Monday Challenge-Chalk Art

Hi Everyone! I'm behind on everything…including blogging. Jeepers! The card I'm posting today is the card I made for the Chalk Art challenge or at My Craft Spot blog. Chalk art is very popular, and is a look that is easy to achieve. 
*Happy Halloween* is a sentiment from the new stamp set Chalkboard Sentiments-Fall by My Craft Spot. I cut the little ghosts out with a metal die from the Halloween Shapes Metal Dies set. To get the ghost coming from different directions--simply turn paper over and cut out shapes from both sides on your paper. It's hard to tell in the picture, but there is a glittery piece of cardstock between the black layer and my card. Of course I added some Tuxedo sequins to my card. Love! A black twine bow finishes my card.
I hope you'll play along in this week's Monday challenge at My Craft Spot's blog.

MCS Stamp Release Party Day #4 Chalkboard Sentiments-Fall

Hi Everyone! Can you believe it's already day four of My Craft Spot's Stamp Release Party? We're SO close to the big reveal this Saturday, when you'll be able to see all of the new stamp and metal die sets. 
Today we are sharing a sneak peek of the new stamp set Chalkboard Sentiments-Fall. Here is my project:
I stamped *Peek a BOO a sweet treat for You!* on the inside lid of my little treat holder--a stamp from the new Chalkboard Sentiments-Fall stamp set.
I created a Halloween scene for the lid of my box, using the new Halloween Shapes Metal Die set by My Craft Spot.
I heat embossed the lettering with white powder. The cute spider and web are also cuts made with the Halloween Shapes Metal Die set. 
I used the Pizza Treat Box SVG cut file from SVGCUTTINGFILES. After opening the cut pattern in Silhouette Design Studio, I reduced the size to 70%. 
A snack sized Reese's fits perfectly.
Be sure to check out all of the other DT projects and leave a comment over on My Craft Spot's blog for a chance to win today's party prize.
