DING, DONG! The Witch is DEAD!!

Hello, friends;
Can we say that after looking at this cute candy box?
The Witch is GONE!!
 
The original idea for this project is this witch's cauldron that I made:

But I wanted it to look somehow different, so I added other elements, like the witch's shoes that I made using the Happy Hauntings cartridge from Cricut. The legs and the broom stick are Twizzlers Twists.
 
I'm so happy with the results that I want to share the tutorial for this project with you. So, if you are interested, feel free to click on the right language when downloading the tutorial:
 
 
 
Hope you enjoy this and if you liked it, don't forget to leave me a comment...I'd love to hear from you!
 
Happy Crafting!

Bowling Pins Candy Purses

Hello, friends;
 
Last Saturday, October 6th we celebrated my twin girls birthday party...they turn 10!!
 
They wanted a birthday party at the bowling alley with their best friends...but they were all GIRLS, no BOYS.
I was very excited when planning their party; is so easy to create things for girls, don't you think?
 
I used my ARTISTE to cut the purses for the candy and use PHOTOSHOP to create the bowling pins I used to decorate the purses.
 
This is my final creation:
This is not a 100% CTMH creation, but I wanted to share it with you. B&T used are papers I had at home as well as the cardstock used for the purses.
 
 
I have uploaded the pins and a sheet with the word STRIKE for those of you interested in creating something like this.
 
 
 
Once you download the bowling pins sheet, you have to use a black marker or pen to continue the black line where the yellow/pink stripes are.
 
For the bowling ball, I cut a 2-1/2" circle from black CS and three 1/2" circles to match each purse; adhere as in the picture and cut off the extra from the bottom. The three dots were adhere using foam tape; STRIKE was cut using an oval punch.
 
Hope you enjoy this!!
 
Have FUN creating!!

 

Batty Candy Box

Hello, stampers;
 
I want to share another candy box I made using one of the boxes option available on the Art Philosophy cartridge from CTMH.
 
 
I turn the box in a cute bat, and who won't like to get something like this full of candies?
The air was created form a strip of Flirty B&T, the wings are circles as well as the chest and the eyes...use your imagination; is very easy to make, so I hope this inspires you to create your own.
Have FUN creating!!
 
Until next time,

Christmas Tags and Matching Gift Box

Hello, stampers;
Christmas is literally “around the corner” and I want to share with you a box that holds tags perfect for the presents that you will give to your relatives and friends during the Holidays:
The box slides to either side and holds six different tags:

Each tag has an individual compartment as in this picture, and you can add twine or ribbon to the tags if you wish:
Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year, so I truly enjoy every minute spent creating beauties related to the Holidays.
Here is another picture:
The tutorial for this project is available in my online classes’ site @ INKing from the Heart…the SCHOOL!

Until next time,


PAPER Lanterns are always so IN...

Hello, friends;
CTMH is filling my life with joy…and every time I create something, I feel happy and my days are a lot better! ;0)
I want to share another project I created with the wonderful products that CTMH offers…Lanterns are so in for parties or any other celebrations and I made these using papers from the Halloween and Christmas collections.
 For the Halloween lantern, I used a piece of vellum paper to create an inside cover; when is lit, it looks so pretty! The Christmas lantern is a combination of four pieces of paper together to create a square lantern…have you seen something like this before?
I do like the result and is something different…don’t you think? :0)
These other lanterns were created using extra papers I have left from the Dotty for You Collection:
Paper lanterns can be used by themselves or with battery operated candles [never use flame candles]. You can hang them from strings or use them on tables as decorations.
Lanterns will always be “IN”.
I have a complete tutorial on these three lanterns in my online classes’ site. For more information, please click here: INKing from the Heart…the SCHOOL!
Until next time,
