Paper Pumpkin

Autumn is over up here in Scotland. We have snow!! So my last autumn creation is this paper pumpkin.


I used DP from Bo Bunny. This is so easy to make! 


The pumpkin is cut out from the paper and I used a circle punch from Stampin Up for the back ground. The sentiment is also from Stampin Up.


Found this tutorial on line. Check it out...

Only difference is my pumpkin topper and I cut out strips instead of leaves and spritzed some water on them and curled them around a pen.

Halloween Pinwheel hanger

Nearly Halloween time. So excited to take the kids out trick or treating. Every year we come home with TOO much treats! And how much fun to decorate the house all spooky-tastic!!

Here I have made a little pinwheel hanger for the kids.


I used DP from Stampin Up for this. They are called 'Fright Night'. 


I used some black ribbon (recycled from these annoying ribbons you get inside clothing when you buy something new.)


The spider, ghost and pumpkin is from an old pack of K&Co halloween shapes. Love these too bits. Was thrilled when I had some left in my stash to use.


So easy to make these pinwheels. Found a little tutorial board from Jen@The Crafting chicks. So much fun to do though and so versatile. You can use these for heaps of different projects!


Off to make more decorations. Too much fun. Thanks for coming by. Have a good weekend.
