Curvy Keepsake Pumpkin Treat Holder

It's almost Halloween and this Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlet makes the cutest pumpkin treat holder! 

I used Pumpkin Pie card stock for the "pumpkin" punching a 1 3/4" circle on one side.  I used a window sheet to cover the hole.

The leaves are cut from a Botanical Builder Framelit set using Always Artichoke card stock.  I made the tendrils by trimming a 1/8" strip and winding that around a small paintbrush handle.  Use your favorite leaf die or hand cut one!

The tag is Crumb Cake card stock, the greeting is from Jar of Haunts.  I stamped it in Tuxedo Black  ink and hand trimmed it into a tag.

Fill it with a favorite treat – I used Dove dark chocolate pumpkins – and give it to your favorite trick-or-treaters!

Thanks for looking!  Hope you enjoyed this project!

Halloween Decor BOO on Linen Canvas Frame

Halloween decorating is so much fun.  I found these cute 4" stretched linen canvases awhile ago at my Michaels store.  By the time I found them they were on clearance and they only had 3.  Wish I had more! (FYI they were by Make Market and described as Decor Linen Canvas 4 in x 4 in) They work well for my favorite Halloween word "BOO".

This project comes together so fast!  I cut 3 1/4" squares from a sheet of Moroccan Designer Series Paper.   I sponged the edges with my sponge dauber and Soft Suede ink.  Then as an afterthought I used my Gold Wink of Stella pen to on the edges as well.

This paper has a great selection of small geometric prints that are so versatile.

I cut the letters from Basic Black Card Stock using my Large Letters Framelits and painted them with the Gold Wink of Stella as well.  I love the gold shimmer on black -- classic Halloween look IMHO.  In the corner of the "B" block I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black a single spider from the set Jar of Haunts.

On the second "O" I added 3 bats die cut from the Home Sweet Home Thinlits and attached them with scrunched up Mini Glue Dots.

Tried to show the gold shimmer in the photo above.

The panels were attached to the linen with glue dots.  What I love about this is when Halloween is over I will be able to easily remove the panels (and save them for next year) and use the frame for another project.  Is there a 3 letter word for Fall? Spring?  I could use JOY for Christmas, Brr for Winter, Hot for Summer.  Stay tuned.

Thanks for looking!

BOO! Halloween Card

There was an Pumpkin Pie "O" die cut sitting on my desk, and it made me think of a pumpkin so I ran with the idea. I grabbed the Large Letter Framelits and cut the rest of the word. These pumpkins won't scare anyone though.

The Woodland embossing folder  embossed on Tip Top Taupe provides the background.  I only embossed the top 3/4.  The "ground" is Always Artichoke cut from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  I stamped the stem from the Jar of Haunts in Basic Black and used my Blender Pens to add a little color.

To make the embossed trees stand out a little more I used an Aqua Painter to highlight the raised parts then used the Clear Wink of Stella for the lines in the trees.  While I love my little pumpkins, turns out the trees are my favorite element on this card.

Base card is Always Artichoke, the top layer is Tip Top Taupe layered onto Basic Black

Thanks for looking!

Spooky Halloween Jar of Haunts Card

The Halloween set Jar of Haunts has been begging to be used.  The floating eyeballs are my favorite element and the Ghoulish Grunge set is a perfect compliment. Both are in the new Holiday Catalog.

The brick element from Ghoulish Grunge was stamped repeatedly in Sahara Sand onto Very Vanilla Card Stock.  I stamped the cheesecloth in Versamark and embossed it with Whisper White Embossing Powder then I grunged the layer up with a Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede Ink.  The drip is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The jar and eyeballs were stamped with Jet Black Stazon onto Window Sheets.

To ground the jar so it isn't just floating on the page I added a trimmed piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon and some Black Bakers Twine to create the shelf.  The tag was stamped using part of a greeting from Glamper Greetings onto a narrow strip of Very Vanilla. 

I used my Chalk Marker to color on the back of the eyeballs -- the white added contrast and just made them stand out a little more. The base is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock.

Thanks so much for looking!
