Ghost Treat Bag

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have another Saturday Sweet Treat packaging idea to share with you.  This project is a SUPER YUMMY, sweet treat packaging.  Let me jump right in with my share.

This fun little treat bag is created with a 3-3/4" x 11" piece of Black cardstock.  That piece is scored at 4, 6 and 10.

I used the 'Them Bones Designer Series Paper' to decorate the front of my bag.

I used the 2nd largest 'Stylish Shapes Dies' to crop out the center section of my bag......... 

And this gave me the peek-a-boo window for my candy to shine through.

I topped my bag off with some 'White Iridescent Ribbon' and added a spooky little ghost (from the 'Tricks & Treats Dies').

I did crop out a larger outline circle with the 2nd and 3rd 'Stylish Shapes Circles Dies'.  And that just got added to the front of my bag.

And here's a little look at how this bag looks when the lights are turned out.  The ghost actually GLOWS IN THE DARK.

Just doesn't get any EASIER.

Hope you have fun making these!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spotlight Sunday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Double Gate Fold

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Fun Fold Friday and that means I have a special little Fun Fold Card to share with you. Let's kick off this Fun Fold Friday share right now.........

This card starts off with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Black base.  It is scored at 2-1/8" and 6-3/8".  The front two panels were decorated with White cardstock and 'Them Bones Designer Series Paper'.

My sentiment piece for the center was layers of Black, Cajun Craze and White cardstock.  The sentiment is from the 'Tricks & Treats' set.

This cards opens by releasing the two front interlocking panels.  

And those panels seperate to reveal the inside of my card.

Here is how things look when the top and bottom panel open.

I decorated the inside center of my card with a panel of White cardstock ....

And tucked a CUTE candy corn die-cut piece in the lower right-hand corner.

Here's a look at how things look when you start to close this card back up.......

And the bottom front flap just tucks behind the front sentiment panel.

Just doesn't get any EASIER.

Hope you have fun making these!!!

EEK Frankie Tag

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

My tag share for today starts off with a 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" Black base tag.  I added a 1" x 4-1/4" panel of the 'Them Bones Designer Series Paper' right down the center of my tag.

Next, I cropped a 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" White square and distressed the edges.  I stamped a frankie image from the 'Tricks & Treats' stamp set onto a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock.  I used the coordinating dies to crop out that frankie image and then added him to the center of the White square.

I did add some Black stitching lines around the outer edge of my White square .... And grabbed my White Gel Pen and added several trio dots around the front of my tag.

I added a fun little "EEK!" sentiment to the bottom portion of my tag ..... and that was created with the same 'Tricks & Treats' stamp set.

The finishing touch for this tag was adding some 'Parakeet Party Woven Metallic Ribbon'.....

And called this tag DONE in no time flat.

What do you think my friends????

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........

My card share for today starts off with a Cajun Craze base that measures 5-1/2" x 8-/2".  It is scored at 4-1/4".

Next, I added a White cardstock panel and added a panel of the 'Them Bones Designer Series Paper' together and positioned that right in the center of my base card.

To the top of that DSP panel ..... I added a layering panel of White, Cajun Craze and White cardstock.  That was positioned directly in the center of my card ..... and over that DSP panel I had just adhered down.

The final layering panel was White and colored cardstock panel ..... and that was adhered over the center of the layers.

I added three spooky little ghost to the center of that last panel.  Those little cuties were cropped out using the 'Tricks & Treats Dies'.  I also added a cropped out "Boo" from that same die cut set.

The finishing touch was adding a panel of White cardstock and more of that DSP to the inside....And I used the 'Tricks & Treats' stamp set to create my sentiment message.

And there you have it friends.

This card was DONE in no time flat.

Spooky Scissors House

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is '3D TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I created and want to share with you.  This project was SO FUN to create .... and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

Twice a year ...... I attend the Scissors and the City Retreat that Sandy and Dale put on in Tucson, AZ.  At these retreats ..... We spend three days working on our projects - chatting - laughing and sharing.  The FUN that Sandy and Dale add to our event ...... They add Make n' Takes each day for us to create (I'll share some of those make n' takes later this month).  This year ..... They offered us a bonus project and we received all the material to make this DARLING Halloween lantern.    Here's a link to Sandy and Dales Scissors and the City website:  Upcoming Retreats (scissorsandthecity.com)

This lantern sits on a base that kicked this project up several levels.

The center section of the lantern was decorated with DSP and vellum.

Each side has a SPOOKY & FUN image on it.

This witch is just ADORABLE!

And the spider web included a wandering spider.

Our roof was created using some orange glitter paper and we topped it off with a SUPER FUN black bow.

And here's a close up look at the black moss we added to the bottom frame.

BEST PART ...... The center holds a battery tea light.

The entire project took off once the lights went out.

And there you have it friends.......

What do you think????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Wine Down Wednesday card with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Autumn Teaches Upgrade

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends! 

Today is Mix-It-UP! Monday, and I have an upgraded version of the card I shared with you yesterday.  I used the exact same product that was used to create yesterday's card ..... But I changed things up to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here's my Spotlight Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM....

The first upgrad I made to my card for today was change up the orientation from a landscape style card to a portrait style card.  I kept the base of my card for today Very Vanilla.  The size was 4-1/4" x 11" and it was scored at 5-1/2".

I added a full 4" x 5-1/4" panel of the 'Shing Brights Specialty Paper' to the front of my card....

And addded a Gold panel across the center of my card and then got busy creating my sentiment circle.

I changed up the 'Stylish Shapes' circle to a Very Vanilla circle.  I used the same sentiment for that circle ..... But for my upgraded version, I used 'Gold Embossing Powder' instead of Black.

No changes were made to the three leaves that I added to my circle.

So, what do you think my friends....

Do you have a favorite???

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3D Tuesday share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2023 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog.  This card uses several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

I started my card off with a Very Vanilla base that was 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and it was scored at 4-1/4".

To the left-hand side of my card front ..... I added a 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" panel of the 'Shining Brights Speciality Paper'.

Next, I got busy and created my sentiment piece.  I used a circle cropped out from the 'Stylish Shapes Circles' using the 'Brushed Metallic Paper'.  I used the 'Autumn Leaves' stamp set to stamp my sentiment.  I used Versa Mark ink and sprinkled it with 'Black Embossing Powder' before heat setting it.

I embellished that circle with three leaves that were cropped out using the 'Autum Leaves Dies'.  To finish those leaves off ..... I added a single 'Brushed Metallic Dot' to the center of each.

And there you have it my friends.....

What do you think?????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share an upgraded version of this very card with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
