Default Halloween card ideas using...

Non-Halloween stamps? Anybody? I want to make my coworkers some Halloween cards, but don't have any Halloween stamps or sets, and no fun money left this month to buy some. Seems kinda' Limited Supplies Challenge-like, but I scanned the Master List and didn't see this, so thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance!!

Okay, I might have a harvest-y type pumpkin, but still! Beyond that, I'm still tapped for ideas... I wouldn't even know how to use the pumpkin... brain's dead with a sinus infection.

In the gallery I saw cards made to look like Frankenstein, a mummy and I'm not sure what else. I think if you do a search for Frankenstein it'll come up.

Here's an example.

Do you have the circle scallop punch? People have been making some really cute 3-D things with that punch that could easily be modified to go on a card...spider, mummy, jackolantern, etc.

Cut a witches hat out of black cardstock and adhere it to an image with a person or character in it.I am making a Halloween card for my niece with a House Mouse stamp.The mice are drinking a large drink with a straw and I will color the drink green and put witches hats on the mice.

Another cute touch would be to attach a black brad (or color one black with a Sharpie) and draw spider legs coming out of it.Tie a string or ribbon to the brad to make it look like the spider is hanging from a web.

I used Totally Cool once with a black Sharpie and drew cat ears and a black outfit like a cat costume. It was pretty easy. You could probably use other people stamps and do the same thing.

Good luck
