Authentique Spirited Collection with Shelly Maxwell

Halloween is all about the treats, right? 

Why not make them fancy with treat bags? 

Seal them up with tissue tape and a Halloween sticker greeting!

 Authentique's Spirited Line of papers is a solemn tribute to

 Halloween and all things creepy:

 Cut borders from "Labyrinth" (a two-sided cardstock weight paper) and layer, then pop dot for dimensional impact. Don't forget a spooky skeleton sticker and an enamel dot.

  These papers add maturity to the Halloween Holiday making them perfect for your teenage goblins (I have two-so I'll be stocking up!) 

Suspicious

 I loved using the orange hinge stickers to create a flap on the front of this A2 card. Plenty of stickers allow for inside decorations too!

This 6x6 chipboard mini-album came right together with spray adhesive, my crop-a-dile for punching holes and two green jump rings. I added a fluffy die cut paper flower and white tulle to the front of the card for dimension.

Simple Stories Frankie and Friends with Shelly Maxwell

 Simple Stories' Frankie and Friends is an full line of adorable Halloween papers, embellishments, and inspiration! I used a black Graphic 45 pocket mini-album to create this light hearted Halloween Mini-Album treat! Check out the sample in the store.

 Sizzix tag dies works great as a back drops especially with a matching brad, arrow stickers, and other sweet treats.

 There are enough brads on the sheet for every envelope flap plus tons more!

 Pop dot die-cut banner pieces and fussy cut icons to create dimension:

This one page 12x12 layout features layers of 5x7 pieces cut from 12x12 papers from the collection along with a distressed title piece held in place with brads.

The second layout created from this collection includes an adorable popped-up jack-o-lantern, title pieces cut from the borders paper and tissue tape:

Use a white chalk pen around the edges of black cardstock, then use a black pen to create faux stitches around the outside border of the paper.

 Slid a few punched banner pieces under one corner to create a festive feel on the card:

Create spooky eyes with tiny enamel dots placed on printed paper:
