Let's give a shout out to Halloween! It is my least favorite holiday of all time. I love Arbor Day and Talk Like a Pirate Day more than Halloween. In spite of that fact, however, I do find myself drawn to this fall's Halloween stamp sets from Stampin' Up!
My most favorite stamp set this year would have to be the Howl-O-Ween Treat set which also has a coordinating die set called Boo To You. I love having matching dies - they make cutting out images a cinch!
I can see using this set for occasions other than Halloween. I can already see a birthday card and a "You Rock" card in my head. And did you catch the shape of this hat? Does it not remind you of the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter? I'm thinking a "Happy Birthday, Muggle" card needs to be made. Stat! Want a Nimbus to go with or to make some other Quidditch project? Check out the If the Broom Fits stamp. Oh, the creative wheels they are a turnin'!
A select few of my friends will be receiving a Halloween card from me. Silly me didn't take a picture of the interior so I don't have that to show (cuz they are already in the mail) but I'll tell you what I did: I opened my word processing document and typed up my sentiment: "It's no trick, you're a real treat to have as a friend." I then printed it out onto my favorite Whisper White card stock, cut it to size using my handy-dandy Stampin' Trimmer, slapped on some glue then adhered it to the interior. Easy peasy. The exterior took a bit more time but I think it turned out pretty cute.
Got some Halloween goodies you'd like to share? I'd love to see your creations. Leave a comment below with a link and I'll be sure to check them out. Until then...
Happy Creating!
