Trick or Treat

So glad it's Friday and the work week is over

Yesterday I got a package of goodies

from the
Kraft Outlet

Just had to use one of the Stained Grungy tags

this is what I came up with

started with a a2 shaped card and Kraft outlet brown kraft card stock

next a layer of black card stock use Tim Holtz distresser on the edges

All the pattern paper is from My Mind's Eye Halloween Scary Sparkles

If you are out shopping and see this stack just buy it

you won't be sorry

I tore a piece to make a pocket for the tag and stitched it down

added a little spider web border

two black brads one in each in the top corners

and on the left a little bat

I added two circles used spellbinders circles

The pumpkin is from Stretch you Imagination cut a 1 3/4 inches

On the tag I use a stampin up stamp masked it to only stamp Trick on the front

and added an witch from an svg file

on the other side I added the Treat

I added some orange yarns I had to

the top of the tag

 here is the base of the card

Enter this in Make It Monday

with the Kraft Outlet.

Use this week's "Witches, Ghosts or Goblins"

Love You

Made this box and filled it with cards for my sister's birthday today

(hope she's too busy to look at my blog today)

Bottom measurements cut a piece of strong card stock

I use PTI kraft 7 1/2 by 8 3/4 score all sides at 1 1/2 inch

top 6 1/8 by 7 3/8 score all sides at  3/4 inches

You will need a strong adhesive to hold the box together

I used score tape

cut one score line on each side to the center of the box to form the sides
