Halloween is around the corner and it is time for the eerie scene.  Okay you are wondering what makes it eerie? How about a window with a crooked tree in the picture?  But wait that is not all, you need the moon, bat, and a the dangling spider with his web.  I think that will do the job.  So joint in the fun and make some Halloween cards with Stampin’ Up!’s great stamps.

On my last blog, I commented about stamp sets getting overlooked. Well today, it is the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series. We all love their paper and the fact it is two sided is wonderful, but it also gets lost in the shuffle. This is the case for today’s card.  I used a mix of retired and new, but primarily new. I will have you look at the last panel.  It is the spider web embossing folder with a retired spider.  If you want you could use the spider web paper in the Halloween Night Designer Series Paper.  I will let you figure out the spider. My suggestions is punch out the spider body in black and glue on a white square.  You could draw the legs with your black marker.

This gives you a sample of what is coming up in the Holiday Catalog which you order on Thursday September 1st.  Don’t have a demonstrator, I love to be your demonstrator.  You can request a catalog here under Shopping.
