Your Next Stamp - Designer Showcase "Trick or Treat" (Fang-tastic Halloween)

Welcome to day three of this month's Designer Showcase at Your Next Stamp.

This week we are celebrating Halloween and all things "Trick or Treat"! The design team will be showcase their cute, spooky, fun and creative Halloween Trick or Treat projects, so check out the blog each day, starting October 17 to 20.

Here is a recap for the week so far:

• Day One - Holly and Dian
• Day Two - Deborah, Kendra and Kymona

My trick or treat inspired project, is a gabled treat box, decorated using the Fang-tastic Halloween. These treat boxes will be for my daughter's teachers, filled with a few goodies. The inside of the box is approximately 4 inches wide, by 3 inches high by 1.75 inches deep.

The original template and tutorial for this box can be found at Splitcoast stamper (here). That template uses one sheet of 8.5 x 11 cardstock. I wanted my box to be wider and shorter, so I played around with the size and came up with the measurements and scoring marks below.

Thanks for checking out my Halloween trick or treat box for this month's Designer Showcase. If you head over to the YNS blog, you will see more fabulous Halloween themed projects.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful and crafty day!

Your Next Stamp September Feature - Spooky/Scary (Fang-tastic Halloween)

Welcome to the September Your Next Stamp feature post. Each month the design team uses specific stamps, dies or themes to create projects that will hopefully inspire you.

You will want to check out the feature post each month at the YNS blog because in addition to inspiration, there is also a chance to WIN a stamp set of your choice.

This month in preparation for Halloween our theme  is.........SPOOKY/SCARY!

As an avid reader what's scary for me is when someone dog-ears a book page! My solution, is to create and gift people with cute......I mean scary bookmarks! Using the my well loved Bookmark/Tag die, I created a Halloween themed bookmark featuring the Frankenstein stamp from Fang-tastic Halloween.

To create the sentiment on the bookmark I used a couple of different sets, included So Corny (Beware) and Silly Monsters (Monster). The word book, I used my Mini letter stamps.

The fun paper is Pebbles Trick or Treat. The bookmark die is easily my most used. I love making and giving bookmarks for gifts.

Head over to the YNS blog to see all of the Design Team members sharing projects for this month's feature. Leave a comment on the blog post for the September Feature and you will have a chance to win a prize. One lucky crafter will WIN a YNS stamp set of their choice.
