This is the one-and-only Halloween card I made this year. And I didn't even send it to anyone, LOL! I really like the Spooky Bats Punch so I bought it bundled with the coordinating Spooky Sweets stamp set. I also bought the Black Foil Sheets, which is what these bats are punched from, though it was hard to capture their glossiness in the picture. That's all the Halloween stuff I bought this year. No Designer Series Paper, no embellishments. In large part this is because I knew I wouldn't be set up to hold classes yet, but also because Halloween is not widely celebrated here in Australia. Shops are trying to get it going, but it's definitely a North American holiday!
So to make a card I had to be creative. I used the starry background from the Bokeh Dots set and Basic Gray ink applied with a sponge dauber on Whisper White card stock. I matted it on Basic Gray card stock and added the bats with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment from Spooky Sweets was stamped in Pumpkin Pie and cut with a Layering Circles Die, and mounted on Basic Black card stock cut with the next larger die and popped up with Dimensionals. A Pumpkin Pie card base ties everything together. So for all my friends and family in the States, here you go...may you get many more treats than tricks today! Here are the products I used to make this card. Click on any image below to go to my Online Store and order. Explore Stampin' Up!
If you live in Australia and are not working with another Stampin' Up! demonstrator I'd love to be your creative coach! Let me know and I'll send you both the Annual and Holiday Catalogues. In the meantime, click on each cover to view online!
