I needed a quick and easy Halloween card to affix to a plate of Macadamia nut and white chocolate cookies that I was going to bake today for my son, Brady. We will be driving to his college to attend his concert this evening, and I thought that his favorite cookies would be a nice surprise, as well as a welcomed treat! And what can be quicker and easier than making a card that showcases the “Flocked Bats” from the Wicked Fun Specialty Designer Series Paper!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
- Let the paper do the talking! Since I was not going to be using this paper for scrapbooking, I thought that I might as well put the bats to good use! How fun to have “Fuzzy Bats” on your card!
- Layer the labels! The “wow” factor on this simple card is the sentiment! After stamping the “Spooky” sentiment from the Wicked Cool set onto Naturals Ivory card stock, it was punched out using the Designer Label Punch, and layered onto a second Basic Black Designer Label. Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry Decorative Labels were also layered.
- Glitz and Glam! Basic Rhinestones further accentuate the sentiment and add a touch of “bling” to this spooky card!
I did have several people ask for details about creating “scrunchy ribbon” like on this card. This video tutorial will explain the process I used.
I hope that you enjoyed today’s quick and easy card, as well as the video tutorial. If you have any questions about the cards that I create, or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away. And remember, your comments are important to me! Until next time…

thank you for the video!! I’ve been wondering how everyone’s getting their ribbon to look so fabulous!
one ? what do you do with the thread after you’ve scrunched your ribbon and stuck it down? Does it need to be knotted?
I love your Ribbon like that… awesome video and card. I love the layered tag, I just did on yesterday. lol Hugs,
What a great idea on using that paper!! I was wondering how to use it just the other day!
I bookmarked another Stampin’ Schach tutorial in my favorites. Loved the scrunchy ribbon technique. My biggest challenge will the threading the needle, too.
The card for Brady is fantastic. Simple use of the fun paper coupled with the perfect use of the rhinestones on the sentiment.
Hugs, M

I’m sure your son will love it! See you CAN make a card that doesn’t have a lot of embellishment. 🙂 This is a great card!
The video is very helpful Ann and I love the sentiment on your spooky card. Mutli-layers just makes it pop with the jewel accents.
Great video!
Such a fun technique….love these quick video tutorials. TFS!
Ann – when you say you layered the labels, how exactly did you do that so that the bottom layer peaked out from behind the top layer? Did you punch two black ones and cut them in half? LOVE the look and am trying to figure out how to recreate it! THANKS for your inspiration!
Hi Ann! Love your “flock” of bats (sorry couldn’t resist)! Your vidoe is wonderful–so helpful and informative. You did a great job. 🙂
Thanks for the tutorial, Ann. I haven’t tried this technique yet, but do want to try it soon.
