Today's sneak peeks are all about Halloween and Fall, one of my favorite times of year. My project used the new stamp set Toil & Trouble, the Spooky Impression Plate, and Spooky Project Pantry.
Toil & Trouble is a super cute Halloween décor set. It works great for decorating the Apothecary Shelf, I used on my card!  Toil and Trouble is part of the Whimsical Wishes collection by Nancy McKinney and is a  full sized set on a 5.75" x 8.5" full color sturdy storage panel. It includes  includes 25 images/sentiments.


My Halloween Treat Set is made with papers and ribbons from the Spooky Project Panty Kit.


Taylor is doing something a little different this month with the Project Pantry. As you know, the idea behind the Project Pantry is that when you want to bake up a yummy dessert you head to your pantry for the ingredients. When you want to create a sweet papercrafting project, you can head to our Project Pantry for all the coordinating elements. We've found that some of the best cake and cookie recipes are the ones based around a basic batter or dough recipe with lots of options to spice it up according to your tastes. This month we are offering our Basic Recipe Kit along with optional Spice It Up Ingredients that you can pick and choose from to build the kit just the way you want it.

The Spooky Project Pantry Basic Recipe Kit is $11.95 and includes:

Echo Park Apothecary Emporium 6x6 pad
10 sheets of 8.5" x 11" cardstock in coordinating colors
6 yards of ribbon (2 yards each of 3 different styles)

Optional Spice it Up Ingredients (choose any or all) are:

Black Sparkly Fluff
Black/White Enamel Accents
Orange Rhinestones
Black Pearls
Halloween Button Assortment
Spooky Cardstock Pack
Spooky Ribbon Bundle


When you go to the Spooky Project Pantry in the store you will see the optional items linked under the Basic Recipe kit, so you can pick and choose what you'd like to add to your cart.  We know you'll have fun customizing your kit!


First stamped and colored the Apothecary Shelf with Copics. On top of the shelf I stamped two of the bottle in the stamp set and the pumpkin and colored them. I used the Large Scallop Die for my top border, used distress ink on the edges of my stamped image, and added some stitiching.



To create the spider web scarf for the top of my shelf, I stamped the scarf in black ink, colored with Copics, and added Orange Rhinestones.



For my treat box I started with a die cut treat box from the Taylored Expressions Store. The little box is cut and scored for you and goes together so quick!! Gift giving made easy! 


I used the Spook Impression Plate on orange cardstock from the Spooky Project Pantry Kit. I used my Cuttlebug and Taylor's Embossing Pad Kit. I cut the embossed cardstock to fit my block and added a scalloped with to coordinate with my card. Then I just made a little tag and attached it with ribbon from the kit.


I will be back tomorrow with another project! Be sure to stop all the designers today for more "Spooky" Projects:
