“Ghoulish Goodies” Card Tutorial

Hi Friends! I don’t usually make Halloween cards – in fact, I can’t tell you how many YEARS it’s been since I made a Halloween card! However, I’ve got some adorable photos of our two grand-daughters (they’re one and two years old) from last year at Halloween that I want to scrapbook, so of course, I NEEDED stamps for that! I promise I’ll share my Halloween scrapbook pages with you, just as soon as I get them done. Catching up on my scrapbooking is on my agenda for this winter and I can’t wait! 

Anywho, this year’s Halloween offerings from Stampin’ Up! are GORGEOUS! I’m placing an order today for the “Magic in this Night Suite“! I am really excited to create projects using all of the new goodies in this suite.  Speaking of ‘goodies’ I did get the “Ghoulish Goodies” stamp set and I am LOVIN’ it! 

I decided to use this stamp set for my ‘Leader’s Project Sheet Group’ this month, so this morning, at 5am with my BIG cup of coffee, I got to stampin’! I must say, I really like how my card turned out!

This card was super easy to make – just a bit of sponging, some heat embossing and a little die-cuttin’ and it was done in no time at all! Here’s my tutorial for you – I hope you enjoy it!
