and finally this square card opens up by pulling the two corners.

One of our most popular classes for halloween is dressing up your favorite candies for the neighborhood kids, students and co workers. these treats taste so much sweeter when they are packaged with hallowee delight! here are 4 of the 6 halloween treats we'll be making!
skull and crossbones are not just for boys... this is a girly version.. and it reminds me of the skeleton version you would find at the sanrio store. the little box holds mini candies tied with the perfect pink and black ribbon.
this next box is for the candy corn lover. inside.. you can put tea bags or in this case..little pkg'd candy corn treats.
so fun!

We have more fun and exciting halloween cards! These are so much fun and hope you enjoy creating them too!
with this card i used our new damask cardstocks exclusive to our boutique! to make ths glossy look, you first heatset the birds and then add memento reinkers in orange and green and let it drip together and then put the glossy accents on top..it takes forever to dry, but the end result is so cool!
i'm not a fan at all of candy corn when it comes to "eatting" it.. but i am a fan of the colors and shape! so cute and fun! the colors are so happy and i just love the oranges and yellows and creams that come together! this card is all about the candy corn!
for this next card, the brads move up and down and there's a ghost and candy corn inside. i forgot to tell my husband to move the brads away so you can see them.. oh well!
for this next card, i made witchy owl card using fall and hwallowen colors.
this card is one of my favorites. i love the circle eyeball background by i-o. it's so fun. the sentiment is by impression obsession and it's a fun font with the words. the caldron is by karen lockhart designs.
and this last card is a fun banner.. or course.. banners are all over our store. they are so fun to make and show.. you can choose any designs and colors and they all turn out great!
