A Kiddie Halloween Project

I am doing a Paper Crafting Club at the school where I work and this is one of the Halloween projects we did recently. I printed them and they cut and put these puppets together. The kids really liked them!

A Halloween Card

This was the 2nd project that we did at my recent Stamp 'n Meet. I did it the day before the big 24 hour Flash sale and I was able to get a lot of orders! Everyone made their little cards a little differently so it was fun to see their imaginations running wild.

Another Halloween Treat Box

We had a Stamp n' Meet this week at my home and I had 9 stampers come. We had lots of fun and made 2 projects. The first one was this cute little Halloween box. I got the template from Chic N' Scratch on her blog. I was easy especially since I had already cut and scored for everyone. They added a few candies and had a fun little treat to give away.

Another Halloween Box

I should have said a while back (if I did not) that I have been following the blog of Chic N Scratch to get a lot of these Halloween boxes. I have actually been following her blog for years and making a lot of her ideas. She does it for free (and that is my price).  Check out her blog to get some ideas for yourself.

Halloween Throwback...Paper Pumpkin 2015

I got a Paper Pumpkin kit in 2015 that featured these little paper treat bags. I found some paper bags and recreated them. I used a stick from the yard and only one bag so they are not a cool as the original but they are for a Paper Crafting club I am sponsoring at my school. The kids will love to make them.

Paper Players Color Challenge: PP463


I sat down and made a quick little card for this challenge. I am always in need of another Halloween card and this one fit the bill. I used some of my "retired" stash for this card using the above colors. Nothing spectacular...just fun!

A Ghoulish Halloween card


This was a quick and fun card to make using elements from the Monster Bash suite in the new mini catalog. I totally love the beautiful framelets you can get in this set. So pretty and versatile.

Gather Together card


This fall card features another color from the same DSP, Come to Gather. As you can see, a few color changes and the card is still fabulous!

Another Fall Card


I am truly loving the fall DSP in the mini catalog called Come to Gather. It has a great stamp set that it coordinates with called, Gather Together. This was a quick and simple fall card that I will be sharing at our Ladies and Lattes event at church.

Season of Thanks


Finally, a pretty fall card. I am currently taking care of my mother as she had to have a total knee replacement on the 1st of October. I made this card back in the 90 degree Texas heat to be able to share while I was in Georgia. Tip: to get the detailed on the leaves better...spritz the card stock with a little mist of water and then cut and emboss!

Treat Box


This is another treat box that opens from the top (under the little lady) and it holds 2 treat sized candy bars. Who would not want one of these?

A Great Halloween Box


I work in a school and I am always needing to make little treats for all the administration team I work with. I like to make little things all year and I don't feel the need to make them identical. This will be one of the treats I am sharing soon.

Sympathy Card

Being a minister's wife, we often have funerals to attend and many sympathy cards to make and send. This is the most recent I made to send out to a special lady who was recently widowed.

Another Creepy Coffin


I made another creepy coffin while I had them out and this one I embellished with silver on the edges to give it a ghastly look (very subtle). I plan to make these for my Bible class kiddo's and fill them with the little packages of bones found at the $ store about now.

Is that you Coffin?

Bad joke, but as a school nurse seeing upwards of 50-60 students a day with allergies and coughs...please forgive. This cute little coffin box is in the current mini catalog and they are easy to put together and embellish.

Witches Hat Treat


This is a revisit of last year's Halloween project with witches hat. I pulled out the new DSP and updated the same project. Perfect for adding a little treat sack of your choice and using as a quick gift. The DSP measures 8 x 2-3/4 scored at 1/2, 3-/4, 4-3/4 and 7-1/2". Quick and easy. To make the pointed hat, I used my old tree punch.

Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box




This is the 2nd project we made that evening. They all loved the Big Shot and I could have sold 2 0r 3 if only Stampin' Up! was selling them now. I told them that something new and improved was coming in the future but still...alas. They can always play with mine here at my house.

And still...another cute box!

Still another great box and template from Chic N Scratch. You can also follow her for her upcoming Christmas projects. I know I will. I turned the DSP over to make my box a little differently from  hers but the pattern is all her.

Lilypad Lake


I had my monthly stamper's meeting this past week and it might be fall where you are, but it has still been in the upper 90's most everyday this past week for us. Today is 91...cooler temps are coming. This is the card we made using Lilypad Lake. Since I live on Lake Ray Hubbard I thought it was appropriate.
