Shelly here, wishing you a happy & spooky Halloween!
Today I am crafting along with Colleen’s Halloween Card challenge. The more I use ScraPerfect
products, the more I learn how versatile they are and wonder
how I ever crafted without them!

What I used to create my card:
Bazzill Cardstock – Kraft & Orange
Patterned Paper – Stampin Up
Vintage Images – Gecko Galz (Raven & Bingo Card)
Halloween Tag – Recollections/Michael’s
Cardstock Halloween Word Stickers from my stash
Twine
Sequins
Various Halloween Stamps
And here are my tips and tricks that I learned while creating this card:
One of my favorite features of the Best Glue Ever is how little you have use – I have been testing the limits and this glue is amazing – – I used little dots to glue all my card components together and
probably could have used less!
Of course I used my Embellie Gellie to pull sequins from my big bag mix and place them onto the front of my card. Little bits of the glue seeped through the center holes of the sequins, but Best Glue Ever dries completely clear.
However, once the glue was dry, there was a sticky, tacky residue left on top of my sequins. This is one of the cool things you can do with the Perfect Crafting Pouch – simply pat the pouch on top of those sticky areas and like magic, the stickiness is gone! Use your Perfect Cleaning Cloth to gently wipe off any excess powder.
I wanted to continue my card design inside my card and added sequins to my sentiment. I also wanted to use another cardstock sticker, but wanted to pop it up for dimension and to mimic the raven on the front.
I patted the sticky back of my sticker with the Perfect Crafting Pouch — and Voila! It was now just a die cut I could attach with my foam dimensional tape. I LOVE this technique – – I am looking at my stash of stickers in a new light!
I am finishing my post with instructions for PERFECT roasted
