A Perfect Pick from my Paper Pumpkin Patch



O.K. Crafters, try and say that phrase several times in a row! LOL! Just had to add a little humor and fun to this post. So by now, that perfectly carved Halloween pumpkin probably looks like a 2 week old refrigerator specimen or possibly your beautifully decorated masterpiece looks better suited for the retirement home than as a door step decoration. If this is the case, I have the perfect solution, just in time for your Thanksgiving festivities! Check out this cool Pumpkin Candy Dish creation I made from a clay pot, paper bag and a CD. It took some paint, papers, floss, buttons, pipe cleaners, leaves and Glue Arts adhesives to totally complete the look, but what a cheerful and functional pumpkin it turned out to be! Use this as a table decoration, fill with nuts or candies, and when it is time to store it away for next year, simply stuff some tissue paper between the paper pieces to prevent it from getting scrunched! If you would like to know how I created this project, send me an email!

Get Swept Away with These Halloween Treat Pouches!

These two-sided broomstick pouches lace up 
the side with ribbon so minimal glueing is 
involved. They feature two new Stampin’ Up!®
Halloween sets: Halloween Frights and Eat, 
Drink & Be Scary. The only difference between 
these two mini pouches is the moon. On the left,
I used white embossing powder to make it
really bright & I used bleach to remove the 
paper color in the sample on the right.
I used a mini tootsie pop to create 
the witch’s broomstick.


Here is a closer detail view of
the embossed version of the moon.


Here is the close up view showing
a bleached out moon.


Here is a much larger size of the broomstick
pouch to fit a larger size lollipop.


This is a detail view of the tag attached
to the ribbon lacing. The spooky type was
done by randomly dragging a black marker
over the rubber stamp inked with green galore ink.
