Air Head Treat Holder

Hello my crafty friends!  If any of you are on the East Coast, you all are in my prayers.  Please stay safe!  I wish Sandy would just head back out to sea!

I have another treat holder to share with you today.  I just love making treat holders.  My daughter likes Air Heads.  I had to fiddle with the measurements a couple of times, but I finally found this one works.  I've been trying to use up the embellishments I bought this year from K & Co.  The "Creepy!" sentiment came from the Cardz TV stamp set "More Spooky Sayings."  I used a Stampin' Up! border punch on the top, and two smaller SU! punches for the sentiments.  I know the white one is the Word Window punch.  The paper came from a K & Co. paper stack.

I hope you all have a great day, and once again I'm praying for you all that live on the East Coast.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would really love to hear from you!

Lots of Hugs,

Pirate Trick-or-Treater

Hello my craft friends!  I hope you all are having a great day so far.  I woke up at 5:00 a.m. this morning to snow on the ground!  Unbelievable!  By next Tuesday, it is supposed to get up to 68!  Anyway, with Halloween less than a week away, I wanted to share another card with you all.  I just love the new Teddy Bear Parade cartridge!  I've cut several of them out but haven't put them all on cards yet.  I had cut out this little guy and knew what I wanted to do with him.  I wanted to make him a little trick-or-treater with his little pumpkin.  I cut him out at 3 1/4 inches as well as all of his layers.  He has little foam squares on the back of him.  The pumpkin actually belongs to the little bear dressed as a pumpkin.  I cut it out at 3/4 inches.  The paper for the larger mat was from a K & Co. stack.  The smaller mat came from a small Recollections Halloween stack.  The little candy stickers came from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope to hear from you because you know I love your comments!

Free Broom Rides

Hello my crafty friends!  I know I've been sharing lots of treat holders lately so I thought I would throw in a card.  I've been having soooo much fun with Mary's Stamps!  For the sentiments, I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "October 31st."

                                     
I used the D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder for the top piece.  The witch came from a K & Co. sticker pack that has foam tape already on the back.  I've had the candy corn shaped brads in my stash for a long time but have never used them.  LOL  There is foam tape under the black cardstock to create a stopper for the purple.  The orange sentiment mat was cut using some Graphic 45 paper.  I used a glitter gel pen for the stitching.  I used a Stampin' Up! border punch on the top of the black cardstock.

Just a reminder, the Cardz TV Stamp Design Team Challenge "Fall-o-ween" is going on through noon tomorrow October 25th.  Mary will be announcing a winner on Friday, October 26th.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would really love to hear from you!

Got Candy?

Hello my crafty friends!  It's a very wet and cold day here in Utah.  There is snow in the mountains!  On a day like today, I definitely want to stay in and craft!  The "Fall-o-ween" Challenge is still going on over at Cardz TV.  I hope you've had a chance to enter.
                                     
For my next project, I decided to make these cute little matchbook treat holders.  For the ghost treat holder, I used the Cardz TV Stamp set "More Spooky Sayings."  For the treat holder on the left, I used Graphic 45 paper.  For the one on the right I used paper from a K & Co. stack.   The ghost and the pumpkin treat bowl are from two different K & Co. embellishment packs.  You pull the candy above the bowl up to show the Trick Or Treat.  It came with 3 other ones that have something to pull on.  I found them at Michaels on clearance.  I used a Studio G mini punch for the spiders.

Well, that's it for today.  I hope you are having better weather where you are.  Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!  I will be posting again soon so please check back.

Lots of Hugs,

Trick-or Treat Holders

Hello my crafty friends!  Here are some more fun Halloween treat holders.  These are little boxes I made, and inside it holds a fun size Kit Kat or a Hershey bar. For the sentiments, I used the Cardz TV Stamp set October 31st, and the More Spooky Sayings set.  I've just been having so much fun with these sets!

For the papers, I used a K & Co. stack, and a Recollections mat stack.  I really love these paper stacks.  They have lots of fun designs.  The embellishments came from a K & Co. pack that I found at Bennion Crafts.  I used two different Stampin' Up! punches for the sentiment mats.  I popped them on mini foam squares so it would hold the flap.

I hope you've had a chance to join us in our challenge.  It is still going on.  You have until noon EST Thursday, October 25th to enter.  Mary over at Cardz TV will announce the winner this Friday.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope to hear from you.  If you are new to my blog, I hope you become a follower.  I will be posting more projects.  Have a wonderful day!

Cardz TV Stamps Design Team "Fall-o-ween" Challenge Day 3

Welcome to day 3 of the Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge!  I've been having so much fun with this Challenge!  For these little treat holders, I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "October 31st", and "More Spooky Sayings."  Both of these are really fun sets with lots of great sentiments for Halloween.

          
The paper with the little ghosts, and the little monsters came from Recollections.  The one with the dots on one side and the spider webs on the inside is from K & Co.  I used a Studio G mini punch for the little spiders.  I used an EK Success corner punch for the corners on the top one.  And of course I tucked in a little pack of Smarties.  When Halloween time comes, I LOVE to make little candy favors!  And these awesome little stamp sets make it so easy.

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.  I will be posting another fun project on Monday so I hope you stop by again.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to hear from you!

Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge "Fall-o-ween" Day Two

Welcome to day two of the Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge "Fall-o-ween!"  I have been having so much fun creating projects for this challenge!  It's hard to choose what to post next.  I decided to post these cute little paint cans that I've embellished.  I found these little paint cans at my local craft store, Bennion Crafts.  This store is only like 3 minutes away from my house which can be kind of dangerous.  LOL.  For the sentiments on this one, I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Spooky Sayings" for the "Bats, Spiders and Eye of Newt."  The "Happy Halloween" came from the "Happy Days" set.  I used a Studio G mini-punch for the little spiders.  The bats came from Recollections.  The little eyeballs are chocolate with peanut butter filling.
  

I made this can using the "Fall Fun" set.  There are some really fun sentiments on this set.  I added fall colored Hershey Kisses.  I used some sheer ribbon around the top, bottom, and for the handle.  I used a leaf punch for the leaves.  The "Happy Days" set came from the "Happy Days" set.  I added some leaf stickers around the outside.
                                    

For this one, I used two different stamp sets.  For the "Candy Corn," I used the "Thankful For You" set, the "Kisses" came from the "Home For Christmas" set,  and the "Happy Days" set.  I added tulle to the handle.  I can't wait to give these to some special people.

 
I hope you've started your project to join us in this Challenge.  Remember you have until noon EST Thursday, October 26th.  Just create a card, layout, or other craft project.  Once you've finished, head on over to Mary's Blog and enter a picture and link to your blog into Mr. Linky.  She will be posting the winner on Friday, October 27th.  I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend!  I will be posting another fun project on Sunday.  I hope you come back to check it out.  If you are new to my blog, I hope you become a follower.

Cardz TV Stamps Fall-o-ween Challenge

Hello my crafty friends!  Welcome to the Cardz TV "Fall-o-ween" Challenge!  Mary gave us a challenge to create a card, layout or other project for Fall or Halloween.  I just love Fall, especially here in Utah with the mountains so close.  When I look out our kitchen window you can see the beautiful orange, yellow and red leaves.
                                    
This card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used brown Bazzill cardstock.  The patterned mat is from DCWV.  For my sentiment, I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Fall Fun."  This is a cute little set.   I used an EK Success for the brown sentiment mat, and a McGill punch for the cream colored sentiment mat.  The adorable little Teddy Bear came from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.  I just really love this cartridge!  He was cut at 3 1/4 inches as well as his clothes.  The denim patterned paper, the blue checkered paper, and the burlap paper came from Joann's.  I used a leaf punch that I've had for many years for the leaves.  I really like how this turned out.  What do you think?

Now it's your turn!  Just create a Fall or Halloween card, layout or other craft project.  Once you've completed it, head on over to Mary's blog  and enter a picture of your project and a link to your blog into Mr. Linky.   You have until Thursday, October 25 to enter.  Mary will be announcing the winner on Friday, October 26th.  The winner will receive a set of Cardz TV Stamps!  Easy peasy right?  I hope you join our fun Challenge!  I can't wait to see what you all create!

Halloween Hand Treats

Hello my friends!  I hope your Monday is going well so far!  I just wanted to share a quick project.  When my daughter was in Pre-School a few years ago, I made these as little favors for her class.  I decided to make some this year.  I used surgical gloves.  You can find them at Walgreens, Walmart, Rite-Aid.  For the fingers I used Smarties.  Then I filled them rest of the way with mini Hershey candy bars and mini Reese's peanut butter cups, and Hershey Kisses.  I had to add a little ring.  Once filled, I just tied them with craft ribbon.  Easy peasy.  I would keep them away from small children.  These are great for older kids and adults.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would really love to hear from you!  Have a great week!

Halloween Mini Center Step Cards

I'm back with another "Boo's & Button's" Challenge post.  I meant to post these last night but the Queen was very busy going to a meeting, helping my little princess with homework, and making sure she gets to Volleyball practice.  Anyway, these are little mini-center step cards.  I just love how they turned out.  For the sentiments, I used the Cardz TV Stamp sets  "More Spooky Sayings" and "Oct 31st."  These are so fun!
                       
The background papers are from K & Co. as well as the little spider web and the cute little dog.  I put the spider on a small foam square.  I cut the little cauldron from Create A Critter 2.  It was cut at 1 3/4 inches.  I used a Stampin' Up! punch for the sentiment mat.  The buttons are from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would really love to hear from you!  Have a great day!

The Witching Hour

Hello my friends!  I hope you all are having a wonderful fall day!  I've had the idea for this card ever since Mary over at Cardz TV came out with the Cardz TV Stamp set, "More Spooky Sayings."  I found this patterned paper at Bennion Crafts made by Graphic 45.  I knew just what I wanted to use it for.  When my daughter was a baby, at a certain hour at night she used to get really fussy.  My aunt used to call it "the witching hour."  I'm glad she out grew that!
                                          
I hadn't made a tall card in a long time, so I decided it was time.  I wanted to make a tall card so you could see more of the clocks.  It measures 3 3/4 x 9 1/4.  The green mat measures 3 1/2 x 9.  The orange mat measures 3 1/4 x 8 3/4.  The patterned paper measures 3 x 8 1/2.  The cute little witch came from a K & Co. embellishment package.  I put little foam squares on the back of her to add dimension.  The corner punch is from EK Success.

I hope you have had a chance to enter the Cardz TV Design Team Challenge "Boo's & Buttons."  You have until noon EST Thursday, October 11th to enter the Challenge.  Mary is giving away a set of her stamps to the winner!  Winner's choice!  All you have to do is create a card, layout, or other craft project for Halloween and use buttons.  Just remember to enter your project into Mr. Linky along with a picture on Mary's blog.  She will be announcing the winner on Friday, October 12th.

I hope you like this card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I would really love to hear from you!

For the sentiment, I used the Cardz TV Stamps sets "Spooky Sayings" and "More Spooky Sayings."  Both of these sets are so fun!  I just love the "Happy Howl-o-ween" one!  The paper I used is this year's K & Company's paper stack.  The mat with the dog and the circle came from a K & Co. embellishment package as well as the cute little dog and bat.  I used my favorite EK Success corner punch  and added some little buttons.  The ribbon is from Recollections.
