Halloween Cards!

I love Halloween stamps and papers, but we don't really do much on Halloween, so I don't have a lot of Halloween pictures.  That doesn't stop me from buying Halloween stamps and papers, just using them!  I need to send out more Halloween cards.  Here are two I made for my Open House.

For both of these I used Close To My Heart's Mischief Paper Packet (X7144B), CTMH's Stamp of the Month - Wicked (S1108 - only available through August), CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, CTMH Sorbet brads (Z1338),  and CTMH Antiquated Copper brads (Z1275).
