TRICK or TREAT!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

As Halloween grows near and my week long Halloween showcase is almost at the end … I have a treat to share with you! I have been feelin’ the love this week and was surprised by a couple of treats myself!

First, a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my friend Nancy. Stampin’ has brought us together, our siblings brought us closer, and a true friendship has emerged …

They are so beautiful (just like Nancy) and they make me smile each time I look at them.

Today as we arrived for our stamping class, our lovely host Tina, who opens her home to our group each month, also created this cute little treat for each of us!!

I have to share a close up of this little pumpkin … he’s so stinkin’ cute!

Thank you ladies … you are wonderful 🙂

As for my treat, I created a handy little box to tuck all my candies in! I love the 2-4-6-8- boxes but needed something bigger so … I came up with this!

000_2687

I cut 2 – 6 x 9 inch pieces out of the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper.  You score at 4″ and 8″ which leaves you a 1″ flap for sealing your box.

You will also need to score horizontally at the 2-1/4″ mark… that will create your bottom flaps. You do a little trimming on the bottom flaps so they close nicely (and all edges are adhered). Simple!!

If you would like a copy of the instructions, just send me your e-mail address to me at … (lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com) and I will send you directions. No purchase necessary! Just giving a little back or all I received this week.

EEK … Spiders!!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I hope you had a chance to check out my blog yesterday and the multiple treat boxes I made with the “Curvy Keepsake Box” die. I share Halloween and Christmas boxes.

Today, I will continue with my Halloween week with my latest design that will make you go EEK!! Just image an walk through the forest and low and behold … it’s filled with spiders!! Spiders Everywhere!!

This card was quick and easy to create. I began with the “spider” pattern from the Happy Haunting Designer Series paper. The you simply run it through the Bigshot using with Embossing Folder – Woodland.

With a light touch and the side of your marker, color the “raised” tree’s from the folder. That ‘s it.  A bit of Tangelo Twist for a pop of color and a simple greeting … “EEK” from the Little Letters Thinlit Dies.

You know what’s really creepy … it reminded me how we used to run through the cornfields when we were kids, later I learned how many spiders live in those cornfields! EEK!!!

Thank you for stopping by ~

Have a “fabulous” Friday!

A quick and simple card created with the “Happy Haunting” designer Series paper…. this just makes card making so easy! I put my little ghosties on the bottom and stripes on the top! I finished off the bare edges of my paper with the “Basic Black Stitched Satin Ribbon”.

My greeting comes from the “Among the Branches” stamp set (it’s bundled with the Woodland Textured Folder) which I embossed in black on Pear Pizzazz. I used the “Circle Framelits” to cut it out.

I added the two little banners to a a touch more color and give the card . Wow … those creepy little eyes staring back at you from the inside, kind of gives me the goosebumps! Well, it is Halloween!

More Treat Bag Fun for You!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

As promised, today I have a treat bag with a window! Let’s have a little fun here today … I’m using the  Treat Bag Thinlit and Happy Haunting Designer paper. I’ve chosen a different pattern of paper today so I can show you that this is not just for Halloween.

For those of you who know me well, you know I love Star’s!! Here they are in full force, and to top it off … our thinlit die has a star in it too! I used it to cut out my window and make another star to bring in the orange color from the inside of the bag (reverse side of paper).

000_2556

You simply place the star or other shape that you would like to use to create a window in the center of the largest die. If you want to fill your treat bag with smaller goodies, simply adhere a window sheet inside before assembling your treat bag. (Too hard to do once it’s all put together).

So … if you want to treat someone that “rocks” with a fun little gift, what would you give them? Why “POP ROCKS” of course.  So clever (or fun) … Pop Rocks + Star paper = Rock Star!

What a quick and simple way to brighten someones day! Hope you enjoyed!
