Spidery Halloween Giveaway

Filed under Giveaways, Halloween, Sale, Swaps

In honor of the Beaded Wire Spider Tutorial by Caroline Ouzts Hay AND the current Chipboard Potion Bottles Swap, Meghan pulled together a Spidery Halloween Giveaway package!

And if you are feeling flush (but not necessarily lucky enough to trust winning the drawing), remember that in addition to the Chipboard Potion Bottles themselves, there are two HUGE sections of Halloween products on sale:
ALL Halloween Collage Sheets (including SIX fabulous NEW Collage Sheets designed specifically for this swap)!
ALL Halloween Rubber Stamps!

So here’s what’s just a portion of the Spidery Goodness in this Giveaway:

To enter the Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post and tell me how you’d use the goodies (don’t forget to leave your email address, too, so I can contact the winner; note, your email address does not need to be made public). (I’m even including free shipping… though only in the U.S.A.)

After 12:01 a.m. on Sunday morning, October 21, 2012, I’ll randomly pick the winner (you have until Saturday night at midnight, October 20, 2012 to enter). I’ll announce the winner in Sunday’s newsletter.

NOTE: Please be patient! Spammers try to post crap here a lot so comments are moderated. So if you don’t see your post in the comments section, be patient and check back in a few hours before re-posting it, please!

Wonderful giveaway!

  11. Beverly S says:

    Not sure yet what I’d do with all these goodies! Having only this season become a fan of Halloween creations, I have absolutely nothing like this in my stash. I think I’d like to make an apothecary, definitely some ATCs. So many possibilities!

  12. What a great collection! I’d use these fabulous goodies on my halloween decoration items, halloween cards & ATCs, a halloween book I have just started, and – of course – my haunted apothecary that is really starting to shape up with Laura’s tutorials! Perhaps a lovely pair of spidey earrings to wrap it all up with! I’ve been wondering if its possible to reinforce Dresden paper and make it stable enough for wear. Back to the lab, Dr. Jeckyl!

    You have caused me to fall in love with Halloween. I’m working on the apothacary, the Potion bottles, my own little apothacary tins and so much more. So needless to say those goodies would find a home REAL quick.

  19. All these spider goodies would be so much fun to work with. If I won them, I would first show my goodies to my card group and try to get them to sign up for the AS Newsletter and encourage them to involved in the AS Swaps. Then I would use them to create enteries for as many Halloween / creepy challenges I can find on the net and declaring my AS goodies.

  20. Kathy Bumb says:

    Love your giveaway. I would use these beautiful products to create another Halloween mini-album. I have been sick, and am trying very hard to complete at least three of them. You have a beautiful store, and have shopped here many times.

  21. Nina Owens says:

    I would have to create another birdcage witch art doll to use these fabulous goodies. I’ve finished the bat-themed one but could really use a spider witch to go with her!

  22. Mary Mac says:

    I have a perfect little shawdow box I would use this wonderful package on.

  23. I would use it with my Halloween Carvings with vintage and repurposed stuff I incorporate into the design. Also this winter is my play time and would like to learn more about collage art.

  24. Barbara Milton says:

    I’m into making decor items right now so I’d love to decorate some wooden blocks and circles with bewitching themes.

  37. kathi schaffer says:

When tied together they become a banner (for a “banner year”!) that has grown throughout the year. These goodies would be perfect for the October project (each of the 45 is unique each time!) or for whatever I do for them next year.

  55. Oh what treasures these are, what would I make? Oh some stc cards, a shrine for Halloween wouldn’t that just be to cute and how about a halloween banner with the jars? Just to win and touch it all would be to fun. Thanks for offering the chance to win something . xo

    I loved halloween as a child, but over the years here in San Antonio, it’s “dying out” I would love to make scrapbook pages from when I was little up until the last time my daughter went trick or treating! thanks

  78. Beki says:

    The question is where to start? There are so many things you can do. I’ve a treat box that is almost done, and I think the altered bottles would be great for place cards for a Halloween party.

    To be honest though, I am really eyeing those bead sprays. It says they can be died. Would that be with alcohol inks? I’ve been making wire wrapped trees, and I think the sprays would work really well as part of one.

  79. I love the spiders! I have one that was made for me for the “Christmas Spider” tradition. I wanted to make my own as well. Now I can see how its done.

    I would make a Spooky mansion with all those ghoulish goodies!

  84. Jo says:

    You have the coolest mixed media offerings I’ve ever seen! I would create a scary little triptych alter of spiders for my Halloween displays.

  85. Michele Parish Smith says:

  102. Wendy says:

    Where do I start? I can see collage pins and spiders embedded in color swirled clear resin cabachons that could then be turned into broches or pendants, and those borders, postage stamp cut outs put into bottle caps that have been distressed. That’s just a few things I’d do with what’s there.

  103. Faith says:

    WOW fantastic giveaway!! Thanks for the chance.
    I would use these products to make cards for some of my ‘witchy’ friends! As not everyone enjoys pretty stuff, this spidery spookiness would be just the trick! Then a little apothecary could be just right for when the grandies come to visit!
