Hope Stamps Eternal - Halloween Blog Hop!

The Hope Stamps Eternal Sweeties are ready to haunt you today with a Halloween Blog Hop featuring some of the great new products you can get in the Hope Stamps Eternal store to get your cardmaking in gear for Halloween!

If you didn't arrive here from Rachel's blog, you'll want to go back there and start at the beginning and believe me, it's worth the effort because we have some surprises for you! First of all, there is a Secret Sweet Stop somewhere along the way, so think of it like trick-or-treat commenting! You'll need to knock, and comment at each blog and one lucky winner from all those that do will win some sweet Halloween (Blog) Candy! Also, you will be wanting to look for a letter that is highlighted at each blog! Be sure you go in order, find all those hidden letters, and this will spell out a promo code giving you 25% off everything at the Hope Stamps Eternal store through Sunday, September 27th! Yes, everything! Including new and clearance items (but sorry, not on pre-orders!) Enter that promo code in ALL CAPS in order to get the 25% discount at the checkout!

Now, on to my creations! First up is this scary black cat card I created to spook someone! And no, you're not seeing double! I used Mercy's Sketch challenge again for this card because I love it so much and it's a GREAT sketch for showcasing these amazing Eerie papers from Basic Grey! I love, love, LOVE the colors in these papers! My scaredy cat comes from Inkadinkado, and is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black, then embossed with clear embossing powder. The Moroccan Screen Cuttlebug folder I used and the Zva crystal flowers are available at the HSE store, as well as the Basic Grey paper and Inkadinkado stamps!

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from this stamp set, and embellished with a Martha Stewart punched border, also available at the HSE store!
For this second card, I've continued using the Eerie paper along with some Zva Flourishes in Jet Black. My mummy teddy bear stamp is an oldie but goodie that I got a few years ago from Serendipity Stamps! (I'm a sucker for cute mummy stamps!) I used yesterday's sketch challenge from SCS for the layout, too!
For the inside of the card, I stayed simple with another Martha Stewart punched border, and Accented some of the dots with Crystal Stickles from Ranger.
So I hope you like my Eerie-inspired creations and will take the time to do some shopping at the HSE store! Rachel has so many awesome products available, you'll surely find a ton of things you "need!"

Now, hop on over to Jessica's blog for the next stop, don't forget to do a little trick-or-treat commenting while you're there, and I thank you very much for stopping by my blog today!
