Tuesday with Tara {take 369} Sweet Treats!

Happy Tuesday!

Today’s make is a quick & easy one, but I hope it inspires you to look outside the box for fun ways to DIY some sweet treats for Halloween!

I’m sharing a mini-makeover on some fun lollipops that are triangular.  They were marked down significantly because they were originally from EASTER (wrapped in a cello bag with a green topper). I removed the bags and started to think pumpkins & candy corn… so I knew I could do something fun to make these into Halloween treats!  After looking around at my options that would be a good fit, I decided on more of the Mishcievous Cat Dies by Tim Holtz!  Several of the cats I had cut out for my treat bags (from the So Sweet Inspiration hop) were a perfect fit so I cut even more and adhered them to the lollipops.  Seriously, the hardest part of this project was cutting and releasing the dies from Glitter Cardstock.  Adhering them was easy when I applied Be Creative Tape to the back of the Cardstock before running it through my Big Shot!

I seriously love how cute these turned out!  Sometimes the easy things are the most visually appealing!  In this case, there’s just something about that shiny hard candy against a whimsical, glittery black cat 🙂

Hope you have a sweet day!  If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the So Sweet Inspiration Hop!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Have a FaBOOlous Day

Wow, it’s the last week of October already! That means it’s time to finish off any Halloween prep you might need to do, you know, like buying your favourite Halloween treats. 😉  And if you like to send Halloween cards, it’s time to get them in the mail! I’m here with possibly the least spooky card you can imagine, for today’s Random Acts of Cardness prompt, BOO.

 

 

These little ghosties from Lawn Fawn’s Booyah stamps and dies are so sweet! I stamped a few, mixing up the shapes and faces, then picked two that seemed to get along well together for the “O”s in my BOO. I added a bow tie to one, and a sparkly flower to the other. And let me tell you about my background! I was using distress oxides for a different card background, and had been brushing the excess off on the back of a Scrap ‘n Stamp postcard from an order. As I was cleaning up, I realized I had the start of a spooky sky! I used mermaid lagoon, faded jeans and wilted violet for the background. My large “B” is from Concord & 9th’s Tall Type Alphabet. The secondary banner sentiment is from another fun Lawn Fawn set, Tiny Halloween. I tried different ways of mounting my panel onto the card base – directly onto a white card base, a black mat on a white base, but decided I liked this one, directly onto a black card base, best.

 

 

If I knew anyone getting married on Halloween, wouldn’t this be a fun wedding card? 😀  Thanks for checking in today – hope your week’s off to a faBOOlous start!

 

Orange You Glad It’s Thursday?

I couldn’t resist the corny joke! My word prompt for the Scrap ‘N Stamp daily challenge is ‘orange’, so I just couldn’t resist the ‘orange you glad it’s Thursday’ joke.  Actually, I’m running behind – I was supposed to have shared this card on Tuesday the 11th. So if you’re confused, it’s okay; it’s not you, it’s me!

ORANGE MOON

I recently received the new Tim Holtz Layering Moon Mask set, and just had to use it!  We’ve had so many spectacular moons this year – blood moon, harvest moon, blue moon, super moon, that I thought I’d go with my version of the blood moon – but in orange!

Orange You Glad it's Thursday?

Plus, since Hallowe’en is coming up in a few weeks, I thought I’d make it a bit spooky, too.

CARD DETAILS

If you haven’t seen this new Moon Mask set yet, you really have to check it out! You get 3 masks and 3 stencils, in 3 different sizes.  I chose the middle size moon. First, place the mask onto your white cardstock, and then blend Fossilized Amber around the edges. Leaving the mask in place, next blend Dusty Concord, then Chipped Sapphire, and finally Black Soot distress oxide inks. Now, remove the mask, and blend Spiced Marmalade distress ink to fill in the moon. Next place the moon stencil, and use the Black Soot distress oxide to stencil in the craters of the moon.

After completing the moon, remove the stencil, and then stamp the Lavinia Stamps Seasonal Tree in Nocturne ink.  Then blend a bit more Black Soot around the bottom, so that the tree doesn’t look like it’s floating. I didn’t have a suitable spooky sentiment, so I didn’t add one. But if you do, to the left of the tree at the bottom is the perfect spot!

Now, layer your image panel onto a piece of dark yellow cardstock with foam tape, and then glue it onto an orange card base.
