Vampire Treats!

Happy Saturday OCS Friends!
Wow where did September go? I can't believe it's October already! With that being said, Halloween is right around the corner and who wouldn't love to get this adorable Halloween card! For my card today I am using the High Hopes Stamps "Vampire Treats" stamp.
I made a pop up card this time using the Elizabeth Crafts Design Lucy Label Pop Up die to make the card base. Then using my Design paper I decorated the card. I stamped some extra bats from the image and also stamped a larger High Hopes stamp called "Bat" to add to the little pop up box. All the red bats have clear Wink of Stella on them and after adding some die cuts and enamel dots my card was complete!
 This is the front of the card. I added another High Hopes stamp called "Bat", some YNS Halloween Divine Twine and a little pumpkin button. The 31 is cut out of MME Happy Haunting 12x12 paper that I had in my stash. 
 I used the sentiment "Frightfully Delightful" from High Hopes as well.

Don't forget to enter into our current Challenge called "Christmas/ Halloween/ Fall". I can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Crafting!
