More Halloween Fun GCD Studios Style!!


Hi all!! Soooo excited to share with you my Halloween Crafting using my GCD Studios goodies! Our theme this month was Halloween with the challenge to use black, cream and only one other color. I decided to go with lime green. I just love the contrast with the black and cream.

I have to tell you a little trick about making these treats...The candy jars are vases and candlestick holders that have been glued together. I had all of these things just laying around the house not being used and now they make the most fun candy jars. You can find both vases and candlestick holders at the dollar store or thrift stores to make a very inexpensive, fun holiday decor item. Then jazz it up! This is where my fun GCD Studios products came in!
I had soooooo much fun using the GCD Studios tool on the chipboard pieces. It gives them just a little more flair. Then just paint them, gloss them, add a few doodads...mount them on the pleated circles...attach to a ribbon...and there you go...instant holiday FUN!!

Happy Crafting All! Hugs, Cheryl
