I LOVE the new Build a Bear die cuts for the Big shot!!!! I think he is just so cuddly cute and especially in his pumkin costume!!!!! You can make this cute costume with teh Kooky Spooky Die (#117979) This was a super easy card to make. I punched out a big circle in black cardstock to make the eyes and mouth for the Pumpkin face. Just take the black punched out circle and adhere it behind the costume!!!
Oh my favorite stamp set meeting my new favorite embossingfolder, it just doesn't get any better!!!! This is a great match!!! I love the simpleness of this card and the white embossing is so delicate looking. I used Bermuda Bay cardstock, ink and ribbon and just love the way it turned out!!! If you look closely you can see the awesome embossed design on the whisper white cardstock. You can double click on the picture to enlarge.
