Here is a side view....

Monster pull tab box

Here is another fun halloween treat I created. We didn't make this one in my class since it ended up being a little more complicated but I wanted to show it on my blog. To make this, I created a box with my Simply scored tool and basic gray yardstick. Then before assembling the box on one of the narrow sides, I made a couple slits with an exacto knife close to the top to create the pull out tab. I then assembled the box and decorated it using the Monster Munchies stamp set. Then to finish the tab, I used a punched out circle that folded in half and glued into the flap to create the little chute for candy to slide out…. then I added on a cute little end using the modern label punch with pumpkin pie cardstock  to create a little tab so you know where to pull it open. This would be perfect to fill with m&Ms or any other small candy pieces. 

stamps: Monster Munchies

ink: basic black 

paper:  Howlstooth and Scarringbone designer paper, basic gray, basic black, tangerine tango, whisper white

other: Circle punches, Modern label punch, simply scored tool

Sweet treat pocket for Halloween

This fun little treat pocket is perfect for a mini sized candy bar or a Ghirardelli chocolate square.  It is made using the Scallop Envelope die for the big shot. … you cut out two envelopes and put them together to create this cute pocket. The designer paper works perfect for this because it is double sided and you can see both sides of the cute paper. I also added on a cute ribbon tie and the "Happy Boo from me to you" from the Monster Munchies stamp set. 

 

stamps: Monster Munchies

ink: basic black, tangerine tango

paper:  Houndstooth and Scarringbone designer paper, very Vanilla

Big Shot: Scallop Envelope Die

Halloween Nugget Holder

Another treat holder that I designed for my Halloween class using Monster Munchies. 

This easy to make treat holder was made using the top note die which was scored and folded to make this little folder. I also created a band to go around it and keep it securely closed. I decorated this with the skull stamp from the Monster Munchies stamp set (and some google eyes, of course). 

When you slide off the band and open it up, it's perfect to fit 3 hershey nuggets, wrapped in designer paper. what a cute treat! You could make these for any occasion, just change up the paper & Stamps!

stamps: Monster Munchies

ink: basic black

paper:  More Mustard, basic black, tangerine tango, whisper white, Houndstooth and Scarringbone designer paper 

Big Shot: Top note die

Spider Cider

 The Lucky Ladies who signed up for my Monster Munchies Halloween class this week will be making one of these to take home. 

When closed, this looks like a cute pocket card. I used the stamp set Monster Munchies along with some of the cool Howlstooth and Scarringbone designer paper to create this fun pocket. I also used the spiderweb embossing folder! Then you just pull up on the batty tab and see what's inside. This fun slider treat pocket is perfect for a hot chocolate or cider packet. I chose to use cider since the stamp set says "spider cider."

Owlie Box!

Happy Halloween! Here is the first of one of the projects for my upcoming Halloween Class - Isn't he adorable? I just love owls, especially with the big eyes, so I knew I had to try to make an owl for my class. His body is the Fancy Favor Die box and the "feathers" are cut out from the Howlstooth and Scarringbone Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini catalog. To cut them I used the Adorning Accents Edgelit die. Then all you need is various circle and oval punches! He's a perfect gift once you add in some shredded paper and candy!

Bleached Halloween

Here is another card using the Bleach Technique I mentioned in the last post. For this card I also stamped the owl in the tree from the House of Haunts Stamp set using bleach on soft suede card stock. Then I framed the image with basic black card stock.

To make the rest of the card I used a concord crush card stock as the base color. The textured piece was created by embossing a strip of crumb cake card stock using the lattice embossing folder and then sponging over it with Chocolate chip ink. Then I accented it with a piece of ruffled ribbon in lucky limeade. I love the lime and grape combo-- it makes the card really pop. Last I added on the happy Halloween, punched out of so saffron card stock with the Decorative Label punch.

stamps: House of Haunts
ink: Bleach, chocolate chip
paper: concord crush, crumb cake, soft suede, black
other: Decorative Label punch, big shot, square lattice embossing folder, 3/8" Ruffled ribbon in Lucky Limeade

Faux metal spider

Remember the Faux Metal technique I showed yesterday? Here's another card using the same technique. This time I made the embellishment using the spider from the Dark & Dreary stamp set:

To make the rest of the card I started again with a basic gray card and this time I took a piece of vellum and put it through the big shot with the spider web embossing folder. It cracked a little but I think it looks cool for Halloween! Then I punched out a border using the Lace Ribbon border punch on black card stock, attached the spider using some bakers twine and added the sentiment Happy Halloween from the House of Haunts stamp set.

stamps: House of Haunts, Dark & Dreary
ink: basic black
paper: basic gray, basic black, vellum, concord crush, river rock
other: pewter embossing powder, circle punches, bakers twine, lace ribbon border punch, spider web embossing folder, big shot, decorative label punch

Faux Metal Technique

Today is my Monthly Technique Class and we're going to make the card above! This month one of the techniques is Faux Metal... yep, that is not a real metal embellishment... It looks real though, doesn't it? I used the skeleton image from the set Batty For You to make the faux metal shape. Here's a close-up:

To make the rest of the card, I cut out the white shape using the top Note die (still my favorite die) with the big shot. Then I stamped the Hello Doily stamp on it using pumpkin pie ink. The Happy Halloween on the bottom of the shape is from the set House of Haunts. Then I added some black satin ribbon across the middle of the card. For a finishing touch I also punched out a strip of black using the Lace Ribbon Border punch! I love how this turned out... do you think it's a little vintage looking?

I made another Halloween card using the Faux metal technique last year too. You can check it out here.

stamps:Batty for you, House of Haunts, Hello Doily
ink: pumpkin pie, basic black
paper: basic gray, basic black, whisper white
other: scallop circle punch, circle punch, Top Note Big shot Die, black satin ribbon, Lace Ribbon Border punch, Pewter embossing powder

Lollies for Halloween!

Ok, I'm not sure what these are really called but I've been calling them "lollies" They're a cool accordian folded circle that you can make using the new Simply Scored tool from Stampin' Up! This tool is really awesome! It is a big plate with grooves in it that you can use the evenly score and is making any project I do with folds in it a breeze!

Here are some more lollies I made for Halloween! Sorry about the flash... these were hard to get a photo of because they were so tall I couldn't take a photo of them where I usually take my pictures.! I made 3 of them in different sizes and put them in a vase with Halloween candy corn! Isn't it cute?



Here's what the Simply Scored tool looks like:
