Halloween 2010

I'm a little late in posting, but here are some of the things I made for Halloween.

These are treat bags I made for the kids in my neighborhood. The images are from Mini Monsters. I sized them with my Gypsy and used the Hide/Contour feature to eliminate the placement marks for the faces. Then I used stamps from Peachy Keen to stamp their eyes and mouths.  The sentiment stamps are from My Pink Stamper and the paper is from DCVW. I also used the Martha Stewart 'Drippy Goo' punch.

I love these Peachy Keen stamps ... the little three-eyed monster face is my favorite.

For the glass block, I used vinyl and the Pumpkin Carvings cartridge. I cut a small piece of yellow vellum and layered it between the vinyl and the glass block.  Here's the back side:

Finally, I totally stole this idea from Greenbean from the Cricut Circle message board. She comes up with some of the cutest stuff ... check out her blog here.

They're glass ornaments ... the inside was coated with Martha Stewart glow-in-the-dark glitter using the 'floor wax' technique ... Joy has a great video for glitter ornaments here.
The spiders are from Doodlecharms. I added googly eyes and a little ribbon. Hope you like my projects. Now it's on to Thanksgiving!

Halloween Treats Holders ... Just a Little Late

Okay ... Halloween was three weeks ago, but I was so please with the way these turned out, I thought I would post them anyway. I made these for my co-workers ... this was my first Gypsy project. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More for the base and welded a ghost and bat from Paper Doll Dress Up on the top. They were cut from double sided Stampin' Up paper. Then I "layered-on" ghosts and bats and added a little doodling. The tags were made using Nestibilities and a Stampin' Up stamp. When folded, these are just the right size to hold a Ghirardelli chocolate square.

I especially like that I was able to cut 3 treat holders from one 12x12 sheet of paper with very little waste!
