Halloween treats

For weeks now we've been working on a few Halloween projects for Maelie's party. Here are some of the treats!

Candy corn in a 1 X 8 bag. I copied this idea from here.



I love this little tag!



Here are some witch hats made with the petal cone die from Stampin Up. We just took off one of the sides and then added a scallop at the bottom. It's filled with Jolly Rancher candy. I also copied this idea from someone online but i forget who.



We made the buckle with glitter cardstock.



Here are little candy holders made the the two tag die. I've been putting my dies to use this season!!



Here you can see the inside. Two small chocolate bars stacked one on top of the other.



Last one for today, this is made with another die - the petal die! I just wrapped up a bag of M&Ms inside. I bought those little tags from Shindig Parties to go. I chose a few different patterns I wanted, then sent them online to Bureau en Gros and had them printed in color on 65 lb cardstock. Turned out perfect!! I just punch out or cut out the shapes I want. It's a much cheaper alternative than printing on my own printer since the ink is so pricey. Plus the finish is a bit glossy at Bureau en gros. They don't have service charges when you order online!



I am very pleased with the treats so far! I have plenty more to go! If you saw my craft table ...... ooooof..... scary!!

Halloween invitations 2011

Here are Maelie's Halloween 2011 invitations. They are little owls made with the Sizzix pillow die. There are a few rows of punched out circles as his feathers.



On the inside of the pillow box owl,the invitation is attached with a Halloween bakers twine and there is a little owl on the corner of the paper.



Once you open it up, there is another punched out Halloween owl which is actually back to back with the other one.



I love these! They were time consuming but not as bad as some other invitations I've done over the years! LOL

I found the owl idea online from another blog so it is not my creation. I modified it to look Halloweenish though :)

Recent cards

Here are a few recent cards we worked on for a variety of occasions. They are CASED from other online ideas. :)

Yummy lemonade

I saw this tasty looking lemonade card recently. It's been going around the web for a while and I thought it would be a nice workshop card to make at work. It can be generic and can have many different flavors! It can be an alcoholized beverage... or not!

Cute suitcase box

Sonia bought the cutest suitcase die for the Big Shot!I decided to use it to make a suitcase box for Ingvild's departure.



I put some Stampin up ribbon all around to make it look like leather straps. It also helped to keep the suitcase closed.



This is what it looks like when opened. I filled it with some maple leaf shaped chocolates. It is SOOOOOO cute in person! Very tiny and delicate, yet spacey enough for a nice treat!

bubblegum machine gift

Here is a bubblegum machine gift I made for a friend!
I was inspired by a bubblegum machine party favor i saw online... I got a terra cotta pot and spray painted it red, then I got a glass bowl at dollarama and glue it on top. I put some plastic covered foam in the middle , filled it up with gum, then made some bubblegum machine suckers and planted them in the foam.



Doesn't it look so sweet?

Sympathy cards

We needed two sympathy cards at work this week (unfortunately). Here are the cards I made for them.




Once again, they look much nicer in person!
