Is it Christmas or Halloween? Plus FREE Gift Kit & NEW Sale!

NEW Mini Potion Bottles Banner FREE Gift Kit!
Sweet! We have TWO Halloween projects by Teri Calia today. And I was inspired by the first project shown below, and made a little collage sheet AND a custom set of miniature chipboard potion bottles, so you could make a mini version of Teri’s banner! Or maybe a set of Halloween gift tags?
The potion bottles in the gift kit are mini versions of the larger Chipboard Potion Bottles that Teri used in her banner (plus 2 extra bottle shapes). The largest is about 2″ tall.
And the new Mini Halloween Banner Half Sheet has tons of little pumpkin-headed children for Halloween (sized to fit on the mini bottles). I love the vintage postcards these came from!
The new collage sheet AND custom set of mini potion bottles is Free for ALL orders — through Monday night, October 2nd! Note: all-digital orders will receive the collage sheet as a pdf file!
You do not need to do anything to receive the new collage sheet. In fact, IF you add it to your order, I’ll assume you’re buying a second copy of the collage sheet.
Potion Bottle Wall Hanging by Teri Calia
Such a cute idea (and execution)! See the wide photo below, or close-up at left, for Teri’s project you’ll want for your own! Quoting from Teri’s blog:
I used two sets of Chipboard Potion Bottles to create the base. I simply glued the potion bottles side by side onto a piece of 12″x12″ cardstock (after papering the fronts of the bottles).
Note: See Teri’s post for a mini tutorial on making the base.
All of the cute pumpkin-headed children I used came from my Halloween Darlings Collage Sheet.
I fell in love with that Wicker Baby Carriage and really couldn’t wait to use it in a piece of art 🙂
Read more (see more photos — of both of Teri’s projects — and see her tutorial) in Teri’s blog post. And here’s a link to her Potion Bottle Wall Hanging supply list.

Hooray for the Halloween Coffin Shadowbox Giveaway!
I love this shadowbox shrine that Teri made from the Unfinished Wooden Coffin Tray!
Again, from Teri’s blog post:
This coffin shaped shrine/shadowbox features a little pumpkin-headed witch swinging on a broom under a happy moon. The quote reads:
When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
’tis near Halloween.
I used moss covered twigs, I found while hiking in the mountains, to make a tree. The moss had turned pale yellow as it dried out so I painted it bright green. The swing is a Miniature Rustic Broom tied to the tree with baker’s twine. The sweet little witch is from my Little Demons Collage Sheet with a witch hat from my Halloween Dress Up Half Sheet.
EVERYTHING in Teri’s Halloween Coffin Shadowbox Supply List is included in today’s Giveaway!

Hey, who won the Coffin Shrines Giveaway? Gwen K! Congratulations! Check your email for more info.
I would combine a little Christmas cheer in decorating the coffin! Krampus would be crawling out of a half buried coffin that looks like it was tossed around during A major hurricane! He would be half skeleton and half his body would be normal! Thanks for the chance to create this eerie scene!
I love this as usual I would do something steampunk
I love Terri’s coffin! I want more Krampus and graveyards in my home so perhaps a combo of that.
Love the coffin! I’d make an exquisite corpse book out of it.
I really like zombies so maybe I would do that.
vampires vampires vampires that is what I would do.
Would make it into a piece of closet for my dollhouse vampyre
How awesome!
I think I’d do something Nightmare Before Christmas themed.
I would love to make a little Halloween shrine!
Western halloween style
I would use my Halloween miniatures and create a ghoulish
Halloween scene!
I would make a haunted fairy coffin!
I would make a little coffin shaped book, spooky of course, to put in it.
What a great shelf in a mad scientists lab!
I am making an apothecary chest, love this
That’s one of my favorite Halloween quotes! I think I need to make a similar shadowbox.
This is so cute!! I think I would try something like Teri did. I have coffins with skeletons and coffin apothecaries so I want something different and cute!
So fun! My husband teaches chemistry so he needs a made science lab!
Hahaha. This is too darn cute! I just want to make this one! But you know things will be different. Thanks for the inspiration!
A apothecary store out of the coffin would be what I make. I would add shelves and some halloween miniatures to the shoppe. >^..^<
The coffin is to awesome,the swinging witch, the moon, the black cat and the saying are great. Would do something similar. Thanks for all the great inspiration!
Just love the coffin swing, so many branches lying around after the hurricane, neat way of re purposing them. And the happy moon too.
Love this new offering!
I love the little jack-o on the swing and the black cat peeking out. Maybe Id put a skelly on the swing 💀☠️
I would make a steampunk Santa in mine
Halloween is my favorite holiday!
I’d put wheels on it and make it a coffin mobile. I would fill it with skeletons, witches, and little girls. Ha.
The coffin is perfect for my haunted house!
A graveyard scene featuring the coffin would be fun.
Love this coffin – so many awesome things to make with it!
Love the chipboard potion bottles and the awesome coffin tray! I’d make a creepy Halloween centerpiece with the coffin tray!
That is soo cute! I prefer the old fashioned/retro type of Halloween, and this reminds me of that. I would make something quite similar to what Teri made. Also love your new Winter Wonderland scrapbook paper! Very pretty! Congrats to Gwen!
I would make a coffin for a vampire of my least favorite football team for a tailgate.
I would make a coffin apothecary by adding little shelves and lots of spooky potions.
I love the coffin idea. I’ve been collecting lots of natural material from my yard for fairy houses so I would incorporate some of those into witch themed coffin. Thanks for the great ideas.
I am thinking witch’s closet with a top shelf for her hat and cat, a spot for her broom etc. Thanks for the chance to win. Congrats Gwen.
I would do a eerie skeleton scene!
I think that I would create a scene with an old horse-drawn hearse in it.
I would make a little cemetery scene.
Christmas? I am still stuck in Summer!
I would like to make a scene with a witch on a broom flying in front of a moon with the fence, moss and cat below, and give it to my wife as a surprise on Halloween.
Alice In Wonderland coffin would be fun.
I LOVE swinging the girl on the swing makes me jealous
I would duplicate Teri”s design as this is the cutest thing I have ever seen!!
