This final project was a small bottle purchased at Michael's that we decorated with designer series paper. The witch is from Halloween Hoot and was stamped with Staz On black ink stamped on Whisper White cardstock. We cut it out by hand and mounted it with Stampin' Dimensionals on circles of Rich Razzleberry cardstock punched out using our 2 1/2 inch circle punch. We crinkled up the circle and sponged with Basic Black ink. We also punched a circle out of black Waffle paper that was crinkled behind the witch for affect. We finished off the bottle with black lace tied in a bow and black rhinestones.

Since I didn't want all of the projects to be creepy I came up with this cute little basket. It was created using the die cut scallop circle. After cutting I ran the pieces through the swiss dot embossing folder. Being the shadee ladee I, of course, shaded the pumpkin all around. I cut grass out of a strip of Old Olive cardstock which I clipped by hand with scissors. I stamped with Black Staz On ink on Whisper White cardstock the witch, pumpkin and cat from Fang-tastic. I received this set when I was a Make n Take helper at convention this year. What an experience. I finished off the pumpkin with a stem hand cut from Crumb Cake cardstock and curled Old Olive strips of cardstock to create the vines. We filled the basket with Hershey's Kisses in Halloween flavors.

This creepy project requireda lot of patience. We used acetate to create a tube. We created a brace for the test tube using Basic Black card stock that was adhered to the scallop circle. The scallop was created using the scallop die cut and cardboard, adhered designer series paper with our amazing new adhesive sheets. I cut another scallop out of Basic Black cardstock to cover our brace. We used the crop a dile to punch holes in the acetate to hold the lid on top. The 1/4" Basic Black grosgrain was tied in a bow and the cute sign was hung from the bow using crochet thread. Tricky and tedious but the final result was fun. I took this idea and changed it up a bit from something on saw on Shelli's blog.

This project is a square box on the bottom, a six inch square, scored at two inches on all sides, cutting in on the score lines to form the box. To support the test tube I cut a strip of card stock that was scored to create a rack for the test tube along with holding the test tube in place. I used From the Crypt for the skull in front. I stamped Staz On black ink on glossy white card stock and I used Peach Parfait and Cajun Craze ink to color in the stamped image. I cut the skull out by hand out and mounted it on Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Spooky from Wicked Cool was also stamped with Staz On black ink on glossy card stock shaded the same as the skull. It was punched out and mounted on Cajun Craze. I punched bats out of black card stock, spritzed with rubbing alcohol mixed with shimmer paint. The black lace tied on the test tube was melted to make it look "creepy" using my heat gun. To finish it off I filled the test tube with gummy worms and the box included chocolate "body parts". They turned out really fun and the group seemed to really like them.

For my Halloween Stamp Camp this year we made the four small projects above. Since I'm the queen of plagerism I was really impressed with myself since I came up with these myself. Woo hoo. Check back tomorrow and I will show close ups of each one.

At our recent Stamp til you Cramp! event each demonstrator gave their customers a gift to say "thank you" for attending. This year we made clip boards to hold note paper. I used scrap cardboard and adhered Designer Series Paper using our new Sizzix Adhesive, amazing stuff, I then die cut them with the large Scallop Square. I stamped "friend" in the lower right hand corner using Early Espresso. To finish the clipboard off I covered a binder clip with DSP and tied a bow on the clipboard. I put my gifts in a large cello bag with sparkly shred and tied it off with a bow that once removed can be used on a handmade gift. I chose Melon Mambo for this gift.

At my Stamp Club in October we made frames to incorporate two new techniques; Decor Elements and making paper roses. Each club member die cut their initial using the Big Shot and then adhered it to the glass in the frame. We used the Hostess package of Designer Series Paper in our current In Colors for the background. My sample was created using Concord Crush; my new fav color. To make the beautiful paper rose we followed the tutorial posted on my sideline Julie Williams blog. To finish off the rose we sprayed the rose with a combination of rubbing alcohol with shimmer paint. I just love the final product.

For our second project we used a stencil to create this simple yet beautiful card. We used In Colors; Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait along with our new core colors; Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso.
