Bat card made using the NEW Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge.

Hello, everyone!

I know we are a long way from October, but this little bat card has been begging to be made. I might just cut a bunch of these and glue lollipops on the inside for my son's class. How cute would that be!?!

The card was made using the NEW Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge and the new Halloween paper being released from Close To My Heart tomorrow morning.

Make sure you check back in tomorrow to get a direct link to order the new cartridge. It will not be available for purchase until 9:00 AM (MDT), so don't stay up late Tuesday night thinking you can place an order at midnight. I will keep my eyes on the site and will let you guys know immediately when it is ready for purchase. If you follow my blog on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Courtney-Lane-Designs/250179441767343) you will get ordering updates immediately!

All supplies are from Close To My Heart except for the ribbon.
This stamp set is one that coordinates with the Artiste cartridge and will be available for purchase separately.
The 'Halloween' word art is on the cartridge and I welded 'happy' together.

Here is the stamp set.

Your bat card is adorable. Great idea to put a sucker or something in it. (A pencil would also work for those school districts that frown on candy.) TFS.
