New Sweet Wishes Release

Hi there! Tonight the new Sweet Wishes release with Simon Says Stamp went live and it is full of so much holiday and winter goodness!

My first project uses the Halloween House embossing folder along with the Trick or Treat Ghosts dies. I am not a big ghost fan, but I couldn’t resist these cute little ghosts in their costumes.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from Halloween Friends with the new Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. That thing stamps like a dream!
