Today's Blog Hop, I am privileged to share with you two Halloween Projects.

The first project is my Howl - 0 - ween card. For this card I used Stampin' Up!'s Howl - o - ween Treat Stamp Set and had the little pumpkin cut out using the coordinating Framelits, Boo To You (The great thing about this stamp set and framelit is that when purchased together as a bundle , you save 15%). I paired this up with the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper and added the Spider Web Doily to accessorize the card. The full list of items used will be listed at the bottom of this post.

The second project I get to share with you is this Halloween Treat Holder using Tangelo Twist card stock, Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper and A Little Something Stamp Set. It holds quite a bit of snack size chocolates. I made several of these to give the girls at the office for Halloween. The cutting and scoring template will be listed below.

On the long side, score at 1/2", 2-1/2", 4-1/2", & 6-1/2".

On the short side, score at 1-1/2" & 5-1/2".

Cut on the dotted lines.

To make the opening of the treat holder, I used second smallest oval from the Oval's Framelits and ran it through the Big Shot to create the opening to hold the candy treats.

I really hope you are enjoying your hop and liked my projects.
