Christi's Creative Crew: Halloween Treat and Baby's First

Another Halloween card and a treat - these two were also out at the National Card Making Day

This is a treat that I have made before to sell at the local craft sales, but between Dale's soap making business and my Stampin' Up! business, we are too busy to participate in craft sales. It was always a LOT of work, and truthfully, I am pleased, but I thought for National Card Making Day it would be fun to put some treats out.

The cute little bat (way cuter than the ones in real life) is made from the Owl Punch and 1-3/8" circle punch for the wings. The branch is from the Bird Builder Punch. All the edges were sponged with some Craft White Ink and the smile was made using a chalk marker.

This was a fun card using two different stamp sets that both coordinate with the same die set. Merry Cafe' and Coffee Cafe', but I did grab the "steam" from Scentsational Season and the bat & spiderwebs from Home Sweet Home.

I saw the little 3D spiders at the local craft shop and thought they would be a great addition.

I didn't have a stripe designer paper so created my own with a chalk marker and a ruler.

I understand that I used retired products and some non Stampin' Up! products, but perhaps you have these items in your stamp collection and it is fun to pull out some old favorites.

I took this same card but changed it up to make a Halloween card for Liam. He is nearly one year old - born just after Halloween last year so this is his first Halloween and it will be fun to send it to him.
