Trick or Treat by Brenda - Create a Focal Point

Hello, crafters and happy Thursday!! Brenda here with a fun Halloween card to share with you today!! Sometimes I find it intimidating to try to create a scene with an entire card front, so I like to create a focal point to draw you into a smaller scene, as I did with the tag here!!

I began by die-cutting the Love Slimline Tag Die from white cardstock. I stamped the spider and web from the Fangs For Being My Friend Stamp Set onto the tag and the witch from the same set onto another piece of white cardstock using InkOn3 Blackout Ink. I colored them with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen, then fussy cut the witch. (There are Coordinating Dies available, but I don’t have them, so I just trimmed her out.)

I trimmed down the tag to size and blended a bit of Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink onto the outside of the tag. The sentiment, from the Ghostly Greetings Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto a black cardstock strip. The sentiment, along with the witch, was adhered using foam adhesive. I threaded orange ribbon through the hole in the tag and tied a sheer orange polka-dot bow to it.

The green pattern paper, from the Celebrate Good Times Paper Pad, was trimmed slightly smaller than A2 and adhered to an A2 white card base. The tag was adhered with liquid adhesive and a few Prismatic Purple Sparkle Gems finish it off.

That’s it for me today!! Thanks for stopping by!! See you next Thursday!!

It started innocently enough. Scrolling through Instagram one evening in early 2025, I stumbled upon a sponsored post promising sky-high returns on crypto investments. The account, CryptoWealthPro, flaunted testimonials, flashy charts, and limited-time opportunities in Bitcoin and Ethereum. As a middle-aged teacher with modest savings, I dreamed of early retirement. I messaged them, and soon a financial advisor named Alex guided me through a sleek app to transfer $20,000 from my bank. Initial profits appeared, luring me to invest more, another $35,000. Then, poof. The app vanished, withdrawals failed, and Alex ghosted me. I'd fallen for a classic pig-butchering scam, my life savings of $55,000 gone in digital smoke. Devastated, I reported to the police, but they said cross-border crypto frauds were tough to crack. Online forums like Reddit's r/scams echoed my despair, with victims sharing horror stories. Amid the gloom, one name kept popping up, Alpha Spy Nest (ASN), a team of forensic experts specializing in blockchain recovery. Skeptical after my trust betrayal, I visited alphaspynest.org. Their site detailed services, digital forensics, transaction tracing, and legal coordination. Reviews on Brainly and DiscussionBucks praised their success in similar cases. Desperate, I emailed alphaspynestmail.com, attaching transaction details. Within hours, they responded. We’ve seen this Instagram ploy before fake profiles funneling funds to mixer wallets. ASN’s team, comprising ex-cyber cops and blockchain analysts, swung into action. They used proprietary tools to map my transfers, from my wallet to a scam exchange, then tumbled through anonymity services. Over a week, they gathered evidence, IP traces, wallet histories, and even linked the scammers to a Southeast Asian ring. Collaborating with international authorities, they froze assets and initiated reversals. The breakthrough came when ASN uncovered a vulnerability in the scammers’ setup of a traceable endpoint wallet. Through legal channels, they recovered 85% of my funds, $46,750 deposited back into my account. The rest covered fees, but it was a miracle. Today, I’m rebuilding, wiser. ASN didn’t just recover money, they restored hope. If you’re scammed, don’t wait, contact pros like them. Beware Instagram lures, verify everything. My story? A cautionary tale turned to victory, thanks to Alpha Spy Nest’s expertise.

In 2024, I’d saved $50,000 in Bitcoin over three years, my ticket to financial freedom. One evening, scrolling Facebook, I saw an ad: Double Your Crypto in 30 Days. It looked legit, polished graphics, testimonials, even a verified-looking page for Quantum Trade Hub. Desperate to grow my savings, I clicked, messaged the admin, and got a warm reply from Sarah, who guided me to a sleek trading platform. I transferred $40,000 in BTC to start. Days passed. Profits showed 10%, 20%. Sarah urged me to invest more. I sent another $10,000 in ETH. Then, silence. The platform glitched, my account vanished, and Sarah blocked me. The Facebook page was gone. I’d been scammed. Panic set in. I filed police reports, contacted my wallet provider, nothing. My savings, my future, evaporated.Sleepless nights followed. I scoured Reddit for hope and found a thread praising Alpha Spy Nest, a crypto recovery firm. Skeptical but desperate, I visited their site, alphaspynest.org. Their team, ex-cybersecurity pros, claimed a 90% success rate. I emailed them, detailing the scam, wallet addresses, and chat logs. Within hours, a recovery specialist replied. We’ve seen this, they said. Pig-butchering scam. We’ll trace it. Alpha Spy Nest worked fast. Using blockchain forensics, they tracked my funds through mixers to a wallet cluster in Eastern Asia. They identified the scammers’ exchange accounts and alerted authorities. Meanwhile, their legal team pressured the platform’s hosting provider. Three weeks in, they sent proof, my BTC was in a seized wallet. They negotiated with the exchange holding the funds, proving my ownership with transaction IDs. I got the email, Funds recovered but not all, My $38,600 BTC, plus $8,000 ETH, was back in my wallet. Alpha Spy Nest charged 15% fair, for saving my life’s work. Today, I’m cautious but grateful. Alpha Spy Nest turned my nightmare into a lesson. If you’re scammed, don’t give up contact Alpha Spy Nest. Email: Alphaspynest@mail.com. They’re the real deal.
