I made two different treat boxes to share with you today

For my 1st treat box I used

Design ID #66961 from the Silhouette Store

This file only have a few cuts, but it took forever because

of all the little windows.  It has them on all 4 sides. 

I used Tim Holtz Distress inks

to color my label

and Zing Embossing Powder for the sentiment

 

For my next treat box I made a

simple Eye-catching treat :) 

 The eyes are from Peachy Keen's
The  Uglies Stamp Set.  I colored them
with my Spectrum Noir markers and
added Glossy Accents.
The Label is from Too Cute by Jessica's
Lots of Labels  file.

 I filled my box up with

came from Frightfully Cute

 I used Peachy Keen's Uglies for this face

 This spooky sentiment is from

CDD's Ghostly Greetings

 

For my second project I made a spooky treat bag using

the Haunted House from the TCBJ Trick or Treat file and

the sentiment is also from CDD's Ghostly Greetings.

Here is a close up of the sentiment

I used a couple of different Cuttlebug folders

to emboss the moon and house.

I inked up the bag using

Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Frankenstein's Bride

Hello all my crafty friends!!

I am sharing a spooky cute card today

using one of the new Too Cute By Jessica

Halloween Files called Frankenstein's Bride

I love this adorable and could not wait to use it!!

I used just the bride for my card. 

I love the way my card turned out!!

I used a Cuttlebug folder

to emboss the base of my card.

The pattern papers are from Doodlebugs

Ghouls and Goodies line.

I used the Cuttlebug Spider Stew folder

to emboss her dress and Divine Swirls for her hair.

  I used Liquid Pearls to make the bandages on

her arms  and the stripes in her hair. 

Her face was stamped using Peachy Keen's

Laughy Taffy faces.

I added some Recollections Blings

and a paper rose.  The rose was a little too

large so I removed some petals.

The labels she is sitting on

are from Too Cute By Jessica's

Lots of Labels  

 The sentiment comes from Crafin Desert Divas

Wonderfully Wicked Stamp Set

I am entering the card in the following challenge:

that my skeleton can enjoy in the afterlife...lol

Now of course this sentiment from Ghostly Greetings is perfect.

I used Zing Embossing Powder

and Versamark Ink.

 

Now for my 2nd project, I made

a fun shaker tag with the fun Halloween Bears

file from TCBJ that is only available to

anyone who purchases a stamp set!!

The candy corn paper is from Imaginisce ,

the rest is from my favorite Doodlebug!!

Now I think I put my bears ears a little

too high, so she looks more like a mouse.

But she is still cute, right :)

Her face is from Peachy Keen's

Teddy Bear Faces. 

The sweet sentiment is from Batty for You
