Make It Your Own
One of the best kits in recent months is the Haunted House kit. This kit makes an adorable 3D haunted house. Here's a picture of the kit from the Stampin Up website. The kit looks great assembled just as the directions indicate. But... what if you did something a bit different with it? What could I transform this cute, simple house into? I made a base out of foam board and then covered it with air dry clay. Once the clay was dry, I used … [Read more...] about Make It Your Own
It’s Time To Focus
Oh my goodness, October is next week. I don't know where the year went, but we are quickly racing into the Holiday Season.

Check back on Monday for Pumpkins! Potions & Spells Bundle (English) - 164357 Price: $46.75 Potions & Spells … [Read more...] about It’s Time To Focus
Hocus Pocus Part 2
In playing with the cauldron die, I thought it would be fun to make it into a 3D treat holder. I die cut two of the cauldrons, and then made a long strip that would fit between the two. This is what it looks like. Here is a view from the side showing the black band between the two. Basically, you made a long strip and score it .25" inches from each side so you have an area that you can glue to the front and the back. The box area in … [Read more...] about Hocus Pocus Part 2
Hocus Pocus
I know I share a version of this matchbook treat holder every year, and they are still just as popular as the first time I shared it. So, how can I not continue to share this project? This is what it looks like closed. Here is the open treat holder. The candy is stapled inside the treat holder to make sure it stays in place. I did some math and figured out a solution to maximize how many of these you can get out of a single 8.5x11 … [Read more...] about Hocus Pocus
The Haunted Mansion
Before I get to today's project, I just wanted to share a reminder about October's Join Special. For our 35 Anniversary, Stampin Up is running a Starter Kit promotion from October 3rd to 31st. There are two different options to pick from. And now for today's project... the Haunted Mansion wreath. This mansion is created from a set of dies to create a variety of houses. The set has a bunch of different sizes of buildings, plus add-ons to … [Read more...] about The Haunted Mansion

Matchbook M&Ms
One of my all time favorite treat holders is this matchbook M&M holder. So simple, yet so cute. You staple the M&M bag inside and then decorate the matchbook. This is what it looks like open. I used the Happy Halloween strip to hide the staple. I had fun decorating the front with the pumpkin jack-o-laterns. The matchbook is so small it doesn't need a lot. What do you do for Halloween? Do you pass out … [Read more...] about Matchbook M&Ms
