Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!  There is lots to do around here before all the trick or treaters start arriving.  I just wanted to post a few more Halloween cards.

I love how Courtney used the Home Sweet Home set to create a Halloween house!  Too cute.  I can see this for all the holidays.

Jennifer created this Halloween card but honestly it is perfect for any time of the year.  Just remove the Halloween postmark and add a date with the Vintage Postmark set.  I really love how Jennifer added the Filigree upside down to make the birdcage a bit more decorative.

Joy created a wonderful night time background for the witch on this card.  I like the untraditional night sky colors.

This card from Julie has the cutest banner!  I love the "BOO" and pumpkins she chose to use.

Ronda created two fun tags.  I really like the tag with the witch and the background she created using the Halloween Border Tape stamps.

Halloween Decor

How about a couple of Halloween decor projects?  Ronda enjoys creating little canvases and did one for Halloween.  She also did some quickie stamping on glass votives.  The frosted glass shows off the stamped images better than clear glass.  Look how cute they are all lit up.  You can do these for any upcoming holiday!

Witch's Flight

One week till the big day!  We decorated the front of the house over the weekend.  If you are new to my blog you can see photos from the past two years here and here. 

Here is a wonderful card from Jenn.  I love all the details and texture of her card.  The green & black is a nice change from the standard Halloween colors.  I like the mix of the polka dot ribbon too.

Halloween Banner

The Caution Labels are not just for cards, layouts, jars and bottles.  They make great banners.  Courtney stamped a bunch of them, added a little color and then adhered them onto some string.  These will look great hanging inside or maybe at the front door for the trick or treaters to see.

Look out Casper

I think this card from Jennifer is just adorable!  You can't really tell from the photo but the little ghosts are all glittery.  The text background looks great on the card.  Jennifer added the fence from the Home Sweet Home set which is so cute.  The tree is actually the branch from the Hang In There stamp set.

Candy Jar & Bag

Joy also created a bag for trick or treating and a candy jar by adding a few paper embellishments that she made.

Trick or Sweet Treats

Jenn Biederman created one of her famous candy boxes for Halloween.  I love when she whips up one of these boxes.  Jenn creates a band to wrap or slip over a clear box that coordinates with the candies she fills the box with.  How clever is the "Sweet Treats" logo along with the "Trick or" treat text on the paper...Trick or Sweet Treats!

Halloween Stamped Candy Bags

Did everyone love when they scored a little goodie bag of treats while trick or treating as a kid?  The little paper bags were filled with a handful of assorted candy.  I still remember the excitement when we would open them up and see what was inside.  Here is a quick home stamped version of these paper bags compliments of Jennifer Roach and Alice Wertz.

Halloween Party Anyone?

I absolutely fell in love with these projects that Sharon Ong created for a Halloween party.  I love how she incorporated a few of the same stamps into each piece.  It is seriously some fun stuff!

Take a look at this door hanger!  How great is he with the bow tie and the pointing fingers.

Next are some matching place cards for the table.  Sharon repeated the open mouth guy, scroll (stamped on text paper and cut out) and the Keep Out label.  Love how she added "This is Dylan's Seat" across the open mouth.

The final piece are goodie bags for the guests.  Once again, notice how Sharon personalized the bag.

Treats with a Tag

If you are looking for a quick and easy packaging idea for trick or treaters then take a look what Donna has put together.  The Caution Labels stamp set can be used with any packaging to add a little Halloween spookiness.
