A Spooky Sweets Halloween Card
Hello Paper Crafters!! I created this cute Spooky Sweets Halloween card at my Stamp Club this month. I just love this color combination: Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie & Rich Razzleberry. There are lots of nice images in the Spooky Sweets stamp set. The texture stamp can be used to create spooky clouds in the night sky. I have also seen it used to create a texture on tombstones.
The Spooky Sweets Bundle
I think the Spooky Bats punch is my favorite part of this bundle. You can punch 3 bats at once. In no time at all you can punch a whole lot of bats from Basic Black card stock. The technique I used, by coloring the individual bats on the rubber stamp with the Stampin’ Write Markers, is an easy way to add a lot of color to a project.

Step 2:
Stamp your images.
- Stamp your sentiment in Versamark onto the Basic Black banner. Sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat with a heat tool until raised and shiny.
- Ink texture stamp from “Spooky Sweets” with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and stamp twice, near the middle right, on white 3 ½ x 4 ¾” card stock.
- Use Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Markers to color on each bat and then stamp on scrap of Whisper White card stock. Punch the bats out with the Spooky Bats punch.

Putting it all together.
