Spook-tacular Ink-spirations

Yesterday I shared with you some super cute candy corn treat boxes. Today I want to share with you some other ideas from fellow demonstrators.

Did you know that our Big Shot machine not only does die cutting, but embossing too! Check out this cute card made with our spider web embossing template!

Candy Corn Treat Box!

Halloween is just around the corner, but it's not too late to get in the holiday spirit! Check out these super cute candy corn treat boxes!

 Here's how to make these sweet treat bags.

Start with a 4 1/2 by 3 inch rectangle.

Color, ink, or stamp your colors  like so:

 

I used Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie on Whisper White card stock.

Next, fill your paper over and put glue on one short and one long side.

 

Bring your short side with the glue over to meet the other short side (colored side) and press together to make a tube.

Then press the side with the glue together.

 Fill with your choice of candies, then with a little glue inside the rim, press together in the opposite direction of the fist side. Add a little detail by crimping the ends.

 And voila! A fun and fast way to dress up those Trick-or-Treat goodies!

Check in tomorrow for more Halloween inspirations!

OWL you need is a little creativity

Blogging is still pretty new to me, so please bear with me as I experiment with different photo programs, settings, etc. I hope regardless of my poor photo quality or layout, you will find some useful and inspiring ideas here.

When I first bought the owl punch from Stampin' Up! I had no idea how versatile it would be. I just fell in love with these adorable owls!

 

There is so much more to do with these. Take a look at these tulips (my favorite flower by the way)!

And how about this little girl?

I recently made some ghosts for my nephews' Halloween cards, but check out these other creepies you can make!

 

 Owls aren't just for fall you know! Here are a few winter ideas!

All these characters were made with the owl punch,

Here is the before card, taken from my Paper Creations magazine, Spring 2010.

 

And here is my version!

Fall Festival

Hi everyone! I had my first exhibit on Saturday and I thought I'd show you just a few of the projects I took with me. I thought a pumpkin craft would be appropriate for October. I made a smaller version of this years ago and thought I'd attempt a larger one for display. It's starting to get a little smooshed from it's travels, but I still think it's cute!

Here is a vase I dresses up a bit with some paper flowers I made out of the Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper.

 

Here are some of the cards that were on display. Isn't the owl adorable?!! He's new and one of my favorite punches. Later this week I will be showing you at least five other things to do make with the owl punch, besides owls! You won't believe how versatile it is.

 

Lastly, here is a candy bar slider that I made. It was super easy!

I had such a great time meeting other women who love to craft and making these fun little projects. Tune in later this week for more on the owl punch and check in tomorrow for my first Makeover Monday!
