Stamping With Friends September Blog Hop September-December 2023 Mini Catalog

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends September Blog Hop as we showcase the wonderful new products in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative for the holidays and beyond.

Today I want to share a cute Halloween card that I created using the new Them Bones Suite Collection. Our family loves to decorate and celebrate even though our kids are grown up and past the Trick or Treat age. This not so spooky card design has fun "glow in the dark" skeletons in a graveyard on a dark night. The headstone reminds me of the fake headstones we put up in our front yard with funny names on them. I love that all the products in this suite coordinate to make it easy to create fun projects.

One of the things I love about this card design is the "spooky" background created from one of the designs in the Them Bones Designer Series Paper. The graveyard scene does all the work for this card design and all I needed to do was add the cute skeleton and cat skeleton to complete the scene. A tip for stamping on the Glow In The Dark Specialty Paper is to use a stamp positioner so that you can stamp the image several times so that the image is stamped evenly and you can make it as dark as you like. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder onto the Starry Sky label to make it pop and I added two of the Glow In The Dark Bats to finish off the design. Isn't this card so much fun? I can't wait to see what else I can create with this wonderful suite.
