Happy Fright Night!

Using what I have is SO addicting and FUN! I created two more cards with items I haven't used for a long time!

I used an older Stampin' Up set called "Tricky Treats" to stamp that adorable ghost! Now, this stamp set is older, but it is new to me since I just picked it up at a rubber stamp flea market. This is my first time using it. However, I did use "Bitty Boos" to stamp the cat, the spider, and the word "Boo!". I haven't used my Bitty Boos stamp set for a LONG time! I also pulled out a Doodlebug Halloween striped paper that I've had for years. Once again, I don't know what I was saving it for! I did a lot of distressing with black ink on these cards. I thought adding the Tootsie Pops was just too cute! I also added some dots of Stickles in purple and orange. On each card, I added a QuicKutz large photo corner to the card front. I Cuttlebug embossed it using the tiny bubbles embossing folder, and I distressed it in black. As a final touch, I added googly eyes to the ghosts. I LOVE googly eyes!

I like the way these turned out. I'm going to send them to my nephew and niece for Halloween. I'll just put them in a small padded envelope, and I'll hope the Tootsie Pops don't break in the mail!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love these cards, and the idea of adding the lollies to the card is really good, especially as the ghost is holding it!
