Saturday Halloween Favor

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is "Halloween Favors." I like making little favors filled with sweet treats, but since my hubby and I started the low carb lifestyle, we never have candy in the house. What to do, what to do?

Fortunately, nuts are an allowed treat for us, and even if they aren't sweet I had something to fill this cute little acetate box! I started with a 3-1/8" x 8-1/2" piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and scored it at 1", 1-3/4", 4-7/8", and 5-1/2". After scoring it, I used the bat die from Halloween Magic Dies to cut a window in the front panel, stamped the greeting, and then embossed just the front with the Wrapped In Texture embossing folder. It was then slipped into the small acetate card box.

The bat embellishment was cut from Black Glitter Paper using the same die and adhered with Glue Dots over the bow tied with the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Some Pumpkin Pie rhinestones made the bat's shiny, spooky eyes!

That's my share for today. Now click the Next button to jump to Libby Fens at Libby Stamps, or the Back button to see what Mary Brown at Stamper Camper's Corner made!

Hello!

My mom is visiting for a couple weeks, so if my posts become intermittent, that's why. We decided that since neither of us have the virus and we never go anywhere, it would be safe for her to come and visit. We missed our regular visit in May, and she's 85 years old and I didn't want to wait any longer! The timing is perfect, too, because we are almost at the peak of Fall colors now. 💛

I tried something a little different with this card - I colored the background with Light Soft Sea Foam so the flower would appear white. I did cheat a little on the flower's shading, though. The Gray Granite and Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends were too dark, even the light Blends, so I pulled out my Copics for the shadows in the petals (W00 and W1).

To get the leaf to hang off the edge of the Stitched So Sweetly die cut, I snipped partway up on either side of the leaf then slid the die up snug, having the leaf on the outside of the cutting surface. The gold heat-embossed grid is from Comfort & Hope and the Mossy Meadow greeting is from Life Is Beautiful.
