I wanted to make a cute project for my Halloween in July challenge and decided to use an empty candle jar to create a diorama. I used my Magnolia Doohickey big house and small house dies, Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting stamp set and its coordinating dies with Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather dies. It turned out so cute.

Halloween in July Challenge and Giveaway time
Please join me this month, win some prices and have fun 🙂
Altered Halloween Lantern
Turn a rather plain lantern into a Spooky Halloween Lantern.
If you do not wish to alter your lantern permanently, you can stamp on acetate sheets. The acetate somehow clings perfectly to the glass panels. Once Halloween is over, you can reuse your lantern for another holiday by changing the decor.
I hope I somehow inspired you to create this project. Happy haunting and happy crafting!
DIY Halloween Potion Bottle
This is a cheap DIY to make some Halloween decor without breaking the bank. Recycle your old bottles and make them into potion bottles.
Treat Basket For Your Little Ghouls & Goblins
This is a cute little project that you guys can make for your kids; or give as gifts to adults. I was trying to use up the Halloween designer series paper that I acquired over the summer. I will be making a lot of these cute little baskets to give to my daughter’s friends at school, and some of her teachers.
The materials I used are:
Card Stock – cut a 6 x 6
Designer Series Paper – you need 6 pieces measuring 1 7/8 x 1 7/8
Basket handle (Wisteria Wonder card stock) – 1 piece cut at 3/4 inch X 8 inches
Decorative paper (spiderweb) basic black card stock cut at – 1 inch. by 8 inches
Decorative Scallop circle card stock punched at 2 inches
Witch stamped on 1 1/2 inch. circle

Decorative Label Punch – Stampin Up – Item No. 120907
Sticky Strip
Adhesive
You should put Hershey’s kisses or Chocolate covered raisins to make it look like “witch poop”. The sentiment reads:
THEIR BROOMS FLY SO FAST
THEY DIP AND THEY SWOOP
BUT IF THEY GET SCARED
THEY LEAVE YOU WITCH POOP!
HAPPY CRAFTING!
Halloween Card – Flying Witch
This card was inspired by a fellow demonstrator, Tami White. Although our cards are done differently, the design is the same. I thought of sharing this because the card is so easy to make – plus it is very unique in a way because this is not the typical orange and black Halloween colors. I really love this card and I hope you do as well.
Spooky Halloween Easel Card
I wanted to make a card that does not involve using a Big Shot. Since I still don’t have a Big Shot (not getting it until this Christmas), I thought of making this card by just using a punch and vellum to create a “window”. It turned out really cute! This card is so unique that the person you give it to will absolutely be thrilled! I gave it to a friend and she was so pleased that she wanted me to film a video tutorial so she can make a couple for her son’s teachers, and use it to decorate her table. I found my LED tea light from the Dollar store. You can get two pieces for a dollar and this card will be a great gift and pretty inexpensive. You can make these for any occasion just by changing the image, the color of the card stock and the sentiment.
