Hello Reader,

A little spooky, a little sweet and a whole lot of Halloween fun! Today’s card brings yesterday’s Stampin’ Pretty Sketch to life with the Web of Fun Bundle and Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper.

I love how the bold black spiderweb creates instant drama against the crisp white background, while the pops of orange keep everything playful. The adorable spider and layered BOO sentiment are the perfect finishing touches.

WHAT I LOVE!

• The classic black, vanilla and orange (Timid Tiger) Halloween color combination.
• The spiderweb die-cut creates a fabulous focal point without adding bulk.
• A simple circle gives the BOO sentiment plenty of room to shine.
• The Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper adds just enough pattern while keeping the overall design clean and simple.
• Yesterday’s sketch makes it easy to recreate this layout with Halloween products—or completely change the occasion with a different suite!

It’s one more example of how a simple sketch can take the guesswork out of designing and leave plenty of room to make it your own.
