Halloween Shadow Box Frame

My peeps got to make this spooktacular Halloween shadow box frame along with a vintage label pillow box favor (posting tomorrow).  We had so much fun, lots of giggles were definitely going around...thanks to everyone for being so into the spirit of things - spirit get it?!  
The spooky sweet "bottle" is the a muse studio ticket stub die just cut a little past the perforation line.  I came up with the idea while in search for what I could use to make an apothecary bottle....Eeeeeeheeehehee!

Halloween Mummy Popcorn Favor

To make my yummy mummy I used vanilla crepe paper and wrapped it around the popcorn bag several times and taped it in back.  Then I just sponged on a little Squash ink to age him...can't have a clean mummy that's for sure.  Then just punch a couple of circle for his eyes and add the eek die cut.  Oh I also added a little white to his eyes so he looked frightened of what appears to be my...watermark?

Wicked Web Halloween Wreath

I think it was Kristine V. that first posted a wreath made with the a muse studio mini blooms stamp set.  So of course I had to make a Halloween version for myself.  As you can see I purposely was more haphazard with the wreath giving it more of a dead twig Halloween feel...at least that's what I hope it conveys.  And as an added bonus this card qualifies as a Halloccasions card too - Eeeeeeheeheehe!

Crazy for Crepe Paper Cabbage Roses

Here's the card I mentioned that I had just finished when the Pillow Box Purse inspiration came to me.  And of course it was our oh-so-pretty "Everything's Rosey" paper that inspired me to make the crepe paper cabbage roses to begin with.

Paper:  Everything's Rosey Printed Paper, Grass, Sugar 
Dies: Scallop Edges

Schtuff:  Berry & Lime Crepe Paper, Pearls

  

Crazy for Crepe Paper Pillow Box Purse

This project came together because of odds and ends I had on my desk, sometimes it pays not to clean as I go (yeah, I'm OCD).  I had just finished a card with my hand twisted crepe paper flowers and I had a few left over.  I also had a couple Easter basket die cuts lying around.  So when I started playing with the new pillow box die I glanced down at my desk and all the pieces just came together like magic, I love when that happens which is actually quite rarely - lol.
I was also pleased to discover that our new pillow box is large enough to hold a gift card.  The purse coupled with either of my last two birthday card posts would make a sweet card & gift combo just by matching (or even not matching) the crepe paper and/or balloon colors.  I hope I've inspired you to make some of your own. :)
Tip: To give your handle more durability I left the Easter Basket in tact and adhered the bottom portion to the inside of the pillow box with just the handle portion sticking out.
PS - I'll post the card I mentioned with the hand twisted flowers in my next post.

Gingham Easter Basket

Have I mentioned how much I love our gingham card stock, well okay maybe I have a fewww times :o).  I made the little pink bow with our crepe paper which BTW I'm loving that too.  What's neat is you can make pretty much any size bow you want just by cutting the width you want, loosely fan folding it then twisting it in the middle and wrapping a little strip of paper around the center.  Oh and trimming the ends a little once it's put together.  I'll be posting a couple other crepe paper projects from my "Crazy for Crepe Paper" class last week keep checking back for new posts.
