♥ A Halloween Card and Treat Box! ♥

Hi Friends! I have missed crafting so much that I am squeezing in some time for a little fun in between changing diapers, cleaning my home, laundry, cooking, running errands, you know all that other FUN STUFF!! LOL Here is a fun little Halloween set I made. I will be giving this to my 4 yr old son. I will probably fill the little box with some candy (not too much since he will be trick or treating!)and maybe some money so he can go and visit Toys R' Us for a little something! (Most likely a Thomas train!!)

I made the little pumpkin on the box using a styrofoam ball which I covered in some orange glitter, used some The Girls Paperie paper for his eyes, nose and mouth, added some ribbon hair and a little mini witches hat which I made from black cs, covered in glitter and topped off with a sheer ribbon bow. The box is also covered with some Girls Paperie paper, some crocheted ribbon and satin ribbon bow.

For the card, I used some more Girls Paperie paper, a Crafty Secrets cutout which I added more glitter to, some burlap and more crocheted and satin ribbon.

I made this for this week's challenges over at Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings which was to make a Halloween card and/or Treat bag or box. I also used this week's sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You and I also used today's Ways to Use it Challenge over at SCS which was to use fabric on your card (does burlap count??). And last but not least, I used this week's challenge over at the City Crafter Challenge blog, which was to make a card/project that has a vintage feel to it!

♥ heartfelt thanks...A Window Card ♥ 2S4Y

I was starting to make a card for this week's fabulous sketch over at the 2 Sketches 4 You blog, when I saw today's Free for All Challenge over at SCS. I thought, "hmm..I might just have to do that on this card!" It was to make a Window card. I first adhered all my October Afternoon papers onto my card base. Then I painted a chipboard heart with some white acrylic paint...let dry...then distress the edges a bit with some brown ink...then add some ultra fine white glitter. I then adhered some twisted seam binding ribbon behind the heart and adhered the heart to the paper. Then I trimmed out the center f the heart all the way through the 4 layers. {No easy feat!}I then adhered some Webster's Pages paper to the inside of the chipboard heart, inked it up and added some glitter, then adhered it to the inside of the card. I finished it off with some Hero Arts heart pearls, a Melissa Frances rub-on and a bow on the front.
Here is the 2S4Y Sketch:I hope you have a wonderful and fun weekend!!

Another envelope card and another MOJO card! I love this week's sketch at the Mojo Monday blog! It is so fun and versatile. I changed it up bit for this card. I used some October Afternoon papers from the Fly A Kite and Thrift Shop lines as well as the Maya Road Kraft envelope, Martha Stewart punched butterflies, fabric brads, Melissa Frances rub-ons, trim, string pearls, Hero Arts heart pearls and some cotton ribbon. ♥Tip♥ Since the front of the card is so heavy and I wanted to use Kraft colored cardstock as my base, I used a piece of lightweight cardboard as my base! It makes for a much steadier card base and it still looks like Kraft cs.Here is the Mojo sketch:This card is also for the Ways to Use it challenge over at SCS today. To use a bug on your card.

Have a wonderful day!
