Trick or Treat.....Halloween Door Hanger {PKS}

Hi Everyone!!!

Hope you are all having a GREAT weekend so far!

The weather is beautiful here and while I did sneak away to make a project for this week's Peachy Keen Stamps Anything Goes Challenge, I will be heading out shortly to go to my son's football game!

It is the annual Pink Bowl...sponsored by a local MRI business and all the boys load themselves up with pink. The company gives the whole football organization pink socks and then the boys go ahead and add pink to whatever else they can. I made some pink vinyl dog bones (they are the Bulldogs) to put on their helmets and it is truly one amazing site to see!

Now back to my project....The PKS challenge was anything goes...which believe it or not is a hard one...just figuring out what to make when it can be anything...well it really had me thinking. So since Halloween is coming up, I thought I would make a cute door hanger to place on the door of my son to fill with some goodies..

 (yeah I will be making another one too..can't make one for the little one without the bigger one wanting one too...LOL)

Here it is, hope you like it!!!!

Yes I know there are no treats in this right now....If I had them in the house to put in here they would have been eaten already by myself...so it was best to not have the yummies around in the first place :) They will be here in time for Halloween!

So for my box, I used a file from the Silhouette store and cut it out with white cardstock and then the layers using designer paper from K&Company. The box was so super easy to put together and then they rest came to embellishing it. Since it is going to my boys, I wanted to keep it pretty simple. You know how boys can be...it is all about the goods that are inside :)

Here is a closeup of my Candy Corn teddy bear. Isn't he adorable???? I again cut him out using my Cameo. I found that the base layer didn't fit the pieces very well so I made my own mat to place him on. After having all the pieces cut, I wanted to add more to them for some added texture and dimension, so I chalked up the edges a bit, stamped my PK face and added some chalk, white gel pen and some copic color to him as well as bringing out my sewing machine to add some stitching to the candy corn.

Finally to finish off my treat box, I added a May Arts Ribbon bow, orange clothes pin that I had in my stash as well as a tag that I die cut from My Creative Time's Build a Banner. I used the sentiment "To and From" for the PKS September SOTM kit and the "Trick or Treat" is from the new October SOTM Kit.

Supplies Used:

Paper~ 

White, Black, Kraft, Yellow, Orange (Stash)

K&Company Spooktacular

Stamps~ 

Peachy Keen Stamps~

PK~411 Cute & Cuddly

PK~ September SOTM (to and from)

Boo!......{Halloween Challenge Card}

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!!

I am back with another Halloween card...this one for the Peachy Keen Stamps New Release Challenge #1 as well as a few other challenges my card fit into. 

The challenge over at PKS was to use only 2 colors...sounds pretty easy until you go to make it.... After going though my Halloween paper collection, I found some fun patterns that were only purple and black so those are the colors I went and made a 

cute purple monster based on the sketch that you can see below from Inspired by Stamping

I hope you like my card :)

What do you think??? Lots of purple that is for sure....LOL!

And such an adorable monster too :)

Here he is up close.

 I added my PK Make a Monster Face to him, colored in his eye and mouth with my white gel pen and the rest of his face with my purple copic marker.

I also chalked him up a bit to give him some more dimension and color.

Here is the other side of the card. I used MCT Stitched Vintage Label die for the banner as well as the Lowercase Fun Dies for the sentiment.

I tied a bow using some crinkle ribbon from 3GJ and added a button from my stash embellished with the new release Totally Grape Trendy Twine.

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Black, DCWV~The Spooky Time Stack

Stamps~ Peachy Keen Stamps~PK-691 Make a Monster Face

Dies/Cuts~Short Monster~Silhouette Store

My Creative Time~ Lowercase Fun Dies

My Creative Time~ Stitched Vintage Label Die 

Embellishments~ Trendy Twine~ Totally Grape

3GJ Crinkle Ribbon~Tuxedo Black

chalk, button, white gel pen

So there is my card for today! I sure hope you like it!

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your hump day!!

Pumpkin Fry Boxes.......{Challenge Entry}

Hi Everyone!

I am back with another post for today...OMG that is 3 in one day...LOL!!

It's such a busy day over here, I had 2 DT projects that I was sharing and now this fun challenge entry project,

So if you are looking for my Trendy Twine project please click HERE

and if you are looking for my Kraft Journal project please click HERE

I wanted to play along in some more challenges, for one the New Release Challenge going on over at Peachy Keen Stamps as well as a few others that I frequently play along in and seeing that we are all sharing Halloween Treats I have another one that I would like to show you.

I am going to give these to my boy's bus drivers for Halloween, they are both awesome and are always giving the kiddo's treats so now it is time to give them a treat.

I sure hope they like them!!! 

Eeeeekkkk...Aren't these adorable?? Before I go on, I just wanted to share that the challenge over at PKS was to make a 3D Halloween project...I think this fits the theme!

They were so easy to make and can for sure be mass produced and filled with anything!!!

I do have individual pictures of each of these cuties so you can see them a bit better.

Here is the first one...I used the same products both, except changed the PK pumpkin faces. The fun file is from SVG Cutting Files~ Halloween Fry Box Set and I cut all the pieces except for the face, so I could stamp my PK face on instead.

And here is the other pumpkin. The sentiment is from My Creative Time and I tied the tag onto the treats using some of the new Trendy Twine~ Totally Limeade! 

Supplies Used:

Paper~ DCWV The Ghost & Goblin Stack

Stamps~ Peachy Keen Stamps~PK-550 Pumpkin Faces

My Creative Time~Fright Night

Dies/Cuts~ SVG Cutting Files~Halloween Fry Box Set

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

This is my second post for today....so if you are looking for my Trendy Twine DT project please click HERE

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

And this week the challenge is:

Buttons, Bows or Bangles

So for my inspiration today, I made another Halloween card...this one CAS and cute so I hope you like it!

I started my card out using a base of the Light Kraft Cover weight Cardstock and adding a layer of textured white card stock. To give my card some more detail,  I ran the mat through my sewing machine to give it a border. Using  the My Creative Time~ All Around Halloween stamp set, I took the fun sentiment and some  Walnut Stain Distress Ink and "painted" the ink onto my stamp with the brush tip side of the pen.  

Putting the card aside, I started on the cute pumpkin. He is a die cut from  the Cottage Cuts Pumpkin Trio dies and after I cut him out and chalked the edges, I stamped that adorable Peachy Keen face using the PKS~Pumpkin Faces stamp set. I added some white gel pen to the eyes and more chalk to his cheeks. Finally to finish him off I added a green button from my stash and some Earthy Hemp Cord

So there you have it....

my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!

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

Now onto my project...

I shared a little sneak at the top of the post but here is my full tag.

I LOVE making them and thought I would keep this one simple, playing off the colors in the 

Trick or Treat Twine

here it is....hope you like it!

This is how I put my tag together...

I started out using the PTI tag die and some white textured card stock. Next I pulled out my Tricks and Treats paper pad from Pebbles and found the two papers that matched the Trick or Treat Trendy Twine the closest. I only wanted a little color added to the tag so I cut and tore some of the designer paper and taped it to the bottom of my tag. 

Next, using my Cameo and a cute file from the Silhouette Store I cut the witch's hat and also cut a border piece so I could add the Trick or Treat TT behind the cuts and then have something to mount the hat to. To get the twine to stick on the back of the hat and cover the parts that were die cut, I ran some red line double sided tape along the back and also used some Tombow Mono Aqua liquid glue. Using cut pieces of the twine, I laid them side by side to cover the opening. After everything was dried, I popped the hat onto the mat and then glued it to my tag.

Finally to finish my tag, I used another PTI banner die and stamped my sentiment using an old Fiskars stamp set~Halloween Night.  I embellished the top with some Tuxedo 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon, a button from my stash and some more Trick or Treat TT.

Well there you have it...

I hope you like my tag :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Day!!!
I sure hope to see you play along in our challenge!!!

Morning everyone!!

Hope you are all having a GREAT weekend so far! I am off to my son's football game today but wanted to pop in with my entry for this week's Peachy Keen Stamps challenge.

For this challenge we were asked to create a project using the color photo as our inspiration. So I took the corn from the pic as well as the colors and paired it up with the sketch from 

The Deconstructed Sketch

  

And here is what I came up with......

I started my card out with a Kraft cardstock base and added my layer of designer paper. I am sure you all know by now how much I love my sewing machine so I did add a border around the base mat and then another one around the mat for that adorable corn stalk (PK~292 Faceless Corn). After stamping my corn stalk on the background paper, I stamped it two more times on the yellow and green designer papers....all from the Echo Park Happy Camper paper pack. I paper pieced the corn, glued the pieces onto the stamped designer paper and then took the whole layer and attached it to my card.
Following the sketch, I added another strip of brown polka dot paper from the same stack and then stamped my sentiment on the green using the PKS~ Faceless Corn stamp set. I used 2 more corns that I paper pieced for the embellishment next to the sentiment, adding some Jute Sting to the tops. As the final finishing touches, I placed some navy candi's on each of the corners and added some white gel pen to the pks corn faces.
So there you have it! What do you think???

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Kraft, Echo Park~Happy Camper

Stamps~ Peachy Keen Stamps Faceless Corn

Embellishments~ Jute String-Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions

Sewing Machine

Candi's

white gel pen, hot glue
