Global Stamping Friends Extraordinary Blog Hop - Halloween

Welcome to the October 2018 Extraordinary Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop, featuring HALLOWEEN! You'll see projects from stampers from around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, but some of us just LOVE Halloween and wanted to do an extra hop this month. My project features coordinating products from the Spooky Sweets Bundle.
(see specific Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll)

I used the Spooky Sweets Stamp Set, with the coordinating Spooky Bats Punch, plus some additional coordinating product from the Toil & Trouble Suite to create a little treat coffin...which holds 4 Hershey Nuggets! Please excuse the lack of detailed pictures, my camera died on me - so apropos for a post with a coffin project, eh??

To start with, I took a strip of 3-1/2" x 1" Highland Heather Cardstock, and ran some SNAIL Adhesive down it. Then I lined up 4 Hershey Nuggets, centered down that strip on top of the adhesive. This was to hold them in place while I wrapped a 3-1/2" x 4" piece of Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper around all 4 Nuggets at the same time. I adhered that wrap to itself with more SNAIL Adhesive. This way, the little block of Nuggets can actually slide right out, while leaving the rest of the project intact.

I found that I had an old pattern for a layered coffin lid that was the *perfect* size for this project! The base layer is in Basic Gray Cardstock, and the upper layer is Highland Heather Cardstock that I ran through the Big Shot, using the Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder. The greeting and bats are from the Spooky Sweets stamp set, and the bats were punched out with the Spooky Bats Punch. I added a strip of the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, along with a strip of Gorgeous Grape 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon.

A FINAL NOTE: When I adhered the coffin lid to the wrapped Nuggets, I decided I liked the Nuggets angling down, so the flat side of the Nuggets would be flush against the back of the coffin lid. The only problem with this is the word 'nuggets' is showing on the ends of the chocolate wrappers, and it is upside-down! If this bothers you as much as it bothered me, you might like to use the Classic Label Punch to cover the word, like I did.

UPDATE: If you are the type of crafter who does better with a video demonstration, I did a Livestream of this project...you can find it on My Facebook Page, HERE.
