Candy Corn Craze

Hey y'all! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I have a new post going up over at the "She's A Sassy Lady" blog today and I thought I would share my projects with you guys here too!

Can you believe it is almost October?!! Time just keeps on flying by! I am sooo excited for October! Not only is it my birthday month (October 4) but it's also time for Halloween! I love Halloween! I spent the weekend decorating our home for the upcoming holiday and as I was decorating I started to crave some candy corn. I just love that stuff! It's sweet, colorful, and just perfect! So with visions of candy corn dancing in my head, I flew over to my scrappy desk to start creating. Here is what I came up with:

"Let's Paint The Town"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Bazzill Basics Paper

Patterned Paper: Die Cuts With A View

Ribbon: Hobby Lobby

Rhinestones: Queen & Co.

Stamp: Studio G

Ink: Stampin' Up!

Colored Pencils: Crayola

Corner Punch: EK Success

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression

Cartridge: Slumber Party

Font: Allison's Hand

Adhesive: Helmar

I started out by cutting this card base from the 'Slumber Party' cartridge. I then cut 3 bottles of nail polish from the same cartridge and added 'candy corn' colored paint to the inside of each. I stamped the candy corn underneath that and colored those in with my colored pencils. I'm not much of a artist when it comes to coloring in stamped images, but I tried my best! I used pop dots to pop up the bottles of nail polish for added dimension. I also added some rhinestones to the bottles. I finished off the card with some black ribbon.

 Here is a closer view of my bottles. I wonder what people would think if I painted my toenails in these colors? Would they think I'm crazy?! Tee Hee! Probably so! But how festive would that be?!

 I used my Microsoft Word program on my computer to type up my sentiment for the inside of the card. I printed it out onto some white cardstock and added it to the inside with coordinating patterned paper.

"Candy Corn Cupcake"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Bazzill Basics Paper

Twine: My Craft Spot

Rhinestones: Queen & Co.

Glitter Glue: Stickles (Ranger Industries)

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression

Cartridge: From My Kitchen

Software: Cricut Gypsy

Embossing Machine: Cuttlebug

Embossing Folders: Swiss Dots, D'Vine Swirl
Adhesive: Helmar

What Halloween would be complete without a candy corn colored cupcake? I used my Gypsy and the 'From My Kitchen' cartridge to make this shaped card. I added a bit of embossing for texture.

 I added Stickles to the cupcake liner and the cherry for some shine.

"Candy Corn Kisses, Halloween Wishes"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio

Patterned Paper: Die Cuts With A View

Trim: source unknown (got these at a discount store called Surplus City)

Rhinestones: Queen & Co.

Thread: Coats & Clark

Stamp: My Craft Spot

Ink: Stampin' Up!

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression

Cartridge: Smiley Cards

Software: Cricut Gypsy
Adhesive: Helmar

For this card, I cut out a large piece of candy corn using the Smiley Cards cartridge on my Gypsy. I then layered a mixture of yellow, orange, and white trim over the top of it to create a unique piece of candy corn. I also did a bit of stitching with my sewing machine. This card was really simple and came together in about 20 minutes.

 I stamped the inside of the card with a stamp from Kimberly over at 'My Craft Spot.'

 I love the texture the trims give! I wish I could take all of you scrappers with me to this store called 'Surplus City' in my town! Y'all would have a fit! There is an aisle about 50 yards long STUFFED with trim, ribbon, lace, etc. It is like a scrappy heaven! LOL

 

I hope you have enjoyed these 'candy corn' themed projects and that they will inspire you to create some of your own! Have a safe Halloween!

Happy Scrappin'!!!
