Cutting the Bat: 
Start by die-cutting the pieces for the bat using the Lovely Layers: Bat Dies. I chose a mix of dark gray and black cardstock to give the bat a spooky yet cute look. You will have to cut two of each piece to finish off both sides of the bat. Attach a clear thread down the center of the front bat before gluing on the back die-cut pieces. You will have to use the bad side of the die cuts so that the die cuts line up with the front. Trim anything that doesn't line up if necessary.

Background Design: 
For the background, I selected a skull-and-heart pattern from the Sweet & Spooky Paper Pad. The contrast of the soft pink hearts against the dark skulls gives the card a perfect Halloween vibe while keeping it playful.

Spinner Element: The spinner aspect of this card is what makes it extra fun! I used the Sweet Stacks Ovals to create an oval window in the center of the card. To assemble the spinner, I attached the clear thread to the top and bottom of the card base, securing it tightly with tape. For added stability, I pulled the thread ends to another area of the card base, secured them again with tape, and then trimmed off any excess. Finally, I adhered the top panel to the card front, sandwiching the thread between two layers of cardstock. This clever construction allows the bat to spin freely when the card is opened, adding a playful, interactive element that’s sure to delight!

Sentiment: 
The sentiment "I'm batty about you" was stamped using the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink onto a piece of pink cardstock. I then die-cut it using the coordinating Sweet Halloween Dies and adhered it below the spinner window.

Finishing Touches: 
To add a bit of sparkle, I embellished the card with the Sweet & Spooky Gem Stickers from the new Falloween Release. These stickers add just the right amount of shine to make the card pop.
