Thanks for all the wonderful comments you have left me. I sincerely appreciate them and am glad you like my projects.

I am featuring the Pennant Parade Stamp Set as well as the Pennants Builder Punch from Stampin' Up! all week. Today I have a Halloween card and a 3-D fun item.

I used the Mini Milk Carton Die and my wonderful BIG SHOT from Stampin' Up! (both are in the big IBC) LOVE MY BIG SHOT. You absolutely MUST get one - you can do so much with it - like cut 80 different materials with it. So the cute little SPOOKY carton comes cut and scored when it is run it through the Big Shot.

I used Halloween Fright DSP as a border on both the mini carton and my card. Also used the PENNANT BUILDER PUNCH and stamped from the Wicked Cool Stamp Set the words HAVE A WICKED HALLOWEEN. Cute, huh? I added some strips of the DSP to look like ties on the pennant, as well the flags I put into the mouth of the carton "full of candy". Pixie Sticks hold the the Pennants punched out, as well as crimped card stock foofoo (kind of like Cheer Leader Pompoms) at the top for decoration and it will be a winning treat for someone sweet.

For the card I stamped the spider web and the word SPOOKY from the same Wicked Cool stamp set, layered it with basic black card stock and lucky limeade card stock for the card base. I then used CRYSTAL EFFECTS on the word and it makes it look like it has a plastic bubble on it or a puffy shiney effect. When the Crystal Effects (IBC) dries it is shiney and dimensional. I punched out the spider from the paper and used some old olive retired ribbon on the side.

Here is a closeup of the mini milk carton with the yummy candy in it. Isn't it spooky and fun all at the same time? I used a mini clip to keep the top closed and put a 1/2" circle punched spider on that as well. FUN FUN FUN

Here you can see my SPOOKY card up close. I also put a drop of the Crystal Effects on the body of the punched out spider to give it dimension. CREEPY and FUN. ha ha
