit.

Yes, you read that right! 20 projects over 20 days—a new creatively haunting Halloween papercraft daily.

Let's take a peek at what's lurking in the shadows during the Great Halloween Spooktacular.

  • This virtual crafting event takes place entirely online, allowing you to craft away in the comfort of your haunted house. This spine-chilling event is scheduled from August 11 to August 30, 2024.
  • Each day, a spooky presentation will materialize, revealing a thrilling new project. By unveiling one frightfully fun project a day, you'll master eerie new techniques and summon an array of projects at a pace that won't chill you to the bone.
  • That's not all! Sink your fangs into special presentations unveiling in-depth paper crafting techniques, from crafting trees for your haunted projects to creating tiny books and applying enchanting texture paint with pumpkin spice!
  • Within the Paper Houses and Paper Crafts Facebook group, you'll find support, be able to summon questions, connect with wickedly talented crafting specialists, share your spooky creations, and forge delightful friendships with fellow Halloween fans like yourself.
  • You can attend the summit absolutely free, but you may also choose to grab THE GREAT SPOOKTACULAR VIP PASS at any time. The VIP PASS will give you instant, ongoing access to the event plus a printable event workbook, chilling workshop crafting templates, transcripts, and delightfully spooky speaker bonuses.
