Every other month I have a demonstrator meeting at my house – my PAWS team meeting. It is a ton of fun to get together with these wonderful ladies each time. At the meeting we usually start with sharing some business topics and other Stampin’ Up! news and then we have snacks, Make&Takes and we do a swap. I came to realize that after the meeting I don’t always get a chance to take pictures of everything. So this last month I decided to take pictures at the meeting and I think that will be better – and now that I’m writing this – I think next month I’ll even try to get pictures of the M&Ts with the person that created it. Hopefully this will make it easier to share the wonderful creations that everyone brings.
So I already shared my Make&Take from the meeting – that was the Core’dinations card and technique book. And today I’ll share with you Leishman’s Halloween Make&Take.
PAWS meeting – Leishman Williams Make & Take project
She really had two projects for us. One was the little cello bag filled with candy corn. The bottom of the bag is stamped with StazOn ink. The top is tied with the new black/gray satin ribbon and we added a little punched tag to the front. Leishman used My Digital Studio 2 to create the different images from the Spooky Bingo Bits stamp brush set. In MDS2 it is easy to recolor portions of the stamp images – she had a variety of images for us to choose from. I guess I should have taken a picture of that too.
Then we made a little box using the Scallop Circle die – we trimmed them and glued them to the sides of a box – and embossed with the Spider Web folder. Then use the Simply Scored and a strip of Designer Paper – these were printed on a home printer through MDS. It’s the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP – either use the real designer paper or use the digital paper and print it at home. Create a medallion – use some hot glue on the new silicone craft sheet – it really holds the medallians well. Stamped image is from the Mixed Melody hostess stamp set and Tiny Tags for the Boo.
Two fun Halloween ideas – I hope you like them. Thank you Leishman for sharing these with us.

Happy Thursday! There’s a new challenge at Create with Connie & Mary this week and this time it’s a color challenge! Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade and Rich Razzleberry. 
And for me I thought Halloween…. Look at these cute mini Halloween Treat Bags!!
Aren’t they adorable. The idea was from a crafting magazine. There were tons of little Halloween treats and I want to try to recreate more of them but here is one.
The little bags are recycled brown paper – the paper that comes in our order boxes – yep another use for that and I have tons of it lying around. I put a piece through my Big Shot with the Petite Pocket Die!
I glued the sides together and ta-da the perfect little mini treat bag. I used my ink pads by dragging them across the bags to add color – it picks up on the creases and edges.
I used the Googly Ghouls stamp set create the little ghouls for each bag and added googly eyes to each one. The bags are held shut with a decorated wooden clothes pin. I covered each side with paper and then added a button.
Just fill the bags with a little bit of candy and you have some cute little treats. What can you create with these fun colors? Play along with us this week! And for more fun crafting ideas the Holiday edition class is going on too. Connie & Mary and the rest of the team just finished a whole week of Halloween projects!

Look at this cute stamp called Frightening Feline!
it’s a single stamp in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. A cat made up of lots of Halloween words – icky, sticky, spooky, zombies, yikes, scream, eek, darkness, and on and on. The rest of the card – Basic Gray card base, First Edition Designer Series paper (sponged with some Basic Gray), Howlstooth & Scaring bone Designer Series Paper, 1/2″ Striped Satin Black/Gray Ribbon, a Pumpkin Pie button tied with some Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine, Basic Black card stock cut with the Labels Framelits, and Very Vanilla card stock stamped first with the Frightening Feline in Basic Gray and then cut with the Labels Framelits and sponged. To finish the cat add some googlies for the eyes and a little knot of Pumpkin Pie ribbon. Now that wasn’t so scary was it?
Halloween is creeping into the stores very quickly – I saw lots of themed snacks today – cookies, gummies, pop-tarts, and more. See ya later……

One of my favorite things in the new Holiday catalog is the Googly Ghouls stamp set and the Googlies! Self-adhesive googly eyes – how awesome is that! Oh how I wish we had these years ago when we were putting eyes on school projects and scout projects. Why did it take so long for someone to do this? And you may have missed it in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog but you can buy just a sheet of the eyes without having to buy the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit – yep – the sell as a sheet of 50. And now on to a card I made – this was my swap card at my PAWS meeting last time.
I stamped the Mummy and did just a hint of water coloring with Crumb Cake ink – which you can’t really see in this photo, but you can tell in real life. Punched him out. Punched out a scallop circle from Tangerine Tango and then punched is again to get the pointy edge instead of the scallop edge. And don’t for get to add the googly eye on the mummy.
The Old Olive piece is embossed with the Chevron Embossing folder and I cut a strip of Tangerine Tango with the Big Shot and the Tasteful Trim die. I snipped off the corner of the card so the Boooo could peek out from the inside – I added googly eyes to it too. And I used the new striped black/gray ribbon on this card also.
So ‘Boo” to you! Have a nice weekend!

I designed this fun project for the UStamp with Dawn & Friends Knock Out Punches 2011 online class.
This is a Holiday Treat Making Kit. I used the Gift Givers stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Catalog for this project. It is one of my favorites! The picture shows the box and then a sample of each of the six Holiday treats that you would make. My idea for this project was to have a ready to go kit full of everything you would need to put together treats for each holiday – except the candy. So once you have your kit created you just sit back and wait for the holidays to arrive – go buy your candy – fill the bag – assemble and give out the treats.
My box is designed to hold enough for 10 of each of the 6 holidays – so there are sections for the large fold over tags, the skinny cello bags, and then the tags, ribbon and brads for each of the holidays. I think it is fun and now I can be ready to mail off treats to my kids, and my nieces and nephews.
There is a complete tutorial for this project in the UStamp with Dawn & Friends Knock Out Punches 2011 class. Click on image below if you would like to join the class. You will go to the main site for the UStamp classes. This one is all about punches and there are over 45 projects with full tutorials – new projects are being posted every day.
I hope to see you there. This is the first of my two projects and let metell you the other one is super duper cute!!!
Have a great day!
