3D Haunted House - Tealight Holder

Hello my crafty friends!
It's my turn to post over at the Joy's Life Design Team blog today.

This week the DT is creating 3D projects. I got this cool haunted house file about a month ago and was so excited to get the chance to use it! I had such a blast making this house, I think there are just so many fun things you can do to make it different.
I added some ghosts and the moon to this one:

I holds 3 tealight candles in the back. Isn't it cool how it lights up??
It may be hard to see, but I used a spider web folder on the main part of the house:

And some more embossing on the chimney: 

 I stamped the front awning with a stamp front Joy's Life Halloween Puns:

This has become one of my favorite Halloween decor projects this year... and my kids absolutely LOVE it!!

For my project today, I used a file from SVGCugs.com   I fell in love with this cauldron the moment I saw it.  (unfortunately, I don't think it photographs as well as it looks in person... it really is awesome!)

It holds A LOT of candy... way more than I ever thought it would.

 Of course I had to embellish these candies with some of Joy's super fun Halloween Puns stamps:

Yep... I just LOVE them!! Don't you??


And here is another version of the cauldron for you.  It has a more shabby chic look.

So, how about some CANDY without any calories at all?? That's right, I have got a bit of BLOG CANDY for ya! LOL!

I put together a great set of 6x6 Halloween papers and some fun Halloween twine to use on your Halloween projects.
