All About Fall Blog Hop

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to the All About Fall Blog Hop!

I'm so glad you could join us today!

If you arrived here from Maria's blog, then you are in the right spot!

If you just happened to stumble across the hop on my blog today and would like to start at the beginning, just hop on over and see Joy @ Joy's Life.

I decided to make a cute little acorn box and a coordinating card.

For my acorn, I used my silhouette. After it was cut out and assembled, I decorated it by tying a  

tulle bow. Inside the acorn, I put some peanuts in a little ziploc bag.

For my card, I used my cricut. I cut my squirrel out of the Create A Critter cartridge. She was cut out at 2.75". I layered her onto a frame that I cut out using Elegant Edges. My frame was cut out at 3.5". The frame is popped up with some foam adhesive so that it lays over the tulle perfectly. 

For my sentiment, I used the It's All Fall Puns stamp set:

There are so many fabulous greetings on the It's All Fall Puns stamp set!

Halloween Hand Sanitizer Holder

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 :) 

This cute little box is holding.....

one of those little hand sanitizers. 

I love these little hand sanitizers and always stock up on them whenever I got to Bath and Body Works.

I used a tutorial for my box, which you can find HERE

I hid some little magnets in between my patterned papers so that my box stays closed until the receipient wants it opened.

I used some of that awesome

 Halloween Grunge Rumple Ribbon 

on my project.

Here is what I created for this linky party....

As soon as I saw this cute little treat box in the silhouette store, I knew I had to make one!

It is sized perfectly to hold some sweet treats. 

Instead of using the ghost with the face cut outs though, I simply stamped that spooky, scary face using some peachy keen stamps. 

Even though he appears to be scaring someone, I think he is adorable! lol!
