Halloween Banner

msurette — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:34:14 +0000

I saw a Halloween Banner on this site thru Paper Punch Addition.

I thought it was so cute so I had to copy it! I’m going to use this for a decoration in my upcoming craft shows.

The banner is made with the Perfect Pennant Bigz L die. To get the matted colors, just use the Perfect Pennant big triangle and o cut off 1/4″ of one of the long sides.

The ghosts are punched from the Owl punch and so is the vampire.

He was a little tricky. But he’s all Owl punch pieces pieced together. His mouth is from Make a Monster.

The Tombstone is the small tag punch. I made the grass from a scrap of Old Olive cut with scissors.

The pumpkin is just 3 ovals glued together.

Halloween Bingo Bits

I’ve been in my stamp room for over 3 hours tonight trying to think up the last card for tomorrow nights class. After 3 ugly cards, I went to Stampin’ Pretty and was inspired by this card. I try to think up cards myself, but I need inspiration.

This is the third project for tomorrow night. Talk about last minute!!!

Halloween Note Pads

Ok, two posts tonight!

These are the cutest, easiest things to make. The hardest part is getting the 5″ x 8″ note pads cut correctly at my local office supply store! What an ordeal THAT was! You want buy a package of 12 of the 5 x 8 small note pads. Have have them make 2 cuts to make 2 – 8″ x 2″ pads like these below. Make sure they cut from the right side so you don’t end up with the red line down the front. They should charge you about $2.00 per through a stack of them.

One other issue I had with the office supply place is that they told me “my” pads had staples in them and it broke the blade. The pads were “their” pads I purchased from them! Couldn’t they see the staples???? NO! What a fiasco that was. Time to change where I get my pads cut!!!

Let’s just look at these cute things! I put magnets on the back so they can be put on the fridge. Great craft fair items!!!

Look for these in an upcoming class in September as well!

Each month, I give my Club Hostess’s a gift for being in my club. This month is these cute canning jars filled with Reece’s Peanut butter cups. They were very easy to do and work up so fast!

Anyone can join my long distance club. Check out my clubs page for more information!

I can’t take the credit for this one! I saw this on SCS and just had to make it!!

The tubes can be found on Annies Arts & Crafts. I just filled the tubes with Reese Pieces and used circles and triangles for the face. JUST TOO CUTE!!! Look for this in an upcoming class in early October!

Halloween that is!!! I love Halloween! It’s definitely my favorite time of year!!!!

A lot of new stuff came today!!! Very happy to stamp all night last night. I should be packing for Disney, but I’d rather stamp!

When I saw the Halloween DSP from the catalog, I wasn’t to thrilled with it, but I bought it anyway. When I saw it in person, I really liked it! I guess I do have to buy everything to see it!!! I also got the new Spider Web embossing plate. LOVE IT!!!! I saw a video of using the embossing plates on cocktail napkins. Wouldn’t using the Spider Web embossing plates on black cocktail napkins be great for a Halloween party???
