I can't belive that September is half-way through and now Halloween is just around the corner. I was never a big Halloween fan growing up - The idea of dressing up in costumes always felt more like a challenge to me than fun, however now that we have a young child Halloween comes with a whole new view. The idea of dressing up, myself, still causes my blood pressure to go up, but Matthew seems to really enjoy Halloween and dressing up in costumes.
Well since Halloween is right around the corner I thought I would try out a new project. I recently saw a post on Kim Score's blog (http://www.paperpunchaddiction/) where she posted this really cute little punch art bat - I just had to try it out. So here is my creation:
I recently bought the candy wrapper die and have been dying to use it - No pun intended. With a young child, and many Birthday Parties, valentines day parties, and Christmas parties in my future I thought it would be a wise investment. The treat box is made from the Candy wrapper die with one end folded in and closed up. The other end was squeezed together like a milk carton and closed with some Pear Pizzazz ribbon. This fabulously cute bat is created with the new Owl punch from Stampin up as well as the 1/2" cirlce punch and the large oval punch. - See Kim's website for full details. I then used one of the sentiments from the Fangtastic set - It just seemed to fit the occassion.
Go Batty and Enjoy !!
I really love the Toile effect on cards. I just think it looks so classic and victorian. Well, I tried to do a variation of that technique using different colors. I actually really liked the way it turned out.
