Halloween Craft

Here's a quick and easy Halloween craft to make. I began with a dollar store white candle. (After I bought this I found a pack of 5 various sized candles for $9.99 at Ikea!).  I added Sunset Orange and Metallic Copper Alcohol Ink using the Ranger applicator to change the color of the candle. For the metal, I ran pieces of black Ten Seconds Studio metal through the Cuttlebug using 4 different embossing folders. Then I sanded the metal and punched out a bat using a EK Success paper punch. I glued the bats to the candle using Beacon 3 in 1 glue....and that's it! The whole project took less than 10 minutes.

Maya Road Tins

I love the Maya Road tins! There are several sizes and I like them all. The one featured here is the largest one, called Lunch Break. And they'r so affordable. Retail price is $4.99! I decided to make this one a card storage tin for all the handmade cards I'm accumulating. The beauty of the tins is you can change them to fit your needs. On this one, I wanted a bright color on the tin so I just used Citrus alcohol ink, the alcohol ink applicator...and presto, instant chartreuse tin! I also added some buttons from Basic Grey, the Petaloo paper flowers (with Stickles, of course!), Grungeboard letters (I added red ink) and the paper is from Pinecone Press.
