Trick or Treat?

Hello

Happy Halloween, hopefully things haven't been too spooky!  Just wanted to stop by and share the little treat boxes I made for the little witches and wizards who stopped by tonight.


I make the pillow boxes using black shimmer card using a template I found on the internet (pillow box template). To decorate the boxes I used three images from Dis Digi Stamps which were reduced in size, then coloured with Copic pens.  




The boxes were filled with sweets closed and the ribbon and image added.  Hopefully the little witches and wizards enjoyed them as much as I did making them.

Medium : Copic Pens
Tools : Circle Die and Scallop Circle Die (Spellbinder)
Embellishments - Ribbon (My Craft Box) Glitter

Scary or Cute?

Hello

When it comes to Halloween, I much prefer a cute rather than scary approach and this image fits the bill perfectly - it's Mummy Bear by Di's Digi Stamps.

   
I haven't a card to share today, but a door hanger and there's no designer paper in sight. The background was created using Distress Inks.  The image was coloured with Copics and fussy cut.  

  
Image : Mummy Bear (Dis Digi Stamps)
Medium : Copic Pens and Distress Inks - Seedless Preserves, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot (Tim Holtz/Ranger)
Dies : Scalloped Circle and Circle (Spellbinder); Scary Spiders (Memory Box)
Spider's Web : Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge (Cricut)

I must admit I had fun creating this door hander and using different techniques - must do it more often.
