Check out this spooky tree picture frame!
I found it last year at my local hobby store and it sat for an entire year full of strangers photos. My husband was starting to get creeped out by the random people looking at him every day. But, as soon as I bought Spooky Bingo Bits, I knew just what I wanted to do with it.
Here's what I did:
- I stamped the Spooky Bingo Bits images in VersaMark ink on different colored cardstock. Note: I stamped two of each image - this frame is double sided.
- I then heat embossed each image with Black Stampin' Emboss powder to give each image a uniform look.
- After I set my images with the heat tool, I stamped over the image with the Dot, Dot, Dot single stamp in the same ink color as the card stock for a monochromatic effect (all images except the moon - I wanted that one to pop).
- I punched the images out using my circle punches and simply trimmed the edges until they fit into the frames.
You like? I am so happy I finally made use of this spooky tree. Spooky Bingo Bits has SO many uses - stay tuned to my blog (subscribe) to see more Halloween ideas. My head is full of ideas to share!

Thank goodness you removed the "strangers" and replaced them with these adorable bingo bits. Love the layered pattern. Are the jolly bits on tap for a Christmas tree? Hugs, Auntie

That tree is perfect! It's as if the Spooky Bingo Bits were made with that tree in mind. Great idea! Hope to see it decorated for the coming holidays.

That is just darling! I love the way you do this. The spooky bingo bits tree is very very awesome. It's like the ideal Halloween bingo product. I wonder though - could we perhaps jazz it up in time for the holidays? We've not much time left - lol!!! I can see it now - Santa and Rudolph and all the other cool critters and animals on the sleigh - elves and gnomes and little workers. Would be a terrific bingo gift no? I'm looking forward to my holiday in Swansea Wales. Until then - keep on gaming and enjoy the Festive Season and all that bingo has to offer - au revouir!!!
