Let Me Share Some October Projects from our Guest Patti G

Sorry for not posting these sooner, our guest for October, Patti G from Cherish Each Precious Day has finished her visit with us.
Let me share some of her projects- you will love them!

 Isn't this the creepiest idea? That is good, and a fun project to share.

The first is a color-blocked card.  I chose to use the cream base, with an orange grid.  I had a good time testing many of my forgotten stamps, trying to find the right fit for the openings.

Stamps are Inkadinkado and Hero Arts.  Coloring was done using colored pencils and mineral spirits.  The Designer Paper was from an Autumn Mat Stack by DCWV.

 I started with the Apron Die Cut.  Added some great designer paper from The Paper Studio.  Mmmmm....Pumpkin Pie?  Who can resist that?   Added  a Tag Die Cut, a sentiment from Hero Arts, and a bit of green seam binding ribbon from Stampin' Up.


I want to thank Patti G for being our guest and sharing so many wonderful projects. I know she gave me lots of ideas.Hopefully Patti G will come back again to visit.

Halloween Treat Boxes

It's almost Halloween!

I thought I would share a couple of cute ideas for giving out goodies to those little special kids in your life.

Both of these boxes are die cuts from Creative Cuts & More.

This one is Matchbox #01 Large cut from Orange Bazzill Canvas Textured Cardstock.

I decorated it with stamps from The Rubber Cafe.

This box is the Coffin Box which I had cut from Black Neenah cardstock.

I embossed the images from The Rubber Cafe with white embossing powder.

Both of these would be a lot of fun to send in to your child's classroom for a Halloween treat!

They are quick and easy to make and go together easily with some Killer Tacky Tape.

I hope you liked my projects today!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween, everyone! It's Darsie here, and I just love, love, love Halloween! There are so many fun ways to create with diecuts, and today I chose to make spooky candy boxes using the Coffin box diecut!

For this coffin candy box, I cut an oval out of the coffin lid, then embossed it with an embossing folder from Quickutz. I swiped Brilliance White ink over the entire coffin lid and base to give it that "aged stone" look. I accented the coffin with some sparkly red and black tulle, and an adorable Dracula image by Repeat Impressions which I glued to lollipops! I added a few rhinestone bats, and I was finished!

My next candy box was more on the simple side! I added the Small Spider diecut, which I had embossed with a Swiss Dots Folder. I also embossed the lid, same as above, and aged it with the Brilliance White ink. My spider web is from a Martha Stewart punch. I added a few rhinestones for eyes on the spider, a sticker for the sentiment, a big fluffy tulle bow and I was done!

LYNN STEVENS - BOXES

Hello Everyone - This is Chris Dickinson here! I took the month of September off and it is taking me some time to get back into the swing of things here. September, we had the VERY talented Lynn Stevens as our Guest Designer, and I feel as if I failed her! I want to apologize to her for not having this posted last month.

Check out this HAUNTING project created by Lynn! WOW! Here are the details from Lynn...

What fun I had creating these treat boxes for Halloween. I used the coffin treat box for this. It is so easy to put together. The stamps are from the newest Artistic Outpost Haunted Halloween plate. I used the torn frames technique from the Technique Junkies Newsletter.

For my next project I used the Matchbox Large and spider die cut from Creative Cuts & More

The technique uses Worn Wallpaper from TJ latest newsletter.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!

Steph Zerbe here.

Halloween is near.... I just had to decorate the Coffin Box again this year. I decorated some last year too, see all of our Coffin Box posts HERE. It's so easy to assemble and a ton of fun to decorate.

I used Waltzingmouse's Midnight Feast set along with their Vintage Circle set. I paired them up with a single pumpkin from Clear & Simple Stamps Pumpkin Patch set. Love them all!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween!

I can hardly believe Halloween is tomorrow! I used the witch and spider die cuts from Creative Cuts and More to make these "wicked spooky" cards.


I used the coffin box, acetate box, small pumpkin and larger flourish to make this (quick and easy) spooky set:


Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Exclusive Coffin Boxes

Looking for some fabulous ideas for Halloween gifts & goodies? There's still plenty of time to order from Creative Cuts & More!

One of our favorite ideas is the exclusive coffin box, and one example is shown here:



For this creation, Lila used the exclusive coffin box die cut out of Bazzill Bling Flirty cardstock. She also made spectacular use of spiders cut from two-sided Tacky Tape and covered them with Beetle Black Doodlebug Glitter. Aren't they perfectly spooky?
