Hi All!
Today Simon Says Stamp is releasing a new line of stamps and dies. I am a huge fan of their stamps because they are high quality photopolymer, they come in such cute and versatile designs, and they always come with a bunch of tiny little pieces for detail.
Last week my daughter asked why I never make Halloween cards. I guess I never really thought about it, but I don’t think I’ve ever made a Halloween card! Treat bags, yes. Cards? No. So why not? This Trick or Treat stamp set is so completely adorable. I was going to use the dog because I’m more of a dog-lover, but the cat just looked so funny that I had to use him instead. There are matching dies that also include the word Halloween, which is what I used on this card. You can buy them as a set HERE.
I also used these frames, which are fantastic because you get the inside, the negative, PLUS a tiny frame in between.
Enjoy the video and I’ll be back Wednesday for another. Happy Labor Day!

This is so cute! You always come up with such creative ideas! I would’ve never thought to put slime on the top dripping down, it looks great! And your copic coloring is marvelous! Thanks for letting us know about the Labor Day sales. Great Card, I love it! 😉

Welcome to Halloween card making Darlene! They are by far my favorite cards to make out of the bazillion cards we all make every year. Once I start Halloween cards I cannot stop! Your card is so cute and I just love the UTEE slime!! Hope you will favor us with more Halloween cards! Hugs!! Cathy (also a dog lover!)

I love this Halloween card. The cat is so cute and I love the sparkle added with the WOW embossing powder to the word “Halloween.”

Simply adorable Darlene, what a super cute card!! What a fabulous die, it gives you 3 pieces, that very thin frame looks really fragile, but I think the embossing powder makes it a bit more manageable. Sorry I didn’t come here yesterday, I was busy celebrating my 41th. Wedding Anniversary, it was fun, how time flies!!!
Darlene DeVries
Happy Anniversary Maria!

Thanks so much for the extra ‘WWDD’ (What Would Darlene Do) video treat this week, such an adorable card! I would have gone right past this die not realizing the unique pieces it gives us in one swipe of cutting, very cool! BTW, last week’s card, just beautiful! You were so ‘channeling’ me with the “yea, not so easy really” thoughts, LOL, but when you show us a card to try and break it down so good like you always do with excellent filming and instruction, then you set me up to succeed! Bless you, Darlene! = )

I just wanted to add that I was able to also watch the butterfly card and since I left a quick comment for the give away I am not able to add another comment to let you know how much I love the card, so that is why I am back here again…LOL….I love how you used the die, I am going to have to shop so I can try it, I love the glitter embossing powder by WOW…what a neat product and no mess.
Thanks for sharing Darlene, I love your work so much and am so glad I did not have to wait to see it, the internet is so touchy here and keeps knocking me off.LOL…
Hugs

Darlene,
I have seen several online cardmakers use this stamp set but honestly, your card is my absolute favorite! You’ve inspired me to buy it and make some Halloween cards (which I never do…but yours is so much fun!).
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
