Crushed by Ravens

In this Halloween ensemble the Raven of All Dark & Dreary is debuting.
The Designer Series paper Nite Owl in the (HMC) is featured.

• On the box of Orange Crush I cut a 1/2 sheet of Nite Owl DP and used my handy dandy glue stick and adhere it to the box, It was actually much simpler than I thought. I saw this idea featured in the convention pics.
  

• The second project is the new candy wrapper die in tango tangerine with a 2" strip of Wicked Cool DP wrapped around it and a sentiment from the stamp set Wicked Cool popped out with the curly label punch adhered with the NEW Black Lace from the HMC and topped off with a little dollar store spider clip.
• Then I took a sheet of 5 1/2 x 12 black CS and used the fancy favor box die cut ran it through the Big Shot and covered the Front panel with a design from the Wicked Cool DSP & then cut a large oval from the large scallop oval die cut in the Nite Owl DP
  
• I centered up the Owl on the Nite Owl Designer Paper on the Ovals die using the Largest oval made pencils marks where I get could all of the owl I could into the cut and ran it thru the Big Shot.
• then adhered it all together and I have a Spooky treat box, notice the owl is winking at you with a orange glimmer in his eye! Tango marker!
• I also used the NEW bat punch for a little bat action at the bottom of the box.
• Hope you like then I had a great time making them. My friend is having aPamepered chef party and we are going to decorate in All Hallow's Eve Decor so I am slowly getting things together for the event which is on October 29th. Need any Pampered Chef items just shoot me an email!

Wickedly Spooky Tree

This is my Halloween tree and I made these cones I had seen a while back and added a new ribbon scrunching technique which I cannot wait to share at technique class this month!

This one of the first cones in Wicked Cool DSP and stamp set

This one I love with the Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon and I got black toille and used for the insides.

On this one, I used the curling the 1/8" pieces of CS technique that was in our Stampin' Success magazine a couple of months ago. Also used my new Bat punch and Wicked cool again with the scallop oval punch and the wide oval punch.

This was a very popular ensemble. I got these test tubes and I just love this little box to put the test tubes in. Makes a neat gift for someone, out of the ordinary!
