Halloween treats!

Hi Friends,

I've been so busy at home and haven't been able to post for a while but I found some time to share a quick 'Halloween treats' post with you today that I made for my son's class!

For the kids treats I used a spider and bat image from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons and a cauldron, and owl from Miss Kate Cuttables. For the teachers treat I used this file from the Silhouette Design Store which is a Lori Whitlock file and the monster title from Miss Kate Cuttables.

I also made some paper clips using jumbo clips in orange and purple and added some dotted ribbon.

I added a Halloween marshmallow chocolate bar into the envelope and sealed it with a print and cut sticker. The sticker paper I used was a very thin one from Staples.

To carry all these treats to school my son will be using his Halloween bag. I used printable transfer paper (for dark material ... seems to works better than the light version!) and used my heat press to adhere it to the bag. The image is from Studio Ilustrado and can be found in their store as well as the Silhouette Design store and is currently on SALE!

Thank you for visiting today.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Something for my son!

Hi Friends,

Just a quick stop to show you my latest project I made for my son. He loves Minecraft as a lot of kids and adults do!

I've been wanting to make him a cushion for his bed and decided to buy all the bits and put it together when I found a free moment. I don't sew so the cushion cover (which I think is a perfect colour match) and cushion inner were purchased from Ikea. I had some black HTV at home already so all I needed to do was create the 'Creeper' face and decide on the layout and size.

To save on vinyl (which is costly to waste) I ended up cutting each face individually instead of on one big sheet and just eyeballed it when I ironed them onto the cover. It was pretty easy to lay them out - I started at the top, then matched the bottom three, then the middle three and then I filled in the row of two's.

Now it's back to creating my festive teacher gifts!

Thank you for visiting!

Happy Crafting!

Halloween Card Swap!

Hi Friends,

Today I'm sharing a card with you that I made for a Card Swap group that I joined in Canada. I love working with paper especially creating 3D projects but I'm new to making cards and not very confident when trying to get my ideas down onto paper! So joining this group challenges me to get it done!

This months theme is Halloween so after many different ideas I finally came up with the following card ... last minute changes and add ons ...

Cardstock was from my ever growing stash, the ghost image (Happy Haunting) was from Too Cute by Jessica a freebie from a recent Blog Hop on Craftin Desert Divas and the 'ribbon' text (Halloween Title Set $0.50) was from Miss Kate Cuttables. Both images were printed and I used the Silhouette print and cut feature.

I hope my card swap buddy enjoys this card!

Thank you for visiting!

Halloween with SandyPieCREATIONS @ Scrap Orchard!

Hello friends!

I'm so excited for Halloween - it's such a scary, exciting and fun time for our family! I enjoy seeing all the great costumes when the kids come to our house to Trick or Treat!

There are so many awesome Halloween creations being displayed online on the blogs and Facebook groups I follow - I really love this crafty world :-)!

Today I'm sharing my SandyPieCREATIONS Hybrid Creative Team HALLOWEEN project!

For this project I used the Witch's Hat cutting file from Sandy's store at Scrap Orchard and a Halloween acetate sheet and cardstock I had in my stash and added a tea light in the treat base section to give the hat a GLOW!

The file was easy to cut and put together and is currently on SALE!

Happy Halloween and thanks for visiting!

Card ... oh card!

Hello everyone!

I love using my die cutting machine for all my projects - especially 3D projects which are awesome! - but I'm struggling a bit with cards ...!

So todays challenge to myself was to make a thank you card for our neighbour who baked my hubby a rhubarb crumble for his birthday and to thank her for making me buy some vanilla bean ice cream to go with it! ;-)

I love the last minute addition of the flower and accessory!

I had an already made card base from Michaels in my stash so I decided to use that - anything to ease myself into cards - and the patterned paper is from the 'South of Market' collection paper pad, Studio Calico (which has some fab patterns).

Thanks for visiting,

*Vicki*
