Relax & Unwind Mummy Treat Bag

Hi crafty friends!

Happy Thursday!

This week the Joy's Life design team is showing you Halloween Bags

and of course those awesome Joy's Life Stamps!

Here is the bag that I created:

I cut my bag out of the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge at 7" and the mummy out of the 

Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge at 3.75".

I inked around the mummy using some gray ink to give a little more dimension and popped him up with some foam adhesive on top of the black layer of my bag that was embossed with a spider web embossing folder. I added some Rumple Ribbon to the top left side of the handle.

Of course, I had to finish my bag off with that adorable sentiment from the

Halloween Puns stamp set:

Isn't that perfect for all your mummy-licious Halloween projects??

Look at all the rest of the fabulous sayings on the

Here is the BOO project I made!!

I absolutely love Halloween so

I decided to make a "BOO" banner for my mantle.

I cut my banner pieces out of the Birthday Bash Cricut cart at 5".

The letters came from the Cricut Alphabet and were cut out at 3".

I cut Frankie and his beautiful wife out of the Happy Hauntings Cricut cart at 4" each.

The bats are from the bitty bat punch from SU!

I connected my banner by threading black tulle all the way through and then securing it with some cute purple ribbon with green polka dots on it.

It was so simple to make but I love it!

Frankie has some black enamel accents on his scar and hair to give him a little bit more interest.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but Frankie's bride has some Dazzling Details glitter glue for her white streak in her hair.

For my project, I decided to make a cute little treat paint can filled with some fun sized candy bars.

I cut my witch hat out of the Happy Hauntings cricut cartridge at  2" and popped it up using foam adhesive.  

The spider web border around the middle of the can is a Martha Stewart border punch

Here is a view of the lid:

The lid layer was made with my spellbinders classic scallop circles and spider web bling from Recollections.

Side View:

I love the tag hanging down and all the ribbon and tulle on the handle

Look at this great sentiment from the Halloween Puns stamp set by Joy's Life.

I love this font!

My hubby is really glad that the blog hop is today cause he keeps looking at the candy haha!

I told him that he could have it after the hop and didn't have to wait until Halloween ;)

Happy Haunting!

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

This week the Joy's Life Design Team has been showcasing Fall Home Decor projects using those fabulous Joy's Life Stamps.

I decided to take the leap and attempt to make the haunted house from the Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge.

I love Halloween! I cut my house out at 7.25" and my trees were cut out of the same cartridge at 4.75" as well as 5". It took a little time to cut out all the pieces and then assemble but it was worth it. For my windows, I cut those out of vellum. I will be adding a flameless candle underneath the house as October nears and the flickering light will shine through the vellum to give it a spooky look. I bought some spider webbing from the dollar store and draped that over the house. Hubby thought it looked cool with one of the plastic spider rings being on the house, so that got added as well. I used my SU bitty bat punch to punch out some bats to attach to the trees.

Here is a view from the top so that you can see how dimensional this project is:

No haunted house would be complete without a little flag flying overhead right?

This cute little saying comes from the Joy's Life Halloween Puns stamp set:

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation. I really appreciate it.

Don't forget, the Joy's Life DT will be showing you Fall Home Decor projects all week, so head on over there to check them out :)

I hope you have a great crafty day!
