Viva Las Vegastamps! Halloween Party Decorations

Having a Halloween party this year?

(Click on pictures to enlarge)

  Want to bump it up a notch?  

Use stamps from Viva Las Vegastamps! 

to create a witches work haven that could make your skin tingle!  

Set the tone with candles.  Pick up inexpensive candles at the dollar store.  Decorate with Robins Nest Halloween papers, Halloween Glitter Stripe and Glitter Ghost Camo (reverse side), wrap the candles using VLVS Miracle Tape and tie with twine.  

Gather bottles and jars.  Sources are yard sales, flea markets, thrift stores and your very own kitchen.  The collection in this post is from all the above.  Remove all labels.  

A couple of the jar lids had writing on them.  For this project I covered them with twine that had been dipped in glue and wrapped around the lid.  Set aside to dry.  Being impatient, in the oven they went at 150 degrees (for about 1/2 hour) watching them closely as not to burn them.

Go through your Viva Las Vegastamps! and find some that would make great labels for witches potions, tonics or poison.  Not all are typical Halloween stamps, the possibilities are only limited by the imagination. In a word processing program plan layouts and wording for the labels.  All images here were stamped using Memories™ Black Dye Inkpad on ivory card stock.
