Candy Corn Card & Cute Treat Boxes w/ Cookie Cutter Halloween Set

I "Cased" this card from Pinterest or someones blog (not sure who to give the credit to)
Anyway, isn't this little candy corn face just adorable?
I used an oval punch, circle punches, and the "Duet Banner Punch".
For the sparkly cheeks, I used some Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper (shown on pg. 55 in the Holiday Catty)

Treat Boxes / Party Favors made by Debbie Kramer, Nancy Bowen & Darlene Anstett.
Again, the "Duet Banner Punch" was used.
The Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper can be found on pg. 51 (Holiday book)

Here is a side view of the treat boxes.
StampinUP carries these "Clear Tiny Treat Boxes" on page 176 in the Annual Catalog

Halloween Night Specialty Paper & Sept. Paper Pumpkin Alternative Project Idea

I used pcs. and parts from the Sept. Paper Pumpkin Kit to make this alternative project.
The bricks & spider web came from the paper "Halloween Night" found on pg. 51 in the Holiday Catty.

Another Halloween card I made using Halloween Night Specialty DSP
I also used Teeny Tiny Wishes for the words and the Classic Label Punch. 

Along with the featured paper, I used the Confetti Stars Border Punch
I also used the 1 3/8 Circle Punch for a mask. (sponged in the moon)
The cute little skeleton guy comes from the "Cookie Cutter Halloween" Set


If you have any questions about these 3 very spooky Cards- don't be afraid to ask! (smile)

Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate with "Get Your Sparkle On" Class Projects

The "sparkle" on this project is the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate in gold.
Also, I used some gold embossing powder for the sentiment

Again, the tag on the left features the designer acetate & the tag on the right features
Gold Sequin Trim and Gold Glimmer Paper.

All class attendees recd this red gift bag and tag they made.
I used the Gold Satin Ribbon and the Gold Foil Sheets to get a little "sparkle" on this project

Although this card holder does not sparkle, it did pack a punch with my ladies.
(Inspired by Sue Boerner)

This is retired designer paper but still very effective.

This magazine style card box holds our regular size cards & envelopes.
Would make a great gift for the holiday, right?

Please contact me for details on this card holder.


Thanks very much for stopping by.  I hope these projects will inspire you to "Get Your Sparkle On"!
