Curvy keepsake witches hat pumpkin treat box

Oh my gosh, did I have a great time making these adorable little pumpkin witches.  It features the curvy keepsake box die.  I used the pumpkin face from Sparkly Seasons.  The cute little spider on the side comes from the set called Howl-o-ween and has matching framelits.  The stripes on the "pumpkin" are from Work of Art.  The box base is done in Tangerine Tango with Cajun craze ink used for the stripes.  The witches hat features the spider web doilies, black glimmer paper and the Happy Hauntings designer series paper for the bow.  The basic hat design has been featured in many places and is not my own design.  The hat features a mini clothes pin so it can be taken off to open the treat box.  I hope that you've been inspired to make some of your own.  Thanks for stopping by.  Happy creative stamping!

Supplies used:
Curvy keepsake box die, 2 1/2" circle punch, tree punch, bow builder punch, spider web doilies, Sparkly Seasons, Work of Art and Howl-o-ween stamp sets, mini glue dots, Happy Hauntings Designer Series Paper.

Nutcracker Sparkly Seasons snow globe card

Wahoo!  The Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog is now available for everyone.  This year's catalog is spectacular.  My granddaughter is involved in ballet and every Christmas they put on the Nutcracker for a winter recital.  When I saw the Sparkly Seasons stamp set and matching framelit bundle (Seasonal Frame thinlets die), I knew that had to be one of the first bundles on my list.  I created this shaker card (my first one ever by the way) with the bundle.  It took quite a bit of finagling, but it was well worth it.  I embossed the card base with the Gently Falling 6x6 embossing folder.  The falls is cut with the framelits in the bundle as well as the inner circle for the shaker part.  The outside used  the 2 1/2" punch I think.  I stamped the globe base on whisper white, cut it out then stamped the hardwood background stamp over it with early espresso.  I masked the nutcracker as to pull him out of the stamp all by himself.  The sentiment is also from happy scenes and was gold embossed on a piece of mossy meadow card stock and punched out with the Washi label punch.  Now to make one more so each of her ballet instructors will get one.  Thanks for stopping by.  If you'd like to purchase any of the items I've used today, just click on the shopping cart to the right.  If you don't have a demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know.  I'd be happy to get you one.  Thanks for stopping by today.
