Halloween Candy Boxes


Here are some Halloween treat boxes I made.  The papers are from different Recollections packs.  The ribbons are from Michaels.  The stamp is from last years $1 stamps from Michaels.  The spider is a Studio G mini punch.  The box is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.  They were cut at 3 1/4 inches with the Blackout feature on to fit the length of the Hershey mini bar.  I found there was room on the side so I put a couple of Hershey Nuggets.  They all fit perfectly together.  I love them!  I'm thinking of making about 30 for my daughter's 3rd grade class.  Hope everyone is having a great Monday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Door Hanger


I know Halloween isn't for a while but I wanted to try a large Rosette.  It measures about 8 3/4 inches in diameter.  The paper is from a Studio G pack I found at Walmart for .97!  (Thanks for the info Mary!  She had a video of the great things she found at Walmart by Studio G and all the things were  .97!  Ribbon, stamps, paper packs & more!)  Anyway, the scallop circle and layers were cut from Elegant Edges at 6 inches.  Hello Kitty is from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge, and all layers were cut at 2 1/4 inches.  The sentiment is from Kristal Andrews new stamp set Winter Wishes that I won in a giveaway!  (Thanks SO much Kristal!)  The little bats are from a Studio G mini punch for the  .97 bins at Walmart.  In the bottom picture I added little black and purple bat confetti.  I think I will make one for fall next.  Here's a link to Kristal's blog:  www.gettingcricky.com  They are so much fun!  Hope you all are having a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!
