Boo!

Hi

I love the Pile it on challenge as you get to try and incorporate as many challenges as possible into your project.

The following treat bag I made is 3D for the Pile it on challenge, the colors are from the color challenge on The Pink Elephant blog, the stitching is for the Crazy for Challenges blog and the Halloween theme is for the Fun with shapes and More challenge.

The template can be downloaded HERE. Just print it directly onto your card stock cut, score and assemble-easy peasy.

I actually printed the template onto plain printer paper then tore my papers and glued them to the back of the template before cutting and assembling, so as to get the torn layers. The stamp is from Making memories, I used the back of the stamp for the gray background and then stamped the feet over the gray background. I did some faux stitching along the torn edges, sort of Frankenstein style (LOL!).

Put in some treats and away you go.

S O S - Itty Bitty Halloween treat

Hi

SCS has a great Limited supplies challenge this week - to make something incorporating something with an S, something with an O and something with an S - S O S.

I must admit it did take some thinking. This was super easy and super fast to put together and I think I am going to make them to hand out to both my sons classmates. I just love the new Ladybug from Pink Cat Studios and they have a Halloween version, so I used her.

The little "sack" holding the sweets is some netting I found at a packaging store a while back. I just cut off a length added the sweets in the center, lifted the corners to make the "sack" and tied it off with some ribbon.

Isn't she the cutest? I just had to add some close ups. I'm so glad that the sparkles on the head band  and wings showed up.

Oh and by the way my SOS is:

S - square

O - orange bucket and sweets that are round

S - stitching (faux)

!!! Spooktacular !!!

Spooky Greetings

I have managed to combine 3 challenges into one-WOOT WOOT!
1. Limited supplies on SCS Spooky Colors
2. The Fresh Batch SASSC33 Sketch
3. Copic Buzz Black and grey Challenge

So it's my first attempt at using black and grey copics in any serious way, so I still have a way to go, but I did enjoy doing this card. I got the image as a freebie from Sassy Studio Designs  on the Copic Buzz Blog.

I generated the spooktacular wording in Word and printed it onto my card stock.

Second helping of Scraplings anyone?

Hi again

As I ended off saying yesterday I was off to make some Halloween scraplings and here they are.

The first is a baggy to hand out for treats or to classmates.

 

  

The second is just a fum scrapling to add to a treat or have a straw stick out of.

 

Above is a close up to show the sanding and the hand drawn spiders web and spider.

Treat holder- Cup style?

Hi, hope you are all having a fantastic day.

This is another treat holder/container I made using Dustin Pikes Halloween bear (I just love this pumpkin bear). This time I enlarged the bear, he is 7" tall and made a box to go behind him. I wanted to made a traditional handle but was inspired to make it cup style when I came to adhere the handle- what do you think? The box is 5" tall and 1.5" X 1.5" all around. I even thought trick or treaters could get thir sweets/treats poured into their containers from this cup or should I call it a pseudo jug!?!?

Anyhow here are the pics

 

  

And from the side- see the "cup" or "jug" handle.

Trick/Treat Pumpkin Box

Hi

This week I have been working on Halloween projects and after seeing this card here by Suzanne Dean I just felt inspired to turn a pumpkin into a trick or treat container, for a little trick or treater to carry around. The pumpkin is cut using an oval Coluzzels template and is made from Bazzil cardstock.

 

I used the second to largest oval on my Coluzzles' oval template for the two outer layers and the third to largest for the center of the pumpkin. I distressed the edges with orange ink and used my copic YR07 to further highlight the edges. I free cut the stem. The image is a freebie from Dustin Pike which I colored using my copics.

 

I just measured up my completed pumpkin and cut a box with a handle to fit behind it. Below is a side view shoing how I glued the finished pumpkin to the box.

Hope you enjoyed this project.
