In just 2 days…Trick or Treat!

There aren’t a lot of trick-or-treaters in my neighborhood so I can afford to have some fun:

Maui Stamper Pillow Box Thinlits Trick or TreatsIf you follow the Maui Stamper, you’ll remember I made these HERE.

Maui Stamper Pillow Box Thinlits Trick or TreatsThese are very similar, using the Pillow Box Framelits, the Howl-o-ween stamps, the Boo to You Thinlits and the Woodlands TIEF – but I used retired DSP for the back and some retired ribbon as well.

I really did use up all of my Happy Haunting DSP!

Maui Stamper Pillow Box Thinlits Trick or TreatsThe fun thing is that with the window on the front (it’s one of the options with the framelit set) you can see the reverse side of the DSP when the treats are gone.  As if the local 6-year-olds will care, but it makes me happy to know it’s there.

It’s RemARKably Trick or Treat!

Welcome to the October RemARKable Blog Tour.  If you’re the type of person who does things sequentially, you’ve likely arrived from Tracy Langley’s blog.  If you’re a Frank Sinatra, I-Did-It-My-Way kind of person, well, I’m happy you’re here!

Maui Stamper Howl-O-Ween Boo-To-You Bundle RemARKable TourTrick or treat!

Maui Stamper Howl-O-Ween Boo-To-You Bundle RemARKable Tour*See the candy inside the package?  It’s called Toe Bod Butts.  The little white bit on the end is the Toe.  The orange part in the middle is the Bod(y).  And the yellow on the top is the Butt.  And you eat it in that order.

Anyone who tells you they’re called Candy Corn has succumbed to the wonders of Marketing.  Toe-Bod-Butts.  That’s what they are.

Maui Stamper Howl-O-Ween Boo-To-You Bundle RemARKable TourI absolutely love the Happy Haunting Designer Series paper (DSP).  This plaid is one of my favorites – if I lived where Fall was actually a season, I would have wool pants in this plaid.  Love love love it…so much that I think I have used up all but a few tiny scraps of the ENTIRE PACKAGE OF DSP.  Do you realize the enormity of that?  I’m a DSP Hoarder.  This is big, my friends, big.

You can put together a bunch of these watching a football game (ask me how I know) and have special treats for the kids in your son or daughter’s class, or your co-workers, or the football players for that matter.  And you might even get to sneak in a few Toe Bod Butts for yourself.  How fabulous would that be?

Pretty Packaging

I bought some of our corrugated paper a couple of months ago and was finally inspired to make something:

Maui Stamper Corrugated Pillow Box and Poinsettia

I made a poinsettia with our new Festive Flower Builder punch – I made doubles of each set of petals to make it really full.

Some gold cord and a little Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper finished it off.  (Gotta hold back on the actual airborne Dazzling Diamonds for now – I’ve been playing with fire lately!)

Do you like it? I confess, I’m pretty pleased!
