It's day 2 of the Blog Tour and I've still got Fall on my mind! Today I'm going with Halloween. I've never gotten into halloween cards much until recently. I'm loving the sets and Sweet Centers by Stampin Up is no exception! This one is even more fun because you can put treats in the plastic cups. So, not only do you give a greeting card, but also a little gift. How fun is that!?!
This set is very versatile. You can use it for Halloween as shown, for everyday occasions, Valentines Day, and Christmas. The possibilities are endless!To make my card, I used the ink pads to color different sections of the stamp, then stamped it. This is an easy technique to do on large solid image stamps. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.
