Hello my stamping friends. Today's card is part of a fun collaboration I did with my friend Lauren Taylor. Lauren and I have been following each other on social media for years, both loving each others style and recently started chatting more and are now on the Lawn Fawn Fans team together. Recently Lauren saw the Glimmer Hot Foil backgrounds I was making with Opal foil and loved the look, so I sent her some backgrounds to play with. We then decided we should do a collaboration video. So, we are both using Glimmer Hot Foil backgrounds and an Avery Elle Peek-a-Boo stamp set (to two) to create a Halloween card.
You can see my video below to see my creation come together.

You can watch Lauren's video right here. She made three adorable cards that you are going to want to check out!
Now let's take a closer look at this Matchbook card.
This card measures 4-1/4" x 10-1/2", it is scored at 4-1/4", 4-3/4" and 9-1/2"
You then fold it just as if it was a matchbook. Staple the bottom 1" flap so that you can then tuck the front flap into it. I like to cover up the one inch flap with patterned paper so that the staples can not be seen from the front.
This matchbook card has a shaker window on it, meaning the circle is cut into the card base so that you can see through the shaker to the inside of the card.
Here is what the card looks like open and you can see my fun size bag of m&m's tucked in there. Such a fun way to give a Halloween card.
I then used my leftover circles to make a tag.
I just could not waste that fun paper and thought a tag to tie on to a bag of goodies would be lots of fun. I used the witch again, because there is just so many fun ways you can color her in!
I had so much fun doing this collaboration with Lauren. A challenge always gets my creative juices flowing.
