Spooky Treats just for You....{MCT Cook-N-Craft}

Good Morning everyone!

Today I am sharing a project for

MCT's Cook -N- Craft, 

its an anything goes post day BUT we also share a favorite recipe.

Fall is my favorite time of year! The weather cools down, its football season and its 

PUMPKIN time!!

Todays project and recipe is all about pumpkins so lets take a look at my project first!

Total cuteness when it comes to making your own pumpkin treat box! This easy to do project can be made with any color/design of cardstock.
For my project I found some scrap striped paper and used the Stitched Favor Box Die.
Next I stamped the sentiment using the new kit ~Frightful Greetings
For the stem of my pumpkin, I just die cut the top of the Stitched Favor Box in brown cardstock and layered it over the designer paper.
Finishing touches to my project~ I added a green leaf using the die from A Thankful Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now onto my recipe.....

I LOVE pumpkin bread so I am sharing one of my favorites!

 Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2/3 cup water

3 cups white sugar

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour    

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger  

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans.

In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.

"Frightful Greetings"

I had so much fun with this new kit that I made not 1 project but 3 cards to share! Take a look at my inspiration using this new kit!

3 different cards using the same kit~ the possibilities are ENDLESS 

First up is my treat card.....

All of my cards use the same basic design. In this case a purple cardstock base layered with white cardstock and a top cardstock panel die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. Please note that the Stitched Rectangular Frame die is NOT included in this kit but can be picked up in the MCT store HERE.

Using some Wilted Violet Distress Ink and the new Stencil, I made the pattern in both corners of my cardstock. I also stenciled a scrap piece of cardstock that was used to wrap my candy.

The sentiment, from the new kit was stamped onto the front of the card, just under where I was going to place the candy. I did use a circle die to frame my candy piece, adhered the candy to my card front. 

To finish my card, I added a shear white ribbon bow and some purple enamel dots.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Up next is a spooky fun card using the new skeleton stamp/die.

To make this card, I started again with a black cardstock base, a layer of white cardstock and a die cut piece of designer cardstock from my stash.

Next I used the stencil on some white cardstock with Black Soot Distress Ink. Lightly adding a pattern to the piece that I then stamped the sentiment onto. 

Finally I stamped and die cut the new skeleton image on some white cardstock which was then popped up onto the front of the card along with the sentiment. Some added enamel dots finished my card.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My final card is a simple design using the stencil as a focal point.

I stenciled the design onto a piece of white cardstock using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink.

The sentiment was stamped onto the panel in the center of the card.

Finishing my card up with some black and orange enamel dots and a simple Totally Black Trendy Twine bow.
