Halloween Cauldron

The Baskets and Blooms(although retired) die cut from Basic Black cardstock makes a great cauldron.  The Spooky Bingo Bits images are perfect for punching out and attaching to chocolate kisses.  

Sweet Pressed Stamped Cookies

Yes, that's correct, Stampin' Up! has entered the market of creating stamps for cookies!  How cool is that!  The Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamp comes with a sturdy wood handle and three holiday stamps - the pumpkin face on the cookies here, a snowflake, and a heart.  We have some advice though, after trying a couple of different recipes first, FOLLOW THE RECIPES that are included with the product!  There are two recipes, one for sugar cookies (shown here) and one for shortbread.  We served the cookies for our Big Shot Club last week, and everyone enjoyed them!  The Sweet Pressed cookie stamp is only available for a limited time, so be sure to get one before they're gone!

Halloween Box

We've seen some of these done by various demonstrators, as well as at Convention this past summer, so we thought it would make a great Halloween treat container.  This uses the Box #2 Big Shot die and then it's wrapped with a 2 1/2" x 11" strip of cardstock.  The adorable owl is from the Holiday mini hostess set, which coordinates with the owl punch!  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. 

Halloween Treats

These Halloween treats feature the new 1" x 8" cellophane bags from the Holiday mini catalog.  We also used the new Peekaboo Frames Sizzix die for the topper!  The stamped images are from the Spooky Bingo Bits set.  The candy is Gobstoppers mini jawbreakers.

Spooky Top Note Banner

It's so hard to believe that Halloween is almost here, where did the month go already?!  Here is a home decor banner we made last year, and how great that it can be used year after year!  As you can see, it uses the Top Note dies, which are threaded together using the 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon.  The spider was made using the round tab punch (legs) and the 1" circle punch.  Sorry, the die cut letters and scalloped ovals are not Stampin' Up!, but something similar can always be substituted.  We wish you and your family a safe and Happy Halloween!
