Little Red Riding Hood with a Halloween Twist

Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Laura Carson, Newsletters, Red Riding Hood Kit, Tutorials

Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Laura’s project that are still available on the new site.

Well, that was impressive! The earthquake this morning was a reminder of those North Bay Faults. I’m still picking up a few things (and one of the cats is yet to be seen) but we’re all fine.

So, on to Miz Bella’s
introduction to Laura’s inspired Halloween take on Little Red Riding Hood. Then, beside the new goodies and a recap of the current FREE Gift Kit, there’s a new Button Sale in honor of hte Halloween buttons in today’s Giveaway.


Worthy of Grandma’s hot buttered buns is Little Red Riding Hood with a Halloween Twist by Laura Carson!

Laura removed one of the panels from the Paper Mache House Accordion Shrine to make the base for Grandma’s house. If you notice on the outside of the house there are stones covering the Red Music Scrapbook Paper and the Black French Script Scrapbook Paper from the Little Red Riding Hood Kit!
FAUX stones created using the Stone Wall Stencil and Texture Sand. (Better stock up on this — I think it’s Laura’s new favorite product!) The Texture Sand is what gives the delightfully decrepit, falling apart appearance to the “stonework.” Hmm. My body must be made out of Texture Sand because it is also decrepit and falling apart as I am STILL sick after two weeks but I digress!!

To give Little Red Riding Hood more of a Halloween feel Laura used Creepy Chipboard Tree Cut-Outs on the front of the house, Dead Tree Cut-outs on the back of the house along with Resin Owls, Martha Stewart Halloween Glittered Bats and Moon Stickers and Small Plastic Pumpkins.

The fantabulous Laura has put together a lovely step-by-step tutorial that will take you through making your own Little Red Riding Hood Haunted Book. Don’t have a small book to use? Guess what? She shows you how to make one! Seriously, I need to package that woman’s energy. Before you go happily skipping off to hang out with Miz Crafty Carson, check out her Supply List.

OK, now you can take your buns on over to Laura’s blog!
