It's a Spooktacular Time with Limelight!

Good morning and welcome to the Limelight Papercrafts, Six Chicks project parade. This month we are sharing some spooktacular treats. I had a crafting block thinking about what I wanted to show you all this month, then it came to me, and it came together quickly and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Plus this is so economical-it's using what you have. I created the card and the treat pouch out of 1 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cs! How's that for being resourceful.

I started this whole project by folding a whole sheet of cs in half at 5 1/2 inch. Then I cut the folded piece at 4 1/2 inches. I ran the larger folded piece through the Big Shot with the Scalloped Square Bigz die, making sure I moved the folded edge down a bit so it didn't get cut. I made it into a pouch by running a zig zag stitch down and around three of the sides. I added a few jumbo eyelets to the top corners (you could add a ribbon or twine through those to create a handle). Then I worked with the fun new Halloween set by Unity, Hauntingly Sweet and some October Afternoon dp in an Orange pattern. I used my favorite gingham ribbon and dyed it with a bit of Dusty Durango ink. It's all about the Candy Corn, love the sentiment, so that's what's in the little cello bag, tied off with a bit of black hemp twine. Look, my card coordinates. I used the left over cs that I cut off from the pouch. I used the same colors with a bit of Crushed Curry tossed in (couldn't resist adding a big yellow moon behind my tree!), the same OA dp, ribbon and even the zig zag stitch and scallop! One of the best things about this stamp set is that it comes with 3 sentiments. I used the happy Halloween on this one. There you have it, hope you're feeling motivated to create some fun Halloween treats this year. Now join me to see what the other six chicks have been creating!
