Halloween Fun!

I wanted to make a treat for the ladies in my BUNCO group.  I made 12 milk cartons, Artiste, page 46.  I'm a tightwad so I cut four on a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock, they were cut at 2.5".  I made six of each color using Smokey Plum and Sunset, they're quite tiny but I think they're cute.  I used the Magic Potions stamp set for the labels, cut from Artiste using the suggested sizes on the package.  I'm sure if I'd had more time I could have done more embellishing, but I'll give myself more time next year.

Then later...
I always say I work better under pressure.  I wasn't really under pressure but since Halloween is today I wanted to use up some things I made by mistake.  They say there are never mistakes in crafting and I don't remember the rest of it, so it must be that it gives you a new chance to show your creativity.
So I had an extra treat tube, a coffin box and popcorn box cut from Artiste, as well as extra labels.  It could have been done with a variety of colors but still the old man won't care what his candy is in as long as he gets to have candy.  

Have a great day.  Go do something for yourself, maybe a breast exam?  

Trick or Treat!

I've challenged myself many times since I began with Close to My Heart.  Today I finished this Trick or Treat for my grandkids.  The base is the coffin from the Artiste Cricut cartridge, cut at the suggested size of 7.5" from black cardstock.  I used the Martha Stewart circle cutter to create the holes in the lid.  The treat tubes are filled with different candies and labeled using the Magic Potions stamp set.  Of course the labels were cut from Smokey Plum cardstock, using the Artiste cartridge.  They were cut the sizes suggested on the stamp set package and stamped using black ink.  I hope the kids love it as much as I loved making it for them.
