Best Witches ~ Treat Bag!

Happy Friday Friends!  I have a super quick post for a super quick treat bag to share with you!  Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought I would make some treat bags for my coworkers.  This really took no time at all!  

I used Teresa Collins Chic & Scary Cricut Cartridge and her Haunted Hallows paper to create this fabulously spooky treat bag!

I used Stazon ink for my stamp, I think I need to reink it though!  :/

recipe:

Teresa Collins Chic and Scary Cricut Cartridge

witch cut at 7.82 x 7.62 

I used the hide contour feature to cut the background

Liz's Paper Loft Boutique ~ .05 mm orange hemp, medium glassine bag (coming soon)

I know there is a lot going on here...I kind of just went crazy with my cricut and Emma's Rolled Flower Die!

My Guest Designer Week at Everyday Cricut ~ Mini Album!

It's happy Monday here at my blog and I'm over the "Halloween Moon" today!  Why you ask?  I have been asked to be a Guest Designer all week over at Everyday Cricut!  This is beyond cool! 

 

Of course I had to come up with some fun projects this week, I hope you think they are too!  For today's project  I wanted to create a fun Halloween Mini Album!  I don't make them very often, but I think that's about to change...this was so much fun to make!

To create my album pages, I used cereal boxes.  I love the idea of up cycling!

I stitched a bit on the cover and popped up the scary cat!

If you didn't know, I tend to think that my projects aren't complete without a bit of glitter!  So I glittered the ghost! :)

After cutting the banner, I stamped it with the "boo" and more glitter on this ghost! :)

Yes, the skull is glittered! lol

The black frame was embossed with Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder

 

I used a stamp to create the "pattern" paper too.

 

Lastly I added ribbon on the ring for some added fun!

Color Challenge Time with EAD Designs!

Welcome to EAD Designs's Color Challenge!  This month we were asked to use Black, Orange and Purple!  Of course that means it's almost time for Halloween!

For this challenge I wanted to make a project that didn't require a lot of Cricut cuts.  Good thing because while trying to cut with my new Teresa Collins Chic and Scary cartridge, my Gypsy kept saying I had a security breach!  HUH?!  Who's been using my gyspsy without me?  hehehe  Well after four hours and 2 calls to my favorite place (Provo Craft, it really is!), it looks like my gypsy and Miss Collins aren't getting along!  So I'll have to call them again tomorrow to see about getting my cart replaced.  It cuts without the gypsy, and all my other carts cut fine with the gypsy!  I guess they're just not good together!  lol!

Well enough of my issssuuuuues, on to my project...

Recipe:

Teresa Collins Chic & Scary Cricut Cartridge
