Halloween Jars

Recycle your jars and containers into something spooky for halloween

I cleaned a variety of jars and then spray painted them and added some labels printed usng a SCARY font, then filled them with creepy treats.  The witches toenails are candy corn.

We have a winner!

Shadow Box Halloween

Make a shadow box using a wooden box from the Dollar Tree

Lightly mist with walnut spray paint, allow to dry

Using scraps of paper, line each box

This project took less than one hour to create after the paint was dry!

It's a Wrap! HOLIDAY

I live this set!  What great gifts for teachers, Care-givers or to just throw in the lunchbox when you want to share a little joy. 

EEK!

Create the cute candies using Stampin Up "It's a Wrap Holidays" stamp set and Hershey Treasures.  I added a fun plastic spider to up the EEK! factor. 

Stamp the image on an Avery label, affix to decorative paper and then tape around your candy.  Place in a pretzel bag and top with a decorative label.

I also placed a spider inside a bag for some added fun!

This set has 7 stamps:

4 You

EEK!

Give Thanks

Happy St Paddy's

Happy Easter

LOVE and Very Merry

I'll post some other gift sets and card ideas in the coming weeks!

Batty for Halloween!

I made this cute little guy our of one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock!  The body and wings were embossed with a spiderweb design and I added googly eyes for fun!  The legs are cellophane bags "stuffed" with licorice whips.  His body will be filled with some sweet Halloween Treat!

What a great Party favor!

Come to Caring Cards on September 21, 2011 and make one of these for yourself (in addition to 5 card selections)

Or use M&Ms for the legs if you prefer!

Halloween Decorative Box

This adorable bok only took about an hour to create and that included coming up with the ideas!

I bought this box at the dollar store and lighly sprayed with brown spray paint (front and back).  The result was more of a misted effect and worked nicely.

Next I cut assorted squares for the backgrounds.  I layed these out quilt style until I got a dsign that was pleasing to my eye. 

Next I pulled out all my Halloween/Fall stamps and embellishments and got to work creating!

I used the following Stampin Up supplies

Stamp sets:  Batty For You and Wicked Cool

plus one really old set (Can't remember it's name)

and a few assorted NON-Stampin' up things (GASP!)

assorted punches, ribbons and embellishments

What do you Think???

Have fun making these for yourself!
