I'll admit, the first thing I'd think if I looked at this card is "Who wants to cut out all those spiders? They're cute but . . . ." Not to fear - this super cute spider stamp set has a coordinating die set that is really easy to work with. Stamp your spiders and then pop the coordinating die on top and cut them out in a snap!

I'm always about COLORFUL handmade Halloween cards, so I wanted to give these stamped and die-cut spiders a fun place to land. I started with a sheet of watercolor paper and added a bit of water plus Jane Davenport Inkredible Inks - they're liquid dye inks that react with water. . .lots of fun to experiment with. I just layered and blended the colors together and let it dry for a bit. Next I gathered up some white twine for the spider web, and popped the spiders on top with foam squares.

(I just gotta say it - they're on an AMAZING sale right now, so it's a great time to try out these inks!) I just layered and blended the colors together and let it dry for a bit. Next I gathered up some white twine for the spider web, and popped the spiders on top with foam squares. The twine, foam squares, and enamel dots give this card some really fun dimension.
