We're both showing these as Halloween Treats, but imagine them for any occasion or holiday!

How Did She Do That?

  1. Stamp the witch on Copic friendly cardstock and color.
  2. I used the Tag 1 Extra Small as a pattern for cutting her out.  It is the perfect layering size and exact shape for the Tag Box.
  3. Adhere the tag to the box.
  4. The sides are supposed to fit flush with the edge, but I set them at an angle and adhered them that way.
  5. Bring the front and the back to the top and lace the orange ribbon through both holes.  Tie the ribbon together with the Black Gingham Ribbon. 
  6. Fill with the candy of your choice.

Kraft It Simply Halloween Treats Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of Got Treats?!
This is a 5 day blog hop between Inking Idaho and Sue, from This Pink Rooster, showcasing her new line of Kraft It Simply die cuts!
When the stay at home order was first mandated, I contacted Sue and had her send a variety of the cuts to a couple friends as a surprise 'I miss you' gift.  I have had so much fun playing with them, I want everyone to know about them!

We're both showing these as Halloween Treats, but imagine them for any occasion or holiday!


My first project is with the Small Tray Basket die cut.  
It measures 2-3/4" x 4" long and is about 1-1/4" deep.  The Small Basket holds a really large palm full of candy corn as shown here.






Products Used

Small Tray Basket Die Cut (I chose the Kraft cardstock, but it is available in a few different cardstocks)
If The Hat Fits Stamp Set and Dies
A Twig (from my back yard) and Natural Jute
Cardstock - Citrus Cooler, Black Licorice and Copic Friendly Cardstock (this one is my favorite)
Heat Tool (this is the one I have) 
Hot Glue Gun (this is the one I have)
Hat - W9, W7, W5 and W3  
Hat Band -  E08, YR09, YR07, YR04 and YR21  
Buckle - Y28, Y26, YR23 and Y21

How Did She Do This?

  1. Stamp the sentiment on Black Licorice cardstock in Versamark Ink and emboss with White Embossing Powder.  Trim into a square and layer on Citrus Cooler cardstock.
  2. Stamp the hat on Copic Friendly cardstock and color with Copic Markers.  Die Cut
  3. Measure 1" on the end of the straw and make 4 slits with scissors. (See photo)  Decide how tall you want your witch to stand in the Small Tray Basket and trim the straw. After the slit, my straw is about 4" tall.
  4. Adhere the hat to the sentiment and the sentiment to the straw.
  5. Making the broom is similar to making a tassel.  If you have never done it, you might want to find a You Tube video.  Wrap the jute around two fingers about 25 times. Tie it off, trim it and hot glue to the twig.  Hot glue the broom at an angle to the back of the sentiment piece.
  6. Add a feather to the hat for fun! 
  7. Hot glue all 4 slits flat to the bottom of the Small Tray.  
  8. Fill with your favorite Halloween candy.

10 precut baskets for $7.50

Pitcher-esque and Eucalyptus Card and Something Fun Coming Next Week!

I wish things photographed as pretty as they are in real life!  This stamp set, like the mason jar, is a three step stamp and is so crisp and beautiful!  

These sets are from The Greetery.  The pitcher is called Pitcher-esque, the Eucalyptus is from Simple Things, it's mounted on the Cozy Cup Coaster Die and the background is made with the new Shiplap Builder Dies.

I wiped a gray stamp pad across the cardstock before cutting the planks with the Shiplap Builder die.  It's textured, but this make it stand out a little more.
I used Altenew inks for thestamping.  The pitcher is stamped with the Sugarplums inks, Pale Mauve, Amethyst and Grape Agate
The eucalyptus is stamped with the Tranquility inks, Misty Morning, Cloudy Sky and Nimbus.

Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Afternoon Blog Hop

The background is the brand new Farmhouse Check Background stamp.

This is my next favorite besides the coffee stuff. All of these items are so, so cute today!  These cards are all made with the 
Nuts About You stamp set and dies.  The sentiments are fun, make sure you stop and read them.

You're a little nutty.  But you're in good company.
This background is made with the River Rock Background Stencil


This one used the Nuts About You stamp set and dies with the new Little Red Wagon Stand Alone Dies.  This little wagon is so cute!!!  I created a 3D wagon with a little cutting and gluing, I may do a little tutorial on it after it goes live.

And, look how cute the Itty Bitty Leaves Dies are with the wagon!
