Did you all get lots of cards made for WCMD? I didn't get a chance to share any yesterday, but I thought I'd pop by today and share another Halloween card:
It's a quick card that I made using the Stretch Your Imagination and Lyrical Letters cartridges. Both are great for cardmakers. Stretch Your Imagination, because it has pages and pages of seasonal designs from summertime watermelon to wintertime snowmen. Lyrical Letters, because it has several pages of sentiments that you can add to your cards without breaking out the stamps or the printer. Sometimes I like to simplify the process.
For the black background, I used my Cuttlebug to emboss a piece of black cardstock, which I then inked with Versamark and covered with black glitter embossing powder (this stuff is awesome for Halloween stamping projects) to make my own glittered paper. If you didn't feel like going to all the trouble, you could easily use some glittered paper from Doodlebug Designs, but I always like a chance to use my Cuttlebug. :) The pumpkins are backed with red glittered paper and attached to the card with foam adhesive. I'm addicted to that stuff! LOL!
Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!
CUTE!!! You seem to use your Cuttlebug so much! You make me want to get one!

I like these pumpkins! I esp. like how you backed them w/ the red glitter paper. I'll have to be on the lookout for that Cricut cartridge.
