Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!

I made these little treat packs for my sons class.  The number I needed to make kept going up and so by the time I was done two of his closest friends had to get their loot in plastic Halloween bags (sad face).

To make these I used orange 12 x 12 card stock, the stamped images from the Workshops On The Go Spellbound Cricut Kit, and the dimensions and ideas from this kit along with the Cricut Artiste Collection Cartridge to make the boxes and faces.  The paper is all from my stash; paper not cookie.  

Inside we filled food safe plastic bags with candy from you guessed it:  Bulk Barn!

Now off to trick or treat across the city in the snow and see friends.

Now, don't worry it's not that awful outside it's only -7 degrees Celsius and with the windchill -13 (which correlates to about 19 degrees Fahrenheit and with windchill about 9 degrees), and my dear friend made us hot chocolate before we headed out to the next stop.

 Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Hot Chocolate Christmas Package

I know it's not even Halloween yet, however that has never stopped Costco from having the Christmas stuff out early.

I found the case of Christmas flavored Hot Chocolate packages there on the weekend, and decided that this year instead of just a ribbon and tag, I would make a quick gift wrap for the packet when giving out to co-workers etc.

I used a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock (probably my favorite color - my car, camera, phone, casserole dishes, small appliances...).

I cut the card stock at 4 1/4 x 11.

I scored it at: 4 7/8, 5 1/8, and 10".

I used the scallop edge framelit for the fold over edge. The snowflake image stamped all over is from the Make a Mitten stamp set.

I used the Windows framelits for the center image, paper is from the Snow Festival Designer Series Paper set and Very Vanilla.

The hot chocolate mug is from the Scentsational Season stamp set.

I closed the package with a self adhesive piece of velcro from the dollar store.

Here's what it looks like inside:

And yes, I did drink one of these while making this craft as it is trying to snow outside!  Could be worse, I could be in Saskatoon today.....

Check out this picture of Saskatoon earlier today!  Ah, to be home.....

Fold Out Christmas Card

This is the last card that I made at Karina's class the other night.

I love the fold out center with the remnant ornament leftover on the inside.  Brilliant!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Ornament Christmas Card

This is one of the cards that I made at Karina's the other night.  I think I might have to make a few more of these for Christmas as they are pretty neat!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Halloween Photo Tray Board

For the past month or so, Stampin Up has been running a recruiting promotion for getting a photo tray Halloween Display Board.  Now, since I will never recruit anyone, I decided to make my own board.

I bought these boards at Hobby Lobby in Billings, MT during the summer, because they looked like something I could use.  

The frame is black, however, I did use some Crackle Distress paint that I had left over from other projects to "age" and "witch" it up.

Stamp set used in this are:  Border Banter, Toxic Treats, Jack of All Trades, and Sweets for the Sweet.

I had so much fun making this!!!

Here is a close up of each frame:

Googly eye are required for everything!

I sewed around this block to get the "crow" foot prints.

 The broom is made from grosgrain ribbon (cut off the edge and it will fray).

 More googly eyes for the mystery monster!!!

 A collection of all the Halloween sayings.

Candy........

Crows on the fence post.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
