Halloween Workshop

Last week I demoed a workshop for a customer who wanted a Halloween theme. I had to get creative because I only have two Halloween stamp sets, and one of those is retired so I can't demo it!  Ultimately I came up with three projects that the whole group seemed to enjoy.  I think they turned out pretty cute too!

Card Recipe (All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Pumpkin Patch
Inks: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Old Olive
Papers: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Sponge Daubers, Modern Label Punch, 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Old Olive

I got the idea for this little punch spider here and thought it would be perfect for my class.  No stamps, no inks, just punches & a bit of adhesive. I made the spider in the workshop and then showed how you could use him on a card, in a scrapbook, or hang them from string to make a mobile or other decoration.

Papers: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Basic Black
Accessories: Photo Corners Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Crop-a-dile, Silver Elastic Cord

My final project for this class was an adorable covered notepad.  I had the Holiday Best stamp set put aside to use as a door prize, but I was desperate to find something for the third project so I went ahead and decided to integrate the set into my collection since it had the Trick or Treat stamp. This project was the highlight of the workshop!
