Halloween Projects Pictures!

As promised, a day late, here are some pictures of the kids doing their little chocolate bar wrappers.  Owen had disappeard by this point to go watch tv.  They were working so hard they didn't notice me taking pictures!  You can click on the smaller pictures to see them in a larger window.  As you can see in the big picture background that I am painting the kitchen Tangerine Tango, not done yet but soon!  Have a safe and Happy Halloween!! 
 
 
 

Melon Mambo Flower Box!

Ok!  I know three posts in one morning!  Yesterday was my first day alone(all the kids went to school) in like 3 weeks and my brain was on fire!  Not literally!!  

Colors:  melon mambo, whisper white

Accessories:  sweet treats cup, large oval punch, melon mambo polka dot grosgrain ribbon, medium cello bag, Big Shot with the Fancy Favor Box die, melon mambo designer prints paper, shimmer paint, 1-3/4" circle punch

Stamp set:  Sweet Centers

After cutting out my Favor Box I cut a hole using the 1-3/4" circle punch in one side.  I filled my sweet treats cup with the Breast Cancer M&Ms that I bought the other day.  I stamped and cut out my flower petals and dabbed them with shimmer paint.  For the white petals I used the large oval punch(snip one end off).  After I secured my treat cup I adhered all of the petals and then assembled the box.  Inside my box is a cello bag filled with Hershey's Kisses and tied with the polka dot ribbon!

 

Weekend Sketch Challenge!

So this is my first attempt at Gretchen Barron's Weekend Sketch Challenge!  My downline Erin does it all the time, figured I would give it a try!  Let me know what you think!!

Colors:  old olive, chocolate chip, real red, very vanilla

Accessories:  Big Shot, petals a plenty embossing folder, real red 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, scallop edge punch, champagne shimmer paint, merry moments designer series paper

I stamped my image using black StazOn ink and colored using my stampin' write markers in old olive, real red and pumpkin pie.  After running my vanilla through the Big Shot I used some champagne shimmer paint on a stipple brush to add a bit of glitz.  I also edged my snowman with shimmer paint.  Have a great day!!
 

Halloween Basket!

Good morning everyone!  Wow, so I have to tell you!  This morning I was up a little earlier than normal and it was still dark out!!  What a shock to the system.  Do you remember that comercial where the woman is sitting at her desk and it is dark outside she looks at the clock to find out it is like 4:15 and starts crying??  Makes me laugh every time I see it because it is so true!!  Anyway enough of my ramblings this morning and on to today's project.  

Colors:  pumpkin pie, old olive, basic black, perfect plum

Accessories:  Big Shot, pumpkin and pumpkin faces die, Basket die, grosgrain ribbon in basic black, perfect plum and pumpkin pie, crimper, Cast a Spell dsp

Using my Basket die and Big Shot I cut out the front and back of the basket, then I made a small box for the middle.  I used dsp for my pumpkin and attached his face.  For the chocolates, these are the York Peppermint Pattie wrappers solution that I came up with yesterday!  Basically they are just a chocolate bar wrapper in a smaller size.  I cut squares of dsp 4"x4" and using sticky strip I put them around the patties.  Using my crimper I did the ends.  Pretty simple huh??  This was really quick to put together and it holds 4 peppermint patties!  Just think, change your dsp and make it for any holiday!  Enjoy.

 

Fancy Favor Halloween Box!

Good morning all!  I know, it's morning and I am posting for you!  I finally got the Fancy Favor Box die for the Big Shot, and I am so happy that I did!  So I was playing happily yesterday.  This is a gift for my friend Cindy, she works too much to be on my blog so I can show you!  It is filled with York Peppermint Patties.  Would you believe they changed the packaging for the patties?  They are not in the nice little circle packages anymore, they are in a sealed package!  So, I had already punched everything and made do with what I had.  I do have another idea for them....  Wait and see.  

Colors:  pumpkin pie, basic black, perfect plum, old olive

Accessories:  scallop circle punch, 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" circle punches, Big Shot with the Fancy Favor Box die, Cast a Spell designer series paper, perfect plum 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, crimper, silver brads

Stamp set:  Little Boo

These are the treats inside the box, I know the picture is a little blurry, but you can see the silver sticking out where it shouldn't have.  But they are still cute!  So using the stamp set and basic black ink I stamped a bunch of ghosts and popped them out with my 1-1/4" circle punch, matted with the 1-3/8" circle punch and then the scallop circle.  I did this for both sides of my patties.  For the stuffing inside the box I crimped my colors of cardstock and cut thin strips.  For my handle I cut a strip of basic black and attached it using the silver brads.  Have a wonderful day!!

 

Boo Container!

So here is what used to be a mini M&Ms container!  Would you believe 6 Hershey's Kisses fit in there???  I know I didn't either! 

Colors:  pumpkin pie, perfect plum, old olive, basic black

Accessories:  1-1/4" & 1-3/8" circle punches, 1" circle punch(it is on the top to cover the big M), basic black 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, natural hemp, Crop-a-Dile, cast a spell designer series paper

I used a scrap piece of the dsp that was just sitting on my table!  I also used sticky strip to adhere it to the container!  The stamp I used is the Little Boo(not sure if that is the proper name),  on the very back page of the catalogue.  Now, who should I give this one to??  Have a great night!! 

BOO! x2

Good day everyone!  Sorry about the late post tonight!  The kids and I have been working on Halloween treats for their classes.  Everyone has been helping!  I will have pictures of that tomorrow.  Since everyone in my house has been sick I haven't had much play time at all!  It was killing me.  So even with Owen home sick today, he was watching a movie, I slipped into my stampin' room for some fun!  I hope you enjoy!!

Colors:  perfect plum, old olive, basic black, pumpkin pie

Accessories:  Big Shot with the large alphabet, sweet treat cups, Cast a Spell dsp, perfect plum and pumpkin pie 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, 1-3/4" circle punch and some mini M&Ms

These were quick to put together.  And fun I have to say.  Since I used the mini M&Ms for this project I had an empty container to use for the next one! 

 

Delightful Decorations Card!

Hey everyone!  A happy Suday to you all!  I hope everyone's day is awesome!  It is beautiful and sunny here, a nice change from the dreary rain!!

Colors:  very vanilla, old olive, chocolate chip, real red, kraft

Accessories:  ornament punch, the ribbon is from the mini catalogue and the name is escaping me at the moment, dazzling diamonds glitter, 2-way glue, slot punch

I used the Delightful Decorations stamp set for this one.  I stamped and punched all of my images and added some dazzling diamonds glitter.  The slot punch was used to tie my ribbon around.  Have a great day!!
 

Snowflake Baggie!

Good Friday morning everyone!  It certainly looks like fall now around here!  A good wind last night blew almost all of the leaves off the trees!  I had fun making this little package last week.  I just love having the ability to decorate my own cello bags, so easy and fun to do!  Enjoy!

Colors:  bermuda bay, basic black

Accessories:  medium cello bag, StazOn white ink, bermuda bay polka dot grosgrain ribbon, Crop-a-Dile, Big Shot with the Scallop Circle die and Clear Circle die, iridescent ice emboss powder, curly label punch

I used the stamp set Christmas Punch which is a Hostess Level 2 set.  To ink the stamp I used my basic black and bermuda bay stampin' markers.  I stamped some snowflakes with bermuda bay ink and embossed some using VersaMark and iridescent ice emboss for the topper.  Hope you like!  Have a great day!!
 

Itty Bitty Halloween Characters!

Now do you see what I mean about having too much fun??  Actually I am pretty sure I giggled the entire time I was making these!  Inside these packages are the little fun sized Hershey bars.  

Colors:  close to cocoa, chocolate chip(wolfman), old olive, basic black(witch), basic black(bat), whisper white, creamy caramel(mummy) and they all use basic black and whisper white

Accessories:  1/2" circle punch for all the eyes, nose and mouth for the wolfman, nose and mouth for the witch, scallop oval and wide oval punches for the bat wings and the boho flower punch for the bat's teeth, the Crop-a-dile made all the pupils and the witch's wart

These are too stinkin' cute I do have to say!!  The picture below is the witches so you all can see the size of the minis!  Have a wonderful evening!!
