Jeepers Creepers Halloween Treat Holder


Hello Peeps! 
I would like to share this cute little treat bag with you. It was so much fun to make and fairly easy to put together!
These are wonderful for teachers, neighbors, nieces, nephews, grandkids, siblings, and more! 
The box was cut from Artiste on page 80 3-D Object. The cut was 2 1/2". I scored all edges and glued pieces of random paper from the Jeepers Creepers paper on all four sides. 
I cut another piece from the Jeepers Creepers paper 1/2" x 7". This is the handle of the box. You can attach this with Liquid Glass or another strong adhesive. Cut your tag pieces out using Cricut Art Philosophy and attach to the top of your handle using string, twine or ribbon. Fill with your favorite candy! 
Have fun creating these cute little boxes!

Thanks Card using the September SOTM


Hello Friends!
I'm back! I took a little time off to enjoy my birthday week with family and friends. I have also been creating like crazy to get ready for my September New Catalogs Unveiling Party! This is one of the cards you will be making at my open house for free! 
This month brings a new Holiday Expressions catalog, new SOTM, and National Stamping month offer! Lots of exciting things going on during September! Make sure you check out these on my website below! 
I would like to share this elegant card showcasing our beautiful September SOTM called "Blessed Beyond Measure" and new thin cuts! 
I love taking the same color of ink and randomly stamp on the same color of cardstock. It looks amazing! 
The gold really adds some elegance to the card! I used the Hello/Thanks thin cuts on the gold glitter paper and cut small strips out and glued them across the top and bottom. 
The pumpkin was colored with our water color pencils without using water. Gorgeous!
The edges of the card were punched using the corner rounder.
Be sure you order your September SOTM before the end of the month!
