I don't send many Halloween cards but I do like to have some on hand. I have two boxes of Halloween stamps, dies and ephemera - some of it never used yet - so there's that reason too!
So for this card I used three new Lavinia Stamps for the first time (pumpkins and bats), a baseboard frame from Tim Holtz that I've had a package of for a year and never used one of them, and Regions Beyond die set (candle and crow) that I've also had for over a year and never used!
I seem to buy things after season when they are on sale and then forget I have them?!?
I'm sending my card to:
Inspired by the pumpkins, window and candle.
ends 9/26
first time using pumpkin and bat stamps, Baseboard window frames, Regions Beyond die cuts (candle and crow)
ends 9/24
Inspired by Fall

ReplyDeleteI make Halloween cards for my 11 grands and greats and this is a fantastic idea I may have to CASE, Julia. The hanging bats I have never seen before and they look great hanging from the window. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

ReplyDeleteAdorable Halloween card!! Thank you for joining us for this weeks Inspired by...Autumn Challenge. ~Von Marie~
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing, Julia! I'm trying to put the brakes on and not buy at the end of the season, but it's hard to stop myself! This is a REALLY scary Halloween card, my friend! Those bats are scarier hanging there than flying, I think. Eerie and perfect for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI love this Halloween card!

ReplyDeleteGreat combo of elements on this fun Halloween card, Julia - love the window with the bat & candles, plus the scary pumpkins and raven!!
ReplyDeleteHere in Greece halloween isn't really celebrated so I don't have any stamps or dies in my collection so it's always lovely to see spooky and fun cards and this is no exception. Thank you for the inspiration.
