Hello, and welcome to another Monday!  Since it’s the third Monday of the month, it’s time for a new challenge at Cards in Envy.  For the next couple of weeks we’re getting into a Halloween mood by focusing on a theme of “Trick or Treat”.  Cards for this challenge should be A2 size (4.25″ x 5.5″) and flat enough to fit in an envelope for mailing.  Your card can be scary, cute, or anything in between, so long as it conveys the idea of trick or treating.

I’ve used alphabet stamps to spell out the sentiment for my card.  I didn’t have enough lower case “r”s for the whole phrase “trick or treat”, so I decided to mix upper case and lower case to make the words.  The bunny in the pumpkin and the “boo” quote balloon were both stamped on scrap cardstock.  I used markers to color the bunny image, then fussy cut it and the quote balloon.  They are attached with dimensional adhesive so they kind of float above the stamped sentiment.  The layout for this card comes from the current CAS(E) this Sketch! challenge.  I’m also entering this card into the Lawnscaping “Too Cute to Spook” challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Now go check out what the rest of the Cards in Envy design team has made.  I’m sure they’d love it if you visit their blogs and leave a comment.  Then share your own trick or treating card with us at the CIE site by 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, November 1.  We’d love to have you play along with us!
