I had one more burst of enthusiasm for Halloween crafting and decided to make Halloween bookmarks to go in little sandwich bags with the candy. Gabi helped me make the black ones -- it was hard to get a two person rhythm going where the Versamark didn't dry before I could emboss it -- but it was fun anyway. Then she went outside to play and I made the ones stamped on white. The stamps are Tim Holtz and the inks are Distress inks: Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, and Dusty Concord.
I painted an inexpensive frame from Michael's with Martha Stewart High Gloss Beetle Black acrylic paint. I stamped and white-embossed Tim Holtz stamps on black cardstock. Then I added the ribbon and Recollections stickers, both of which I've had kicking around for two years or so. I like it and it's nice to use up things, too. ;-)

Some folks might say that taking three days to finish five relatively simple Halloween cards is poky. I say I'm deliberate. *grin* Actually, it only took three days because I wanted to make sure the ink was dry and the Stickles glitter glue was dry.
I made five essentially identical cards. The only variation is in the square of patterned paper that shows in the square on the front -- I cut squares from one sheet of paper, so different elements show on each.
The front:
The inside:
Supplies: Diecuts with a View A2 photo cards; K & Company Halloween Whimsy paper; Martha Stewart jack-o-lantern double craft punch; Inkadinkado All Hallow's Eve/Halloween stamps; Tsukineko Brilliance Archival Pigment Ink Pad in Moonlight White; Stickles (Ranger) in Black Diamond and Orange Peel
