Thanksgiving Basket

Hi crafty friends!

Happy Thursday and Happy Halloween!!

Today I get to show you another project that uses those awesome
 Joy's Life Stamps.

This week the Joy's Life Design Team is showing you

Fall Decor Projects.

I decided to make a little pumpkin basket to put on my kitchen bar to hold some little treats.

Here in the U.S., it will be Thanksgiving before you know it so I figured I would get a jump start on some Thanksgiving decor. I cut my little basket out from a file I found at the Silhouette Online Store. I embossed my orange layers with my Divine Swirls embossing folder and then ran an ink pad over the top of the embossing to add some depth. 

For the greeting on my basket, I used a sentiment from the 

It's All Fall Puns Set:

Look at all the fun sayings on this stamp set:

Pumpkin Box

Hi crafty friends!

Today I get to show you another project that uses that awesome
Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations.

I am back with another little Halloween project :) 

I have enjoyed making all these Halloween projects so much and am sad that tomorrow is Halloween.

Well, sad that my Halloween crafting is coming to a close for this year but not sad that the candy that is always staring at me will finally be out of my house lol!

For my Jack O Lantern box, I used a file from the Gimme Candy Boxes collection from SVGCuts.

I used some of that awesome 

Halloween Grunge Rumple Ribbon 

for the top of my pumpkin.

 I absolutely adore this ribbon!!

Don't forget about the monthly challenge going on over at the

Lovebug Lounge FB group!

Trick or Treat!

Hi crafty friends!

Happy Tuesday!

Today I would like to share with you a fun little candy box made with the

 Envelope Punch Board (item #133774)!

I found a tutorial from a fellow SU! demo here, and decided to give it a go.

Here is the one I created:

I used some Pumpkin Pie cardstock (item #105117)

 and simply inked up a pencil eraser for the black polka dots.

I made a belly band out of some black cardstock and then stamped my greeting with the 

Tags For You (item #131823) stamp set and then punched it out using the Label Bracket Punch (item #132153). I finished it off with some black tulle tied into bows on each end to hold the box closed. 

I also added a few littel details using some Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter (item # 102023)

Here is a different view:

It was so easy to make and I love how it turned out!
