You Can Make This Boo-tiful Halloween Decoration Inexpensively to Jazz Up Your October Decoration and Celebrations. Enjoy All Month Long!

Do you need a new Halloween Home Decor Idea? Here's an easy idea for you to try!

For only $1.25 at Dollar Tree you can purchase this "Boo" hanger and jazz it up by adding your own Halloween patterned paper, stamped images, glitter paper, and embellishments just like I did. 

The result? A "Boo-tiful" Halloween door hanger for your home, apartment, assisted living, dorm room, etc. It's an inexpensive creative project that doesn't take very long to make with what you have on hand! Give it a try! It would also make a great neighbor gift too!

Here's what I used rom my crafting stash: 

My patterned paper was retired Designer Series Papers I had on hand. 

Stamps came from the Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin Kit, and the Bewitching Bundle.

Inks were Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Colored witch legs with Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends pen.

Used two retired punches - 1-1/4" square punch and Essential Tag punch.

In addition I used black glimmer paper, metallic mesh ribbon, black glitter ribbon, gray satin ribbon, assorted embellishments I had, and very retired spider web doilies (which I scotch taped pieces to the back of the BOO. 

Paper was applied to BOO with "Glitter Glue" available from Amazon.

May 21-22, 2016 Cards to Share

Here's the May collection of cards we made recently.

Decided to try a stencil technique from an idea I saw online. I used to the Big Shot to cut out the large butterfly stencil from the Bold Butterfly Framelit plus the white butterfly accent piece from the heavier White cardstock, and the smaller butterfly stencil from Butterfly Thinlits. The card base is one of the new In Colors for 2016 called Flirty Flamingo, plus the matching ink, along with Tip Top Taupe ink. The white embossed paper is some I had on hand (which I have too much of!) but it worked great using a sponge dauber to stencil the two butterflies.  I used the Wink of Stella glitter pen to go over the top of the white butterfly before I tied Linen Thread around it. Don't forget to round the corners of the card with your envelop punch board!

Super easy card using the stamp set Tin of Cards for the happy birthday greeting. That is stamped on Watermelon Wonder cardstock and punched with a 2 inch circle punch with black stazon ink. That is mounted on Back to Black Designer Series Paper, mounted on Crumb Cake. Accented with Linen thread and a silver foil star punch. Could be a masculine card for someone special.

Inspired by the many talented folks on Pinterest. Retired set from Sale-A-Bration called Botanicals for You, the just for you is heat embossed with black embossing powder on Very Vanilla cardstock, backed with Basic Black. Mint Macaron cardstock dry embossed with the Large Polka Dot in reverse so the circles are reset down, where you can add 3/4" punched circles from the just retired Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack. Calypso Coral ribbon is some I had in my stash for the bow accent.

Inspired from Pinterest - Tracy Bradley

Pacific Point and Wild Wasabit Cardstock and matching inks. 2-1/2' circle punch to make the sticky note masking while I stamped the leaves from the Sheltering Tree set all around. Black Glimmer Paper was used to make the "hello" on the Big Shot from the Hello You thinlit set. I used some non-Stampin' Up! lime green sequins as accents.

I'm pretty sure I was inspired by someone's design online, 

but I forgot to make note of their name this time. (Sorry!)

Timeless Treasures stamp set used with Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Black Stazon ink on a Basic Black cardstock base with Whisper White cardstock. Small silver doily and silver sequins. The Thank You comes from a new set called Thoughtful Banners. 

Thanks for taking a look. Tomorrow is the big day when the new 2016 Annual Catalog is released. Lots of awesome items in there to put on your wish list. You'll be able to view it online through my demonstrator website.
