Going Batty w/Whimsy Stamps

Are you ready for Trick-or-Treaters?  I'm all set here at our house.  While I'm not a big fan of Halloween and what it represents, I do participate in Halloween. This is the one and only time of year when up to 100 children (and their parents) will come knocking on MY door asking for something.  I make up really cute treat bags that include yummy candy treats, Halloween pencils, plastic spiders and "fangs", Halloween stickers and other novelties, AND....most importantly, I include a Christian Halloween Tract letting these dear ones know that Jesus loves them, died for them, and wants to be their Savior.
My card uses basic black cardstock for the base.  I layered that with striped patterned papers from the Fabulous Florals 6x6 Paper Pack.  I also added some sweet Gingham Ribbons to the card for texture and FUN.  That sweet candy corn shape was cut using the new Primitive Candy Corn Die Set, and it is absolutely adorable.  I rubbed each section with pink oxide inks.  Whimsy Stamps has such fun and fabulous products.
I used the Batty Die Set for all those not-so-spooky bats.  But first, I rubbed basic white cardstock with a fun new product I picked up at Picket Fence.  It's called Paper Glaze Luxe and the color I used is Black Eyeliner.  As you can see in the photo above, it gives the bats a glimmery sparkle.  I also cut the stitches and hashtag image from the paper treated with the Paper Glaze Luxe.  These small cuts are also found in the Primitive Candy Corn Die Set.
All around my card you'll see several different sprinkles.  They're from two different Confetti Mixes found at Whimsy Stamps.  Whether you're a fan of Halloween or not, there are lots of great products waiting for you at Whimsy Stamps.  I have fun creating with all their wonderful products, and I think you will as well.  Thanks for visiting me here today, friends.  I always appreciate you.


Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Fall Mood Board - I saw the spider on the mood board photo, so I decided to share this spooky Halloween card.

  5. Those bats are cute, and I really like that giant Candy Corn in the background. And how cool for not going traditional colors too. Thanks for joining us at Try It On Tuesday. hugs-Erika
