Halloween Frankie!


Frankenstein Treats!
I made these little boxes for my children's classes. They are holding orange boxes of Nerds. I used the "Hey Ghoul Friend" stamp set and the background stamp "Print Pattern." I used Old Olive card stock and naturals Ivory. I water colored Frankie with my water color pencils cut him out and placed dimensionals behind him.

Halloween Treats!

Halloween Treats that were made for my children's class rooms. I don't think I ever posted them. Inside of the witch bag I used "Witch's Brew" candies.










This one was my favorite. I found the "Bag O' Blood" candy at the Oriental Trading Company online and used my Dracula stamp from Best Fiends. The saying is from Just between Fiends.

Haunted Spellbound

I made this Halloween pouch with the Making Memories Spellbound papers. I used the Home is where the Haunt is and Batty for you stamp sets. This is my first time using the haunted house stamp and I have had it for so long! You score a piece of 12x4 1/2 card stock at 5 inches and again at 10 inches. You have two inches left over for the front flap. I have a bag of candy in the inside attached to the pouch with sticky tape. I used my scalloped punch and my 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 circle punches. The house and scull stamp were embossed in black EP. I doubled up on my dimensionals so the house really comes off the papers. When taping card stock or designer papers to glitter paper you need to use your sticky tape not double sided tape. It just won't hold.

Halloween Paint Can!

Happy Halloween!



I found these cute little clear paint cans at a store near my home called "Beverley's." It is a great craft store! Personally, I like it better than Michael's. They were on sale for under $2.00 a piece. I used the Spellbound papers made by Making Memories. The patterns are: Glitter dot black, Polka dot stripe, Argyle and Glitter Crow. You can see them here:http://www.makingmemories.com/Products/detail/spellbound-paper
The ribbons I used for my can are here:http://www.makingmemories.com/Products/detail/spellbound-trims
and also I used some that I had already had on hand. I cut the bird's tail end out with an X-Acto knife so it pop's off the can and crafted a tag behind him. We had some Halloween candy that had bones for the sticks of the Lollipop's. The packages they were in matched the papers. When you are doing a project like this always pull colors from the packaging. It just makes everything look more professional. I believe the monogram metal "H" is also Making Memories. It was something I had already laying around and placed it over the first H on the clear acetate tag that said Happy Halloween.
