Boo!  Halloween is coming!  These coffins are boxes from Digital Delights decorated with some retired DSP.  I used Halloween Bash from the Holiday mini catalog to add the Beware.  If you still have the retired bat punch, it fits perfectly on this label.

Since I need quite a few of these, I am using up old every piece of Halloween DSP I can find.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Halloween Bash
Card stock – Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, White Craft
Etc – retired bat punch, Coffin from Digital Delights

It was parents weekend this past weekend for my youngest.  We had a good time at some scheduled events and just visiting (and shopping!)  Hugs, Fran

How funny!  Check out the rhinestones in the center of these ornaments!  Some of them have moved   And I didn’t even notice it until now.  Well – I’d suggest you put the rhinestones in the center of the ornaments instead of willy nilly all over the card!

Card Stock – Whisper White
Ink – Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

A Fall Pop N Cuts card!  For the front of this card I used pieces from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit in the Holiday Mini and some Sweater Weather Designer Series paper. 

The inside is a Thanksgiving/friendship scene featuring my favorite Dress Form insert. 

The banner was made in MDS 2 and the mirror is Label Love with the matching punch and a little bit of silver foil paper for the inside. Her tablecloth is a Doily. 

The turkey is a small oval punch with Build a Blossom legs.  It sits on a circle punch serving platter.  The bowls of cranberries and green beans are also the small oval punch with scallop punches for the cranberries. 

The rug is a Sizzix embossing folder designed by Karen Burniston – works great here!

A Merry Little Christmas to you – and a Season of Style!  I used the Season of Style and the Sizzix Evergreen Tree die to create this card. 

The wainscoting idea is from Karen Burniston herself – so cute on the inside and so easy to do with the Simply Scored Scoring tool!  The sentiment on the left is a

No stamping – but a lot of fun   This little box is an SVG file called “Call Me.”  I turned it into a Santa Hotline – everyone needs one of those, don’t they?  I used the Season of Style Designer Series paper and added some touches of Silver Glimmer paper.

Cute – you can fill it with chocolate in case Santa is busy and you are put on hold!

The words are hard to read.  I will have to try a different font next time.  But that’s the idea!  Hugs, Fran

Have you seen the Extra Large gift boxes in the Holiday mini?  They are really big – 6 x 6″!  And even though I had read the dimensions in the catalog, I was still impressed with the size.  I took one and wheeled Music Note (120327) over the entire box and made a paper bow with the new Gift Bow die (129977) from the Holiday mini.  I added a tag using Love & Joy.  I stamped it once in Old Olive and then again in Cherry Cobbler and cut out the “&” and popped it up. 

My youngest went back to school this weekend.  We packed her up in the middle of a thunderstorm – unloaded in 90 degree weather and then topped it off with more storms – whew!  But she’s there, safe and sound – it was Mom that needed a nap!  Hugs, Fran

Some containers for all your spooky potions!  These are SVG files from SVGCuts.com.  I used Witches’ Brew DSP to make them and some silver foil add accents. 

The tall one has a Halloween Bash tag to let the recipient know to be ware!  (This coordinates with the Label Framelits)

The short jar is decorated with a label that comes with the file.  I added lots of rhinestones and a vintage button.

Supplies
Stamps – Halloween Bash
Card stock – Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Witches’ Brew DSP

Pop N Cuts!  My favorite   Here’s a Christmas card using the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base die and Label insert.  I decorated the outside with Calm Christmas – the dove embossed in silver embossing powder.

On the inside I used Christmas Collectibles and a single stamp – Prince of Peace.  This set goes with the Deco Label Framelits so it works perfectly with the Label insert. 

To get the different colors on the stamp, I inked it up in Pool Party and then went  over the selected words with an Island Indigo Stampin Write Marker.  The ornaments were stamped twice – once in Versamark and embossed in silver and once in Bermuda Bay to punch for the centers.  The ornament lines and accents on the card were cut from the new Silver Foil card stock – so pretty!  The sentiment on the Whisper White piece is half of the sentiment from Calm Christmas – embossed in silver. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Calm Christmas, Christmas Collectibles, Prince of Peace
card stock – Whisper White, Bermda Bay, Silver foil, Winter Frost DSP
Ink – Versamark, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base and Label insert, Deco Label Framelits, Ornament punch, 1/2″ circle punch, rhinestones, Silver ribbon, Scallop Edge punch.

I’ll have some more Halloween for you soon.  Hugs, Fran

Halloween Muslin Bags

Spooky, spooky!  These little treat bags are made from the Mini Muslin bags in the Holiday Mini (132180)  I used the Banner Simply Created Kit (132699) dotted stencil, Classic ink and a sponge dauber to make the polka dots. 

On this one I applied a very retired rub on – and that worked great!  Fun way to use up some these left over pieces

For this one I used the retired bat punch and punched it out 8 times.  I glued a tiny piece of ribbon between the pieces so it can hand from the tie. 

The bag on the left uses Basic Black and Tangerine Tango.  For the one on the right I switched to Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black.  Here’s a hint for working with the stencils – spray the backs with spray adhesive.  Then I store them on window sheets.  This really helps keep them down while working.  I have tried spritzers, daubers and sponges to apply the color – and my preference is daubers. 

Can you tell I’m cleaning out my craft room?  We’re having a stamping garage sale September 13 and 14 and I’m trying to clear things out – and find myself ending up creating with the stuff I’m uncovering!!  Hugs, Fran
