Halloween Treats for the Paper Players

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a couple of treat boxes I whipped up using the challenge this week at 

The Paper Players.

Create a Halloween card or project!

I decided to make a couple of these fun little candy holders.

I printed out the pattern, which is one I purchased a few years back and is no longer available, onto some Tangelo Twist card stock and then layered the pattern over a piece of Basic Black card stock and then cut it out. I wanted to make a black one and did not know how print it so the pattern would show on the black so I figured this was the best way to do it.

The best part of making these are decorating them. I had fun using my Halloween goodies.

This one is decorated with part of one of the Spider Web Doilies and a black sparkly witches hat.

I die cut the hat with some Black glimmer paper and the Boo to You dies.

I wrapped a bit of silver cording around the hat and the sentiment is from the Sweet Hauntings Stamp Set.

I used DSP on both of these from the Happy Hauntings paper pack

My fave paper in this pack is this one with the stars! LOVE it!!

The skull and bones are from the Howl-O-Ween stamp set.

I added the sentiment from the Sweet Hauntings set. 

I added a small silver bow to this one!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Freshly Made Sketches.....Happy, Happy Halloween

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I always love their sketches and this one is no exception.

Ya'll know I love  Halloween  and that I love making Halloween cards, altho I have tried to cut back a bit on them cos they are not big sellers.

But I could not help myself with this one, I am crazy about this stamp set, it is the Stampin Up Haunt Ya Later set and the images are just too cute. I love this little witch,

I stamped her onto some Naturals Vanilla card stock with Black Memento ink and colored her with my copic markers,

I started out making my witch a blonde but quickly changed it up to a brunette when coloring cos I thought the blonde was not showing as well.

I fussy cut her out and then set her aside to make the rest of the card.

The base of my card is Basic Black card stock and then a layer of Old Olive that is embossed with the Chevron EF. 

This piece I found in my stash when looking for my Old Olive piece so I just went with it.

The piece of DSP is from the Happy Hauntings paper pack, I love the bats on this piece. 

The sentiment is stamped with more Black Memento ink and comes from the Sweet Hauntings set, I masked off the surrounding edges to just use the sentiment.

I added a strip of the new Black Glimmer paper across the bottom of the vanilla panel.

The little witch is added to the panel with dimensionals.

The panel is then added to the base with more dimensionals, I am telling you dimensionals are your best friend in card making!!!

I am happy with this card, I think that little witch with the frog is adorable!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Creative Challenge with Wendy

Happy Friday Peeps!

A couple of weeks ago I received a card in the mail from my friend Wendy 

at WeeBeeStampin4Fun. 

As you all know we do a monthly challenge and that card had the contents of our new challenge.

She sent me the clear boxes and said to decorate for Halloween!

I was excited cos I LOVE Halloween!

I got busy this week on the challenge, 

I had finally got some new goodies from the Stampin Up new mini. I was excited to use some of the Halloween items I had ordered.

On these three boxes you can see something from each of the three Halloween sets I got.

First up is my fave set, I LOVED it the instant I saw it.

It is called Haunt Ya Later and has some fun images to color.

I stamped this little guy and colored with my copic markers.

How cute is he???

The sentiment is from the same set.

I stamped it with Wild Wasabi ink to match Dracula's complexion

Next is the Howl-a ween Treat Set. 

Isn't that owl so cute? 

I stamped it with Black ink onto some Very Vanilla card stock, the Jack-O-Lantern is stamped with Tangelo Twist ink. These images are cut with the matching framelits.

All the DSP on these are from the Happy Haunting paper pack.

My last box contains and image, the cat, from the Haunt You Later set and the tag is from the Sweet Hauntings stamp set.

I added some black frayed out ribbon to the tag.

Hope you enjoyed this installment of our Creative Challenges and be sure to hop on over to 

Wendy's Blog  to see how she decorated these cute little boxes.
