Seasonal Tags - Be SPOOKY!! An E-Team blog hop!

~

Hello again, everyone!  The E-Team has been challenged by our fearless leader, Daisy, to create a Seasonal Tag or ATC….and be SPOOKY! 

Ok, so I went a little on the cutesy side of spooky, but ya gotta have some variety here, right?  I generally enjoy the cuter side of Halloween goblins anyway!

***There WILL be prizes folks!  Daisy will select 3 winners randomly from comments left on the participating blogs.  And if you post a comment about your favorite Halloween treats on the eP blog, you'll have a chance to win a $25 eclectic Paperie voucher.  Now you have to admit that's a real treat!!

Comments will be taken Friday, Sept 16th, through Sunday, Sept 18th, and the winner will be announced on Monday, Sept 19th.***

On to my SPOOKY tag…

I wanted to use one of the neat SM plastic tubes that Daisy sent me as a treat holder for MY favorite treat, Reese's Pieces.  So I tried one of the new #5 black craft tags to see if it would wrap around the tube.  And yes, it did!  So I marked where I needed to punch a hole in the other end of the tag.~

Next I pulled out some Maya Road chipboard alphas and painted them with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Gesso.  When that dried, I painted them with some Glow Green craft paint.

~

   
~

I cut papers from the ADORABLE (in a Tim Burton sort of way) Mischievous 6x6 paper pad to fit both the front and back of the tag.  I also cut an extra witch's head and pumpkin head and some stars for the night sky.  I added a little cloud die cut too.

~

~

I put it all together without the tube, because I knew I wanted the recipient to be able to remove it from the tag.

~ ~

Here it is with the tube slipped into the opening of the black tag:

I cut a piece of black felt, trimmed the bottom edge with my pinking shears, and adhered it to the cap only, using Scor-Tape.  Then I tied some Twinery twine around it in Halloween colors and slipped it onto the tube.  The finished Cutesy SPOOKY tag:

This was really quite easy, folks.  It was also really fun, especially because I had to keep refilling the tube with Reese's Pieces.  I don't know how they kept disappearing! 

And you know what?  The BOO really does glow in the dark!!!

Now it's time for you to continue on the hop.  Here are the participating E-Team members:

I need to get that "Drippy Goo" punch, it's so awesome. I love how you designed this tag to hold a small tube of candies, very clever. Halloween has become such a big holiday within the mixed media world, I remember when I first started doing this there wasn't even 25% of what they have now for Halloween products. It's become so much fun! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring.
