Yummy Halloween Treat Holders

Hey there friends! It's been almost a month since I blogged. But I'm so surprised to know that some of my friends are still following my blog updates :) Thank you so much for your precious time! It feels great when someone values your work!

Well, I hope you all had a great Halloween!! I had an awesome Halloween with my 2 year old son. We went for trick-or-treating in our community! No tricks, all we got is a bucket full of Halloween treat! Here are some quick and easy treat holders that I had made for Halloween this year! I think it's not too late to share these pictures!

I used three different Halloween pattern papers from Recollections - All Seasons paper pad. Besides that, I had also made some cute treat bags with top notes and some with ghost faces hand drawn with a permanent marker pen.

I have a lot more to share with you and hope to have them up here very soon. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend!

Handmade Boxes!

Hello!! Introducing my new hobby, making gift boxes! I'm a big fan of gift boxes since young. Especially the small and cute boxes for jewelry, treats or party favors. It's so much fun to match the pattern papers on the box with the occasion. I made these lovely little chocolate boxes for my neighbor's daughters. I love how the boxes turned out. So adorable! I think it's another creative way to share your love! :)

Double Side Step Beach Card

Hi there!! Long time no blogging in here! I was on a short vacation and it feels great to be back. I have missed some of my favorite craft challenges for the past few months. Well, it's time to reactivate my creative mojo!

Here is my recent creation for a lovely couple on their wedding anniversary. I made this beach themed anniversary card for my customer. It's a double side step card with a small fold card on it.

  

I hand drew the palm tree leaves, trunk, coconuts and the ladies hat on a kraft cardstock, colored and fuzzy cut them. I then traced the island and inked the edge with chalk brown ink. The hammock is hand drawn on a striped patterned paper DCWV -The Basic Stack paper pad . I punched out the sun using my circle punch and colored to give a little sun shade. The sentiment from Penny Black - Loads of Love was stamped on bottom right of the step card with a little heart shape in front. Added some glossy accent to the cute little heart, sun, coconut and hat.

To fill the gap between the two palm trees I decided to make a small fold card with a background. On front of the card, I used a paper from Recollections paper pad- All Seasons which has clouds and I believe it was the perfect choice for the background. On the inside card I stamped the sentiment using Hero Arts - Fanciful Swirl Alphabet clear stamps. Added faux stitching to create a border around the sentiment.

That's how I made this step card and I'm so glad my customer loved it so much since he had to wait so long to get this card. I have to thank him for having me do this card for his wedding anniversary.
