Hello my friends!

Adding googly eyes to critters on cards gives characters an instant personality, making them more lively and expressive. They also add a touch of humor and whimsy, making your cards more playful and fun for the recipient.

Tip: If your glaze/paste has lost moisture from not being used in a while, remove the needed amount from the container, add water, and mix well to reactivate it. I like to transfer the glaze into a plastic shot cup for mixing. Add small amounts of water at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
To add dimension to the sentiment, I die-cut the words three times, glued, and stacked them before applying the sparkly glaze layer.
I used one of the Fabulous Foiling Festive Halloween A2 Card Fronts on the inside of the card. This should leave enough room to add a personalized message.
