     I have a super fun and cute project to share with you today!  I absolutely love making Halloween treat holders and the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies makes the perfect box for treats.  You'll find a complete supply list at the end of this post.

     Isn't this adorable?

    Of course, I started by using the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies and Basic Black card stock to make the pillow box.  Stampin' Up! has even created a video to show you how easy this is to make.  Here's the video:


    Did you watch the video?  Isn't it amazing how easy that is?  I love having tools that help me make projects that are so easy!

    After assembling the pillow box, I wrapped a 2" piece of Happy Haunting DSP around the center of the box.

    Next to go on was the black Spider Web Dollie.  Oh my gosh these are spectacular!  Already die cut and ready for you to assemble on your projects.  I adhered this with the new Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  This is a must-have for adhering intricate dies and pieces.



    The witch and the pumpkin were stamped on a scrap piece Very Vanilla card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with a Blender Pen and Basic Black, Hello Honey, Rich Razzleberry, Wild Wasabi, Cucumber Crush, Pumpkin Pie and Pacific Point ink.  I used the White uni-ball Signo Gel Pen in the center of Cucumber Crush eyes.  They were then cut out and adhered to the Spider Web Dollie using Stampin' Dimensionals.

    The sentiment was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a piece of Very Vanilla and punched out using the Washi Label punch.  It, too, is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

    I hope you enjoyed this fun Halloween treat!

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Have you seen the Among the Branches Bundle in the Holiday Catalog?  The bundle includes the Among the Branches Photopolymer stamp set and the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I am in love with this new embossing folder!  I see many projects with this in my future!

    Today I'm sharing with you a card we made during my September Stamp Club.  We used this awesome bundle along with a couple of very cool techniques!

    CASE'd from Michelle Zindorf


    The stunning background on this card was made using a masking technique and some brayering.  We started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and positioned the Post-It note punched circle for the moon into place.  Then the brayering began!  The sunset background was made by brayering Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and finally a little Rich Razzleberry right over the top of the Post-It note.


    Once the brayering was complete, the piece was ran through the Big Shot using the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  A little Soft Suede ink was added with a Sponge Dauber to make the trees really pop.  The birds and the owl from the Among the Branches Photopolymer stamp set were added with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink.


    The spiders and the sentiment are from the A Little Something stamp set.  They were stamped on a piece of Vellum card stock using the Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  The brackets on the end were made by cutting the sides off of a piece of Basic Black card stock that was punched using the Label Bracket Punch.  This is an excellent way to conceal your adhesive when using vellum!  There are Glue Dots behind the black label pieces to adhere the sentiment to the card front.

    Trick or Treat Muslin Bag

    Today's project is a SUPER cute Mini Muslin Bag all ready to fill with candy for Halloween.




    Isn't it adorable?  This was really fun to make!  I think some of my co-workers will be getting these for Halloween.

    I started out by using a Mini Muslin Bag (BTW you get 8 of these for only $9.95!), the Dots & Stripes Decorative Mask, a Sponge Dauber and Tangerine Tango Classic Ink.  You can see a photo of the Decorative Masks below.

    I simply laid the Dots Decorative Mask over the Muslin Bag, inked up the sponge Dauber with the Tangerine Tango ink and "colored" in the circles.  Super easy!





    Here's the picture from the catalog showing the Dots & Stripes Decorative masks.  These are great for making a quick background for any project!





    Here's a close-up of the tag.  The foundation of the tag starts with Basic Black Card Stock cut with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.  Next is a layer of Tangerine Tango Card Stock cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits and pierced around the edges with the Occasions Paper Piercing Pack.  On top of that is the cute candy corn from Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.  It has been cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits.  Finally, the sentiment is from the Good Greeting Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  It's finished off with a Tangerine Tango Candy Dot and a couple of Frosted Sequins.

    Fall Fest & Fun Fall Framelits

    Fall is my favorite time of year.  While it seems to be here a little early this year, I'm loving this weather!  Today's card is a super cute one featuring the Fall Fest stamp set and coordinating Fun Fall Framelits Dies Bundle from the Holiday Catalog.  Gotta love saving money with those bundles!!

     I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) this card from Stampin' Up! demonstrator Kristi Gray.  It's just so stinkin' cute!  You'll find a list of all of the supplies I used at the end of this post.


    The card base is Basic Black cut at 4 1/4' x 11" and scored  at 5 1/2".  I then cut 2″ off of the front panel up to my score line at 5 1/2".  So the card opens like this:  

    The front panel is layered with a 5 3/8" x 2 1/8" piece of Crushed Curry card stock and a 5 1/8" x 1 7/8" piece of Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper. 

    The pumpkins are stamped on Whisper White card stock in Tangerine Tango and then the faces were added with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The leaves were cut out of Crushed Curry and Basic Black card stock and adhered using Glue Dots.  I topped them off with some tiny bows made from Tangerine Tango Baker's Twine -- also adhered with Glue Dots.  The front two are popped up with a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals.  Here's a close up:



    The inside of my card has a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White card stock.  It is stamped with a sentiment from the new Good Greeting hostess set.  This set is just full of fabulous sentiments!
