You're Spooktacular!

TOP DOG DIES

newest dies are in the house!

Here I have a "spooktacular" card using the

two dies and the "Frankie & Friends" Collection from Simple Stories:

For the base of the card I folded a sheet of white cardstock in half

and lined up the Signature Emerson Die just beyond the crease.

For the woodgrain mat I used the Signature Finley Die and trimmed

down the top portion to fit the card. I also used a smaller mat of the

Vintage A2 Mat Die. I topped the card with a couple of stickers from

the collection and it's all done!

I hope you have a beautiful Autumn weekend!

I say this every year at this time, but I'm a Halloween fanatic!

I've always, always loved Halloween, but it seems that the older I get the

more that I love it. The papercrafting industry comes up with the cutest

Halloween themes year-after-year and that definitely keeps my interest ginning :)

The "Frankie & Friends" Collection by

SIMPLE STORIES

is a mix of fun colors, whimsical patterns and adorable characters...

look at Frankie...isn't he a doll?!?!?

For my project this month I really wanted to use the collection in a fun way, so

I headed to Pinterest for some ideas. I had this cat's head treat holder pinned

And here is my take on it using patterned paper & embellishments from the

"Frankie & Friends" Collection:

There are sooo many fun ways that you can dress up the face....

cute & funny or very minimalistic with just eyes and a nose :)

And if you have an extra-special trick-or-treater (or two) on your list,

think of whipping up one of these and filling with all sorts of homemade/bought treats.

The cat that I've made uses an entire sheet of 12X12 (modified) paper, but

you can make smaller versions and leave off the hanger.

Happy weekend!
