HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My darling grand-daughter decided to be a black cat this year! Isn't she adorable?! LOL


I live in a very small town, so we don't have many trick or treaters. This year I decided to give out full size candy bars. But, of course, I had to "spruce" them up a little.

Recipe:
Printed card stock cut at 6" x 4.25" wrapped around a Milky Way candy bar.
Artiste Cricut Cartridge (images cut according to instruction on stamp set)
CTMH Magic Potions Holiday stamp set

Thanks for looking,

Cowgirl Bear Birthday Card/Gift Card Holder


Recipe:
A2 Card (finished size)
Cowgirl Bear cut at 3.75"
Cut base at 5.5" x 12"
Score at 4.25", 6", & 7.75"
Fold on the 6" score mark.
Fold backwards on the 4.25" & 7.75" score marks.
Your card should now look like this.
Apply a thin line of adhesive along the back of the card. I use 1/8" Super Adhesive Tape from Rubber Stamp Concepts.
Mark off a 3" section on the inside "mountain" of your card. I mark off at 1.25" and 4.25" (use pencil).
I use the SU Word Window punch to punch out a small sliver of the "mountain" to create the slit the gift card goes into.
It should now look like this.
Now decorate.
