Created this Tag using an idea that my hubby came up with. He saw me making tags and when I told him that the tags had to have a hand on them he said why not use a skeleton hand. Had forgotten I had Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge.
Used Tim Holtz Halloween Background embossing folder, TH sander and TH Distress Ink black soot. Used a BasicGrey stamp "Do Not Enter." Used a Martha Stewart Trick or Treat Bag punch and Kraft cardstock. Added some ribbon.
Cricut cartridges:
Happy Hauntings 3" Hand (Layer1 Shift for Frame10)
Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Tag 3.25" x 6.25" Tag Layer 3" x 6"
Martha Stewart: Trick or Treat punch(I hoard MS punches; however of late there have not been many new styles in stores; I have them sorted by theme in plastic Rubbermaid containers)
paper:
cardstock - Kraft (Trick or Treat bag), core'dinations Jet Black & orange, white
ribbon: Celebrate It Halloween (I love/hoard all Pirate things since I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow)
stamp: BasicGrey "Do Not Enter" (I hoard these $1 stamps & bought a bunch recently in an online deal of the day sale)
Tim Holtz:
Halloween Background embossing folder, sander, Distress Ink black soot(I love & hoard the TH embossing folders as well as the Distress Ink pads; however I use the same foam pad over & over for each color that I keep in a Ziploc bag with the name of the ink written on the Ziploc bag with a black Sharpie)
