3D Challenge w/ Vicki

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's Halloween today and time for another 3D Challenge with my friend, Vicki!

Every other Saturday we make something other than a card and share it on our blogs.

We've been doing this now since the beginning of September and I have enjoyed it, alot!

My 3D project this week I made a few weeks ago as a treat holder for Kelsey!

I already sent her a card for Halloween but since she has to work all day today I am going to take it to her apartment and leave at her door so when she comes home from work she will find it waiting on her.

I think she will love it!

I used a Stampin Up Coffee Cup Carrier and decorated it with Halloween Paper using the Magic In This Night DSP. The bats are diecut with the Halloween Magic Dies directly from the one DSP print.

I added black shred paper in the bottom of the box then added a bag of candy & a decorated coffee cup that I placed a Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K Cup inside for her to make. 

I tore apart a coffee cup and created a template with it so I could wrap DSP around them! 

Worked like a charm!

I used stamps from the Ghoulish Goodies set as well as the Hallows Night Magic set.

I diecut some bats from the smaller bat dies with the new Black Glimmer Paper!

That paper is awesome! Not thick at all and the glitter does not come off!

Anyways, I decorated everything with some Black Glimmer Paper Bats and attached tags on the cup and bag of candy. I used the Black Glittered Ribbon for this project as well as that amazing Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon! Lastly, I added some Iridescent Pearls and called it done!

Project Details:

Stamps: Ghoulish Goodies, Hallows Night Magic

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Black Glimmer Paper, Magic In This Night DSP

Accessories: Halloween Magic Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Coffee Cup Carrier, Coffee Cup, Cello Bag, Black Glittered Ribbon, Sillver Metallic Mesh Ribbon, Iridescent Pearls, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have had these Coffee Cup Carriers since July and back during the summer I started decorating them for Christmas! Yesterday I was out shopping and bought all kinds of goodies to put in them this holiday season!

 I will share them once Thanksgiving is over so stay tuned!

These carriers are $5 for 8 of them and they are SO much fun to decorate!

Now pop on over to Vicki's blog to see her amazing 3D project!

I've seen it and it's really cool!!!

Russell Stover Pumpkin Boxes

 Hello & Happy Friday!

Can you believe that tomorrow is the last day of October!?

The older I get the faster time goes by!

Today I have a cool Halloween treat box to share made using a template that Erica Cerwin showed on one of her Facebook Lives. It was the perfect box to hold the Russell Stover treats I had picked up a few days prior to her video!

These hold the Caramel Pumpkins from Russell Stover.

I forgot to take a picture of the candy itself.

These are the Peanut Butter Pumpkins from Russell Stover.

Halloween Gift Bags

Hello & Happy Friday!

Woohoo, we finally made it to Friday!

Tomorrow morning I am having my 2 friends over to make Halloween cards!

I cancelled it last week when Ryan was sick but he is feeling much better now.

Today I am sharing the Gift Bags I made for them to take their projects home in.

They use the Monster Bash Suite from last year.

Everything on these is retired except for the Iridescent Pearls.

They are very pretty but I think they are a bit too bulky for on cards.

I used the larger sized ones on these.

My sentiment panel was diecut with the Circle Layering Framelits using some of last years Monster Bash DSP. 

I stamped my sentiment directly onto the DSP using Basic Black Archival ink which is also retired.  The ribbon is also retired.

These gift bags came from the Dollar Tree where they sell the small ones 3/$1.00!

Project Details:

Stamps: Spooktacular Bash (retired)

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Monster Bash DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Crushed Curry Ribbon (retired), Iridescent Pearls, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

It's been 2 months since we last got together.

It's sure to be spooktacular!

Halloween Hershey's Miniature's

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a Halloween sweet treat to share made with the Ghoulish Goodies set!

It also uses a few Hershey's Miniature Candy Bars.

I started off with putting the small candy bars into a 2 x 6 Cello Bag.

I laid the candy bars on a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock to make my bags sturdy.

The toppers were made with Basic Black cardstock that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Celebration Labels Dies. I used the 2nd smallest die. I scored them in half and stapled them onto my bags. 

I decorated my tag with a saying from the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set that I diecut with the Circle Layering Framelits,  Do you see the little pumpkin tag?

The pumpkin is from the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set that I punched out with the Gift Bow Builder Punch. I popped the tag up with a Mini Dimensional and then added a Granny Apple Green Glittered Enamel Dot! Lastly, I added my sentiment on the topper with 2 Dimensionals.

They turned out pretty nice!

Project Details:

Stamps: Ghoulish Goodies

Ink: Memento Black, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Whisper White

Accessories: Celebration Labels Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Gift Bow Builder Punch, Granny Apple Green Glittered Enamel Dots (retired), Cello Bags (retired), Stapler, Dimensionals, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
