THEM BONES SUITE COLLECTION

Let’s start with the star of the show, the BAG OF BONES Bundle. This versatile bundle includes a unique collection of bone-themed stamps and coordinating dies. With these, you’ll be able to create endless possibilities for your spooky creations. Whether it’s skeletons, skulls, or other bone designs, you’ll have all the tools you need to bring your vision to life.

To add an extra touch of intrigue, we’ll incorporate the THEM BONES Designer Series Paper. This stunning paper is a Halloween lover’s dream, with its variety of spooky designs and patterns. From hauntingly beautiful skulls to eerie graveyard scenes, this paper provides the perfect background to complement and enhance our card fronts. The rich colors and intricate details will captivate anyone who receives your handcrafted masterpiece.

Now, let’s talk about the element that will truly elevate this project: the GLOW-IN-THE-DARK Specialty Paper. Can you imagine the excitement when your recipients see their cards glowing in the dark? This paper adds a magical touch to our Halloween-themed creation and takes it to a whole new level of spookiness. Whether it’s ghostly dog shapes or glowing skeletons, the possibilities are endless with this specialty paper.

Mummy Wrappings

But let’s not forget our “crypt robber” and their precious loot – the bones! We’ll create a skeleton mummy using Basic Black cardstock embossed with WHITE EMBOSSING Powder. The mummy’s loosely desheveled mummy wraps reveal the bones falling out! The mummy wrappings are made with the Idea-ology Mummy Cloth, adding an authentic touch to our spooky character. And to complete the look, we’ll use Distress GRIT-PASTE in “CRYPT” to provide a tinted, translucent surface with black flecks. This will create a textured effect around our “stone” crypt, making it look like it’s been standing for centuries.
