Hello everyone!! Hope all is well with you!!! I have been filling out papers to join DAR..The Daughters of the American Revolution. I thought I had it all together but now I have to get a birth certificate for my grandmother, death certificates for my grandparents, their marriage certificate, and even a birth certificate for my ex husband....now that will be a tricky one...LOL!!! My cousin did all the hard work....she did all the research from our great grandparents back to our revolutionary ancestor and even to our Mayflower ancestor...pretty cool stuff!! Anyway....
October is almost here and you know what that means...Halloween!!!! I love all the fun associated with Halloween....bats, ghosts, spiders...EEEEEK!!!
Both my cards today feature the Taylored Expressions dies called Gothic Window Accessories. The set includes a pumpkin,2 bats, a cat, and a crow...perfect for all your spooky needs!!
The sentiment from the Big Bold Halloween stamp set was stamped on the Choice Snow White cardstock and the washi tape was added underneath the sentiment. Then the spooky diecuts cut from Oreo and Candy Corncard stock were popped up with foam dots... Hocus Pocus Matching Sequins and twine finish it off.
Along with the TE Gothic Window Accessories dies, I used the Lable Stacklets 5 dies for the layers and the TE Tangled Webs Embossing Folder on the background Pumpkin card stock and patterned papers from the Hocus Pocus 6x6 paper pack. The sentiment from the Big Bold Halloween set was embossed with white ep on the Oreo card stock and matted with Granny Smith card stock.
The cat and bats were matted with Pumpkin card stock and the twine is the finishing touch.
Thanks for stopping by....have a great day!! I hope you get to do something crafty today!!!
