We Create August Blog Hop Never Too Early

Can you believe it is September already? I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by. Today we are hopping along with the We Create September Blog Hop and our theme is "Never Too Early". As we get ready to switch to Fall soon, I start thinking about the holiday season and the opportunity to create fun projects for Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Winter. That's a lot to look forward to, so I think it's never too early to create for the holidays. Which one do you think I will choose for today?
I love Halloween so I am super excited to get started on creating projects ready for this fun holiday. Even though my kids are all grown up, I still enjoy making spooky fun cards and treats to celebrate. Luckily, there are several Halloween products in the Online Exclusives that are perfect for both of these types of projects. Today I am playing with the new Playful Ghosts stamp set and I paired it with one of the designs from the Iconic Celebrations 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. There is something about Moody Mauve that is perfect for this holiday and I paired it with Blackberry Bliss to create this sweet card design.

This clean and simple Halloween card is easy to create and I had fun using a variety of Stampin' Blends markers to color in the focal image to add a pop of color to the card design. I also heat embossed the sentiment with White embossing powder and the clouds with Clear embossing powder to help step up the design. I love the detail around the edge of the focal circle that I die cut using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. For the card front, I chose the Moody Mauve stars patterned paper from the Iconic Celebrations to give the feeling of a night sky. I love that this pack of paper has such a wonderful variety of designs suitable for all the upcoming holidays. The Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling to give the look of stars sparkling in the evening sky. Creating this card design has really put me in the mood for Halloween and I can't wait to create more projects using these fun products.
