Festive Chocolate Monsters


I made these last year, but they are so cute! These monsters are covering a 2 piece Kit Kat. I simply measured the candy and covered in card stock, then embellished them into yummy, chocolatey monsters!
Trick or Treat... this one is a TREAT!

Scrapbooking Pumpkins



This was another fun project I did with my upline. These pumpkins are made using the Top Note and Matchbox die with the Sizzix Big Shot. I sponged Pumpkin Pie Ink to the edges of the Top Notes, and used the Itty Bitty Backgrouds in Pumpkin Pie ink to add texture to the lower portion of the pumpkins. It's amazing what you can create with your imagination!

Trick or Treat


What a fun treat! Using the Sweet Center stamp set and Sweet Treat Cups from the Holiday Mini Catalog. The cups have an adhesive to stick to the cardstock, so by design one would have to rip apart my artwork to get to the candy. A fellow demonstrator found this awesome idea to make a slider to allow you to get to the chocolate without destroying the card.

Halloween Candy Dish

This is a Halloween Candy dish I designed and made for a silent auction to support the Badgerland Ski Team. It took me about 1 1/2 hour to make. The bottom container is filled with Candy Corn then topped off with a styrofoam ball filled with candy. I'm guessing it's about 10 lbs of candy! I added some fun Stampin' Up! images and ribbon throughout the bouquet. I'm hoping to make a few different themed dishes to share with you, so check back.
Thanks Mom for the inspiration.
