Halloween Treats

Did you all have fun on Halloween? Here are some of the candy treats I made.  I used some paper I had in my stash - I really tried to use some of what I had rather than going out to get even more.  Unfortunately, I didn't use up too many sheets since these treats didn't take much paper at all.  These treats are the right size to hold 2 mini chocolate bars: 4-1/4" x 7/8" x 7/8". Oops, forgot to take a photos of the clear acetate container in the same 4-1/4" 7/8" x 7/8" size - it is from a store in Vancouver, British Columbia called Archies . I had purchased them many years ago for pennies.  I'm not sure if the store still exist or not.  The only thing I had to do was make those pinwheel fans to hold the embellishment.  It is a Sizzix die from Tim Holtz.

Here are some of the box treats - decorated with some of the separate embellishments I have purchased after the Halloween season and finally need to use.

Thank you for stopping by today to see what I handed out for Halloween............stay tuned to see what I received.

August Club La-la Land Pop-Up Book Card

This is Day 5 (the last day) of the La-la Land Crafts monthly project kit that started in the month of August 2014 - check out the club details here.  This is the first kit La-la Land offered.  My blog has posted each of the projects included in the kit as of October 27, 2014.   There is an option to purchase only the stamps and dies each month.  I chose the full kit which comes with the stamps, dies, paper, embellishments and detail instructions for each project. And, of course, there is the option to be creative outside the box, too. These stamps and dies are not available for purchase for one year so being in the club makes it ever so exclusive and special.  Continuing Mermaid Marci theme: This card is an additional  card, not part of the 3 monthly projects - I really wanted to stamp the shell for one of the cards.  There is plenty of paper and embellishments leftover to make way more cards so this is one of them. This card is a 6x6 size. 

Card base is Bazzil's Rust and Olive mat is textured card stock.  That wonderful embossed decorative paper is from the kit - yummy!!!! The die cut star fish are popped with foam squares.  The oval is also cut with Bazzil Rust textured card stock as the mat with Recollections Neutral color as the oval on top of the rust.....pop it up with foam squares.

A stamped fish popped with foam squares on the left side.

Copic colors used for the shell:  E19, E50, E53, E99 with a larger adhesive pearl in the center.

And, don't you love her hair combination of turquoise blue and green?  I hadn't done Mermaid Marci using these colors so this card was perfect to try. Copic colors used are BG11, BG13, BG45, BG53, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97.

Card inside: The paper used is from the kit. It is the matt version of the card with slightly different color front which is perfect for this card style. Inside card base is also the Rust color from Bazzil. The seaweed is Bazzil's Green. The solid card stock mats are from Recollections Neutral paper pack. There is a A2 card size in the Silhouette store but this 6x6 card style/measurements is called a Pop-Up Book Card and can be found on Beccy's Place.blogspot.com here.

Die cut the star fish and seaweed to embellish on the corner.  Spellbinder's 3-3/4" Circle Die is used to make this opening which is popped with foam squares.

 Stamped message is a part of the stamp kit received for the Month of August:

Mermaid Marci has brown and light turquoise tones in her hair with Turquoise and Green colors for her body. Adhesive pearls make a finishing touch on her hair band.

 Position the sea horses inside the opening with adhesive pearls for the eyes.

Card Inside: The decorative paper used for the top and bottom inside are part of the papers in the kit.  They fit perfectly for this card.

August Club La-la Land Mermaid Marci Frame Project

This is Day 3 and project #3 of the La-la Land Crafts monthly project kit that started in the month of August 2014 - check out the club details here.  This is the first kit La-la Land offered.  My blog has posted each of the projectsas of October 27, 2014.   There is an option to purchase only the stamps and dies each month.  I chose the full kit which comes with the stamps, dies, paper, embellishments and detail instructions for each project. And, of course, there is the option to be creative outside the box, too. These stamps and dies are not available for purchase for one year so being in the club makes it ever so exclusive and special.  Continuing with the theme for this month featuring Mermaid Marci, this is the 3D project. The frame is made from Paperboard (a La-la Land exclusive material) which is etched with seashells.  Included in the kit are the loose paper board pieces: star fish, sand dollar, shells, and sea horses.  These paper board pieces add so much dimension the to the project.  Everything seen in the photo is included in the kit. Assembly instruction are included in the kit. 

 Love this sea-like flower:

 The paper board star fish in the corner are popped with foam squares:

 On the bottom, the sand dollar and another shell popped with foam squares:

Here's Mermaid Marci popped with foam squares: She has adhesive pearls in the hair band.

In the center of the frame is the most gorgeous paper - shiny copper within the paper really makes this project very rich looking.  One of the sea horses are popped with foam squares. Some randomly positioned die cut sat fish on the paper, too.

Here;'s a closer look at Mermaid Marci: I did not use the Copic colors suggested for her hair. I chose tones of light turquoise and brown.

Thank you for stopping by today to see this project..........stay tuned for additional cards.

The card base is vanilla, a turquoise card stock mat, with some decorative paper (all included in the kit). Mermaid Marci sits on the rocks which are stamped 3 times, glued together, then popped with foam squares. I love her colors: Copic color details are part of the kit, too!!!

Surprise!!!!! Mermaid Marci is popped with a "wobble" (included in the kit)- she how she just moves?

I did add some randomly placed adhesive pearls ( on the sea horse eyes, too).  That doily - well, it is also included in the kit, too.

 I also added more star fish and seaweed to the bottom of the card for some added interest.

Card inside: the other half of the doily is here. 

 The fish are also inside with some stamped bubbles (stamp included in the kit).

 I love the seaweed at the bottom of the card inside.
