Halloween "Sunny Boy" Packages ... Merry Everything

I am going to a barbeque tonight for dinner and as it's Halloween, I decide to make some trick or treat "Sunny Boy" packages.  I used some retired Designer Series Paper that I had in my stash that had a spooky theme.  I even remembered that the Merry Everything stamp set had a Halloween tag.



I purchased some tricks and I was surprised that I could get biscuits and even Lindt chocolates to fit the theme.  In America Halloween is a big celebration and I think as the years go by Australia are starting to celebrate it more and more.

Stamp Set:  Merry Everything
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper (retired), Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper (retired)
Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango
Accessories:  Note Tag Punch

Hearth & Home Thinlits ... Window and Flower Box

I just realised that there is no stamping at all on this card that we made at my last card class. It utilises the Hearth and Home Thinlits Dies with a couple of punches.  I love the doilies for the lace curtains and the bright and cheerful flowers in the window box.

This card is a CASE from the very talented Mercedes Weber with a few changes to reflect my style.

Cardstock:  Whisper White Thick, Whisper White, Tip Top Taupe, Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, White Corrugated Paper
Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies, Tea Lace Paper Doilies, Bird Builder Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details
