Trick or Treat?

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's Friday again. Woohoo. I just don't like that there's so many days between Monday and Friday and not nearly the same amount between Friday and Monday. Funny how that works, huh? Being Friday, it means one thing, time for another Sisters in Stamping challenge. This week we are sharing Halloween treats with you. There's still a week left if you haven't made any treats yet. Maybe one of ours will inspire you.

 

I made a little pumpkin using the Fry Box. Isn't it adorable? I know kids would love to receive this little treat in school or when they are out and about trick or treating on Halloween night. Don't tell anyone but you can make these pretty quickly but everyone will think you spent hours making these treats. A couple of punches, a big shot die, some scissors and adhesive and one ink pad with a sponge and one stamp. It really is that simple. The lines on the pumpkin are from the Work of Art Stamp set. It is a great set, if you don't have it, you will certainly want to put it one your wish list because Work of Art is an extremely versatile set that will quickly become a go-to set in your collection.

 

Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more Halloween treat ideas. I'm sure you will be inspired. Now, I just need to be inspired for a Halloween costume for next Friday. I'm subbing at the elementary school so I believe a costume is in order. My requirements are the following: nothing scary, no witches, no devils. Any ideas? I have a few options playing around in my head but I am still open for ideas. Please do share!

Hello Stamping Friends,

So excited to share my projects with you today. Over at Sisters in Stamping our focus this week is any 3-D project. I made these adorable little boxes and couldn't wait to share them with you. They use two new big shot dies that are in the 2014-2015 Catalog, the fry box and the hamburger box. What a cute pair. There is even a stamp set in the catalog that would work very well with the set.

 

I made mine with a patriotic flair but seriously you can do so much with these box dies that would make them great for any special event you are planning. Of course, these patriotic boxes would be great for a 4th of July party.

 

I have always loved the fry box but it was a lot of work before now to make because you would have to copy/trace onto your cardstock, cut with scissors, score, fold, and then put it together. Now all you need to do is run it through your big shot, fold and use some adhesive. Definitely a huge time saver.

 

The hamburger box is adorable. It's smaller than a regular sandwich size from a fast food restaurant but I think it's the perfect size for a party favor. Again, you can decorate this with any theme to make it suitable for your occasion. It's pretty easy to put together, too, so that makes it awesome.

 

You will be seeing more creations using these dies, you can count on that. 

 

Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping today to see more awesome 3-D projects.
