Halloween Mussy Tussy

by Leah Allen

The tussy mussy is super easy to make...just make a cone out of patterned paper and glue it together, add a handle of ribbon or a strip of paper (I used brads to hold them)...add some embellies (I used some black tulle, and a tag with a die cut spider web, plastic spider, die cut letters and googly eyes) and be sure to include the instructions inside! I also fill it with halloween pencils, erasers, spider rings and just a few candies!

 

 

Give Thanks Tutorial

“Give Thanks” Tutorial

By Dawn Hopkins

 

1.      Collect your supplies.  I used a Maya Road chipboard mini-album, the “Sam” line from Dream Street, Hambly fall stickers, Doodlebug glitter chipboard letters, and some Glitz bling (all available at the Diner store).

 

2.     Take the Maya Road album out of its packaging.  Using pliers, remove the metal rings connecting the pieces of chipboard.

 

3.   Adhere the Dream Street paper to the chipboard using your adhesive of choice (I used an ATG, but a glue stick or double-sided tape would work well).  Then use a brayer (or another similar object) to make sure the paper is solidly adhered.

 

4.   Using a craft knife and/or scissors, remove the excess paper from around the edges of the chipboard.

5.   You’ll want to use a 1/8 inch punch to punch the holes for the rings.  You can also ink the edges at this point if you wish.

 

6.     Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the remaining pieces of chipboard.  Once you have all 6 complete, lay them out and pull out your embellishments.  Now you’re ready to get creative!

 

7. Have fun and embellish as desired.  Even though the chipboard has an adhesive backing, I used foam pop-dots for extra dimension.  The cardstock cut-outs are from the Dream Street “Sam” line and the tree and owl stickers are Hambly.

 

8.    You’re almost done!  To finish, use your handy pliers and re-attach the metal rings.

 

9.    You’re finished!!!  Stand back and admire your new fall décor!
