Click here to see the Halloween pumpkins my hubby carved. First time making a Coffin Box for Halloween. Used Cricut cartridge Artiste. Recycled black netting in my stash and not sure of what it was part of before. Stamped a Hero Arts sentiment. Cut out the sentiment tag using a Spellbinder Oval die & trimmer to give it a tombstone look. Added twine.
Happy Halloween to everyone that celebrates & here's hoping all the trick or treaters have fun trick or treating for candy.
Hubby carved the 2014 pumpkin, Captain Jack's Black Pearl Pirate Ship, for this year. He carved it using a tall black styrofoam pumpkin I bought at Target. Michaels only had small black pumpkins. Where the red is on outer of ship he shaved the pumpkin just enough so the battery light could show through.
