Halloween Treats

These are the last two projects that we will be making at my fall buffet. I wanted to incorporate a couple of treat holder options. I saw these ideas online and thought they were so cute!

This first project is a large treat holder that will hold lots of candy. It could fit a large bag of Skittles or M&M's or a larger candy bar. It could also be filled with a lot of smaller candies. There are two die cuts made from the Top Note die with a box in between them.

Stamps: none
Paper: Lucky Limeade, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note die, Simply Scored, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Curly Label punch, 1/2" Circle punch
Inspired by this project

This treat holder is much smaller and would be perfect to send in a little something to a child's classroom or it could even be used as a small treat for Thanksgiving dinner. Like the Frankenstein box above, it is a box with a pumpkin on each side. It would hold three Hershey's nuggets or kisses.

Stamps: none
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Gumball Green, Early Espresso
Ink: none
Accessories: Extra-Large Oval punch, Big Shot, Little Leaves Sizzlit, Word Window punch
Inspired by this project

Here is a side-by-side picture so you can see the size comparison between the two. Despite being quite different is size, they will take approximately the same amount of time to create.

More Fall Card Buffet Previews

I am finally finished with all of my projects for my fall card buffet! Yippee! I'm even a couple of days under the deadline- shocking! I have three more cards to share tonight! I hope you like them!

This first card is a fun Halloween card that uses the super adorable set called Spooky Bingo Bits. I just love these cute images!

Stamps: Spooky Bingo Bits, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Basic Gray, Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: Black Stazon, Rich Razzleberry, Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Big Shot, Spiderweb EF, Chevron EF, Scallop Square punch, 1" Square punch, Modern Label punch, Word Window punch

The next card is a card using one of my very favorite stamp sets for this time of year, Gently Falling. I love the realistic leaf images. So pretty! This card also uses a technique called Triple Time Stamping that Dawn Olchefske shared on her blog recently.

Stamps: Gently Falling, Petite Pairs
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, Soft Suede
Accessories: linen thread, Naturals Designer buttons
Technique: Triple Time Stamping

This last card was inspired by a card that Amanda Mertz posted on Splitcoast. It caught my eye immediately because it used the colors that were in the Spice Cake DSP that was in last year's holiday mini. I loved that DSP. It was one of my favorites ever. Even though the colors don't scream "fall", I think that the medallion from Day of Gratitude looks very "fallish".

Stamps: Day of Gratitude
Paper: Soft Suede, Pool Party, First Edition DSP
Ink: Soft Suede, Pool Party, Certainly Celery
Accessories: 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Very Vanilla seam binding, sponge
Techniques: Stamping Off, Sponging
Inspired by this card made by Amanda Mertz.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check back tomorrow to see my final two projects for the buffet and if you plan to attend, please check back on Saturday for a post with all of the choices.

Holiday Mini Preview!

Hello! Sorry it has taken me so long to get a new card posted. My camera battery died while I was on vacation and I didn't have my charger with me. I got home and realized it wasn't here either and that's when I realized that I left it at my parents' house. I had to wait for my mom to mail it to me before I could take this picture. I actually made this card a few days ago.

This card is made with a couple of products from the holiday mini catalog, which will start on September 1st. The background is made with the new spiderweb embossing folder. I brayered Whisper White craft over it. It didn't work perfectly because I had a few smudges and smears. Oh well! I will just have to keep trying until I perfect the technique.

That adorable witch and the sentiment are from a new set for Halloween called "Fangtastic" also from the Holiday mini. I have my holiday minis on their way, so let me know if you would like one and I will get one to you once they arrive. You will also be able to view it online beginning September 1st.

Don't forget: My tax free sale will end on Sunday. If you are interested in ordering, you must call or email your order to me by 9:00 p.m. on Sunday evening. Also, the sales period for the Summer Mini catalog will end on August 31st, so if you want anything from it, be sure to order before the 31st.

Have a great day! It is rainy here, so maybe I will get a little more stamping done today!
