Make a Witch’s Boot Candy Holder Halloween Treat

Make a Witch’s Boot Candy Holder Halloween Treat if you want to make something different and fun! It just takes a toilet paper roll or part of a paper towel roll! (I think I prefer a paper towel roll myself!)

To make it look like a witch’s boot just wrap the roll in a designer paper or cardstock. I used the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper. Then take a piece of Basic Black Cardstock however high you would like it to be to wrap around the bottom of the roll to start making the “boot”. Cut it so the ends meet in the center of what will be the front and then you can fold back the top corners. Make it tall enough so you can add the buckle, especially if you want a big one.

Next just cut a piece of Basic Black in a long triangle to make the bottom of the boot. You want it to be as wide as the roll but you can trim around it to make it rounded in the back. You cut it longer than you want and then curl up the toe with just a pencil or something however you like it.

You can make a cheater buckle by just adhering a square of black in the center of a square of Gold Glimmer or Gold Foil. Then put some candy in a cello bag or add it to the “boot” as is. Just have fun with this idea and don’t worry about perfect measurements. It all depends on the size of the roll you use! Here’s another Witch’s Boot I made a couple years ago!

Don’t forget the Paper Pumpkin Flash Sale if it is still going on today! New subscribers can get the October Paper Pumpkin Kit for only $5.00! It certainly is worth a try for that price! Check out yesterday’s post for more info!

Have fun trying the Witch’s Boot Candy Holder Halloween Treat for the fun people in your life!

Making the September 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit Frights & Delights

Leave a reply

This weekend I had fun making my September 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Frights & Delights! It all started with the spooky black box in my mailbox this month!

And when I opened it up, there was the exclusive stamp set and ink spot!

Inside the black tissue paper were all the pieces I would need for this project!

All I had to do was punch out the pieces and look at the directions.

Then the fun began of putting the pieces together! The kit makes 24 Halloween treat bags. You get the cute printed cello bags, a little piece of heavy paper to put in the bottom to make it flat, and all the pieces to make the cute toppers for the treat bags! I stamped the tags and adhered the adhesive-backed spooky words!

Next I tied the sparkly twine around the tag.

There are cute cutouts to adhere to the tags, the pumpkins and ghosts with a silver backing to show through. I used the new Take Your Pick Tool to help with the little glue dots that came in the kit.

It’s best to fold the tags on the score line so you can adhere the bats, ghosts, and pumpkins to the top of the tags. And that’s it for the tags!

All that is left to do is buy some treats later and fill the bags, then attach the cute bag toppers!! I think the trick-or-treaters or whoever I end up giving these treat bags to will love them!

As I write this, the full Frights & Delights Kit is still available in the Online Store as well as the Refill Kit if you already have the full kit or if you have your own Halloween stamp set you want to use. The only thing is you have to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase any past kits. But that’s no problem!! You can join Paper Pumpkin right now and go shop! No risk, no obligation! You can skip a month or cancel your subscription any time by making any changes in your account before the 10th of any month. If you join today, or at least by October 10th, you will receive the October kit. I have no information or hints about the next few kits, but I bet with the holidays coming up, they will be something fun! Remember, the Past Paper Pumpkin Kits will be available only while supplies last! The category will show up under Paper Pumpkin after you become a Paper Pumpkin subscriber.

Enjoy this September video and then go join Paper Pumpkin so you won’t miss the fun!

A Toil & Trouble Halloween Treat Bag Topper

Leave a reply

I just love using the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper to make Halloween cards and other projects, like this simple little Toil & Trouble Halloween Treat Bag Topper. If you have children or neighbors or office workers to whom you want to give a little candy treat, just make a simple little topper with cardstock and some decoration to close a bag of Halloween candy or treats!

Start with the 3″ x 6″ Gusseted Cellophane Bags that will hold some Halloween candies. If you don’t want to be quite so generous with the candy, partially fill the bag with some “shred” like in gift bags or crumple a piece of colored tissue paper….or cut the bag down from the top to make it a little smaller. Put the treat inside and fold the top over once or twice. Adhere with some Snail Adhesive or Fast Fuse (some refills still left on the Clearance Rack!).

Make the bag topper just a bit wider than the bag. Mine is 2″ x 3 1/4″ folded in half, so 4″ x 3 1/4″ to start with. I cut out some of the images from the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper in the Holiday Catalog and adhered them to the topper. The greeting is stamped in Granny Apple Green from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set and punched with the Classic Label Punch. I thought I needed something besides just the Basic Black Cardstock in the background so I put a piece of the polka-dot pattern on the topper. I think it sets off the cutout images better. Just adhere the topper to the bag.

Be sure to check out the Clearance Rack and don’t forget to spend your Bonus Coupon Codes from August if you earned some!

If you want the September Paper Pumpkin Kit, the Frights & Delights Kit, you will need to subscribe first so then you can purchase the “past kit” in the Online Store. If you are already a subscriber and want more of the treats, buy just the refill. Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin HERE and get the October Kit in mid-October. You must join by October 10th.

And if you want to make your own Halloween treat bags, try something like my Toil & Trouble Halloween Treat Bag Topper and have fun making up some treats!

Triangle Treat Box For Halloween

Leave a reply

One of the easiest things to make is this Triangle Treat Box For Halloween. Triangle Boxes are so easy and the size can be varied. It just involves a strip of cardstock scored a certain way and folded up. Decorate the outside according to the occasion, put your treat inside, punch some holes in the side and tie shut with ribbon. Easy peasy!

For this triangle box start with a strip of 4″ x 8″ cardstock, in this case, Granny Apple Green. It is scored in half, like a card, at 4″. Then on each end, put a pencil mark at the center point. Next, score on a diagonal from that center point on the end of the paper to the center score line on each side. Essentially you are making a point at each end. See the diagram below. Just angle the paper on your Stampin’ Trimmer so that both the center score line and the center point on the end are on the track on the Trimmer and then score.

To decorate the box, I sponged a little Granny Apple Green ink around the edges of the front of the box. I was going to use some cut-out image from the Toil & Trouble DSP, but changed my mind and punched out the black cat with the Cat Punch. I thought the cat could use a moon so I punched a circle of Crushed Curry Cardstock with the 1″ Circle Punch and even sponged it with some Crushed Curry ink.

The greeting is stamped from the wonderful Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set. I think this stamp set is a must-have. You can always find some sort of greeting you can use in this stamp set. It replaces Teeny Tiny Wishes, my previous favorite and highly used stamp set. I stamped it in Granny Apple Green Ink and punched out with the Classic Label Punch.

I thought the box still needed a little something, like some shiny little stars. I added some small Rhinestone Jewels to the front of the box or I could have used some sequins.

If you want another idea, here is a Halloween triangle box I made to look like a Witch’s Hat. It shows how the paper gets folded into the triangle if you need more information.

These Triangle Boxes can be made for Christmas gifts or birthdays or any other when you want to place a small gift or treat inside! Try it! So easy! It’s just a little over five weeks until Halloween! Oh my!! Make a Halloween Treat Box for Halloween and give to someone for a surprise!

How To Make a Baby Fold-Out Mini Album

Leave a reply

Over the years I have made many of these mini baby albums for gifts! They are easy, not too big, and a nice place for new parents to keep at least a few photos of their precious child. Of course this kind of fold-out album could be made for any occasion, not just babies! You do, however, have to PRINT OUT some photos off your phone or camera to get the full effect! It’s great having photos on our phones, but it’s not the safest place and sometimes it’s better to have a little album to show someone or look through ourselves.

The only difficult thing about this album is that you need 12″ x 12″ paper. Stampin’ Up! just carries assortments these days, which is fine for most things. You can also purchase a full pack of Whisper White 12″ x 12″ cardstock and use that for the base of the album and then decorate to your heart’s content!

You’ll start with a piece of cardstock 12″ x 5″, scored at 3 1/2″, 4″, 9″ and 9 1/2″. This makes the back and the fold over front top and bottom pieces.

Cut two pieces 12″ x 4 3/4″ also out of the base color, which will be the pieces that open out to the sides of the album. Score these at 4 3/4″ and 9 1/2″. Crease all score lines on all the pieces back and forth. You will figure out which way you want the sides to fold in after you get them assembled into the album.

With the first 12″ x 5″ piece placed vertically, adhere the two side pieces into the center (the part that will be the inside of the back of the album). This will be the 2 1/2″ section of each piece that you will adhere just inside the score lines of that back piece. Then adhere a piece of 4 3/4″ x 4 1/2″ over that two ends to cover them up.

Now you are ready to start decorating! Determine which way you want your album to fold…..the shorter piece on top or the bigger piece, depending on how you are going to decorate it so you have your inside patterns going the right direction. Now use whatever designer paper, stamps, cardstock, stamping, embellishments you want to decorate each of the pages and the outside cover. On this sample you will see some retired paper and stamps, but when I make a gift or custom order for someone, I use whatever I have in my current or past stash that I think works!

These next two photos show the back sides of the fold out sections.

I made a belly band to hold the album closed. When you fit this around, whatever width you like, you don’t want it to be too tight because, after all, you have scored a 1/2″ space to make room for photos.

This is a really easy and fun album to make so I hope you will give it a try. Use what you have. Order some 12″ x 12″ paper from Stampin’ Up! and you will be all set to make these little mini fold-out albums!

Santa’s Workshop 2-4-6-8 Treat Box

Leave a reply

This little Santa’s Workshop 2-4-6-8 Treat Box with a little elf on the front is easy and basic to make. We will need lots of basic and easy holiday cards and items to make in the coming months because you know how fast the holidays sneak up on us! Happy September!

I think the 2-4-6-8 box is one of the first things a stamper learns to make. You can vary the height of the bag or make a lid and make it a box. Or make tabs on both ends and make it a small box. This little box is made with just a half sheet of cardstock, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. Just score it at 2″, 4″, 6″ and 8″ going across. Turn the paper lengthwise and score at 2″. That short area will be the bottom of the box. Cut on the score lines just up to the 2″ score line going across. Cut off the narrow little tab area. Apply a strong adhesive, like the Multipurpose Liquid Glue or the Tear & Tape, to the narrow tab on the end, then fold the other side of the box over to adhere. It’s easier to do this flat than to try to hold the box. Fold in the flaps for the bottom and add a little glue to hold them in place. Leave the top open or pinch to close, whatever you like.

For my little box, I just pinched the top closed by pushing in on the sides a little bit and punching holes in the top for a bow made with the Garden Green Baker’s Twine, coming in the Holiday Catalog. Be sure you put your treat inside first! You could also use a clip of one kind or another to hold it closed.

To decorate my box, before tying it closed, I added a small banner of the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper. Maybe I had read it and forgot, but several sheets in this package of paper have white flocking on some of the areas! Very nice! Mind you, it was very difficult to cut into any part of this lovely new paper to make this banner and punch out the little elf! But it had to be done! The little greeting is from Itty Bitty Greetings, a suitable replacement for the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes, one of my favorites.

Here is another 2-4-6-8 box I made that is taller. It’s a fun project to know how to make!

Beginning today, September 1st, Stampin’ Up! has a new promotion, and it goes along nicely with the advent of the Holiday Catalog on September 5th. If you gather some orders together with some friends or go crazy with the Holiday Catalog (it doesn’t take much effort, I assure you!) and have your own large order of $250 or more before shipping and tax, of course, you will get FREE this Dashing Along Designer Series Paper!

Stampin’ Up! decided to use a mix of old favorites and new patterns to bring you beautiful, traditional Christmas paper. This collection of patterns has an eclectic feel and is perfect for layering, and while the newsprint design isn’t Christmas-themed, was selected for its versatility and popularity with customers. This promotion ends on September 30. This paper is in addition to your Stampin’ Rewards. Do remember that if you use any Bonus Coupons you earned in August, that reduces your order total (so you get to order a couple more things to reach $250!).

September 5th is the date the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog goes live! After you receive your order (or should I say your FIRST order because you won’t be able to resist more than one!), you can start on your holiday cards and projects. I urge you to try something like this Santa’s Workshop 2-4-6-8 Treat Box for one of your holiday projects as it may come in handy!

Halloween Favor Clear Tiny Treat Box

Leave a reply

This Halloween Favor Clear Tiny Treat Box is so fun and easy to make if you need a little party favor or treat! It’s a good idea to always keep a package of these Clear Tiny Treat Boxes on hand for little gifts or treats. You never know when one might come in handy at the last minute! They are so easy and fun to decorate for whatever occasion, not just Halloween, of course!

These little clear plastic boxes come flat so you just assemble them by opening up and creasing the score lines to form the box. Be sure to take off the extra plastic that protects them. Then decorate away, inside or outside!

For this box, I just cut a strip of the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper, coming in the Holiday Catalog in September. I wrapped it around the box, barely creasing it on the corners, just to see how it would fit. You can start with the 12″ strip, however wide you would like it, and then see how much excess length you can cut off. Decide if you want that overlapping in the back of the box or in the front, hidden by whatever you decorate the front with. Then you can take it off and crease the folds with a Bone Folder to get a good, crisp crease.

For the front of my little Halloween favor box, I stamped the little bird ghost from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog and colored it in with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. There are new colors coming in the Holiday Catalog, too! Love these!!! Then I punched him out and layered him on various circle punches and the small 1 1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I could have done even more, maybe tied ribbon around the box or added a greeting, but I just stopped here and put some candy inside!

Another idea to consider for Halloween treats is to join Paper Pumpkin before September 10th to receive the September papercrafting kit that is definitely going to be Halloween but not too spooky! I cannot wait!

If you would like to make a little Halloween favor box like mine, these Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are fun to have available, whether or not you join Paper Pumpkin! Be sure to put them on your order and be ready for the holidays!

Girls Stamp Camp Projects

Leave a reply

Almost a month ago now, I had the pleasure of having five girls and four moms over to do some stamping! The girls are all friends in Girl Scouts and/or school and they were so wonderful to work with. I initially thought that being 11-year-olds and in our rather short time frame, we wouldn’t get that many projects done. The former teacher in me always overplans, regardless, even with adults, because you never really know how fast or slow people will work. And I like nothing better than thinking up projects on my own or browsing the internet (of course!) for ideas so I had PLENTY from which to choose.

My first thought was to decorate a gift bag for them to carry home their projects and teach them how they can recycle the bags they might get at a store by decorating with paper and maybe some stamping and embellishing. The one in the photo I made a while back in this post, but it was a good sample and I used this same retired paper for the girls because I had enough of it, in different colors. They stamped different flowers in matching colors. I also had die cut their first name initial with the Large Letters Dies to glue on the tag. I love decorating bags like this.

To teach them how to make a card, I thought a birthday card is always handy to have on hand. One girl made hers for her dad who had a birthday coming up. I found this design somewhere online. It was easy to make with the Balloon Bouquet Punch and the In Color 2018-2020 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. My sample used all the same colors but some of the girls and moms traded balloons so they could have each balloon a different color. I love when people put their own twist on a project.

When I first became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, at my first workshop we made a sticky note holder (whatever brand you like to use!). This one just takes a piece of cardstock folded to fit a pad of notes inside and then decorated on the front. For this one, we used a piece of the Garden Impressions 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the front and then stamped a daisy with the Daisy Delight Photopolymer Stamp Set and punched with the Daisy Punch. These stamps and punch were very popular last year when they came out in the catalog and still are this year. Some people punched two daisies to layer, which was cute also! For the daisy center we used a Clear Faceted Gem.

The thank you card used the Stampin’ Up! Note Cards & Envelopes and I die cut the butterfly ahead of time with the Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies. I got this idea online from Mary Fish. We placed a colored piece of cardstock behind the die cut and popped the butterfly up on Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Some call this the Eclipse Technique. For a little bling, we added the Glitter Enamel Dots.

And what’s a stamping event without candy and chocolate?! We assembled the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes and decorated with some retired designer paper and ribbon. Of course one of my favorite things to do is to cover chocolate candies with a small strip of designer paper, so I showed them how to do that for some chocolates to put in their Tiny Treat Box.

Who would have thought we would get through this many projects with 9 people in about two hours or less?! But we did, and still had extra time, I hurriedly cut some more paper and grabbed some small chocolate candy bars and we made the small Halloween slider treat with the Cat Punch. This is a fun little project that is surprising that when you pull on the ribbon at the top, it pulls the candy bar up and out of the cardstock wrapper.

I always like to make a lot of projects, I wonder if these broke a record in how many we got done in two and a half hours with nine people! The girls said they should come back for “every occasion” and were amazed at all my stamp sets on the shelf. I’m just glad they enjoyed the stamping experience. I told them all to come back to me when they are 18 and I’ll sign them up to be Demonstrators!

Easy To Make Note Holders For Your Purse or Desk

Leave a reply

One of the first things I learned to make as a stamper, and a project I did at my first workshop as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator was this Easy to Make Note Holder For Your Purse Or Desk! These are easy and fun to make, and you can customize them any way you like!

The base is Melon Mambo cut 3 1/4″ x 7 1/4″. Score at 3 3/8″ and 3 7/8″. This will allow for the thickness of the “sticky notes” you will put inside. That’s all there is to it, really! I decorated all of these with 3″ x 3″ squares of the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. It’s on sale today and tomorrow in the Buy 3 Get 1 Free DSP Sale!

To decorate each note holder, I stamped and/or punched a daisy with the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and the Daisy Punch. I think it is best to adhere the daisies flat onto the front so they don’t get stuck as easily on something in your purse, if that is where you are going to put it. If it is on your desk, you could pop them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a little pizzazz, I added a Clear Faceted Gem in the center of the daisy.

Just adhere a pad of notes to the back of the inside of the holder.

Another option would be to make a belly band to go around the note holder and stick the daisy on top of that. You could also have a matching pen if you were giving these as a gift!

Grab some pieces of cardstock and scraps of designer paper and make some of these easy note holders for your purse or desk and give some to a friend!
