SPOOKY HALLOWEEN
As quickly as the summer is going by, it will be Halloween before we know it! I guess I’m getting a little jump on the holiday!

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Timid Tiger cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- Two banners in the Spooky Sweets Designer Paper were cut out and then a third the same size from the gray textured print. All were added to the background.
- One of the tombstones was hand-cut from the Spooky Sweets DSP and added at an angle to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two spiderwebs and EEK were cut with the Fright Night Dies from Basic Black cardstock and the webs tucked next to the tombstone, EEK at the top.
- A spider was cut from Gorgeous Grape cardstock with the Fright Night Die and added to the web.
- The Spooky Halloween cat was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock. She was colored with Gray Granite, Timid Tiger, Peach Pie, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends. The broomstick was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. They were cut with the Spooky Halloween Dies and were popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of purple Shimmer Star Foam Stickers were added to the background.
