Simple Stories Happy Haunting Collection

Hi friends!  I’m so excited to share EIGHT Halloween cards made with the Simple Stories Happy Haunting Collection! 
This beautiful colors of this collection include the traditional orange and black you associate with Halloween, with the unexpected addition of PINK!  This gives this collection a fresh look with a sweet twist. 
The collection has so many beautiful prints too.. plaid, gingham, zig zag stripes, colorful dots, starry skies and florals too! 
The chipboard stickers are great for adding dimension to your projects.  I cut the garland included on the sheet in two pieces to embellish this card.
The 3x4” pocket/journaling cards printed on a 12” paper in the collection kit are perfect for  layering over pattern paper and embellishing.
You’ll also find Icon Bits and Pieces that are great for making scenes and embellishing, as well as Journaling Bits and Pieces that are great for adding hand written sentiments and documenting your journaling pages.   Some of these die cut pieces include printed sentiments like the speech bubble on this card. 
I like to arrange the bits and pieces and chipboard stickers on a piece of clear plastic the same size as my card base before I commit and adhere them in place.  
I powder the back of stickers from the Collection Kit Sticker sheet so I can arrange them without them sticking to other elements.  I adhere them with liquid glue when I decide where to place them. 
You’ll have lots of fun making with this collection and your card recipients will be delighted with your one of a kind creations!

How fun! I don't think I've ever seen pink on Halloween cards before, but I love it!
