Trick or Treat – but we all know we want treats!  This is a Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bag that has been scored to make it stand it.  I add a tag from Merry Everything and some bats from Project Life Holiday Cheer to make it scary.  Add a circle punch and hang the tag from a band on the top.

Holiday Home 01

Here’s another Halloween idea using Karen Burniston’s House Pivot die and Stampin Up’s Holiday Home.  The tree and clouds are from Karen’s Garden Bench set.  (The clouds are really suppose to be snow)

The sentiment inside is from Ghoulish Greetings.  Lots of black – making it hard to see the details in the photograph.

Poppy 05

Here’s Poppy hanging out for Karen Burniston’s September Challenge!  He’s sitting on an Oval Accordion die just waiting for the fun to begin!  The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Tee Hee Hee and it says “People call me a witch…..like it’s a bad thing.”  Too funny!  I used Karen’s Cloud Edges die for the edges.

Tee Hee Hee 01

It suddenly turned Fall around here this weekend!  A perfect time for Karen Burniston’s Halloween challenge – and a great time to start creating those spooky creations.  I used the Accordion Circle  die with the solid edge and the new Tee Hee Hee set from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini.  On the front, the cauldron, bubbling away. (Those bubbles are some old floral/vase fillers)

Do you think the witch was doing her laundry before the big day?  Or just conjuring up her spooky attire?

Larger Than Life 03

How about a little Halloween Gift box that spells out “Boo” as you turn it?  Easy, easy to make with the new Gift Box punch board and the Larger Than Life stamp set!

On the 4th side I added the skeleton from Freaky Friends –

Larger Than Life 05

I did the images in White Craft ink – and I think the next time I’ll emboss them so they stand out even more. But it’s a cute, fast idea for small candies and I’m going to need a few of them.  Hugs, Fran

For All Things 02

This card is based on the card in the Holiday Mini on page 46.  That card has an envelope behind it but I added the color to the front.  Then I decided to mix it up a bit –

Freaky Friends 01

Boo bags!  These cute bags are made with the Polka Dot Ta A Bag Gift Bags.  I stamped “Boo” with the Larger Than Life Alphabet and made a tag with Freaky Friends. The tag is clipped on with one of the In Color Clothespins.  This is the first one I did – then I realized that when filled, the “boo” no longer shows.  To fix that, I moved the words up about 1 inch.

And added some bats 🙂

Halloween is this week and if you’re still needing a few last minute treat ideas – here you go!  On the left I used the Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit and filled the cello bags with candy corn.  You can find the kit in the Holiday Mini  – page 32 (132792)  There’s a Christmas Kit too!  On the right I simply filled Halloween cups from the Halloween section of my grocery store with candy, stamped a tag using Halloween Bash and tied with some Baker’s Twine.  Really easy and really cute!  Hugs, Fran

Spooky Banner

Here’s the Spooky Banner we made yesterday!  It is a case of the Holiday Mini banner and was so fun to make.  I sprayed the backs of the stencils that come in the kit with a very light coating of spray on adhesive and we used sponge daubers to apply the color. Everything else came in the Halloween Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit (132698).  I ended up with 1 button and 1 circle design left over but several of the gals making these yesterday came up with very creative ways to use up every single embellishment   Always fun to create with friends – Hugs, Fran

Don’t forget that the 25 Year Celebration Sign up Special starts TODAY!
