Hello Stampin’ Friends!

I was excited, as you can image, when I saw the Best of 25 flyer for August…   I’m a bit of a Halloween fanatic, but never really expected Stampin’ Up! to release the best of 25 Halloween!  But here it is, and it has some of my favorites too!

I love the house and the tree in this set, so today I’m going to share with you a card I created using the tree.

For our 25-year anniversary, Stampin’ Up! is bringing back some of their favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release— one set per month—during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image!

Hang on to your 25-year proof of purchase sticker, and adhere it to your Stampin’ Up!® collectors card, which is included with each stamp set.  If you don’t have one, let me know … I will get one to you right away!

For every six Best Of sets you buy, you can send in your collectors card for a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Must be redeemed by April 30, 2014

If you click on the “Shop Now” button, it will take you to the Halloween section.

When you get to the Halloween items, check out the banner … Isn’t that cool.  I just may have to create that for the Halloween party this year.

I used the “masking” technique to create the moon…. then sponged the sky with Elegant Eggplant and Night of Navy ink.  I stamped all images with the black StazOn.

The greeting is from the stamp set “Halloween Bash” found on page 21 of the Holiday Catalog.  After stamping it, I cut off the “celebrate” then the “halloween” … leaving a bit of the “crawly” so I could adhere the “celebrate” over the top.  Hope that made sense!  lol

I don’t know what it is about Halloween, but I really do enjoy the holiday!  Must be the spooky movies I watched as a kid.  Feel free to share you thoughts about Halloween, or this card!  Thanks.

Have a wonderful day ~
