Halloween Cards

Hang tags are so versatile and jars are really popular right now for crafting so when I saw these hang tags with jars on them I couldn't resist the temptation to play with them.

These are perfect for Halloween cards.

 After printing my files I cut them out and went to work.  I put some twine around the lids and added some googley eyes to the pumpkin, the die cut pumpkin and spider are extra cuts from previous projects. A couple of crow buttons that I painted with black chalk paint and added some eyes to.

More leftover cuts from previous projects plus a couple of black jewels.



I added some star buttons on this one that I painted with black chalk paint then added some craft twinkles to.

I cut the banners from papers I had leftover from cutting out the cards.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Halloween M&M Cookie Jar

One of my best friend's daughter is at school and living in her own apartment while playing Division I field hockey which keeps her so busy.  She loves to bake but finding the time is hard with sports, her studies and a boyfriend.  I thought this would be a cute Halloween gift for her.  I love that you can get all different colors of M&M;s depending on the season.  You can make this jar for gifts all year round and just switch up the Ewe-N-Me Printables Jars Hang Tags to match the season or occasion.  

Halloween Jars Hang Tags

 

I love how cute this came out.  I used some Stickles to highlight the pumpkin on the tag and then on another tag cut out the cat and pumpkin and used some black Stickles on the cat and some Glossy Accents on the bow on his hat.  I found that it is better to put the Stickles on sparingly and then I used a QTip and wiped most of the glitter off so that you could still see the detail in the image.

I used my My Favorite Things dies again to punch out two circles for the top cover.  I love that when you buy this printable you get 8 tags on one sheet of paper.  I hope you try this recipe out and show us what you did.  You can find this and many other wonderful printables at the Ewe-N-Me Printables store.

Supplies Needed:

Wide Mouth Mason Jar

1 1/2 cups M&M's

1/4 cup white sugar

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup brown sugar

Ice Cream Scoop (to pack down layers)

Recipe to attach to tag:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Pour contents into a bowl and mix well.  Work in 3/4 cup of softened butter with your hands until the mixture is crumbly.  In a separate bowl beat 1 tsp vanilla with 1 egg.  Mix wet ingredients into dry.  Place heaping Tablespoons on cookie sheet and bake 10-14 minutes.

Hugs,

Halloween Mini Book Made With A Snack Bag Wrapper

Good morning everyone. Today's project is a bit different, I used a Halloween Snack Bag Wrapper to create a mini Halloween book. I pulled out some old Halloween pics of my son to create this.

First I printed the Printable from Ewe-N-Me Printables and cut it out, then I picked out some scraps from my stash to create the pages and trimmed them to fit inside. I cut 6 pages, making them a little smaller than the area inside the wrapper.

Then I punched the holes for the binding wire using my Cinch Book Binder. It's important to do this step before adding your pictures/embellishments so that you don't inadvertently place something in the way of where you want the holed punched.

I decorated my pages and did the binding with my Cinch.



Adhere the back page of the mini book to the inside back of the Snack Bag Wrapper.

Use a decorative paper clip to hold book closed.



This was fast and easy to make and is a perfect little book to send my son, his wife loves pictures of David when he was young.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my creation today.
