Also, I've got ONE SPOT LEFT (FILLED!) for my Stamp Club!  If I can fill the slot by tomorrow's Wow Class, we'll start this 6-month club this month!  Members get FREE Wow Classes every month & Hostess Benefits during one month!  Learn more: Monthly Stamp Club.

We'll
be creating this fun Halloween card at tomorrow's Wow Techniques Class
using a ghosting technique and the too-cute-to-be-spooky images from the
Halloween Hello stamp set.

This
fun technique was shared in our demo-exclusive Stampin' Success
Magazine.  Although it looks like it's just stamping on Smoky Slate card
stock, it actually began as Whisper White! 

3-Step Ghosting Technique

• Stamp the images with White Craft Ink onto Whisper White card stock.  Allow to dry.
• Brayer
  on your background ink color over the top of the images.  The White
  Craft Ink resists the ink enough that you'll still see your images
  showing through. 
• Stamp the images again, this time in
  Black StazOn ink, and slightly offset from the previous image creating a
  dropshadow effect. 

Positioning The Bats—It's
helpful to use your Stamp-A-Ma-Jig when you stamp your top black image,
but I am too impatient for that, so I eyeballed mine.  I didn't do too
badly, but I think it would have looked nicer if they weren't offset
quite so much.  You'll do a better job, I'm sure! 

Spooky Border—I added some Witches' Brew Washi Tape along the side, then wrapped it with some 3/8" White Taffeta Ribbon.

Batty Sentiment—I
punched out a layer if Summer Starfruit with the Bracket Label Punch,
then added a sentiment in Pumpkin Pie and bat accent with some
Rhinestone Jewels.

Wacky Witches—The second of my two cool cards features a flock of witches!  I can almost hear them cackling! 

Sparkly Spiders—My Tags 4 You sentiment was also punched with the Bracket Label Punch and layered on a Pumpkin Pie punch that was cut in half and re-positioned.  I used the tiny Rhinestones on the spiders—love it!

Bundle It & Save—Don't forget…you can purchase the Tags 4 You stamps and Label Bracket Punch together as a Tags 4 You Bundle (wood) and save 15% off the price of purchasing them separately!
