It's time to return to a regular blogging schedule - whatever that it! And Sweet & Simple Saturday seems a good day to start.
I haven't made many Halloween cards this year, so I sat down yesterday to make one with Batty for You. And it occurred to me that because of the circular shape of the images, I always reach for a circle punch when I use this set. So, I bucked the trend and used squares instead.
I used markers to highlight the skulls and omit the words from the stamp. Then punched them out with a 1" square punch and mounted them onto black c/stock. A punched sentiment and ribbon tab finish out this simple card.
I'm heading out to a Stampin' Up! regional training in Portland, Maine this morning, so will come back with some new samples and ideas for you.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Supplies:
- Stamps: Batty for You, All Holidays
- Paper: Whisper White note cards, Whisper White & Basic Black c/stock
- Ink: Basic Black, markers: Dusty Durango, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry
- Accessories: Old Olive grosgrain ribbon
- Tools: 1" square punch, word window punch
All supplies can be purchased from my SU website.
This card made me smile instantly! What a fun and funky Halloween card!

Oh, I am a total sucker for this classic layout, and your color choices (spots of strong color on an all white bg) sings to my CAS heart!
