The new Spooky Bats Punch has been calling my name for a few days now! And of course, the matching stamp set Spooky Sweets has been hard to resist as well. I have had the idea for this card design in my mind for a while, but I was afraid to open up my Toil & Trouble DSP and see if anything was in there that would work for the bottom half of the card. And lo and behold, there was the perfect design! In fact, the design of the paper was so perfect, it inspired my final color scheme of Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black.
Colors Used
The card is fast and easy to do because of the punches. The moon was punched using the Twinkle Builder punch and of course, the Spooky Bats punch for the bats! I could have used the Twinkle Builder to punch out the stars in Silver Foil paper, but the Twinkle Adhesive backed sequins are sooooo much easier. The clouds were stamped using Basic Gray as that gave them a spookier, more ominous look.
Well, speaking of twinkle, the Glittered Organdy Ribbon is simply marvelous for those of us who like lots of bling on their cards! The ribbon is what inspired me to add the silver stars. Once I start adding bling, I can’t stop. And you may be asking, where did I find the Pumpkin Pie ribbon? Well, we don’t have Pumpkin Pie ribbon, but we do have 1/8″ white organdy ribbon and Stampin’ Blends in Pumpkin Pie! Just color any white ribbon with a Stampin’ Blend and you have a custom color!

What a beautiful card. Just love it.
Thank you Irene! I am so glad you like it. I had fun creating it!
We didn’t have a lot of Halloween this year in the Occasions Catalog but what we have is quality and I have had a lot of fun with those bats. Especially when they fly out of the punch. Love what you did with the ribbon this card, too.
Thank you Jayne! I agree, the bat punch is wonderful! With or without a stamped image to punch out.
SPOOOKY! Love it!
Thank you Brian! This is a great Halloween set.
