Pumpkin treat holder

Hi!

How is everyone this evening?

I found a Halloween treat holder as I was browsing through the October issue of Paper and Crafts. It was a small basket with a pumpkin stamped, cut out and glued to the front. I thought that would be a cute thing to make for the kids in my daughters class as a Halloween treat.
I used the picture as an idea and came up with my own take on the pumpkin basket.

I made the basket itself bigger, the pumpkin is three oval from the nestibilities dies, and the stem of the pumpkin is just draw on a piece of paper and cut out.
I used the EK Success Flourish punch to add vines on the pumpkin and and the box handle.
I found really cute Halloween brad last year of bats, moons and pumpkins. Don't they look cute as the eyes, nose and mouth on the pumpkin?
I crimped and cut green paper into strips to stick out of the basket after I added the candy.
It's hard to see in the picture but I crinkled the bow on the handle with the heat gun.

The was not hard to make at all and will not take very long to mass produce. I hope the kids will love it as much as my daughter did.

Have a great rest of your evening and thanks for visiting!

Love the bunny in a basket

Hi!

This will be a quick post today as it has been a very busy one and it is only 2:30 pm!
This is another card made with SU's Serene Spring.
The coloring was done with Koh-i-noor pencils, OMS and blending stump.
The paper is a pack of K & C company and the card base is sage shadow.
The thank you and the bunny image were cut from the nestibilities rectangle and ribbon label die-cuts.



This was a really simple card to make.
Sorry for the short post today!
Have a great rest of your day!

Skipping winter...

Hi!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was beautiful weather here but unfortunately I was only able to enjoy Saturday. I slept through Sunday and am finally starting to feel better this evening.
You can sure tell school is back in full swing and the viruses have invaded the house!
Speaking about invasions, the Japanese beetles are out in forces. Did you know they bite? I got bit by one this weekend and man does that bite itch!

With the warmer weather late last week, I have had spring on my mind. The card I am sharing this evening is a mix of spring and autumn. Spring picture, autumn colors.

I used SU's Serene Spring with creamy carmel, sage shadow, really rust and the dp I want to say is wanted from a mini catalog...I am probably wrong and please correct me if I am.
Coloring was done with Koh-i-noor pencils, oms and a blending stump. There is crystal lacquer on the leaves, butterfly and the birds beak. I watercolored Sakura style, as Jessica would say, over the flowers and the orange parts of the butterfly.
The bottom of the card was run through the cuttlebug with the Flower Fantasy embossing folder. The sentiment is on sage shadow and For the sentiment, I used the linen background on the cs then stamped the sentiment and ran it through the cuttlebug using the tag die cut from nestibilities.

The ribbon on the card is poly twill only made out of nylon.

Thank you for stopping by and have a nice and relaxing evening.
