PCS September ~ Greetings a Brewing

 

Looking for some Halloween-themed projects?  Check out the September issue of the Sampler. 

 

In the Greetings a Brewing issue, you'll find a variety of Halloween greetings covered with pumpkins, witches, skeletons and more.

 

This month we have the PCS Ghoulie Hand with Treat template.  A wickedly fresh twist on offering up some sweet treats for your goblins and ghouls.

 

 

 

Spooktacular Treat Pocket

Can you believe there's only 11 days till the end of October?  Where has the time gone?  It seems like the month JUST started.

I'm still cutting away at some halloween treat pockets.  This one is designed more for adults than the kids. Just another idea using the Pocket Acorn from the Septemeber issue, "Autumn Amidst" from the Paper Crafters Sampler.

 

A little glitter paper and rhinestones to jazz the treat pocket up.

 

Tuck in a few sweet treats, or nuts for the healthy heart types.

 

A shiny black and grey ribbon around the rim of the cap, topped by a strip of orange and black designer paper.



 

 

 

 

Thanks for taking a peek at another Creative Take on the Pocket Acorn.

Candy-leg Witch

Another curly-toed shoe treat.  This may be the last of my Halloween projets.  Moving on to Fall.  You can download the shoe template I created HERE.

Witchy-poo Fumble

Looks like this witch hit a bit of turbulence.

Halloween is just 10 days away and I've been spending time creating a few more projects, like this one.  Breif directions along with a printable template for the shoes by selecting the link:

Curley-toed Shoe.

Start by stuffing the cello bags with candy making sure to leave room attach shoes and to tuck into cauldron.  Print shoes, cut and apply glitter.

To create broom, cut a 2" peice of Daffodil cardstock, brush with mustard and Suede ink, then roll around a wooden dowel or stick.  Secure with adhesive.

Use a circle punch to create a moon and Grey cardstock to create a cloud.

To create a cauldron, cut a black sheet of cardstock similar to the shape below.  You'll want to stay under 4 1/4" in width so it fits on the card.  The green foam is Easter basket fiber.

Fold the cello in half and attach the shoes on each end.  Tuck the folded end of the cello into the cauldron and adhere with glue dots or sticky strip.

Thanks for looking.

Wacky Ghost Manor

If you're still making Halloween projects, here's something for you to try.  I whipped up a little Wacky Ghost Manor template.  Here's a few photos for you and if you're up to trying this yourself, you can download the Paper Crafters Sampler Wacky Manor for free.  It's avaiable for the next 7 days.

Making the ghost behind the door was an after thought.  My first plan was to simply have a hugh googlie eye peeking through...then it looked to plain so in came the ghots.

Since the self-adhesive eye was already placed, I cut white cardstock to resemble only half a ghost, this way it fit around the eye.

Dazzeling Diamonds glitter to make your ghost sparkle.

Cut strips of black cardstock and attach completely before applying utlra-fine black glitter.

...and a view from the topside.

Don't forget to donwload the template and give it a try.

Giant google-eye

Here's an alternative way of using the SU! treat cups for something other than 'treats'.  The google eye is sitting on top of a jumbo button which allows the eye to move more freely (and adds an additonal layer).  The hands were created with the petal flower punch.
