All week long we are casting our gaze forward to the end of this month...and giving you TONS of Halloween ideas to celebrate this spooky season!
The best part is, we're ending it all with a Blog Hop and several of our designers are joining in the fun, so be sure to hang around and tell us what inspiration you need to make your very own Handmade Halloween...
Kicking off Trick or Treat week is Designer Anabelle O'Malley who spooked things up with her festive card set:
Anabelle is a card master. Can you imagine giving this to your child's teacher or perhaps leaving it with a treat in your mailbox for the mail carrier?
Here's a close-up so you can see the dimension Anabelle added to this adorable card:
One of our favorite things about Once Upon a Halloween is the color combo. There are so many options to make your Halloween projects really pop, thanks to this grown-up take on Halloween. It's playful yet elegant, and that's why we love it!
Don't forget the texture you can add with our gorgeous Halloween Trims:
Notice Anabelle has incorporated them on a couple of these cards, including this one:
...which is especially interesting given that this little bit of trim is cut away and treated like a single embellishment. When a trim packs that much interest, you can do that perfectly!
