Here is my project:

 

 

I love Halloween and the Fall!  I made a Halloween ornament following instructions from Angie Kennedy Juda's You Tube video.  I just had to do this in Sorbet and Topiary.  The ornament shape is cut out multiple times with the Cricut Artiste Cartridge and then the snowflake "a HOLIDAY TREAT" shape is also cut out multiple times.  I stamped the ornaments in Topiary and the snowflakes in Sorbet.  The center piece is the webtype border from the Philosophy cartridge which I accordian folded.

 

In each petal you will see Sunset Baker's Twine from the Paradise Assortment.  Black Tulle Ribbon is placed throughout and the centerpiece is a large bling button with a green  sparkle in the middle



and a detail shot:

 

 

 

The Back:

The back looks like a flower With the saying A Holiday Treat as the centerpiece.

Here are my projects:

Here is a detail shot of the card on the left (Wicked Halloween):

 I punched out the feet from the stamped witch, using the scallop punch and then mounted it twice with different cardstock pieces.

This gal had a little too much fun!

Here is detail for Best foot forward:

Now for Art Philosophy items! 

Detail of the Cricut cut card:

The card, purple and green layers are cut with the cricut.  I cut out a shape and then cut that in half and offset it on itself.  So easy with the cartridge.  Cut out a hat and put a saying on the card.



Detail for the Art Philosophy take out box:

The box and the band are made with the cartridge.  I cut a 12 x 12 page protector up and then cut it out with the Cricut using the box selection.  Top the border with a cut label and then a cut out hat!  and you have a cute little treat box!

September SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome to the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month's set is called Thriller!  This is a fun Halloween set which includes 9 stamps and has fun holiday sayings.


If you have come here from Misty Jackson's Blog you got a taste of the talent represented in this hop! We have over sixty Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations, using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products. It is simple to hop along - just click on the link at the end of the post to move to the next one!

Here is what I made this month:


I used a clear card to make this little treat bag for Halloween.  You can stuff with candy or some other goody for the holiday. 


I kept the outer film on the clear card until I had all embossing and scoring completed to protect the card from scratching.





Here is a detail shot:

I ran a clear card through a cuttlebug with an embossing folder.  Then I sanded the embossed image to give it a frosty look.

I placed the card opening up and then scored each side and the bottom 3/4".  I then folded into a box, made a couple snips along the sides to fold the sides in and adhered the bottom with glue dots.  A hole through the each side at the top was room to string ribbon through for my bag handle.

Inside the bag is tissue paper stamped with various images from the SOTM set and this bag is ready for Halloween Treats!

Remember, the September SOTM is only available until September 30! Contact your CTMH Consultant to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!
