It's a Fang-tastic Halloween Blog Hop Day 1!!!

Hi Crafty friends!!! Welcome to a fabulous and Fang-tastic Halloween Blog Hop. If you just got here from Bee (BeLinda’s Blog) then you are right on point! If not then head over to Alyssa’s blog at (My Thoughts Exactly) and start there! We are going to Hop the entire weekend so we dare you to be there, he he!

Cher (Me)


Sponsors are The Digi Bistro, My Thoughts Exactly, Trendy Twine and SVGs by Bee

So on with the show! I made this spooky card inspired by K. Andrews’ Vintage Halloween card layout. I created the background paper from scratch and used the torn paper techniques to give the bottom a rough edge.



A piece of vellum paper was used to highlight the frame and cat as my main display. I also created the orange paper and used the large Polka Dots clear stamps from Paper Trey Ink. Next I made and placed a cute little stickpin to push down into the silk and sheer bows.


The frame, cat, pumpkin, and spooky sentiment are all from The Digi Bistro’s Halloween Town SVG Collection. The ‘Black Cat Crossing’ stamp is from My Thoughts Exactly – Ghostly Greetings clear stamps.


I have some great Blog Candy to give away! I have the Fright Night clear stamp set from My Thoughts Exactly to giveaway, along with a $20 Gift Certificate to The Digi Bistro store! This will give you a chance to get your hands on some of our newest and cutest cutting files! You want to win, you say? Well all you need to do is become a follower here on my blog and then go over to The Digi Bistro facebook fanpage and like us! That's it! We have here over $40 in prizes. Remember, you must be in it to win it.

Join me tomorrow for another day of super-fabulous projects from all the wonderful girls in the Fang-tastic Blog Hop! Now hop on over to Jennifer's blog for more Halloween Fun!
