Add some sweetness to this Halloween cards-they don’t have to be spooky, they can be adorably sweet and covered in frosting!
It’s almost Happy Halloween time. How about a not-so-spooky, super sweet, Halloween card?! Today’s design is from Shelly, who said, “I wanted to have some fun with things because I know not everyone likes scary but everyone loves cute and sweet treats, right?!” RIGHT! This card is fun and wow her frosting coloring looks good enough to eat. I can just see the smile of whoever eats this cupcake- purple teeth for days! haha.
- Start with stamping the images onto marker friendly white cardstock/paper from the 36006 Cute Ghosts stamp set (ghost, candy, sentiment) and the 38004 Frosted Wishes stamp set (cupcake) using black ink.

- Using the 5802-03D Nested Dash Dot Rectangle die and the 5003D Nested Classic Rectangle die, make a frame with black cardstock.
- Set aside.
- Using a medium size die from 5003D Nested Classic Rectangle die, make a ‘mat’ to fit the inside of the frame from above with a black glitter cardstock.
