Craftin Desert Diva's "Halloween" Linky Party

 

Welcome to another Craftin Desert Diva's Linky Party.  The theme for this linky party is "Halloween."  For my project I created a fun Halloween card.

I used the Mini Monsters cartridge for the ghost and stamped his face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I used some Stickles for a sparkly effect.  The frame was cut from the Freshly Picked cartridge and I added a border punched from the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch.  The spider web is also punched from a Martha Stewart punch.  A coordinating bow in Trick or Treat Trendy Twine was added to the frame.  The sentiment is from the Craftin Desert Diva's Frightfully Cute stamp set.

We have some awesome sponsors for this linky party:

Trendy Twine Design Day

Hello, it's my design day over at Trendy Twine and I have a project featuring Lime Licorice Trendy Twine.  I used the twine to accent several of the monsters on my layout, the title and the tag.

I used the Mini Monsters cartridge to cut all of the adorable little monsters and the title for my layout.

Several different Peachy Keen Face stamp sets were used for the faces on each of the monsters.  The tag was stamped with a sentiment from the Craftin Desert Diva's Frightfully Cute stamp set.

A set of wiggly eyes was added to the center of the "o's" in the title of the layout.  The title was popped up on foam dots for added dimension.

A little pumpkin sticker from my stash and a button were added as embellishments.

There are lots of Halloween twine colors available in the store perfect for those Halloween projects.  I love the variety of the Halloween twine colors, a different color to coordinate with each project.  Also, don't forget to join our "Boo-tiful Treats" October challenge, all of the details are here.

Halloween Treat Bags

Hello, I didn't have the opportunity to share these treat bags on my blog from the Trendy Twine Happy Halloweenie Facebook hop over the weekend.  I used these fun cone bags from Annie's Paper Boutique and filled them with some popcorn for a healthier treat.

The bag topper was created with the Mini Monsters cartridge.  I used some Lime Licorice Trendy Twine for the witch hair.  I love the texture the twine adds.

The wooden scoop was attached by punching holes in the bag topper and tied with twine.  A tiny glue dot held the scoops in place.

If you didn't get a chance to hop with us, you can still head over to the Trendy Twine Facebook page to take a peek at all of the fun Halloween projects and join in the hop to win some amazing prizes.

Disney Magic Layout

This Disney layout was created using the Mickey and Friends cartridge for Mickey and Minne, Mickey Font for the title and the Mini Monsters cartridge for the lampost.

The Mickey and Minnie die cuts with the lamp post reminded me of Main Street at Disneyland and were perfect for the pictures I have for this layout.

I twirled some Berry Trendy Twine around the lamp post as an accent and to add some color to my layout.

The Mickey ears silhouette were also cut from the Mickey Font cartridge and added above two of the photo mats.

The kraft tags came from my stash and were stamped with the Scrappy Moms "Mini Messages" stamp set.

I used my white gel pen to add some doodling to all of the die cuts and to the tags.

Some metal stickers, bling and felt flowers were added as embellishments to my layout.

Trendy Twine Design Day

Welcome to another Trendy Twine Group Design Day.  We are featuring the Orange Licorice Trendy Twine this month.  For my project, I created this spider candy stick.  The spider was cut using the card feature from the Mini Monsters cartridge.  Since the spider is actually a card, the candy stick was easily adhered between the front and back of the card.

I outlined the spider in Black Licorice Trendy Twine.  Then added a pop of color with a couple of tiny bows using Orange Licorice.  The bows were finished off with a paper flower with bling centers.  I also used a small tulle bow behind the twine bow.

The spider was finished off with some googly eyes and a twine mouth in Black Licorice Trendy Twine.  These googly eyes have eyelashes which make them even cuter.

This month we have a Halloween challenge going on so come link up with us over at Trendy Twine.  Also, remember to check out the store for all of the fabulous twine colors!
