Halloween Spooky Ghost Interactive Card - CTMH FaBooLous PullTab HalloweenBuddiesIsaac GotCandy

Tried out the CTMH Pull Tab die yesterday after watching a video on how to use it. The important part to me was figuring out the placement of images (what was to pop up as well as what was around it) and foam tape (on back of cardstock layer) that keeps the pull tab from moving side to side..

Enjoyed making this Spooky Ghost Halloween interactive card. Used a couple different CTMH Halloween items. 

I have an extra of the CTMH Pull Tab die and if you place an order (minimum $20) on my CTMH site (click on right sidebar) by Nov. 20, I'll draw a name from all that places an order >= $20 order and I'll mail you the CTMH Pull Tab die.















Supplies

CTMH: cardstock - avocado, black, sundance, white,

  Got Candy (including zip strip)

  die - pull tab

  stamp/die - fa-boo-lous (ghost)

    Halloween Buddies Isaac (haunted house)
