I just used scraps for the colored CS, so I have no idea specifically what colors/brands they were. Definitely need a strong adhesive for this card. I used my ATG. The stamps came from the $1.50 bin at Michael's. I cut the pop-up pumpkin out by hand and used a texture plate from Fiskars in my Cuttlebug to emboss the web. Then I used a glue pen to outline the web and then dipped it in Dazzling Diamonds glitter. There was glitter EVERYWHERE!!! ...To the point that it wound up being a bit of a "trick" on the recipient, who had to do some fancy explaining to his buddies after he opened it in his car and didn't realize he had glitter all over his hands... and his clothes... and his face until it was too late. Unintentional, but HILARIOUS! I think it's my best card story to date... Lol. I'm so mean!! TFL!

Don't you just love the days when cards become stories?! Thanks for sharing - your story made me smile and gave me a happy boost.
I love your card and thanks for giving me the courage to try using my Fiskars plates in the cuttlebug again. I haven't been very successful in the past. This card is so much fun that I WILL try again.

I found the trick to getting a good image with the Fiskars plates is to give your CS a spritz of either water or rubbing alcohol (which is what I use because it dries faster) first and to use the Spellbinders embossing mat with it. Thanks for the compliments! :o)
