Happy Halloween

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a few things I've been working on for Halloween this year.

All of the treat boxes I'm sharing with you today came from Simply Crafty SVGs.  I made the front and back of this treat box glow in the dark :-)

Scrapy Land Challenge

Now for a bit about my project:

For my celebration card, I created a shaker/pop-up combo by using the following dies:

Karen Burniston: Twist Panel Pop Up

Queen and Co.: Sweet Treat shaker kit

Sizzix: Bow 3D

Sizzix: Balloons Step-Up

Tutti Designs: Nesting Stars

Tutti Designs: Scalloped Stitched Nesting Circles

Die-Versions: Make A Wish Sweet Wordlets

Die-Namics: Birthday Candles (here are other options)

Spellbinders: Happy Birthday with numbers

To start off, I created several backgrounds using various Nuvo Shimmer Powders.  I had a bunch of glossy photo papers laying around and I wanted to see if these would work with the shimmer powders.  I'm so happy to say they worked beautifully.  

I used these backgrounds to die cut a number of the shapes, including the cupcake liner on the front of the card and the party banner, the candles, and the numbers and hearts on the sentiment on the inside of the card.

Here are some close-ups of the inside elements:

Christmas Sweaters {Scrapy Land #99}

Hey everyone, it's time for a new Scrapy Land Challenge #99!  I have a quick and easy to mail Christmas card to share with you today.  The theme is always Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.


The following dies were used for today's card:

Cheery Lynn Designs: Fun with Sweaters (here are other options)
Frantic Stamper: Deckled and Torn Edgers
Die-Versions: Tis The Season Sweet Wordlet (here are other options)

I have to say, I love these Cheery Lynn Sweaters and can think of so many uses for them other than on a Christmas card.  I think they would make adorable gift tags, you could customize these for any holiday, or how about for your favorite football team.  The list could go on and on 😀.

To create these two sweaters, I die cut one from double sided adhesive and added mini pompoms all over the top.  For the second one, I ran the top portion of the sweater through a embossing folder (Cuttlebug-Spots & Dots) and die cut the Ho Ho Ho from glittered cardstock.  Mini pompoms accent the front.

The green mat was die cut using the deckled edgers and then dry embossed using one of my favorite Christmas embossing folders from Crafters Companion (Christmas Merriment).  Nuvo Embellishment Mousse (Aloe Vera) was used to highlight the raised portions.

Now it's your turn to come play with us at the Scrapy Land Challenge.  You have until Oct 14 to upload your projects for a chance to win one of two $10 gift certificates to go shopping at Scrapy Land.

It's almost here!!! We will be celebrating this major milestone in two more weeks.  There will be fabulous prizes and a blog hop.  Mark your calendars as you don't want to miss this one!
