Paper Pumpkin Sept 2019 Kit Halloween Treat Boxes

I had so much fun making up this Paper Pumpkin September 2019 Kit with Halloween Treat Boxes yesterday while watching the Houston Texans lose another football game that they didn’t need to lose. It was good I had a distraction! I really enjoyed making this kit and not just because it was a Halloween theme!

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly papercrafting kit made by Stampin’ Up! that comes to you in the mail when you subscribe. You may think you do not want to be committed to a “subscription” but there really is no pressure or risk to a Paper Pumpkin subscription. You can go into your account at any time before the 10th of any month and “skip” a month or two if you like. If you want to cancel, just cancel. I consider it a gift to myself each month to receive this special box in my mailbox!

The presentation of the kit is wonderful, too! They don’t just throw all the materials in the box. All the materials are packaged up and wrapped in tissue paper just like a gift. There is also an exclusive stamp set and small ink spot. I think one of my favorite parts about the Paper Pumpkin Kit is opening it up and laying out all the materials provided in the kit! I love to see all the pieces I have been given!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2019 Kit Contents

In this September Kit you can see the pamphlet with directions (there is also a helpful video online for each kit), the stamp set, the treat boxes, the various tags, the embellishments for the boxes, the bag of little black clothespins, the adhesive dots and even some black mini dimensionals to pop up some of the pieces.

I didn’t close up all my boxes yet, just some to see what they would look like and to show you in this blog post. I don’t want to have to undo all of them when I actually put candy or treats inside closer to Halloween! I got 20 boxes to make in this kit. I made 16 and am deciding if I want to make some alternative projects instead of all the boxes! Obviously it is your kit so you can use the materials however you like in any month! Sometimes I do half and half….make half as designed and make some other projects that I see online for something different!

Paper Pumpkin Halloween Treat Boxes

Here is a closeup of some of the boxes so you can see the decorated Halloween tags that are then clipped onto the handle of the box with a small black clothespin! The skeleton hand is adhered to the front of the clothespin with the glue dots. Such a cute project! Maybe you can see the clothespin clipped to the top of the box in this side view below.

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2019 Halloween Treat Box Closure

If you are interested in trying Paper Pumpkin, it is just the right time because the next two month’s kits will coordinate for the holidays! The October 2019 Kit will be 10 cards and the November Kit will be 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs. Sounds like fun to me! I can guarantee you will be glad to have 10 extra cards, even if you are making some on your own, just in case! I know I always have a few more people I want to send cards to. And we all will need gift tags!

Paper Pumpkin Winter Wonders 2019

The cost of each monthly kit is $22 plus tax but that includes shipping. In your first kit, you will receive an acrylic block made for Paper Pumpkin with which to mount the stamps. In all the kits you will receive an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, adhesives, and all the materials to make the project, whatever it is! No need to design something yourself or order supplies you don’t have……it’s all in the box! Just open and craft! And of course, you will have the stamp set and ink spot to use in the future. In fact, the ink spots are great to use with the Stamparatus!

October is coming up tomorrow and the important date to remember is October 10th! And then November 10th, if you don’t subscribe in October! But I suggest subscribing by October 10th so you receive both kits and will be ready for Christmas! Do it today so you don’t forget!

Monster Bash Halloween Clear Tiny Treat Box

Monster Bash Halloween Clear Tiny Treat Box

Make this Monster Bash Halloween Clear Tiny Treat Box so quickly and easily for all your Halloween ghosts and goblins! It’s practically October and you know that means it’s time to think about fun Halloween treat packaging!

This treat might be something more for family, friends, co-workers or other people, more than random trick-or-treaters since you will be using the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes. I always keep a package of these on hand for small treats or gifts. They are so easy to use and so versatile, not to mention they store flat. Just take off the bit of plastic wrap on them that protects the surface and crease the scored lines to form the treat box.

For this Halloween treat, I simply wrapped a strip, about 1 3/4″ wide, of the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper around the box. It will be longer than you need but just wrap around the box, creasing fairly lightly at each corner. Then take the paper off, trim the end to overlap the front edge just a little bit (since the decoration is going to hide where the paper overlaps) and use a Bone Folder to crease those score lines you created, keeping them straight along the edge of the strip of paper. Now put the paper back around the box and use a little adhesive to join the overlapping ends.

For this box, I wanted to just keep it super simple. I just cut out one of the Halloween character images from the Monster Bash paper with my Paper Snips and adhered him to the front of the box with two Stampin’ Dimensionals. I could have die cut a layer, maybe one of the Ornate Frames, to mount him on, but I was making it quick and easy!

After putting my candy inside (you could add some paper shred if you didn’t want so much room for candy!), I tied a Basic Black Satin Ribbon around the top to make sure the lid stays closed. The recipient can easily untie the bow to get to the candy!

Here’s another example in this post of a Halloween treat box from last year using the Clear Tiny Treat Box.

Another option would be to wrap the designer paper around the box across the top and decorate the top of the box, then wrap the ribbon around the sides of the box. Or just put some decoration on top of the box.

These would be cute party favors at a Halloween party and easy to make! The boxes are clear acetate and food safe so you don’t have to worry! And with the cute Monster Bash Designer Series Paper, you have no limit on decorating options for your treats! Try the Monster Bash Halloween Clear Tiny Treat Box for some Halloween fun!

Monster Bash Spooktacular Bash Halloween Card

Monster Bash Spooktacular Bash Halloween Card

It’s the Monster Bash Spooktacular Bash Halloween Card for ghouls and goblins! Halloween is so much fun for making cards, treats, and other projects! I especially love the fun, whimsical Halloween things and this card has them! What a cute sentiment to send someone with these two ghouls on this card!

This card starts with a card base of Basic Black Cardstock with a layer of a generic design on the backside of a Halloween paper for the card layer. This paper is the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper which is full of fun Halloween characters and themes. You can cut out many of the images and use them on your projects rather than just using the full paper. For this card, I chose two of the “ghouls” and then layered them on the Ornate Frames Dies.

Although these Ornate Frames Dies are in the Holiday Catalog, in the Halloween suite, these are great frames to use on many types of cards, not just Halloween! I hope Stampin’ Up! will keep them around past the Holiday Catalog! You can layer them under many things.

The sentiment is stamped with the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set. Talk about a cute Halloween stamp set with these fun monsters and cute greetings to use on your Halloween cards and projects! You can actually purchase the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set and the Ornate Frames Dies in a Bundle together and save 10%!

And for a little extra pizzazz, get the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes and use them on your projects! These are adhesive-backed enamel tombstones, skulls, crows, and dots. On this card, I used two of the dots on the greeting piece. Just imagine the fun things you can do with the other shapes!

Here is how I used the designer paper for just a decorative strip on the side of a different card and then the Ornate Frames and monster from the DSP. If you like Halloween, you will have all kinds of fun with this Monster Bash Suite in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog!

A Happy Snowman Christmas Card

Leave a reply

Why is this snowman so happy and excited? It’s because the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog is LIVE today! If you like snowmen, soon you will be making a card like this Happy Snowman Christmas Card with the Snowman Season Stamp Set and the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper!

You will find this darling snowman stamp set and really fun designer paper in the Holiday Catalog plus the teeny tiny snowflakes in the Snowflake Sequins package. They are really for the Snow Globe Shaker Domes, but I couldn’t resist using a few with my Happy Snowman Christmas Card! I used the teeny tiniest dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and used the Take Your Pick Tool to place the sequins. They are really tiny!

The card base is Real Red (which I am super happy to be using with these cards and the Let It Snow Paper) and has a layer of this red pattern of Let It Snow Designer Series Paper. I hate to tell you that on the other side are glimmery snowmen that I hated to cut through and put glue on!!! Oh my!! But it had to be done if I wanted to use this red paper with white snowflakes. Of course, you could use this pattern at any time because the white dots don’t have to be snowflakes! Just to help this red stand out, I put a layer of Whisper White underneath it. Now if you don’t tell anybody, you can die cut the circle that the snowman is stamped on out of the Whisper White before you assemble the card. No one will ever see it or know!

After I die cut that circle out of the Whisper White layer, I stamped a snowman from the Snowman Season Stamp Set on it in Memento Ink. Then I could add just a tiny bit of icy shadows on the snowman and snow with my Stampin’ Blends and lightly color in the winter sky. This circle is layered on a Real Red larger circle, die-cut with the Layering Circle Dies and that is layered on a scalloped circle from the same set out of Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

The greeting is in the snowman set and stamped in Real Red Ink. I also layered this on a piece of the Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Just for fun, I added three tiny snowflake sequins to the greeting, too.

That’s it. Pretty easy card to make once you have the idea and the Sparkle Glimmer Paper adds a little pizzazz! The inside of the card has another one of the greetings stamped in red, plus “Merry Christmas” as well as some snowflakes stamped at the top, all on a layer of Whisper White since the red card base would be a little difficult on which to stamp a sentiment or write a note. It’s easy to decorate a layer inside your card with some stamping or a piece or strip of designer paper! And don’t forget the outside of the envelope!

Just as this snowman is excited, I’m sure you are excited to start shopping with the Holiday Catalog! You can combine your Holiday Catalog order with the Designer Series Paper Sale! And don’t forget about the Clearance Rack if you want to pick up some bargains!

Coffin Treat Box With Monster Mash

Leave a reply
Coffin Treat Box Monster Mash Embellishment

This Coffin Treat Box with the Monster Mash Suite is sure to be a hit if you choose these boxes for Halloween treats! I think they are going to be a hit product in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog! I’ve already seen Demonstrators use all the Coffin Treat Boxes to make a wreath! How do these people think of these things??!

The Coffin Treat Boxes come 12 boxes and 12 lids in a package and are food safe so you can feel comfortable putting candy or a treat inside. They come flat, but already die cut and scored so all you have to do is add adhesive and assemble. Then the fun begins!

Coffin Treat Box Pieces

Once you fold and crease the score lines, you will easily see how the box will go together. This is how I added Tear & Tape Adhesive to the flaps, some pretty small!

Coffin Treat Box Assembled Open
Coffin Treat Box Closed Lid

Once the box is assembled, you can go crazy decorating it for Halloween! There are so many ideas with the Monster Mash Suite products! I think the Monster Mash Designer Series Paper and the Ornate Frames Dies are a must! The Ornate Frames Dies can be used for lots of occasions, not just Halloween.

To decorate my Coffin Treat Box, I stamped the mummy from the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set on Whisper White and used some Stampin’ Blends just for a little color. The mummy is then layered on one of the Ornate Frames in Gorgeous Grape Cardstock. I LOVE this die! It is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The little Halloween greeting is stamped in Memento Black Ink on Granny Apple Green Cardstock and then die cut with another one of the Ornate Frames Dies. It is just glued on to the coffin treat box lid. To finish it off, I tied a piece of Basic Black 3/8″ Scalloped Edge Ribbon around the coffin by sliding it under the popped up mummy piece.

It was so fun to make a decorate this Coffin Treat Box with Monster Mash products so I know you will also want these Coffin Treat Boxes to make your own creations for Halloween treats!

Monster Bash Halloween Card

Monster Bash Halloween Card

A Monster Bash Halloween Card for my first Halloween card of the holiday crafting season! The Monster Bash Suite in the upcoming Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up! will get your creative juices flowing if you are into Halloween! And I am!!

It doesn’t take long to come up with a multitude of ideas for cards and projects using the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper. There are so many things you can do with this paper! Use a piece of the paper as-is for a layer on a card or cut out some of the images and use those on cards and projects. Of course with Halloween, we always think about treat boxes and you can have lots of fun making those for kids or parties with products in this suite!

To make this card I started with a card base of Basic Black with a layer of Crushed Curry. I thought it looked too plain so I used the Subtle Embossing Folder to just give the Crushed Curry Cardstock a little texture. Then there is the strip of Monster Bash Designer Series Paper.

Here is the secret of the bit of ribbon along the edge of the designer paper! It is the Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon, but I cut it in half lengthwise so I could use just that one side of the scallop for a bit of color along the designer paper!

The greeting is stamped from the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set in Memento Ink and die cut with a shape from the Ornate Frames Dies. I also die cut one of the frames in Basic Black to frame the greeting. These dies are great because they are not just for Halloween! Even if you aren’t a fan of Halloween, these frames would be fun to have for die-cutting on non-Halloween projects!

For a little extra, I stamped the jars in the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. Then I just cut them out with Paper Snips and adhered them to the bottom of the card.

It won’t be long now! Just a couple weeks until you can begin ordering from the Holiday Catalog on September 4th! I am warning you now, your Wish List will be a difficult one because you will want almost everything in the catalog! And you know how seeing samples goes…..once you see something cute, then you will want to make that and will have to order that product(s)! You won’t be able to help yourself!

If you like Halloween, you may want to start with the Halloween stamping products like the Monster Bash Suite so you can make a fun card like my Monster Bash Halloween Card!

Halloween Cards and Projects Collage 2018

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Today is the big day, especially if you have young children! I remember all those class parties and costumes, the carnival down the street with the Sesame Street puppet booth that gave out cookies and candy to the little ones, the duck pond, the cake walk, my husband taking the kids out trick-or-treating while I stayed home and gave out candy, our first Halloween here 36 years ago when my husband carried our tiny baby daughter to the little carnival down the street at the urging of a friend who came by, and even a Halloween thirty years ago when my newborn baby boy and I were in the hospital, alone, because everyone everywhere was out trick-or-treating. The night before when we’d gone to the hospital I told the nurse the last food I ate was cupcake batter and frosting because I was making cupcakes to take down to the carnival!  His birthday parties always had a Halloween theme with an October 30th birthday!

Lots of good memories of Halloween, even when I was a child, except for those Halloweens in St. Louis where it could be cold on Halloween night and we might have to wear a winter coat over or under our costume! Imagine! We were expected to tell a joke at each house where we went trick-or-treating before we got a treat!

I made this collage with a lot of the Halloween projects I made since the Holiday Catalog came out! If you are looking for last minute Halloween ideas for cards or favors or whatever, check the Categories drop-down box and click on Halloween to find even older ideas from years past!

Whether you are going to a Halloween party, trick-or-treating, helping with the school party, or stamping at home with the porch light turned off, have a safe and fun Halloween!

Paper Pumpkin Halloween Treat Bags

Here is a photo of my Paper Pumpkin Halloween treat bags all filled with candy and ready for some trick-or-treaters!  know I showed you these bag toppers I made with my September Paper Pumpkin Kit, but since I didn’t have Halloween candy at the time, I had to wait to post a photo of the completed treat bags.

I’ve been posting some of the extra Halloween cards I made with the stamps and leftover pieces I had in this papercrafting kit. But this is the original project that the kit was designed to make.  If you didn’t need any Halloween treats, you could have used all the pieces to make Halloween cards or some other project or scrapbook page. That’s why Paper Pumpkin Kits are so much fun! Make the project as designed, no muss no fuss, or play with the contents yourself and devise your own projects! It’s a win either way! Crafting time in a box!!

The cute little printed cello bags even came with a little piece of cardboard to put in the bottom so they could stand up!  I stamped the greeting onto the foldover banners on each back and adhered the ghost, bat, and pumpkin to the top as well as the self-adhesive words and tied on a little baker’s twine.

If you don’t want to miss out on the Paper Pumpkin fun, be sure to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin today (or by November 10th) in order to receive the cute plaid box with a holiday project inside!

Easy Halloween Trick or Tweet Candy Treats

Easy Halloween Trick or Tweet Candy Treats

If you need a last minute quick and easy treat or favor, try these Easy Halloween Trick or Tweet Candy Treats.  When I got out my Halloween decorations, I found a very old version of this candy treat! Here it is updated with the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set!  I’m going to miss these little guys when Halloween is over!  They were so much fun to stamp and color!

You won’t believe how easy these treats are to make! Just cut a strip of cardstock 1 3/4″ x 5 1/2″.  Score at 2 1/4″ and 3 1/4″.  Fold on the score lines. Stamp and color whatever images you like for the front and punch or cut out in a square or circle shape.  I used the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch for these. If you wanted to be fancier you could put a layer behind the image and even a very small greeting. Punch two holes and thread some ribbon through and tie in a knot.  I used the Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Double-Stitched Ribbon.

For coloring the images, use whatever you like!  I LOVE the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers, but I also like the Watercolor Pencils.  If you wanted to save time, you could just stamp the image in a color and not color in at all!  It could even be monochromatic if it matched the cardstock color!

If you are making these for cute little party favors, then maybe you want to fancy them up a bit…..or make them larger for larger pieces of candy.  Just to give to Trick-or-Treaters, just keep them simple!  Put some adhesive in that center space and adhere some candy.  I think nuggets would work well or two of these miniature candy bars! Be careful that the adhesive isn’t touching the part of the candy you would eat. It wouldn’t hurt for the candy to hang out on the sides either!

Easy Halloween Candy Treats

If you are working at the last minute on Halloween treats or projects, this one just might save you! These are fun to make and only take a minute or two!

Happy Halloween!

 

 

 

Black Cat Halloween Cards

Leave a reply

Black Cat Halloween Cards

These black cats may be spooky for Halloween, but on these Black Cat Halloween Cards, they are just fun! One is even wearing a witch’s hat!  To make these cards I used the stamp set in my September Paper Pumpkin Kit (I need to remember to use these stamp sets more often!).

I stamped the background  on the Whisper White Card Layer with various stamps from Paper Pumpkin just randomly around the card.  I think these words have such cute fonts!

I had a few of the self-adhesive words left over from the Halloween treat bag project so I happily used those on these cards.  You will see the Silver Foil “Boo” on the black cat on the left and the word “Eeeek”  underneath the cat, on the other card.  The Cat Punch is always fun to use, especially at Halloween!  The witch hat is just cut by hand out of the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper.  I provided a little background for each cat to help him stand out!

That’s all there is to these two easy cards make with some leftover pieces from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Have some fun this weekend making something for Halloween!

Spooky Ghosts Halloween Card

Leave a reply

Spooky Ghosts Halloween Card

Sometimes you have to just stop the world and stamp Halloween cards like this Spooky Ghosts Halloween Card!  Especially if you are planning to mail some of the cards and you want them to get there before Halloween!  That’s what I did the other day!  I just used up some of the leftover pieces in my September 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit, used the stamp set from the kit, and used some of my Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper.

This card has a card base of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock.  On a layer of Whisper White, I cut a strip of the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper with the cute little ghosts and stamped the word “Spooky” down the other side of the card.  The stamp comes from the exclusive stamp set included in every Paper Pumpkin Kit. I loved the font! I often forget to use the stamp sets that came in my Paper Pumpkin Kits!

For fun, I placed three other ghosts along the side!  As in this post, I told you how I like to make ghosts out of heart shapes cut in half!

In order to stamp the word “Spooky” so evenly, I used my Stamparatus!  It’s perfect for this, especially the unique Stampin’ Up! feature of moving the plate with the stamp down a hinge each time! It’s great! And if any of the images didn’t stamp fully, I could have reinked the stamp still on the Stamparatus, not moved the card, and then stamped again right over the first image.

If you don’t already own a Stamparatus, I strongly urge you to put one on your next order, in time for making Christmas cards! It will be so great when you are stamping multiples!

It’s time to get those Halloween cards and treats made this weekend! Have fun working on such enjoyable projects!

Paper Pumpkin Frights & Delights Extra Cards

Leave a reply

Paper Pumpkin Frights & Delights Extra CardsAfter I made all the treat bags in my Paper Pumpkin Kit, I had just a few pieces left in the kit so I made these Paper Pumpkin Frights & Delights extra cards! It came with these really cute bats, pumpkins, and ghosts for the treat bag toppers and there was one of each left over plus some sticky words!

Here’s the Stampin’ Up! video that shows the Paper Pumpkin September Kit:

I made all the bag toppers when I got my kit but I wasn’t ready to fill them with candy yet, so I didn’t have them ready to be photographed!  The little cello bags are so cute, printed with little Halloween images on them.

I saw the idea for the stamped background on these cards online somewhere (there are always alternative ideas for using your Paper Pumpkin Kit online if you don’t want to make the project exactly as designed).  These stamps were in the exclusive stamp set that came in the Frights & Delights Kit for September.  Sometimes I forget to use these stamp sets that come in Paper Pumpkin except for when I am making the project in the box, but it’s really a great way to pick up some extra stamps! (Since we all need to constantly add to our collection!!)

The Whisper White card layer has the random stamping and then I added a layered banner, just cut by hand.  I stamped the greeting at the bottom of the banner and adhered the pumpkin, bat, and ghost with Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up a bit. The two “Spooky” words came in the kit and were self-adhesive which was great!  The “Boo” on the bat card is actually silver foil so it doesn’t photograph well.

WIth some of my own cardstock and a few leftover pieces from the September Paper Pumpkin Kit, I was able to make a few extra Halloween cards that turned out pretty cute!  The stamp set that came in the kit was great to use!

You can see how cute this Halloween kit was so you might want to try out the November Kit in this pretty plaid holiday box!  It will ship out mid-November but you have to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin by November 10th. The cost is $19.95 but that includes the shipping. You can skip a month if you ever want to or even cancel if it’s not the right thing for you.

Toil & Trouble Decorated Halloween Candle and Card

Leave a reply

Toil & Trouble Decorated Halloween Candle and CardHere is a matching Toil & Trouble Decorated Halloween Candle and Card just to show how you can use a card idea for a 3D project and vice versa!  If you kind of think of any project as just a small or large card, you can get ideas for almost anything!

I started with the candle.  You could use a real candle or for safety, one of the flameless candles.  I wrapped a piece of the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper around the candle. It’s about 3″ wide for this particular candle. I cut out a large circle of Crushed Curry Cardstock for a background (or moon!).  I also hand-cut a witch and some pumpkins from the designer paper to add to the candle.  The greeting is from the cute Trick or Tweet Stamp Set.  I sponged the Whisper White paper a little bit with Pumpkin Pie ink just to take off the brightness of the white.

Next, just to show how you can use the same design on a card, I really just duplicated the same thing onto a card!  I think the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper is so cute this year for Halloween!

Here is a similar Halloween card I made way back in August with the Toil & Trouble Paper and a witch!

I can’t believe how Halloween is sneaking up on us so fast this year, but I guess that is the way it always happens!  Have you made some Halloween cards and treats?  Time is getting short, but you do still have an opportunity to have fun making some Halloween projects!
