MARCH TWO OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE

SPOOKY!!

We're heading into March now, with all things green - the beginning of spring, St. Patrick's Day shamrocks, and our new inspiration board here at Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge!

Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: March 2025 Anything Goes Halloween

This week's card is a CAS version of our inspiration board. I liked the house and green moon at the lower right hand corner and decided to use a very old creepy house stamp that I've never used, along with a brand new sentiment stamp set (LDRS Creative "Wicked"). I stamped the house twice with black ink - once on a gray scrap and again on a piece of printed green Halloween paper. I die cut a circle from the green image and pasted it over the image on the gray paper. Then I framed it with a black square, stamped the sentiment on a white stitched rectangle that I had die cut a slightly larger square from. I stacked all of the layers and attached them to a white card base. The final addition was one of my favorite Tim Holtz's ghosts - glued with a piece of dimensional foam.

I made a coordinating envelope and then, because our challenge is 'all things Halloween',  started having all kinds of fun with treat boxes - each of them will hold 3 Ghirardelli chocolate squares.

I've been playing around with an old idea that I worked with some years back - Halloween treat boxes for Ghirardelli chocolate squares. I originally made them for Valentine's Day, but I thought it might be fun to produce a bunch of them as I go through the Halloween year and make them coordinate with my card. By the time Halloween comes around, I could have quite a pile of them in lots of different colors. I couldn't remember exactly how to make them,  so I turned to YouTube and found the following tutorial:

I think Diane and Darlene are probably getting anxious to give away these sets of Whimsy dies if we get 25 challenge entries, so let's not disappoint! Get out those green and black Halloween papers and get with it!
