Pumpkin Candy Holder

I made these pumpkin candy jars out of glass bowls and candle holders I found at Dollar Tree.   I used Kryon Orange spray paint to paint the glass bowls.  Once dry I painted faces with Sharpie Marker.  

I made several of them to give to my husband co workers.  I made the removable paper hats from misc paper.  I also used ribbon for the bow and used a cupcake topper "Trick or Treat" attached to the bottom.  I used Tim Holtz Rosette die with punches images.  Punched Bats finish it off.  

I added another Rosette to the bottom on the base to add weight.

Halloween Treat Bags

Ive seen lots of paper bag treat bags all over the internet so I decided to come up with my own halloween version. I can't remember exactly where I first saw the idea.  The original Idea had ribbon handles but I didn't like how loose they were.  I made my handles out of a 6" X 1' piece of paper scored at 1/2" and taped together.  It is really sturdy.  I filled each bag with candy treats and will give them to my customers next week.  I really hope they like them.

I used different papers I got at Tuesday morning

The paper is just covering a brown paper bag inside.

On the back I put my message and our Logo.

Thanks for Stopping By!

Best Witches

I made these boxes for my husband to give to the girls at work.

I made the box by cutting an 11"x 5" piece of green paper.  I scored at 1 1/4" from the edge of each long side and scored 4 1/2" from each short side.  For the hair I cut strips of black paper and crimped.  I free hand cut the hat and used the window punch (stampin up) for the band and distressed with white paint.  For the eyes I used the 1" circle punch for the white portion and the green eyelids.  I glued on black strips of paper and cut the eye lashes.  For the inside of the eye I used the Owl Punch (stampin up).  For the mouth I used the label punch (stampin up).  The nose was the window punch.  I added a green pearl for the wart.  The "Best Witches" stamp is from Stampendous.

Senior October Craft

I made Oh Frank boxes last year and revised them and used them again.  I pre made the boxes and punched all the details ahead of time.  I made every piece into a sticker so it was easy for the seniors to decorate their boxes.

The changes I made this year was adding the ears (tab punch) and for the hair I just cut black paper with decorative scissors.  For box sizes see my previous post "Oh Frank".

Easy Halloween Treats

My mom wanted to make some Halloween treats to give to her friends at work.  I designed a super easy project that was easy to assemble.

I used Black card stock for the base 2 3/4"x 4".  I folded in half and added a layer of halloween paper (the Paper Studio) cut at 2 1/2" x 1 3/4".  I created the message on a Word document and punched them out using the large label punch (stampin up).  I added a punched bat (stampin up) and stapled to the top of a treat bag (stampin up).  We filled half with pencils and half with M&M's.  It only took us about an hour to make 80..... She is very proud of the way they turned out.

Halloween Treat Bags #2

For these treat bags I used Stampin Up MDS to create the tags.  I printed the Happy Halloween and punched with the oval punch.  I layered it an orange scalloped punch and glued goggly eyes onto the spider.  I purchased the boxes at Joanne's.

Halloween Treat Bags #1

I found free clip art on the internet Free Clip Art "Happy Halloween"
I created the Label in Word and added my company Logo.  I cut the ghosts
with my Cricut (Paper Doll Dress up).  I distress the ghosts, glued them to
a clothes pin and added a plastic spider.  They came together supper easy!

Halloween BOO Card

 

For this card I used Stampin up embossing folder, pendent punch, pendent stamp sent and tiny wishes.  The ghost is from Cricut-Everyday paper dolls.  I used my computer for the BOO and printed on orange paper.  I then punched with the tiny circle.  The card is 4"x4" so even with the ghost it fits into a regular envelope.  Thanks for stopping by...

Oh Frank Halloween Box

I was inspired to create my own version of a frankenstein box after viewing the frank and little woman posted on Split Coast Stampers by Mackensie. I made my box from a simple template (See measurements below). I cut the hair using my Cricut Platnum School grass (9 1/2" 1 1/2"). I Cut misc circles for the eyes using my cricut. I used the tab punch (cut in half) from Stampin up for the nose. I highlighted with green ink, hand drew the scars and mouth. I filled a cellophane bag with candy and tied a hand stamped Happy Halloween with a black ribbon. I made a bunch of these for my husbands co-workers.

Box Info: Cut Card-stock at 6" X 9 1/2". Score 1 1/2" from the bottom. Score from the side at 1 1/2", 4", 5 1/2", and 8". Cut off one square from the bottom left. Fold on all score lines and glue to create box.

Boo Banner

Using the scraps from my last banner, I made a mini Boo banner for my desk at work. I cut the shapes, letters, and ghost using my cricut. I used glitter glue over the ghosts to give them some shine.

Trick or Treat Bag Tags

I found some really cute trick or treat bags at the Disney store. I bought several for my friends kids. I made personalized tags using my cricut, and laminated them for durability.

They were super fast and easy to make!

Trick Or Treat Banner

I made this banner for my fireplace. I used Cricut Storybook for the shapes and letters. I used the stampin up label punch at the top to hang on a piece of ribbon. I cut the spider and bat from everyday paperdolls and attached to clothespin that clip to the banner. To give dimension I used pop dots between the layers. Now I'm ready for Halloween....
