Halloween Scene + Pretty Pink Posh Release Hop

Hi friends! It’s is a busy day on my blog, as this is the second post I have for you today! I am super excited to be participating in the Pretty Pink Posh October Release blog hop with a bunch of fabulous designers and friends of mine!

october_bloghop

There are so many super cute products in this release, it’s hard to choose what my favorite is! In my card project, I’ve used the Halloween Friends stamp set, along with a couple of images from the Giving Thanks stamp and die sets, to create a cute night scene.

I also used the new Peek-a-boo Window dies to create an interactive element on this card, which makes for a fun, unexpected surprise for the recipient!
