Hello friends ~ In the course of trying to use up printed papers from my vast paper stash, I recreated a card design from June. You can see the original post here.
I was able to use up printed papers that have been sitting idle for many years. To be honest, I don't even recall what company they were from as they were already cut into. If these papers look familiar and you know the company, let me know in the comments. I'll edit this post to give credit where due.
I recycled a piece of cardboard packaging from Tim Holtz, as you can see on the message panel. That is one of his signature designs you can find in his ephemera packages. I cut it using an old Spellbinders Label die, stamped a message and added a black kitty sticker from Simple Stories. The pumpkin sticker is from the same pack.
You can see another great advertisement on the back of the card for Esmeralda's Monster Cream. I might need to add that to my nightly skin care routine. (wink)
This card turned out super fun! I hope you enjoyed your visit today.
I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:

Your title had me intrigued right from the get-go Birgit, and you did not disappoint!! This card is AMAZING! It's been so long since I've made one of those tri fold cards and a slim line one at that, but I love it! You filled it with so many awesome papers, especially the monthly rent a cat! Haha...love that! Loving all the stars and the monster cream add on the back too! You really nailed it out of the park with this one my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Look at you go!!! Very clever & creative! Looks awesome my friend! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Two Old Bats challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

This card made my vintage-lovin' heart go pitter patter! I don't recognize the Rent-a-cat paper, but the witch and boo paper, I believe, came from Crafty Secrets. I used the same image on a 3D Halloween item I made several years ago! They had the best stuff! LOVE all your images and elements!
Oh, yes, I remember that awesome card and now it's looking amazing for Halloween! Love all these fun papers and ephemera, especially the rent-a-cat and monster cream, tee hee. You really know how to use your papers. What a treat, Birgit!
Has that deal expired yet? I fear however that my husband would NEVER return it!
I love every single element of this clever card, Birgit!

It certainly is a fun design and you have made great use out of these papers, at first I was wondering if it was Graphic 45, but I really don't know, so fun!
Oh how fun! Love the stair-steps of stars and your fun fold! Spooktacular, my friend!
