Spooky

It's always fun to use a mask to create a scene.  This card uses a mask and a reverse mask of a circle.  Glossy White Cardstock is the best paper to use when you're sponging on ink.  The trees and bats are stamped with staz-on. The original idea from this card started when I saw Julie Day's card on Pinterest.  Order your supplies here.

Witch's Broom

Every Halloween I do a Witch's Diner dinner for my family.  Everyone really looks forward to this fun dinner where you never know what you'll be eating during the 3 courses.  My kids always try to guess what's dessert and order that for the first course.  I thought these little brooms would be the perfect addition to our Halloween table.

I just cut a strip of Crumb Cake CS and then cut up the strip leaving about a 1/2" at the top that's not cut.  I attached sticky strip around that portion of the cardstock, colored the tootsie pop stick with a black sharpie, and then rolled the cardstock around the stick.  I created a tag and then attached it with baker's twine.  Order your supplies here.

Halloween Witches

I LOVE the fun side of Halloween.  I love the fun decorations (not really into the scary stuff).  I love getting dressed up (trying to convince my 10-year-old it's still cool to dress up as a family like we did this year and this year). I love hosting the Witch's Diner every year.  I love the delicious goodies that are served at Halloween.  I love the fun spirit it brings.  When I saw this card created by LeeAnn Greff, I couldn't wait to try it out.  Super easy to just use punches to create the skirts!

How FUN is that?!?!  It was one of the most popular cards at last weekend's stamp-a-stack.  I had to cut more cardstock for guests to make this card. Order your supplies here.
