Pillow box die Halloween treats

Here are some Halloween treats I made for my son's Cubscout den. There are 18 boys in his den, so I needed something quick and easy. The pillow box die and my Big Shot took the work out of these! I love, love, love my Big Shot! I used the window sheets for my boxes and filled them with yummy candy corn. I tied a piece of retired Chocolate Chip ribbon around the boxes to help keep them closed. I stamped the images from the Batty for You set and adhered them to the front of the boxes. I tried to keep the supplies to a minimum because I know the boys are just going to tear them up and throw them away. :) I really don't care for the way they turned out, but again, they are just going into the trash since it's the candy they want.

Thanks for looking!

Batty for Halloween

I'm trying to get my Halloween cards done early and not wait until the week before! Here's one I made using the Batty For You stamp set. I saw this layout in a Stamp and Scrap magazine and thought the Batty For You set would be perfect for it! I used some retired DSP called Cast A Spell for the background paper. I'm trying to use my retired paper and not hoard it. :) I ran the Perfect Plum paper through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder. I used the scallop edge punch to add a little border to the embossed piece. Then I stamped the 3 images on Whisper White, stamped them again and cut them out. Whew! That was time consuming! I accidently cut off one of the spidey's legs, poor little guy! I glued it back on though - hope you can't tell. I put all 3 cutouts on dimensionals and put them over the stamped image of each. I added the wiggle eyes and like how they look. The Happy Halloween saying is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and punched out with the Modern Label punch. I added a couple black brads to hold it on. Hope you like it. I'm still new to all this photography stuff, so please don't gasp if some of my pictures aren't up to the par of some other blogs. I'm learning and hopefully getting better each time.
