Stampers With an Attitude - Scaredy Cat - Blog Hop

This month Stampers With an Attitude are showing Scaredy Cat Artwork With an Attitude! This is a circular hop so if you have come from Jaimie's Blog blog you are right on track!
You are going to absolutely love this paper pack! The designs are fun, the colors bright and bold. You have no chance of making a card or scrapbook page that isn't fun!

I made two very similar cards for this hop -  only because when I turned the center portion of my card over to add the adhesive - I had cut the paper (unknowingly) in the perfect place! So I turned it back over and added the adhesive to the other side, and centered it on my card. It had the sweet little sentiment "By the Light of the Silvery Moon", (no need to add another), and the rustic fence! All I had to do was add the moon, bats and that cute little vampire! I love how this card turned out!

After that happy accident - I had to go back to my original idea and make another card. I am happy to report the original idea turned out just as cute! The ladies in my card club really enjoyed making this card during class. They added 'glittery' bats, and colored their cute little vampires with the new 'ShinHan' markers - IF they wanted to. Did I tell you how much I love the new markers??? They are amazing!
I hope you have as much fun making your Halloween cards as I did - Scaredy Cat makes so easy!

This weeks blog challenge was to post a Halloween card! How fun is that? So I am going to post two pictures (actually 3) of the cards I have made this week. The first one is a darling circle card we made at my friend Shelley's Gathering the other night! It was so fun! Is that just the cutest little ghost you have ever seen?

You can tell I like him because I used him on both cards :~)

 I would love to give credit to the creative lady I got this next card idea from but I cannot remember which blog I found it on! Shame on me!

If this is your design?  Thank you for the cute idea.

Have fun making your own Halloween cards -

Adding Color to Your Crafts

INSOMNIA! Sometimes it's a good thing!

This is what happens when I can't sleep at night!!! I go on line, watch u-tube videos and get some great ideas - then it's time to hit the studio and create - create - create!!! I watched an amazing paper artist (Angie) create the cute little mummy candy holder and the envelope candy holder.  So I just had to try them - Thanks Angie -

The mummy is just torn bamboo card stock. I put mine only on the front, but you could go all the way around - Colonial white cardstock with Desert Sand sponged on the edges would be really cute too. I like the red bling on the mummy eyes - makes them really scarey!!!

While I was putting the mummy together I thought the top of the pillow box looked like owl ears - so, nothing better to do - I made an owl candy holder.Both pillow boxes were cut at 3 1/2" from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I cut the owl feathers and face from some discontinued polka dot paper with the Artiste Cartridge at 3 1/2" (with real dial size off) since I wanted it to fit my 3 1/2" box :~) . I also gave the owl some of the amber bling in his eyes. I think it just makes him look wiser!

The coffin was cut at 3 1/2" also from the Artiste Cartridge, and the skull was cut at 1" (with the real dial size on) and just popped it up with a foam dot!

What can you fit into these cute little candy holders? Tootsie rolls, small packs of M&M's, Peanut Butter cups, the possibilities are endless.

I hope these will give you some inspiration to make some really cute candy holders for your special 'Trick-or-Treaters.
