Just Jawing Treat Bags

I just couldn't get enough of those braces! I was so excited that I decided to make treat bags for my son's orthdontist office. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Halloween?!

Cutting out the skeleton head was a pain! The rest, so simple! The circle is cut out using the Coluzzle.

How freakin' cute is this?! You have to click on the picture to get the full effect.

When I saw this stamp with those big teeth I just knew it needed braces. This was easily accomplished with a Versamarker and Silver embossing powder. The dazzling star eyes are made with black cardstock and Dazzling Diamonds embossing powder.

Tip: To create the braces first draw squares with the Versamarker on each of the teeth and emboss with silver ep. Then go back and draw the 'wire' and emboss again.

Easy As Pie: Pumpkin Pie!

This is such a cute and simple way to add a touch of decor to your table. Add names to the leave to use as a place card for Thanksgiving!

*Cut an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of Only Orange or Pumpkin Pie cardstock into strips 1" x 11" strips.
*Stack and punch through all layers on each end using the small hole punch on the Crop-a-dile. (If you don't have a Crop-a-dile punch them individually)
*Insert brads through all layers.
*Separate the strips to create your pumpkin.
*Add a stem by folding a small strip of Chocolate Chip cardstock. These leaves were created using a small circle punch and scraps of cardstock.
*Twirl thin strips of cardstock around a pencil to create the vines.
*Adhere vines, leaves and stems using Crystal Effects or other strong adhesive.

To create more interest, stamp the cardstock using a Versamark pad to add a subtle pattern. You can also adjust the strip size to make different sized pumpkins.

Spider Booquet!

This Spider Booquet is so easy to make. A recycled jar, a few punches, scraps, and peppermint patties is all it takes! I used Starbucks jars that have been waiting patiently in my kitchen cupboard to become some sort of artwork. The spiders are also cute off the sticks.

Materials: Scallop Circle Punch, Photo Corner Punch, 1/4" circle punch, scrap cardstock, Designer Series Paper, Peppermint Patties, Googly Eyes (optional), Bamboo Skewers, and Crystal Effects (adhesive).
