Halloween Card Kit Challenge!!

PLEASE check these guys out!!
and

Hi folks! So sorry I didn't do a before photo of the "kit", but here is a collage of finished photos of my creation! I started with a sliding window card, and then embellished it up! I have a video of the process I took, so I hope you'll take the time to watch that! It's quite long, so newbies can also gain insight on how it was done for their own creations!  A HUGE thank you to Dawn's Stamping Thoughts on youtube for her version of the tutorial!! 
Thanks for stopping by, 
xoxo

You can see that I've done two different kinds of Halloween treat holders here :)  The first is a treat holder on a card, and the second a small box for hiding candy inside! All of the cute sentiments will be found on Maymaymadeit's stamp set:

FRIENDS!
Maymay makes truly affordable stamp sets that are so versatile and cute! The BEST part about it is that the plastic sheet that protects the stamp, and the sheet they cling to, are held together at the top so you won't lose the see through sheet that keeps your stamps clean!  AND.. they stamp SUPERBLY will all kind of inks! Try a set today, they are top notch!

Faux Metal Paper Technique

 Silhouette Cameo flower pot die cut can be found here:


 Materials Needed:
Aleene's original tacky glue
A source of flame (lighter or candle)
and
Cardstock of your choice

I created the flower pot base using "craft" colored card stock. 
Brush on a thick coat of Aleene's tacky glue.
Heat with flame until it bubbles and becomes covered in soot.
Let cool, and buff!

The box was an old puzzle box I found at work. I painted it with 
black acrylic paint first, two layers.
Next I covered the top in a thick layer of the glue,
heated it in the flame, 
cooled and buffed.

For the finishing look, I used silver Rub-n-buff
for a two-toned metal shine!
