Cube-O-Lanterns

Welcome to day 2 of the Falling for Halloween Blog Hop hosted by Maria! We have the same great line up of bloggers with more projects for you to enjoy! And don't forget the blog candy that Maria has on her blog! 

You should have arrived here from Michele's Blog. If you didn't and want to start at the beginning of the hop, go to Maria's Blog.

My project for today is Cube-O-Lanterns! 

I used the cube box from the Wrap It Up cartridge and some jack o'lantern faces from Pumpkin Carvings and Paper Doll Dress to make the Cube-O-Lanterns. Using CCR, I cut the cube at 2 inches and then sized layers for the sides of the cube. I positioned the faces on the cube, one of the base layers {black card stock} and one of the top layers {patterned paper}. When I assembled the cubes, I added a piece of vellum over the face on the cube and then added the other layers. You could fill these with candy or other small treats, but I put a battery operated tea light in each one. . .and my Cube-O-Lanterns came to life!

Your next stop on the hop is the talented Cindy at In Love With Paper. Thanks for visiting!

Carousel for Baby

Here is a little tea light holder I made using scallop circles from CCR and the rocking horse from Paper Doll Dress Up. The top comes off and there is a battery operated tea light inside!

A nice little glow!

Christmas Tree Tea Light

I am so excited to be hosting a Winter/Christmas themed Blog Hop today! Nineteen other creative crafters have a winter or Christmas themed project {some blogs have both} created for you! So sit back, relax and start hopping!

My first project for the hop is a Christmas Tree Tea Light Holder {you know I love those little battery operated tea lights}!  Today's post will have the photos and there will be a tutorial and cut file added in a day or two. Sorry I didn't have time to get it ready with all my prep for the South Carolina Circle Meet Up.

I used CCR and the George cart to create a four-sided triangle box. Then I layered on each side, the swirly tree from the Christmas Solutions cart.  Glued the tree to a scalloped square from Mini Monograms that I had added a circle cutout in the center. Glued that to the shirt box, that also has a circle cutout, from Tags, Bags, Boxes and more. And added a star from George.

I used the shirt box not only for the base, but also for access to a battery operated tea light!

Once the tea light is turned on, close the box and you have a beautiful, glowing decoration or gift!

The other project I have today is a cute little gingerbread man, ready for winter! The gingerbread man is from Paper Doll Dress Up, his hat is from Everyday Paper Dolls and his scarf is from Winter Woodland.

But, there's not just one. . .they are 50 of him! This is only half of the group.I made these for a tag swap. I do still need to add the ribbon hanger.

Blog Candy!!!

Quick and Easy for Halloween

I used Plantin Schoolbook and Pumpkin Carvings to make the treat bag.

And it holds quit a bit of candy.

The lighted eyeball is a project from a back issue of Family Fun. It's a ping pong ball with a hole in the bottom and placed over a batter operated tea light. Add vinyl cutouts for the eyeball.

Tea Light Cake

Yes, today is my birthday! And I wanted to show you a cute little cake made with a tea light. The basic instructions are from SplitCoastStampers and I used Elegant Edges for the scallop circles and Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art for the scallop border. The roses were made from scallop circles from Elegant Edges and then rolled with a quilling tool. Now, for the Make a Wish part. . .
