No! It is not a 3D Beer Bottle...it is Irish Coasters. I used tiles left over from my kitchen, added SVGs and Modge Podge to finish it off.

Sammie Could Not Resist Them!

Hey everyone - I have a fun Halloween Treat project to share with you today. I made these Halloween Crackers for son’s classmates. I was inspired by Thienly, my fellow SVG Cuts DT Member and fabulous crafter, here is her version. I made them slightly smaller to fit my candy perfectly.

I made little tags for each cracker and had a blast embellishing with Creative Charms. I used Vintage Halloween Self-Adhesive Metal Frames, Gradient Gems, Vintage Brads and Vintage Jewels to name a few.

Papers are from the DCWV Midnight Spell Stack and Stamps are from Punkin Patch Stamps ~ Trick or Treat. I created SVGs and cut on my Cricut using SCAL so the stamps fit perfect. I am new to stamping and loving it so far! Cracker file is from SVG Cuts.




My doggie Sammie, the soon to be one year old terrier mix, decided to partake on one my crackers - thank goodness I caught him before he digested any Creative Charms or Cow Tales (that is the candy inside). I do however have to make just one more before the Halloween party. Hope the kiddos like them as much as my four legged son did!


Thanks for stopping by today --- Please stop on over to my very talented friend Mel’s Blog In Love With A Bug - she is having a Creative Charms Giveaway today that you don't want to miss!



Happy Craftin'!
