OOOO, Halloween Treat Boxes

Good Day Y'all,

Oh, gosh today I am so excited to share with y'all super easy treat boxes for your little ghouls & goblins. (I also will posting a tutorial here later. Okay.)

First, I want to invite you over to International Art & Soul for our Halloween Challenge #69, just click on the link and you will be there in seconds. The team came up with some really cute projects for this Halloween Challenge, you will be inspired for sure.

For my project I was inspired by a Cauldron Treat Box I saw on Youtube, her yt channel name is - The Scrappy Bookworm1. So I wanted to give it a try, I really liked hers but I didn't want to copy her exactly and wanted to do my own thing, so I tried and I tried and I tried, LOL, until I finally got what I wanted. You will see below the two cauldron's I created both are really different. After I finished those, I just couldn't help myself, LOL,  I started thinking this little treat box would look so cute with little ghosts and pumpkins on placed on the box.  So below I will show all the Treat Boxes I came up with so far. LOL  I hope you enjoy and get a chance to create some and join us over at
IAAS - Challenge #69 - Halloween.

For the Cauldron Treat Box I used the Recollections Stamp & Die Set - Halloween. I used Googlie eyes from the Dollar Tree and the little pumpkin I fussy cut from a scrap paper in my stash. The little smoke inside the Cauldron is actully Stetchly Spider WEB stuff you get at the store. I cut a piece off and used my Tim Holtz inks for color it green.  

The Cauldron and Pumpkin are created from a circle die - Elizabeth Crafts Stitched Circles Die. The Pumpkin is super easy peasy, used an old green tag from stash I cut for the stem, the nose is a little wonky, (lol) and the mouth is from a scalloped punch, I tied a little burlap string to give it a little more interesting look. The paper is Holographic paper that I bought years ago from Create and Craft. 

This Cauldron I created with 1 inch,  1 1/4 inch, and 5/8 inch punches. Googlie eyes, and Black Glitter paper I had in stash from HL. 

 The little ghosts took me a bit cause I had to draw them by hand and I am not a good at drawing. My skills are more like stick people. (LOL)  But once I had this image I made a template. :D 

I used my Create and Craft glitter paper I bought years ago, added a paper bow I had in my stash with a purple gem, googlie eyes are from Dollar Tree and the mouth is a 1/4 of a scallop punch. I added the word BOO from a embellie swap I did last year and the spider is die cut from Recollections.

The bottom one is the same but just a bit different.

A Happy Hello

Good Morning Everyone,

I know it's been a long time since I've blogged, feels like forever. Well... I've been gone due to my little brother had passed away last month. This has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through. I know we all go through many different trails and tribulations throughout our life but losing a sibling is the one that never crossed my mind even though I knew it would happen one day. He had been sick for many years and was full of life and had lived a wonderful life. I am so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends that were and still are by my side during my healing process. Since I have now returned home and am coming back I made a card to say

"A Happy Hello"

Today we kick off a new Challenge at One Stitch At A Time Challenge 246 - Anything Goes with Leaves. So get out your Autumn Or Fall leave punches, stamps, dies, stickers or whatever you have and come join us for some fun. We want to see your beautiful creations. 

I made a little card using Bugsy by Beary Dust from the StitchyBear Digital Outlet Store. She's so adorable. Here is my card. Hope you all like it. I used the TH paint and painted it around my image to give an autumn feel with sunlight in the back. I used a gold leaf pen to color her parts of her leafy crown and used it on her outfit. I used the Spellbinders Die (Decorative Labels Twenty Eight) to make the card base and used other dies from the same set to cut out the image and the gold frame. And the blue leaves and yellow flowers are card stock from Create and Craft when they were having the awesome sale last year.
