Use Crafters Companion 'Spring Blooms' die set to make the base for this spooky card
I bought the 'Spring Blooms' die set by Crafters companion at a local craft fair recently, knowing that it could have several uses. So, this week I wanted to show you that a spring die could be used to make an autumn card.
This die set has several bits to it, but the two main die pieces make a circle for the centre of a base card. But instead of using the flowery part of the die piece, I just used the stringy part twice to create a circle. I thought it worked well for a Halloween card as to me it looks slightly spooky as it is irregular cut outs.
I used a small Cuttlebug Halloween die that I have had for years to cut the little characters on my card. You can use any stamp, die or punches to make your Halloween characters to decorate the card.
