This is a definite Case from someones Blog Hop but I forgot who's. If someone lets me know who did this please share so that I can give credit. I love this idea. I demonstrated this at my Beloit Stampers 6 Group and they all got a kick on how easy it was. Of course I will have to make others but for now-Enjoy some Halloween Home Decor.

So Easy Supplies:

Haunted Forest -A la Carte Stamp- #123841 $9.95

Card Stock Vellum #101856 $6.50

Basic Gray Card Stock # 121044 $6.95

Daffodil Delight Card Stock #119683 $6.95

Circle Punch  1 3/8" # 119860 $15.95 (Punch out a circle in the Gray C.S. and add a strip of Daf. Delight to the back side of the gray. Stamp and Emboss-cool then attach the gray to the Vellum).

I embossed my stamp idea but to be quick and Easy you could just use Staz-On Black #101406 $7.95

If Embossing: Craft Ink-Any color will do and then I used Black Embossing Powder #109133 $4.75 and the of course used our Nifty Heat tool #100005 $29.95.

Other Accessories: I used a Glass votive jar and candle (fake or real-your preference).

Super sticky strip: #104294 $6.95 (I used this to stick to the vellum-not the jar so that I can change the look).

Don't forget-Saturday Oct 1st is World Card Making Day. My event is Now FULL but perhaps there is one in your area. Now-At midnight tonight you can sign up for my Holiday Stamp Camp on my Blog-25 per date. ENJOY!

These are the jars I gave to my Daughters teachers. I needed to get rid of some jars that I had leftover from 2 or 3 Christmases ago. There is a point when having on hand and then a supply becomes too much! ;0) How about you. Any extra jars or containers that you have been waiting to use. NOW is the perfect time to use them. I do not can jars, or preserve. I just like to fill the jars with candy goodies. Homemade by someone else. In this case, I used a well known Autumn mix. Yum!

May God Bless all that were touched this day 10 years ago as we look back 10 years later.

As a Footnote:

This fund will provide needed services for the victims and their families in New York City, Washington, D.C. and other cities affected by these tragic events. Thank You for your contribution to these communities in need."

Hmmm, nothing like a candy bar. A highly decorated candy bar holder, even better!

How is this for Fun. Easy to decorate a Candy Bar of your choice. The bar fits nice and snug. I decided that you should have a picture tutorial for this candy bar holder:

Measurements are:

10 1/4" X 2 3/4" Length

Then score it using our Brand New Simply Scored Tool from the Holiday Mini. I love it.

Simply Scored scoring tool #122334 $29.95-What a Great Gift-To YOU!

Score at 5" and 5 1/4". Then flip and score lengthwise on both sides 1/4".

Then cut those little tabs.

Use your Bone Folder (#102300 $6.95) to smooth back creases.

Snail it! (#104332 $6.95 and refill #104331 $4.50)

Now put it together. Behold…the Box!

Now you want to decorate your box.

I used Basic Black C.S. and Frightful Sight DSP.

Measurements for these are :

4 7/8" X 2 1/8" for the Black C.S.

2" X 4 3/4" for the DSP

Then I used the Big Shot for the die cuts. I used Whisper White and Basic Black C.S.

Then I used Cajun Craze and Lucky Limeade markers to decorate the Candy stamp. TIP ALERT: Don't forget to use your markers. They really are a great tool and you can get so much more out of your stamps. Another reason – I give a pack of markers to my downline when she or he has reached the $1,000 in sales mark within their first 6 months.

Just cut out using the Postage stamp punch.

Next put the two Circle Die Cuts together with snail and added a Ghost. A touch of Lucky Limeade under the ghost adds a bit of shadow, slime, glow, you decide.

Now piece everything together with dimensionals to add a bit of lift. A real 3-D Candy Bar.

Here are the measurements again:

10 1/4" X 2 3/4"

Fold/score/crease 5" and 5 1/4" and then turn and score 1/4" on both long sides.

The outside papers:

4 7/8" X 2 1/8"

2" X 4 3/4"

Supplies I used:

Stamp Set: Spooky Bingo Bits (#123944 (w) $37.95, #123946 (c) $27.95)

Card Stock: Cajun Craze (#119684 $6.95), Basic Black (#121045 $6.95), Whisper White (#100730 $8.50)

Designer Series paper: (#122351 $10.95)

Ink: Staz On Black (#101406 $7.95)

Markers: Lucky Limeade (#123002 $14.95 for all 5 In Color marker pack) and Cajun Craze (#119678 $3.50)

Punch: Postage Stamp Punch (#122344 $15.95)

Big Shot (#113439 $99.95), Perfect Pennants Die (#123126  $32.95)

Snail (#104332 $6.95, refill 104331 $4.50)
