Halloween Sour Cream Containers

That just doesn't sound right but that is what I made for my five little grand nieces, only the containers weren't that little because I wanted to put a bunch of candy into them so I made them big. I took a picture of all of them and then each one seperately so you could see them up close. They go together very quickly and the crimping is my favorite part. It makes them look so professionally done. And these can be made for any holiday, just change out the designer paper and the tags and there you go. Birthday, Christmas, Easter, etc....

I started with a 6" square of paper and here are the instructions. Instead of sticky strip I used the Tombow mono adhesive or as I like to call it the green glue. Not that the glue is green just the container. The girls loved them and I made them in all their favorite colors so they were really happy. I was able to put about 7 or 8 pieces of candy in each one. If you have any questions email me.

Halloween Zindorf Style

Several weeks ago we had a chance to go visit our daughter who lives in Nashville. We had great fun and I gave her the card found here. My son lives in Maryland going to othe university of MD there so I needed a scary card to send him.

This is my interpretation of the card by Michelle Zindorf. She gives the entire tutorial for making a similar card called "Going Batty" I just adapted it to the stamps I have.

By the way the previous post which can be found here won me a spot in the Stamping 411 Operator's pick's stampers showcase. It's always so encouraging to get selected and also to read the comments that are left on my blog. I read and reread them, they mean so much to me. I appreciate every single one of you who takes the time to comment. So thank you so much.

Halloween for my DD

If you have been following my blog for a while you know that I got to go to a Michelle Zindorf class just a year ago.I loved it and learned her technique on how to brayer cards. What I also learned was not to be afraid of heavily sponging and color. I cased this card from her website but added glitter, dazzling diamonds, to the witches shoes. So I think this might look like a snapshot right after Dorothy's house fell on the wicked witch of the east before the slippers transferred to Dorothy's feet. My daughter and I went to a screening of the movie, The Wizard of Oz, where people dress up like the characters and everyone sings the songs along with the movie. We had a great time so she will appreciate this card when I give it to her for Halloween. We are with her in Nashvill for a couple of days so I get to give it to her in person. That is a double thrill for me. Of course there will be a little treat in it for her. It was actually very easy to make. Here is the link to Michelle's Blog. She has a great step by step tutorial. I did make this a regular size card by making the white panel 3.5 x 5. Have fun and thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.
