Stampin' Up! Playful Alphabet, Well Said, Fireside Trimmings, and Harvest Hellos Halloween Birthday Card

Do you know anyone who's birthday is ON Halloween? I know a couple, and I'm glad to see one of them tomorrow (although I hope he doesn't see this card today)!

Did you read the title of this blog post? If so, you'll see that I actually used THREE stamp sets and one set of dies to make this super awesome card today! I am hoping to show you the value of your stamp sets and all you can do with them.

Stampin' Up! Playful Alphabet Birthday Card

I have a couple of friends with birthdays this week, and decided to make their birthday cards a bit more Halloween themed! What's crazy is that the outside of this card doesn't have ANY stamping!

Stampin' Up! Festive Post Sponged Halloween Card

Have you ever tried sponging to add some pizzaz to your card? I am not usually one to sponge, but I'm so glad I did on this card.

Stampin' Up! Festive Post Halloween Card

We are now just a few days away from Halloween and I am officially dropping Halloween cards in the mail today for friends!

Today's card was actually pretty simple to make, and I like how "spooky" and dark it looks since my main color was Basic Black.

Stampin' Up! Life is Beautiful and Festive Post Halloween Card

Happy Halloween week! Can you believe Halloween is already this week?! I sure can't! While I plan to celebrate Halloween, I am definitely one of those people who say November 1st is actually "Christmas 1st." This year, I've actually been getting into the Christmas mood earlier since it snowed last week!

Anyway, I've still got Halloween cards to share with you this week, and I hope you love them. Today's card uses the Life is Beautiful and Festive Corner stamp sets!

Fireside Trimmings Spooky Card

I recently created this Halloween-themed card using the Fireside Trimmings bundle for a card swap that I participated in. I loved making it -- and the bat banner is probably my favorite part!

I also love to color and was happy to get to color multiple parts of this card. Living in Minnesota, the weather has begun to get a bit colder so the fire was the perfect touch!
