Whatever Wednesday with My Creative Time!!

Hello and Happy Halloween! Are you ready for all those trick or treaters? We live in the country so I maybe see 2 kids but that doesn't stop me from buying the candy :)

I made a cute little Halloween candy treat holder today. This is perfect when you only get a few kids at your door, although this did not take long to put together!

I used the new Gift Card Gift Box Die set for this project. This little die set is going to get a lot of use in the next couple of months and beyond!!

I used patterned paper for both the top and the bottom of the box.  Before adhering the top together, I die cut the Pumpkin Face in the centre.  I placed a bit of black cardstock behind the face to make it stand out.

For an added touch, I used the bat dies from the Open If You Dare Stamp and Die set and the "BOO" which comes from the Ghost Lollipop Holder Die.  I did add a bit of shimmer to the black areas with my Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle pen.

Now just look at all the treats this gift box holds!!  Any trick or treater would LOVE this little box!!

I hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween!!

Until next time...stay crafty!

Whatever Wednesday with My Creative Time!!

Hello everyone and welcome back!! Today I made a set of mini encouragement cards.  These cards are 3 X 3 inches are just super sweet!  I think they'd would be perfect to put into a lunch box, backpack or maybe even briefcase!

I used the Stitched Mini Frame and Arrow Dies to start the this project. I adore this little set of dies, it is just the cutest!!  For the images, I chose both the girl and boy from the You're A Hit, Valentine Stamp and Die Set.  The die cuts two separate pieces, the frame and the inner window. I selectively stamped each image onto the inner square piece.

I used my Copic markers to colour these cuties in, then added a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to take away some of the harshness of the white background.  I attached the frame and the inside piece using Scotch Tape at the back.

The sentiments for each card come from the Be Your Best Selfie Stamp and Die Set.  Again, this is a great little stamp set with awesome sentiments and two fabulous "selfie" word dies!

I actually had the start die cuts sitting in my die cut pile and the colours just happened to match perfectly!  I attached the star to each frame and then foam mounted the picture frame to the card base.

It's so nice to make smaller sized cards. They are great for all your small die cuts and images are quick and fun to make!!

I hope you enjoyed today's "Whatever Wednesday"!  Thank you so much for stopping in, much appreciated!!

See you soon!!
