Need a quick trick for Halloween festivities this week? How about a cute witch broom? I used a 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Crushed Curry and cut the long edge with my fringed scissors. Wrap it around a 1 x 8 cello bag filled with treats and tie it up with Baked Brown Sugar twine. To keep the cello bag closed, stamp an image from Tee Hee Hee, punch it out and attach it over the closure of the bag.
Very cute, very fast – a perfect combo when you need something right now! Hugs, Fran

I saw a “new to me” technique called Bokeh and gave it a try. The instructions called for paint on watercolor paper so I tried it with reinkers. Wet your watercolor paper and use an aqua painter to apply reinkers all over the piece. In this one I use Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette and Crushed Curry. Dry with a heat gun. Stamp your sentiment in Stazon. Punch some circles from a piece of acetate and use them as a stencil to make White Craft ink circles all over the finished front, Each one is different!
Bravo is a great set for this technique because the words really stand out.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Bravo
Card stock – Watercolor paper, Whisper White
Ink – Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Crushed Curry ( Island Indigo, Pool Party, So Saffron) White Craft ink
Etc – sequins
It’s always fun to try something new! Hugs, Fran

Another Wine Topper – same design as here – but done in Pistachio Pudding. They are kind of addicting 🙂 And here’s a more masculine topper using Santa Stache.
Now I’m wondering if this would fit over a different sort of bottle! Hugs, Fran
Nothing like a bottle of something sparkly as a gift for someone special! This wine bottle topper uses the super cute Mingle All The Way as the perfect stamp for this tag. The tag itself is 3 1/2″ x 9 ” scored at 3″. The bottle neck opening is 1 3/4″ I embellished the tag with Silver Glimmer paper and a cute, cute tag from Under the Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit (page 7 in the Holiday mini – 135865) Then I stamped the sentiment and added some Dazzling Details in the glass.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Mingle All the Way
Card stock – Garden Green, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer
Ink – Memento Tux Black
Etc – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Blendabilities, Star embossing folder, Banner Framelits, Under the Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit, Dazzling Details, Cherry Cobbler ribbon, 1 3/4″ circle punch
So now I have something cute to dress up my gift giving this holiday season – and so do you! Hugs, Fran
