Stampin' Up! recently announced the release of the Thinlits Card Dies. They are super simple to use and make instant cards. Below is a card that my stampers will be making at the Card Café event this month and next. I love how the new Best Of Halloween stamp set images fit perfectly inside the label shape. And that Washi Tape across the top is super simple to use – to embellish a project, just tape on!

I took this series of photos so you can see how to open the card. It's just a zig-zag type of fold.

Notice the moon is colored in? The marker color I used was Crushed Curry. Normally you can only get that color when you buy the set of 10 Regal Markers, but now that is one of 10 markers that you can buy singly for a limited time (through the end of October).

Lovin' that Washi Tape! I added more of it across the bottom on the inside of the card.

Not sure how obvious this is in the photos, but I wanted my yellow button to really stand out. So I put a small circle of card stock behind it. It made a huge difference when I added that. It's the little things… 🙂
