I hope you have a fun Halloween planned with your family!  I expect to have some trick-or-treaters at my door tonight and I always enjoy giving out the candy!  The little neighborhood carnival is just down the street, so we always do get a lot of kids at our house as they come and go from the carnival.

Here are a couple of treat bags I made for my "big" kids so easily out of the Mini Lunch Sacks #121031 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  Just a few scraps of Wicked Fun Designer Series Paper #117400, some card stock and maybe a little stamping from Wicked Cool.  Use your punches!  Really fun!  I think I might make a couple more bags today for some special trick-or-treaters!

Did you know you can make ghosts out of the Owl Punch #118074?

Just punch out the owl in white, cut off his feet, and turn him upside down! Put some eyes on him and you've got a ghost!  Love it!

I finally caught up with myself and found out I DID order the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #120889!  Just run this through your Big Shot and you have a great spider web!  To make it show up, I just rubbed my Craft White Ink Pad lightly over the spider web.  On another one I sprinkled on some Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder #101930 and set it with my Heat Tool #100005!  Nice and sparkly!

Have a Happy Halloween!!!

Candy is a huge part of Halloween, so I thought it was time to play with some! These are just the "snack size" Hershey bars, but of course if you had the regular size or even the giant size bars you could do the same thing.  I just took small pieces of card stock and Wicked Fun Specialty Paper #117400 and wrapped it around the candy bars.  Then I decorated with my Bitty Bat Punch #119279 and some stamps from Wicked Cool #120600.  Doing these was so much fun!  I may even make some more!  One of my favorites is the bottom candy bar where I punched out the bat and wrapped the black paper over the Pumpkin Pie card stock.  Well, I like them all!  Get out your punches, some scraps of card stock and some Halloween or fun stamps and see what you can come up with!  Wouldn't a bowl full of those be cute to hand out on Halloween?!

Now that I've found my Spooky Things Decor Elements #122296 that I ordered from the Holiday Mini Catalog, I had to make another project!  Of course I forgot to measure before going to the craft store so the frame I bought was a little larger than I needed.  But it still fit using the mat since the frame opening was larger than 12 inches across, and that would have been more difficult to fill.  Anyway, the vinyl Decor Elements….the "happy halloween 31" is placed on the front of the glass of the frame.  Directions come with the vinyl so you will know exactly how to apply or you can read my post from yesterday and watch a video from Stampin' Up! on working with Decor Elements.  I taped a piece of Wicked Fun Specialty Paper #117400 behind the mat for the background.  And then I went wild stamping on the mat!  I used stamps from Extreme Elements #115181 and Wicked Cool #120600 to decorate the mat!  Of course I wanted to use my Bitty Bat Large Punch #119279, so you see three bats flying around, eyes are dots with the white Signo Gel Pen #105021.  Don't worry that just because Halloween will be over you won't be able to use the Bat Punch because clever people have already figured out ways to use the punch for other cute things.

Sometimes it is fun to think of using your stamping supplies for some home decor instead of a card or scrapbook page!
