Glittery Things That Go Bump in the Night


Hi - Jean Okimoto here - with another reason why you NEED Spooktacular this month.  Just stamp your background with it - and heat-set or emboss it with detail clear powder - then add a bunch of die cuts, glitter and a few accenting brads.  That's it - your Halloween card is done!
