Halloween Treat Boxes

Halloween is just around the corner and I have been working on ideas for a quick little treat box for my daughters pre-school class.  I wanted something that would be really simple to make and that would help me use up some of my old Halloween DSP!  I have a lot of retired DSP and I am always looking for ways to use it up so I have a reason to get more.  Using the Petite Pocket Die and the Matchbox Die (retired) I created these little boxes.

 I used some Creepy Crawly DSP as well as Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, More Mustard, and Whisper White Card Stock.   I also used the retired stamp set Booglie Eyes and the current sets  Teeny, Tiny Wishes and Mixed Medley.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving

If you live in Canada then you know that this is a long weekend!  Thanksgiving long weekend!  A wonderful Fall tradition of Turkey, Pumpkin Pie and Family.  Autumn is one of my favourite times of year.  The colours are amazing and it makes for really great crafting.  Weather you are making cards or a scrapbook page, leaves are a great embellishment!   I made a card back in August using the baby wipe technique on the leaves.  Well I loved those leaves so much I had to do it again! 

I also love the new "Core'dinations Card Stock"  here you will see the Early Espresso. This card stock has a monochroamatic core that when cut, ripped or sanded you will see and makes a wonderful effect!

In this card I have used the Woodgrain Embossing folder with the Card Stock and then sanded it down to really bring out the Woodgrain look. 

The base is Crumb Cake as is the label.  I used Hemp twine (unfortunately it is retired) and the naturals Buttons from the current catalogue.  The leaves are from the Gently Falling Stamp Set.  The Sentiment is from the Thankful For.. stamp set that is now retired.

To create the leaves I folded a wet baby wipe into a square and dropped ink into it. I used Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight re-inkers.  I also added the crystal effects but I am not sure they show up in the photos.

 

Anyway,  Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian followers!  Hope you have a great, fun filled, food filled and family filled long weekend!

 

Take care and Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Silhouette Style

My good friend Melanie is celebrating her birthday today and I wanted to make a beautiful card for her!   I have had the set Serene Silhouettes sitting around for some time and I really love it.  Today I went to work creating a lovely silhouette scene. 

I used Sponges for the sunrise in the colours of Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango and Real Red.   I used Basic Black for the image and my brayer for the hill!   The Paper is in the same colours of Tangerine, Daffodil and Black. 







Happy Birthday Melanie ... I will have your card to you Saturday ;)

Take care and Thanks for looking!

Things to Note ..
