Last Minute Past Halloween Ideas!

Leave a reply

If you are still looking for last-minute Halloween ideas, here are a few from past years! You can update with our newer products or maybe you still have some of these older products from years past! Whatever you like! Click the title above the photo to go to that blog post for directions. Don’t miss the last idea at the bottom of the post – a new one I had to stick in because it’s so fun! I usually make one of these every year! Save that paper towel roll!

Make a Cute Halloween Votive Candle Holder

Make Easy Sour Cream Containers for Halloween Treats

Halloween Chocolate Candy Treat Bag

Triangle Treat Box For Halloween

Halloween Night Candy Bars

Witch’s Boots

Here’s an updated idea I made this year but I’ve made lots of these in the past!

I didn’t stuff any candy in there yet but I will! The Witch’s Boots are made with a paper towel roll cut in half. Wrap the roll in designer paper or cardstock. I used the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper, the pattern with the stripes that look like socks! Yes, you can use Christmas paper for a Halloween project!

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 the front of the boot and then you can fold back the top corners. Make it tall enough to add the buckle, especially if you want a big one.

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 can 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 Foil. Then put some candy in a cello bag or add it to the “boot” as is. Just have fun with this idea

I hope these ideas are helpful and fun for you! Each one of these is my favorite thing that I love to make! (Maybe, especially, decorating these large candy bars??!!!)

Have fun and be safe on Halloween Night!

Them Bones Skeleton Triangle Treat Box For Halloween

Leave a reply

One of my favorite types of treat boxes is this triangle treat box. You can make them for any occasion such as this Them Bones Skeleton Triangle Treat Box For Halloween. This kind of treat box is really so easy to make! You will be surprised if you haven’t made one yet!

You can vary the size of these triangle boxes. All you have to do is follow the basic pattern. You can use cardstock or designer paper. You can leave the cardstock plain, stamp on it, or add designer paper or embellishments. And these boxes aren’t just for candy or food. They can hold a small gift, or even money or a gift card.

Here is the basic pattern and the size I used for this Halloween Triangle Box. I used a piece of Them Bones Designer Series Paper to make this box. Obviously, cardstock would be a little bit sturdier if you needed that. My paper is cut at 4″ x 8″. If your paper has a pattern you need to pay attention to which way you cut the paper so the pattern won’t be sideways or something.

After cutting the paper to the size you want, the rest is scoring. The blue lines on the diagram above are the score lines. Score the length of the paper in half, so if your paper is 4″ x 8″, score at 4″ in the middle. Measure the mid-point on the ends (2″) and lightly mark with a pencil.

The “tricky” part is scoring on the diagonal but it is easy. In that awkward position with your Paper Trimmer, score from that 2″ middle point at one end down to the middle score line which will be on a diagonal. Do that on both sides of one end, then turn the paper and score at the other end in the same way. When you do it, you’ll see how it goes. Here you can see the other side of the paper, which I could have used instead of the bones pattern. You can see what the score lines look like, really from midline to midline. Then you’ll punch holes in each corner, preferably holding the ends together when you do it so they match up.

After you do the scoring, crease all the score lines and fold the box together to see how it goes. Then hold the ends together on each side and use a hole punch of whatever size you like to punch holes through the two papers on each side. After you decorate your box and put the treat inside, you can tie the box together with ribbon or twine.

This box is simply decorated by cutting out the skeletons from another sheet of paper in the Them Bones DSP and adhering them to the box. You could also add a greeting or some other embellishments. I tied my box closed with the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon.

Here is what the box looks like from the side:

Them Bones Skeleton Triangle Treat Box Side

Here’s a triangle box I turned into a Witch’s Hat for Halloween….nine years ago! Wow!

Try one and you will see how easy it is to make a triangle treat box. And you just might need one or more for Halloween night maybe for family treats or for a few special trick-or-treaters!

Happy Halloween in a few days!

Stampin’ Up! is having a virtual event on the second Saturday in November called OnStageAtHome 2023 and I was one of the lucky “several thousand” people who registered early enough to get this free gift box! It just arrived late yesterday and was so much fun I had to show you all the things in it!

Them Bones Halloween Treat Bag

Leave a reply

Here is a quick and easy candy or treat holder you can make! It’s the Them Bones Halloween Treat Bag and you can copy this exactly or make it and decorate it however you like! It only took a few minutes to make!

Start with a piece of cardstock or designer paper that is 12″ x 6″. Keep in mind that 2″ of that will be the bottom flaps, so if you want your treat bag taller, you need to add more height so maybe you would want to cut the paper 12″ x 8″. I used the batty pattern in the Them Bones Designer Series Paper in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.

Using the Paper Trimmer or Scoring Tool you will score the paper so it can be folded into the bag shape. Pay attention if your paper has a pattern so you don’t end up with it upside down! Place the paper vertically so you can score the bottom flaps at 2″. Then turn the paper so the 12″ length goes across the top, horizontally. Score at 1″ 3 3/4″, 6 1/2″, and 9 1/4″.

Crease and fold all the score lines and use a Bone Folder to get a sharp crease. Cut out the small section at the bottom as you see in the diagram above (the light blue area). Cut up on all the bottom score lines for the flaps just up to the 2″ score line.

You can pretty well see from my paper above how it is scored, creased, and the bottom flaps cut apart. If you flipped the designer paper over, you would put adhesive on that narrow strip on one side and it adheres to the straight side on the other end of the paper.

Fold everything to form into the treat bag. Make sure you see how it all goes together before you start glueing! Add some strong Seal+ or Tear n Tape on that narrow section above the cut off piece. Then just fold the other end over flat on the table so it all lines up. This is easier than trying to hold it in your hands! Next, glue the bottom flaps together. Push your Bone Folder or something down inside the bag so you can push those bottom flaps together after they have been adhered to get a strong bond.

Before you decorate the bag, look and see where the paper is adhered together to form the bag shape so that you can put that in the back so it’s not so visible. Then decorate the front of the bag however you like. I cut out a rectangle with a skeleton on it that fit perfectly on the front of the bag. You could add a greeting or some jewels. I decided I liked it as is.

With this pattern, you can leave the top of the bag open if you like. Before adhering anything, you could even fold the top edge of the bag down if you wanted to show the inside design of the paper. I didn’t want my bag to be much shorter than it is so I didn’t do that. But if you want to put your treat inside and then close it up, you can add some kind of clip or punch two holes in the top with a punch and put a ribbon through. I used this Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon (retired) but the gingham ribbons we sell now would be cute also. To close the top of this bag, just push in the sides and work with it until you get the top edges even and the sides and bottom how you want them.

As I said before, you could use any paper and decorations to make these little bags for any occasions to hold treats or a small gift! Once you get the hang of making these little bags and boxes with your stamping supplies, you will open up another way to be creative!

Penguin Punch Christmas Gift Tags

Leave a reply

If you don’t already own the Penguin Builder Punch, run and get it on the Stampin’ Up! Clearance Rack so you can make these Penguin Punch Christmas Gift Tags! I can’t believe it is still available but it is marked down to $4.50 instead of $19.00! You may as well buy one for that price! Or you may already have one from a previous catalog so dig it out and make something fun for Christmas!

I thought it would be fun to make a couple of gift tags using the Penguin Punch and some new designer series paper. You can use a tag die that you have or cut your own rectangle and then cut the top corners at an angle. I intended to use the tag die in the new Merriest Trees Dies (coming soon!) but then I came across the Tailor Made Tags Dies. If you have those, just use either of the die shapes.

I cut out a piece of designer series paper and cardstock for each of the tags. That makes them both the same size so you can’t layer them, but I just trimmed off inside the stitched marks on the designer paper, which made it fit just inside the stitched lines of the cardstock tag.

The Penguin tag on the left is made with Poppy Parade Cardstock and the Fa La La La La pattern in the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper (161945). This paper is so bright and happy, you will love it! I adhered the designer paper onto the cardstock tag and popped the penguin up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a finishing touch, I got the idea to just cut out a short strand of the Christmas lights on another of the papers and put it on the tag up at the top. If you want, you can put a piece of Basic White on the back of the tag if you think you need something to write your “To & From” on or a personal message.

The penguin tag on the right is made with Misty Moonlight cardstock and the snowflake paper in the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (162015). Before I adhered the penguin with Stampin’ Dimensionals, I got the idea to cut out some trees from the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (162377). It’s the paper at the top of page 5 in the Holiday Mini so don’t miss it. Maybe some dies would have cut out some of these little trees but I didn’t look! (Actually, some dies will cut out the fuller trees, not the skinny straight ones.) For a greeting, I used one in the Brightest Glow Stamp Set but cut the words apart and cut them smaller so they would fit on the tag.

The penguins are super easy to make with the punch. Just cut the two pieces out of black and white and the little feet out of Pumpkin Pie cardstock or something similar. I do not have the coordinating stamp set so I just drew in the little black eyes with a marker and the little beak with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker. If you want, you could add a scarf around his neck or make a little hat.

The die punches out the hole in the tag so you don’t have to do that. Just pick a ribbon you like to tie through the hole so your tag is ready to go when you start wrapping gifts!

Remember to check out the Clearance Rack and see what other bargains you need plus the Penguin Punch!

Kits Collection Festive Tags Kit

Leave a reply

A great kit to purchase on the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection Sale during August is this Festive Tags Kit! It is an easy kit to make, no stamping, only takes about an hour total, and you will be using the tags for sure for holiday gifts! It’s a win win!

Inside the box, you get all the supplies you need to make the project, all wrapped up with the easy directions.

Kits Collection Festive Tags Kit Contents2

It’s so fun to open up the package of supplies and see what goodies you got in there! Besides the basic pieces to make the tags, you get some goldish jewels and a roll of twine, plus Dimensionals, which are the only adhesive you need.

Here’s a tip that usually works! As you punch out the pieces of any kit, if you keep the stack of the same pieces lined up and together, you can usually punch out all three pieces in the stack at the same time. You don’t necessarily have to do each one on each sheet. Just stack them up perfectly and punch them out! Once you have all the pieces and embellishments laid out on the table, you are in good shape to start assembling the project!

This Festive Tags Kit makes 15 tags for your holiday gifts! Three each of five designs! That really gives you a good variety! And just stick on the greeting (in another language, if you choose!) instead of stamping! Tied the decorated tag onto a backing tag and you have a cute tag with space to write on the back who the gift is to and from. Once you add those gold-colored self-adhesive jewels, it really makes those cute tags pop!

Watch Sara’s video below and see how she puts the tags together!

You’ll save a little bit of money if you purchase this kit before August 31 while this Kits Collection Sale is on! I would recommend buying more than one kit, maybe even two extra kits! You will enjoy putting the tags together and knowing that you have plenty when you go to gift wrap your packages. Or add the tag you made to the front of a card, perhaps with an extra layer or something to make up the card, and you’ll have an easy card ready to go!

Check out the other holiday tag kits from past years as well!

Altered Gift Bag with Masterfully Made DSP

Leave a reply

It just so happened that I needed a larger gift bag and couldn’t find one in my stash of bags in the closet. They are mostly Christmas bags. Luckily, I found this gift bag from a fabulous bakery, but of course, it has the bakery’s name on the front of the bag and the back. I decided to use the bag but decorate over the bakery name and this Altered Gift Bag with Masterfully Made DSP is what came of that project!

The colors on the bag were already interesting. When I started comparing our Stampin’ Up! cardstock, the colors on the bag came very close to Berry Burst and even pretty close to Coastal Cabana. And this bag is at least several years old so they were ahead of the Stampin’ Up! trend!

I played around with some different ideas and originally thought about using the Cheerful Daisies one way or another, but I ended up using the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper which is extremely colorful but seemed to go along with this bag. I cut a wide enough strip of this roses pattern to cover the bakery name and take up some space on the front. The paper is still 12″ wide so you can get an idea of how much wider the shopping bag is. Then I added narrow strips of the green torn paper pattern in the Masterfully Made DSP to the top and bottom of the strip. I had a few scraps of the rose paper so I cut out the roses as best I could out of the scraps using my Paper Snips and decided to place them on the bag as if they are cascading down.

This isn’t my favorite bag I have ever decorated, but I think it turned out okay and I decided to not get too perfectionistic about it because who knows what will happen to a gift bag after the gift is opened. I really love to decorate and personalize shopping bags I get at certain stores, usually requiring the business name to be covered up, which is pretty simple. This bag being larger and having these two colors on it made it a little more challenging. You can even purchase place kraft or white shopping bags at craft stores or online to have some handy for when you want to make your own creation to go with the gift and occasion.

The back side of the bag also had the bakery name so I just chose a piece of the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to cover the name. It also has the Berry Burst color in it. Here is a photo of the back of the bag.

At least I have a large enough gift bag to use and decorated with some interesting designer paper! I usually save those handled bags when I get them because I know I can turn them into a gift bag and not have to run to the store at the last minute. Here is one example from a few years ago of a bag I turned into a Christmas gift bag.

Look through your bags and see if you have something you can alter and make into a nice gift bag! It’s really a fun project and oh so handy! You will be glad you did!
