Jonah had to bring a treat to a Halloween party last weekend and we were looking for a quick and easy project with the Boo! set.
We bought wrapped candies (they should not be more than 1″ in diameter). We started by stamping the halloween images with Versamark ink onto white and orange cardstock. Then we sprinkled them with black embossing powder and embossed the pages. Now we had to use the circle punch (1.1/4″) and punched out all designs (30 in all). Then we used a 1.3/8″ punch to punch 60 black circles.
The sweets were glued onto one black circle each (Helmar Professional Acid Free Glue worked well for us here). The images were stuck onto the remaining 30 black circles and then glued onto the sweets. Done! I think the sweets look just adorable – and they disappeard quickly!
While I had the circle punches out I couldn’t stop punching. I used up different shades of orange scraps and punched two different sizes of circles. They were arranged on a card and some of them were stamped with the Jack-o-lantern face, leaving the circle out. Then I added a bit of sowing to add the vines and give the impression of a pumpkin patch. A fun Halloween card…
I hope you are inspired for another Halloween project.
Happy stamping!
The decorated candies are just adorable! I might have to try this.
Those candies are an ingenious idea. And that card – FABULOUS
