For Craft Roulette Episode 279, I had so much fun creating this spooky-cute Halloween card with products from Scrapbook.com. I started by die cutting patterned paper from the Ghostly A2 Paper Pad using my nested A2 dies. The bat print became my card base, layered with a grid pattern paper that I inked around the edges with Simon Hurley’s Black Widow ink and a blending brush, then glued to a ghost patterned paper. These were adhered to the center and popped up with foam adhesive for dimension. I heat embossed the “Have a Sweet Halloween” sentiment from the Sweet Boo stamp set with white embossing powder on Lawn Fawn Black Licorice cardstock, fussy cut it, and added it to the top center of my card with thin foam strips.

For the focal point, I die cut the Mini Postage Stamp Polaroid die four times from black cardstock. Using one of the center cutouts as a template, I sketched small rectangles and stamped the ghost and bat from the Sweet Boo stamp set in Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink. I colored them and their backgrounds with OLO markers, then trimmed the panels and layered them between two postage stamp die cuts for a dimensional frame. To finish, I added a purple and pink popsicle from the Summer Treats die set, with shimmer highlights and white gel pen details. A few splatters from a black shimmer brush gave the background extra texture—being careful not to cover the bat or ghost too much.
