Hey there! One thing I love to do is take a seasonal stamp set and use it for something different than you expect. My brother recently had shoulder surgery and I wanted to make him a get well card. I used the mummy from the Cookie Cutter Halloween set to create this:

 I used Basic Black for the card base, then embossed Basic Gray with the Cable Knit Dynamic folder.

TIP FOR USING THE CABLE KNIT FOLDER: Spritz your card stock lightly with water before embossing. This will allow the folder to deeply emboss without cracking the card stock.

I use dimensionals to adhere the embossed layer to the card front.

 I stamped Whisper White with stamped-off Smokey Slate using a Timeless Textures stamp. After I stamped the mummy over it with Basic Gray ink, I punched with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. I colored around the outside edges with a Blender Pen and Basic Gray ink. I cut the background layers with Lots of Labels Framelits, and added loops of Silver Metallic Thread behind the dimensionals I used to adhere the mummy.

I kept the inside clean-and-simple, adding a 1/2" x 5 1/4" strip of Halloween Night Specialty paper along the sides.
