Halloween tree decorations

I set up a lighted white 2 foot tree on one of my stamping desks and am having so much fun working on some handmade and stamped decorations. I found some old ball ornaments and coated about a half dozen of them in glue and then orange glitter. Some will get jack-o-lantern faces. The witches hat is lightweight cardboard and very easy to make- just a small cone and a circle base, glittered in green. The Frankenstein treat box is from the milk carton die (SU). The pumpkin was made with one inch strips fastened at the top and bottom with brads and a Stampin' Up felt flower (a retired embellishment).

I'll take a picture of the full tree to share when it is all done.

By the light of the silvery moon

I wanted to try a different color combination for this Halloween set and went with Sahara Sand. Spooky Skyline jumbo wheel in Sahara with Petite Purse die. Toxic Treats stamp embossed with pewter powder, shaded in Baja and Pacific Point inks.

Ornament Greetings

All Stampin' Up supplies: Ornament Keepsakes stamp set with coordinating framelits dies stamped in Real Red, retired paper that has flocked snowflake (do not know name), Real Red textured cardstock, Greetings of the Season stamp set. The ornament was made by gluing around edges and adding silver glitter, added a faceted button and half pearl, filled in entire area with Crystal Effects and sprinkled just a touch of Dazzling Diamonds over all. It looks SO much prettier in real life.

Purse

I couldn't resist the SU fabric that was on sale for 99 cents, it's a great way to try it out if you haven't used it before. I used the Deck the Halls here with the new 1 1/4" scallop punch and a filigree brad with some Cherry Coredinations cardstock and the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder. Love this purse die, it goes together so nicely! Be of Good cheer designer paper for decorative strip.
