Spooky Halloween Card

I'm back with the second project from my Monthly Hostess Club! This card was very easy to make and came together quickly.
Isn't the moon cool? To achieve that look I punched a circle out of a post-it and stuck it over my embossed stamped image. Then I sponged different layers of ink around it until I was happy with the way it looked. Let me know what you think!



All Supplies from Stampin Up:
Stamp Set- House of Haunts
Cardstock - Basic Gray, Basic Black, So Saffron
Ink - Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black
Misc. - Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, VersaMark Pad, Raven Lace Trim, Stampin' Dimensionals

Monthly Hostess Club Begins!!!

Boy was I anxious to get this club started. A few months ago my friends were asking me to start a daytime stamping club. So after putting together all the details last month we finally got started. I have been a participant in monthly stamping clubs for a few years now but I have never RUN one! We are a very small group but we had a lot of fun creating two Halloween projects. The first one is this "fangtastic" treat box I CASE'd from fellow demonstrator Angie Kennedy Juda. To watch her video tutorial on how to make this box click here.



And here is the side view:



A few things I LOVE about this little treat box.... first is the sparkly bat! I have been putting him on almost all my cards and Halloween projects this year. You will fall in love with our Smooch Spritz after just one use. All you do is shake & spray! Voila! You can turn any paper into sparkly awesomeness! Second is that way cool spider web raised background. You'll be seeing a lot of that in my Halloween projects too! It's not a specialty paper, it's just a piece of Basic Black cardstock run through the Big Shot with the new Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.... Voila! (wow, I'm French now?) Another easy way to kick your projects up a notch!
