SSINKspiration Candy and Treats: Cauldron Bubble

Happy Halloween!  It's hard to think about Halloween and not think of candy (come on, let's be honest!!) and the SSINKspiration team is sharing candy and treat ideas, perfect for this holiday.  I decided to make a fun little treat box using the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes filled with yummy candy pumpkins.

To decorate the box I wrapped a piece of Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper around the box and then tied a piece of Black 5/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the center.  To dress it up even more I attached a spider trinket by tying it on with some Basic Black Baker's Twine.

On the top of the box I cut a couple of circles using Black Foil Paper and Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  The greeting is from the Cauldron Bubble stamp set and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  This fun hat is actually one of the prints in the designer series paper and used the coordinating Cauldron Framelits and Big Shot to cut it out (easy, peasy no coloring required).  A dimensional was used to attach the witches at to finish off the card.

This is such a fun and easy treat, and I like that the candy can be seen as it makes it even more festive.  Are you ready to hand out lots of candy to all the little ghosts and princesses?  We can't wait!!

Fab Friday Color Challenge 148: Spooky Sweets

Good afternoon! 

There's a week to go until Halloween and I'm working on wrapping up a few last minute cards and gifts in order to get them in the mail on time.  I was so excited to see this weeks Fab Friday color challenge which is perfect for Halloween to I didn't make a huge stretch in making this card and since I had the Spooky Sweets stamp set out on my desk it came into use.

I started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added Basic Black as a mat for the Whisper White cardfront.  Next I used the spooky cloud stamp and stamped randomly in Smoky Slate ink before adding a strip of Gorgeous Grape DSP from the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper.  Along the bottom of the DSP I added a piece of the Pick a Pattern Washi Tape.







For the main image I used the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut out a circle using Pumpkin Pie cardstock before stamping the greeting in Basic Black and sponging around the edge with Basic Black ink.  Next I stamped the bats using Basic Black ink and used the Spooky Bats Punch to punch them out and then used Mini Dimensionals to attach the bats to the cardfront.

The final touch was to add some purple glitter enamel dots from the Glitter Enamel Dots. 

A quick and easy card that isn't too scary for even our little ghosts and goblins (and come on glitter really does make everything better, haha!!)

SSINKspiration Favorite Holiday Catalog Bundle: Cauldron Bubble

Good morning!  There are lots fa fabulous bundles in this years Holiday catalog (love them all) so today the SSINKspiration team is sharing projects made using their favorite bundle from the Holiday catalog.  I decided to change things up and make a fun treat container using the Cauldron Bubble bundle (and pretty much all of the products in the Toil and Trouble Product Suite.

This treat container starts with the Baker's Boxes (these are great and big enough to hold a lot of yummy treats, although I had been considering these for my Christmas cookie gifts and I bake too many cookies to use these, haha!)

I started by coloring the box using Granny Apple Green reinker mixed with rubbing alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer and set it aside to dry.

I added pieces of DSP from the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper to the sides of the box.  The cauldron on the rosette was cut directly from the DSP using the Cauldron Framelits and the Big Shot.  I used Black Foil for the spider web in the corner and then tied a Spider Trinket to the web with some Whisper White Baker's Twine.  I added a little more bling to this box by adding some Black 5/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

Who wouldn't love to receive some treats in this cute little box?  I love everything about this box and can't wait to give it away and share the fun!

SSINKspiration Halloween Fun: Cauldron Bubble

Good morning!  This morning I embarking on an awesome race adventure with 11 fellow runners where we will run 200 miles over the next two days as a relay race.  It's going to be fun and exhausting and I can't wait.  Before heading out I wanted to share one more project I made using my featured Product of the Week, the Buffalo Check stamp set.  Today the SSINKspiration team is sharing Halloween projects so I thought it would be fun to use this background stamp for a Halloween card.  Now I have to worn you, I may have gone a little overboard on the bling, there are four different blingy items for lots of fun.

I started with Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock that was spritzed with a mixture of Champagne Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol (I used the Stampin' Spritzer for easy application!)

Next I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the Buffalo Check using Lemon Lime Twist ink and then used my Gorgeous Grape Stampin' Write Marker to draw lines on the print to make flannel.

For the main image I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped using the Cauldron Bubble stamp set, the greeting is in Pumpkin Pie ink and I stamped the bubbles coming up from the cauldron using Basic Black ink and then used my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color the stars.

Isn't this cauldron colored perfectly?  This is actually from the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper and cut it out using the Cauldron Framelits and then attached it with dimensionals.  The spider web is also another piece of the framelit set and was cut out of Silver Foil Paper.  This piece was matted with Gorgeous Grape cardstock before being attached to the cardfront.

To finish off the card I added a bow tied with Basic Black  5/8" Glittered Organza Ribbon and then added a rhinestone to the center of the bow as well as on the spider web.

It's great that with the Buffalo Check stamp set just by changing up the colors you can use it for any occasion, and come on, lots of sparkle and bling make a project extra special.  Now's the time to get working on your Halloween projects so make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for more inspiration.
