It's time to start thinking about Halloween and all the fun craft projects you will make for your co-workers or kids in your children's class, or even those fun little bags for neighbors. TE's new set,
Toil & Trouble is the perfect set for all of those little projects! This set of 25 images and sentiments is illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line and comes on a full 5.75" x 8.5" colored storage panel, which fits in our
Mini Binder Box for perfect storage.
I've created a Halloween treat box from the
Tall Gable Box, perfect for those little individually wrapped candies, and it was a snap to put together. I started by stamping the "Trick or Treat" hanging sentiment in
Memento Tuxedo Black on a sheet of Echo Park Apothecary Emporium paper, which comes in this month's
Spooky Project Pantry Kit, and I'll talk about in just a second. I used both the Small & Large Oval Nestabilities to cut out the image and frame as well as a Small Rectangle and Small Scallop Rectangle Nestabilities to cover the front of the treat box. I stamped the image again on Choice Snow White cardstock with
Lime Pastel Fluid Chalk Ink and punched the "OR" out with a 1/2" circle punch. The bow was made with a Bow Easy and then I used the new
Spooky Fence Border die on Raven cardstock and wrapped it around the bottom of the box and on the image panel too. The box is held closed with a brad, pushed through the ribbon and box handle.
Taylor is doing something a little different this month with the Project Pantry. As you know, the idea behind the Project Pantry is that when you want to bake up a yummy dessert you head to your pantry for the ingredients. When you want to create a sweet paper crafting project, you can head to our Project Pantry for all the coordinating elements. We've found that some of the best cake and cookie recipes are the ones based around a basic batter or dough recipe with lots of options to spice it up according to your tastes. This month we are offering our
Basic Recipe Kit along with optional
Spice It Up Ingredients that you can pick and choose from to build the kit just the way you want it.
The Spooky Project Pantry Basic Recipe Kit is $11.95 and includes:
- Echo Park Apothecary Emporium 6x6 pad
- 10 sheets of 8.5" x 11" cardstock in coordinating colors
- 6 yards of ribbon (2 yards each of 3 different styles)
Optional Spice it Up Ingredients (choose any or all) are:
- Black Sparkly Fluff
- Black/White Enamel Accents
- Orange Rhinestones
- Black Pearls
- Halloween Button Assortment
- Spooky Cardstock Pack
- Spooky Ribbon Bundle
When you go to the
Spooky Project Pantry in the store you will see the optional items linked under the Basic Recipe kit, so you can pick and choose what you'd like to add to your cart. We know you'll have fun customizing your kit!
The rest of the Baker's Dozen have MUCH more for you to see today, so please go on and see:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
