Halloween Treat Box

Now this is a seriously cute little Treat Box for your special little goblins!

I used a half piece of cardstock, measuring 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", then scored it at 2" 4" 6" and 8". Turn it around and score it at 2". The 2" section is your bottom. Cut up to the line and cut the 1/2" score right out. I stamped it all and then glued the bottom together. For the handle I got some wire (from the hardware store) and measured a length of 12", wrapped it around my pencil and then pulled it off and shaped it. I know it's hard to see...sorry!

On each end of the wire, I made a U shape, and inserted it on each side of the box after I had set an eyelet with my Crop-a-dile. These are great for those little mini chocolate bars...which I find hard to keep in my craft room...they keep calling me! LOL

 

What I used:

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Black
Stamp sets: Batty for You, Itty Bitty Backgrounds and Frightful Fence Jumbo Wheel
Accessories: Scallop Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Googlie Eyes, and on the backside of the box I cut out a moon using a 1" punch, discard the punched out piece and reposition the punch until you see a cresent moon shape. Punch again and you have a cute little moon. Wire, and black and pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon for the handle. Eyelets and crop-a-dile.

That's it! Hope you enjoy it. Note to self... I really must take some pictures as I go along, I think it would be much easier than trying to explain what I did!

Sweet Treats

Here's another class card we did using the treat cups, isn't it cute? You can fill these little cups up with so many different things, candy, buttons, confetti, really anything you can dream up! I used the Top Note Bigz Die to cut the Rich Razzleberry cardstock. Then I turned the cut out Top Note piece and positioned exactly on top of the die again (sideways) and ran it throught the Big Shot a second time....magic....you have a darling medallion.

 

What I used:
Cardstock: Black, Dusty Durango, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive
Stamp set: Sweet Centers
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: Background #1 Texturz Plate, Top Note Bigz Die, Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon, Plastic Spider ring with the back cut off.
Treat cup from Stampin'Up!

Each layered piece is sponged around the edges with Rich Razzleberry. I hope you like it!

Autumn Leaves

Happy October!

Wow...I can't believe we're into October already! This is my favourite season, sunny days, crispy cool evenings and the leaves turning fantasic colours...I love it! It's time to curl up in my craft room, put the fire on and cozy up with a good book, right now I'm reading Heartbreaker by Julie Garwood and I'm making deals with myself not to peek. I have to admit, I do peek when things get scary and although I'm better than I was...I still peek sometimes! Shocking, I know! I rattle and poke presents too...LOL! This is one of the cards we made at our September class, it was so much fun to make.

 

Here's what we used:

Cardstock: Dusty Durango and Very Vanilla (Leaves: Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede and Dusty Durango)
Stamps: Wandering Words (Holiday Mini) and Sanded (Background)
Ink: Soft Suede
Accessories: Leaves #2 Original Die, Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon

I used the stylus and mat from the Mat Pack to draw the veins into the leaves then sponged them with Soft Suede. Once I positioned the leaf on the side, I glued it on and trimmed it. If you love Fall, this die is a must have! There are so many projects this would be gorgeous with!

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by!

Supplies used:
Stamp set: Inspired By Nature, Great Friend

Ink: Old Olive
Accessories: Horizontal Slot punch, Ribbon.

Hope you enjoy it, thanks for stopping by!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Hi!

Here's a great colour combination, Pixie Pink and Black...I love it! The cupcake has a little bite out of it, I used my Scallop Circle punch then coloured the icing in with my glue pen and added Dazzling Diamonds to make it pop! The polka dot background was made with the Texture Plate in Background 1 set. These are so much fun to use and it gives a subtle background.

 

How I made it:

Cardstock: Pixie Pink, Black and Whisper White
Stamp set: Cupcake stamp, Warmest Regards (retired)
Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, Black Scallop Square, White Signo Gel pen, Black Organza Ribbon, Texture Background #1 and Dazzling Diamonds.

Hope you like it!

Kraft is one of my favourite colours!

Hi everyone

I'm taking a short break and thought I'd play on the computer and blog this card for you, I had this crazy idea that I would start to reorganize my craft room...what was I thinking?!?! Now I have succeeded in making a total mess and I'm not sure if I'll ever get it sorted out! LOL!!! But I have found a few long lost goodies in my overwhelming stash, so that's good news. This card is one of my favourites, I just love this little bird and I love working with Kraft cardstock, it seems to go with just about every colour!

 

Supplies I used:
Cardstock: Kraft, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirhouette Reinker (retired)
Stamps: Friends 24-7, Itty Bitty Backgrounds, Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel
Punch: Eyelet Border Punch (Also used the same punch, trimmed and crimped to fit around the circle)
Accessories: Circle Nestabilities, Blue Chalk, Stickles, Sizzlet Little Leaves Die, 1/4" Circle punch, Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, tied with linen thread, small pearls.
