Melanie's Class Halloween Treats

I've been busy making my granddaughter some Halloween treats for her preschool class.



These are your basic matchbook that has been enlarged to hold a snack size M&M's. You could eliminate the ribbon on the bottom but since I'll be mailing these to another state I wanted to make sure they stayed together. There are 30 Halloween treats to be mailed.

The wrapper’s measurements are:

9 1/4” x 3” Orange card stock
scored at: 4”, 4 1/4” and 8 1/2”

After cutting the card stock and scoring I ran the matchbook (that was folded so it would fit) through the spider web cuttlebug folder. The stamp that I used is from a very old SU! set...sorry can't remember which set. I used SU! scalloped circle punch and the corresponding circle punch for the spider image. I colored the spider's eyes with an orange gel pen. Also used SU!'s white gel pen on the scalloped circle.
I love how it turned out and I hope Melanie enjoys handing these treats out to her preschool friends.

WaltzingMouse Stamps Blog Hop

Wow...can't believe I actually finished this card! This is my very first blog hop for WM...actually my one and only blog hop for any stamp company. *grin*
Claire was so kind to post a download of WM images for those of us who haven't ordered her stamps as of yet. Thank you, Claire!
I did purchase her Celtic Lunettes patterned digi paper and I love the ease of ordering and printing.


I decided to color the shamrock image with my SU! watercolor crayons...love these! The Irish hankie that the shamrocks are wrapped was colored in a light cream to kinda replicate Irish linen. Not sure how well it shows. I chalked the edge of the oval that was cut/embossed with my Cuttlebug for just a bit of dimension.
The Irish Blessings was printed on vellum and added to the card with two gold brads. The green ribbon is PTI.
I'm quite please with how this card turned out.

A Merry Christmas Wreath

For some reason this little car reminds me of It's A Wonderful Life. *grin*
This stamp is Holiday Car by AMuse.....soooo adorable!

Another quick Christmas card. Ran the top part of the white card stock through the cuttlebug snow folder. There are two scor-pal lines at the bottom for the AMuse sentiment. I colored the image with my prismapencils and blended with gamsol. For an added affect I used my clear gel glaze pen for the windshield, bumper and headlights. Looks cool in real life. I picked up this little idea from the AMuse blog. This was then backed with a piece of red cs that was scalloped punched. The red checked ribbon is by SU!.

Taking a short break...will be back in town on the 19th. But I probably won't blog till the 22nd.
