31 Days of Halloween - Day 25 - Eye See You!

Day 25???? Oh Snap!!! Today's project was inspired by a matchbook project I saw on pinterest with lifesaver candies as eye balls. I saw it and thought it would be adorable to turn the eyeballs into a tag that you could pull up to reveal the sentiment along with the eyes.

I had an absolute blast making these adorable treats. I laughed a bunch in this video. I'm such a dork. 

This project is a very simple one. 

Halloween Nights DSP 6 1/2 x 2 1/2  Scored on the long side at 2 1/2, 3, 5 1/2, 6 and scored at 1/2 on the short side. This will create your box.

Pumpkin Pie Card Stock 2 3/8 x 3

Basic Gray Card Stock 1 x 6 1/2  (for belly band) scored on long side at 

After you build the box, stamp the tag and then adhere the eyeballs to the tag. Once you slide the tag in the box, the eyes will be hidden in the box!

If you want to watch the video, you can do that here.

Tomorrow we will be working on a card with a sponging technique. So be prepared to get inky!!!

Until next time...

31 Days of Halloween - Day 24 - Owl Candy Rocker

"Owl" be rocking and a rolling all the way till Halloween with this sweet rockin' owl! I just love him! I made him with just a few scraps of paper and some punches.

He is the cutest little rocker I have ever seen! I used the owl builder punch for his body and 2 paper clips for his "legs". I used the tree punch and the word window punch for his hat. And I added a small bow from the cookie cutter Christmas punch from pumpkin pie glimmer paper. I just used plain ole scotch tape to adhere him to the Hershey Nugget.

If you want to watch the video, you can do that here.


Come join me for day 25 where we will be making another sweet treat holder!

Until next time...

31 Days of Halloween - Day 23 - Wreath of Candy

I told you that I was not going to be using the cookie cutter Halloween set for a while, didn't I? I promised. And I try not to break my promises. Other than the smaller images in that set, I won't be using it for any of the future projects either. *Gasp* I'm trying to use sets other than that one and the Jar of Haunts. However, I did use the candy corn and sentiment from the jar of haunts for this card.  Now I'm not saying they are gone for good, just that I am branching out with other sets.  We need to use all of our stamps. We don't want anyone getting jealous. ~Wink

Here is our subtly Halloween-y card using a traditionally non-Halloween stamp set.

This one was a fun one. I saw the idea of a gray wreath on pinterest. It was hung on a door and had ghosts and witches as decorations on it. I took the gray color as inspiration and came up with this card. It is just whisper white card stock with a touch of Halloween night DSP and a faux bow. What's a faux bow? Ahhhh.... young grasshopper.... watch and learn here.

I actually learned the faux bow from my amazing upline, France Martin. She rocks. Hard Core.

Let's see... what does my crystal ball say we have in store for tomorrow? "Owl" keep it to myself...

Until next time...

31 Days of Halloween - Day 22 - Curvy Critters

Hey Y'all! Glad you're here to "observe the curve" with me! Today's project is the adorable Frankenstein curvy keepsake box! I made his buddy already so he wouldn't be lonely. Dracula will keep him company at night so he doesn't get scared when the lights go out. Muwahahaha.

I saw these adorable boxes on pinterest and I just had to recreate them. I am absolutely smitten with the Frankie one. For two reasons... One, because as most of you know, I have a cat named Frankie. And I often call him Frankenstein. Along with Frank Sinatra, Frankfurter, Frank and Beans,... well, you get the idea! And the other reason is his face. Just look at it. Look at it! He looks so clueless and adorable just like the real Frankenstein! You could fit loads in these boxes. If you've ever made anything with the curvy keepsakes die, then you know just how roomy they are. I'm not saying that I dream of Jeannie would want to build a summer home there, but, they would hold plenty of gumballs or something.

Come back Sunday for another card video made with a wreath stamp set. A wreath you say??? Yes, A wreath I say!!! Please, don't be amazed, I'm just a little southern girl from Alabama who colors outside the lines. ;-)

Until next time...
