<p>One of my friends took her family camping last weekend and the campground was having Halloween in August, wow what a cool idea I thought, and with my new Halloween stamps I am good to go:</p>

<p>On this card I used<a href="http://www.shophandmade.com/Item/6-758-H660GKF"> A Cute Witch</a> and <a href="http://www.shophandmade.com/Item/6-758-H424G19">Harry the Spider digital</a> stamps from <a href="http://www.shophandmade.com/Store/Lindsay">Lindsay&#8217;s Stamp Stuff</a>. I colored them with colored pencils then blended them with a blender pen that I had filled with goo-gone. Then I used a star background rubber stamp (Inque Boutique) and clear embossing ink to stamp around the witch and used a pom-pom to dab chalk over that to make the purple star design in the background.</p>
<p>I used my cricut and SCAL software to cut the spiderweb edge card (you can download that svg file below) then used spray adhesive to glue it to a 6&#8243;x12&#8243; sheet of Bazzil cardstock, then I trimmed around the web. The cardstock backing adds color while making the card more sturdy. I embossed &#8220;Trick or Treat&#8221; (inkadinkado) with white on a black scrap, mounted it with orange and adhered it to the card and added eyelets for decoration. I cut the stars with my Cricut and SCAL software then gave them a coat of glitter glue.</p>
