Halloween Breakfast Treats - Ghost Toasties

Here's a fun way to serve breakfast for your hungry goblins for Halloween!  Use a ghost shaped cookie cutter to remove the insides of bread slices.  Place buttered bread slices onto a griddle or pan and pour egg whites into the middle and let them cook.  You can make the ghosts stand out a bit more by adding black food coloring to some ketchup.  Spoon it into a sandwich baggie and clip the edge to use it like an icing bag (or you can just use an icing bag...lol).  Trace around the ghosts carefully and add the eyes and mouth.

My daughter thought it would be a good idea to toast the inside pieces  and then make a strawberry jam sandwich.  I poked holes for the eyes and mouth to let the jam show through.

Don't forget to add a rubber stamped tag for your breakfast buffet by using the stamp from the Bone Appetit stamp set from The Angel Company.  Dress up the tag by adding ghost cut-outs.  I used the Sizzix for mine, but you could also cut them by hand.

Fangtastic Liquid Refreshments for your Halloween Party

Do you want to serve some fun drinks at your Halloween party? I bought plastic wine glasses at the dollar store along with a pack of plastic fangs to create this "Fangtastic" refreshment. I thought tomato juice would look more like blood, but I didn't have any on hand! I used the Bone Appetit Stamp set on shrink plastic to create a fun tag to go with it.

Here is a close up of the fangs with the tag.

Halloween Yummy Mummy Chocolate Treats

Julie Griffith posted this clever idea for these quick & easy Yummy Mummy treats for Halloween. She even posted a tutorial on how to make them. Thanks for the inspiration, Julie!

I didn't have any google eyes on hand so I just use small circles from cardstock for mine. (Although they do look much cuter with google eyes!)

I used a Hershey chocolate bar and figured I'd give my "Mummy" a "baby" and wrapped up a Reese peanut butter cup as well.

Created with The Angel Company Rubber Stamp set: Bone Appetit

The kids and I had a great time making these skeleton bone chocolate covered pretzels using a candy mold found at iParty (they also have them at Michael's). They are SO yummy! They definitely qualify as "delectable and crispy treats."

I used the Bone Appetit stamp set which is available along with More Bone Appetit during the Fall into Fabulous promotion. I also used Spookalicious for the skeleton head and Sweet Goodies for the decorative circle around it. That is another great halloween rubber stamp set that I'm sure I'll have more fun using this week...so stay tuned!

Rubber Stamped Halloween Cupcakes!

I'm so glad that TAC did not retire the Trick or Treaters Halloween set. It is one of my all time favorite Halloween rubber stamp sets! The stamp is featured in the Fall/Winter 2009 Inspiration Avenue catalogue.

My friends at Mrs. Mack's Bakery & Restaurant have this really cool printer that uses food coloring as ink and rice paper to print photos on cakes. I noticed some leftover rice paper and they gave it to me so I could take it home. I knew this set would make awesome cupcakes! I colored on the stamps with Food Safe (food coloring) markers and then lightly misted them with my ultra fine mist squirt bottle (like you would when you use the watercolor crayons) and then stamped the images directly onto the rice paper. I colored them in with the food safe markers.

OK...I know what you're thinking...."Didn't she use those rubber stamps to make the Sculpey clay pins?" Yes, I did. I recommend using a clean set that you've never used on anything else, but I cleaned my stamps well hopefully they're not toxic...lol

Enchanted Frog Halloween Card

I finally got around to putting labels on the CD Cases for my unmounted sets and when I saw the witch's hat from the For All Seasons stamp set, I knew instantly what I would be doing with it. I used Masking Magic to create a mask (you can also use a post-it note) for the hat after I stamped it. Then I used a stamp positioner to line it up. I had cut my paper a bit too short for the sentiment to fit on it, but I can live with it.

Halloween Sculpey Clay Pins

I've finally tried Sculpey clay! It is so much fun to work with and I have lots of ideas to share with you. My first project was making pins with The Angel Company halloween stamp set called Trick or Treaters.

Acrylic Paint
Pin backs
Clay Sealer (you can use Future floor polish)

Stamped Halloween Napkin

Looks yummy, doesn't it? OK...well I had to do something to dress up the shot and I didn't have my Jello brain made yet. This is a test that I did with Hanes T-Shirt Maker iron on sheets. I've been having trouble getting a nice clean image when I stamp on fabric so I gave this a shot. It's definitely much clearer, but it does give off a bit of shine. Oh...and you can't use word stamps directly onto it or they'll print backwards. I stamped the backing paper on the other side so it showed through and then traced the words by hand on the right side of the paper.

Supplies:

Trick or Treaters stamp set
Hane's T-Shirt Maker iron on transfer sheets
Orange marker
Ribbon
