Halloween Candy Holder
Filed Under 3D Project, Halloween | 2 Comments
This fun little candy holder was one of my Stamp-A-Stack projects this past week. Don’t miss my monthly “Stamp a Stack of Stuff”!
The inspiration came from a gift card holder that I’ve made in the past (the finished product is only 3 1/4 x 4 1/2). However the unique ‘closure’ uses the ‘Batty for You’ spider adhered with a black brad, allowing the top fold to hold itself closed was a great idea I got from a recent swap (forgot the gal’s name–I can’t find the swap!).
Updating it for Halloween, I made the fold over ‘gusseted’ by adding a 1/4 inch wide panel in the middle of the 6 x 4 1/4 inch Mustard fold over. That way it could hold something 3D–in this case the fun 
sized candy!
The cover is “Spooky Skyline” rolled in black on Wild Wasabi (green) and the spooky skyline was helped out by tearing and the addition of a torn strip of vellum cardstock.
The witch (from ‘Home is Where the Haunt Is’) was stamped on Always Apricot, punched and then sponged again (in Apricot) for the whole “cloudy night sky” effect–I don’t know if you can tell!
Oh yeah, I couldn’t resist the great boogly eyes added to the spider–I’m a sucker for that stuff!

Autumn Harvest Scrapbook Page
Filed Under Halloween, Memory Project | 4 Comments
Well, I broke down and mailed Stampin’ Up!© three cards (Holy Triptych, Thankful Season card & the ‘Elegant Baroque Motifs’ cards shown in earlier posts), a 3D project (the altered clipboard shown in an earlier post) and the hardest thing–a scrapbook page shown above. I am hoping to be chosen for a display helper for Leadership or Convention so wish me luck. I don’t love this page, but it did look better in person and I am really feeling ’scrap impaired’ lately.
This 12×12 page is Always Artichoke with the ‘Batty For You’ wheel rolled in Artichoke ink. The Autumn Harvest pumpkin set was stamped in black and colored in with my favorite things–watercolor crayons and the accent color is Pumpkin Pie but it does not photograph the right color and the coloring looks washed out to me, oh well!
The ‘date’ elements are from the ‘It’s a Date’ set, which I absolutely love. One layer is the month, one is the day and one is the year and I circled the days and dates.
The Autumn Harvest set is the stamp set that you will receive at our Team Rubber Stamp Festival… my customers may sign up here. Don’t delay the registration closes in less than a week!
I will be sharing more ideas with this set in the next week or so (I do tend to fixate, don’t I?) If you LOVE this set, remember to support the demo that supports YOU (but tell her when you buy it that she owes me 10% of her commission, LOL!).

Again with the envelopes (and my new favorite set). I want all you ladies out there who are rushing to your demonstrator to purchase this set to let your rep know she can Paypal me 10% of her commission, LOL!
The envelopes that I used are the same ones in my last post, they are the Large Open End Envelopes. They come in white and vanilla. I put the link to them because I was getting so many questions about where I got them… duh! Stampin’ Up!
Close the envelope (by licking it shut), cut the top 4 inches off and embellish (I do tend to ‘over-do’). Stamp and then corrugate the bottom so that it ends up slightly smaller than the top. You’ll find it now fits in nicely into the top to hold a gift certificate or money.
I generally make more of these at the holiday time for Christmas gift certificates and I’ll be sharing my snowman ones soon.
I guess I should go to bed now…
