Spooks on the Table and a Ghostly Giveaway – IHP Sept. DT Blog Hop

Hey crafty people.  I hope your are ready for a little Halloween entertaining goodies that are sure to bring a smile to the face of any goblin visiting your home.


The I{heart}Papers Design Team is working their magic with this month’s challenge.  The theme this month is Treats & Tablescapes.  I went with the table settings motif; a treat for any witch or warlock. To make sure everyone is in their right spot, I created these spooks-on-a-stick place cards.

I scored these tiny white buckets at a garage sale and at the time didn’t know what I wanted them for, but knew they would come in handy.  I filled them with clear glass flat pebbles.  I used a magic marker to paint four bamboo chopsticks.  I always take home my chopsticks when we eat Chinese because they always come in hand for something – as was the case for this project.
I added these cute little glittery ghosts to die cuts of my Labels 11 that I spritzed with Pssst! Shimmer Spray Sparkle using a Tim Holtz spider web mask. Black Tulle is my new favorite Halloween decorating material and I couldn’t create my project for today without using some of it.  The wonderful Black Crepe Ribbon from May Arts at the bottom of each stick finishes it off.
I created the name tags using a speech bubble punch and using some papers from SEI, created four names, identifying the ghostly spot for each guest. I also created these napkin rings that match the name plates.  Along with the shimmery ghosts and Labels 11 die cuts, I added some great orange ric rac and created a bow from some more wonderful ribbon from May Arts toppled with a button and some twine.

So now that you’ve seen my little “trick” I’m ready to give you a treat.  The photos below show you the five different elements that I’d love to give away to one winner. 

Here is a look at what is up for grabs.  A spooky prize package of papers, stickers and embellishments.

A package of sticker embellishments and a package of die-cut accents.

  A full package of alphabet stickers and spooky trim.

To make shipping just a little easier on me, I’ve cut down the 12 X 12 double sided sheets of patterned paper into 6 X 6 size.  It’s a great package of all the things you might need to make your own table settings or several fun Halloween cards.  To be entered into the drawing, leave a comment telling me what your favorite Halloween costume was as a child.  On Thursday, September 23rd, I’ll randomly select one of the comments to win this package.

Now if you are ready for even more treats and tablescapes, check out what these IHP Design Team members have in store for you.
