I couldn't resist.....So I dug my Monstermaniacs Stamp Set out of storage!!!

My new Halloween stamp set from Stampin' Up! has not arrived yet, and I wanted to design a Halloween card, NOW.  
I saw a card similar to this one on Pinterest, and the only information I could find was, well, Nothing, Nada, Zero. So, here is my version.  I hope it brings a smile to your face.

Recipe:
  • The base of Granny Apple Green cardstock is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.  
  • The next layer of Basic Black is 5 1/4 x 4.
  • The 5 x 3 3/4 layer is stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and stamps from Monstermaniacs (retired).  I colored my monsters with my favorite SU Blends.
  • Next, I used the Large Alphabet Dies, (retired) to cut out the letter B in Basic Black.
  • I used two Layering Oval Dies (yes, they are retired as well), to cut out the letters O in Basic Black.  I used Mini-Dimensionals to add them to the card.
  • The words, "You're Spooktacular" is from Trick or Tweet.
  •  All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
