You may have noticed that I enjoy making Halloween cards and treats so this month will be so much fun!!  I actually pulled out an idea from Mary's playbook and did a slender card with hang overs.

I just LOVE this year's Halloween sets, they are so great together!  COOKIE CUTTER HALLOWEEN plus SPOOKY FUN equals a really cool card!!

I combined classic colors of Halloween with the super cute skeleton.  Did I mention how EASY this was to make??  The COOKIE CUTTER stamp sets have a coordinating COOKIE CUTTER BUILDER PUNCH.  Love it when tools can make my crafting experience easier!  I simply stamped the skeleton and punched him out.  I stamped a bow tie then punched it out....simple as that!  The HALLOWEEN NIGHT DSP gave the card lots of color and pattern and the skeleton made a great focal point.  Only a small portion of stamping was involved and the card was complete in no time!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along wit...

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
