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!

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?

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 –
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
