Creepy Crawly iPhones: Spooky Things Decor Elements
My daughter is not afraid of anything creepy or crawly. I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m glad. Yesterday at our Daisy Girl Scout meeting, my daughter picked up a furry caterpillar to show the girls in the troop. Reactions varied from, “isn’t that cool,” to high-pitched squeals.
So I suppose I’m trying to take a page from her book and embrace the creepy crawlies. Check out my new iPhone case, covered with Decor Elements from the Spooky Things package in the Holiday Mini Catalog:
Definitely spooky. And definitely a departure from the very *pretty* Upsy Daisy Decor Element that had been on my iPhone until my Spooky Things arrived! (check out that blog post)

Halloween headed your way? Looking for Fang-Tastic ways to dress up your candy bars? Here’s a fun and quick idea to get into the spidery spirit of the holiday.
Grab your Spider Web Embossing Folder for the Big Shot and emboss your way to fancier candy. Lurking under the paper wrapping of these bars is a normal Hershey’s bar… not very fancy. But with this wrapper, everyone will be clamoring to get one of your bars!
This is a fairly easy project:
- Cut Pumpkin Pie card stock to 5.5 x 6.5 inches and dry emboss using the Spider Web Textured Impressions Folder with your Big Shot (new in the Holiday Mini Catalog)
- Use Sticky Strip along one long edge and the two short edges of the card stock, then wrap around the chocolate bar. Use your Crimper to add crimps to ends
- Add “bling” at one end with a Glimmer Brad in Basics
- Stamp and watercolor the little witch from the Fang-Tastic stamp set (Holiday Mini Catalog), then punch the image with the NEW 2-1/2″ Circle Punch (Holiday Mini Catalog)
- Stamp the “witch way to the candy” greeting and punch with the Word Window Punch
Loving the simple version above? Ready for MORE “fang-tastic” bling? Check out this stepped-up version!
Added elements (there’s always “one more thing” with my projects!):
- Raven 1/2″ Lace Trim
- Waffle Paper (assortment 2)
- Silver Glass Glitter
- Inked Spider Web embossed design
I’ve been having so much fun with the medallion on this project… you can have fun with it, too! Head on over for Stamp Club (Mahomet, Illinois) tonight, and make the “Halloween BLING” version of this project to take home! Or contact me to book a home party and you and your guests can all make the Speedy Stamper version to take home!

Candy Wrapper Tricks for Treats: Big Shot Halloween
Have you seen this cute box yet? I love the new Candy Wrapper Big Shot Die from the Holiday Mini Catalog!
Here is a fun version where I came up with a special trick to add the Spider Web Textured Impressions Folder to the box. **Hint** Use your Decorative Strip Spacer Platform!
These little boxes are a snap to make at home, but it definitely helps to have some tips. I don’t know about you, but I’m a visual learner, so the Video Tutorials really help me catch the details. (see some of my past Video Tutorials)
**If you’d like to try some of these Candy Wrapper Boxes but don’t have a Big Shot, you’ll want to sign up for my Stamps in the Mail Club.** One of the September projects is a set of 3 of these cute little boxes, and you’ll receive all the supplies pre-diecut to make the boxes at home.
