Halloween Treat Boxes

It's been a LONG TIME since have stamped!! I wish I had 4 of me so I could have one working on my paper crafts, one working on my quilts, one doing housework, and the other spending good quality time with all the people in my life... oh yeah, and another one to go out and work!!! So make that 5! Anyway, here are a couple of treat boxes I made with a Bigz die that I bought...

The eyes on this one were sprinkled with Glow In The Dark glitter by Martha Stewart! I tried to take a picture in the dark but it didn't turn out... bummer! But they really do glow in the dark!!! Very cool stuff!The skull is also sprinkled with Glow In The Dark glitter by Martha Stewart... The stamp I used on this one came from Gina K Designs

I love these gummy eyeballs!! They are so fun! I happened to find them in a little candy shop about a week ago...

Pirate booty bag

I finally got the little gift bag die from SU. With this one I took black CS and mounted this Bo Bunny Halloween paper on the top. The skull die is two-step die and emboss set from Cuttlebug.

The tag saying is 'one for all and all for me!" The little coins are from a pirate sticker set from Sandylion. Other items used: spider treat bags from $1 bin at Target, Stamp by Stampendous--Changito Treato set, bones and skulls candy, SU Black and Creamy Caramel Ink, Gold Encore pad, stitched black ribbon

Shaggy Frankie!

Here's my take on Frankie boy for Halloween. He has a shag doo! These are fun to make. I wrapped a box of Gobstoppers with Wild Wasabi. I thought he turned out kinda cute! Funny thing..... the gobstoppers are coming out of the side of his head... like he is losing his marbles!! LOL

Heres what I used: Wild Wasabi, W White, B Black, Lovely Lilac CS, stickles, copic pen, Wild Wasabi Ink, white gel pen, Cuttlebug circle dies.

Paper Pieced Halloween

There's no stamping on this one!
This was a little different for me... I found these images online, and instead of purchasing I copied the idea and hand drew the pieces. What do ya think?? I thought it turned out pretty good for my first try at drawing!

I found this cute little Halloween poem a few years back and stumbled upon it while I was cleaning. I just had to use it on a card, and this was perfect.






Here's the recipe:

• SU Pumpkin, Yellow, White and Black CS
• Bazzill Lime Green
• Sizzix textured paper
• Doodlebug bkgd paper
• Black Sharpie and White Gel pen
• Quickutz Candy Corn die
• Making Memories Black Bats brads
• SU dimensionals
  

I have to say......

... that I absolutely loved reading all about your halloween costumes! The most entertaining ones that are stuck in my mind are the One Night Stand, and the Lost Puppy! If you haven't read these, take a peek at the comments for the blog candy. They are a hoot! Thank you to all of you who played in the Halloween Candy drawing!

If The Shoe Fits!

I started digging through my craft stash and stumbled over my Lasting Impressions Halloween brass templates. I have collected so many of them over the years. Sometimes its hard to choose which ones I want to use! I love these witchy feet! They are super cute! I used a combo of SU papers and LI papers, some stickles and brads. I didn't dry emboss the shoes. The stockings were dry embossed and then I put the stickles over the top. The saying is dry embossed and sponged with Green Galore ink. I can't imagine sending this out to someone unless they had a really good sense of humor! LOL It's cute though.

The witchy recipe:

• SU Eggplant, B Black, LI grape, Apple green, pumpkin CS
• SU green galore ink
• sponge
• LI Brads
• Stickles
• Lasting impressions templates (2)
• Lasting Impressions scuffers (sand paper)
• light box and stylus
• Cuttlebug embossing folders

Here is a basket of goodies I have up for grabs. Some of these are items I have made, the stamps in the bottom row are the new Michael's $1 stamps.. Also included are candy corn shaped playing cards (not shown--down in basket :( ), alpha stamps, and the frankie notepad. The candies in the wrapped box are Milk Duds....

Halloween Candy Box

This little box was quick and easy to make. You can find the directions HERE. These would be great to make for party favors... or something for the kids at school... They look difficult to make but are fairly simple.

The recipe:

• Acetate sheets
• DCWV Halloween cardstock
• SU Pumpkin and W White CS
• Booglie Eyes set
• Stickles
• SU markers
• SU Black ink
• Tacky Tape (red tape), or Pioneer tape work good for adhering the acetate together
• Ribbon
• Peanut M & M's

Halloween candy pots

I just thought I'd share these little guys. I made these a couple years ago. I'm not much of a painter, but these are really fun to make. I used 4 inch clay pots. They were glued together using E6000. Also included are spoon sticks, spools, tear drop shapes, wigglie eyes. Frankie is a little scraped up from being used so much! On the mummy, I used torn strips of muslin. Muslin is hard to wrap to shape the pot so you have to twist and glue, twist and glue--very challenging! The strips are sponged with SU Close to Cocoa ink. I suppose I could have done more with the face--oh well.

Ghoul's Night Out!

Oh boy, I had fun with this one! The best part of this project was breaking out the chocolate!! I filled this one with Hershey's Miniatures, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The ghost is a covered Tootsie Roll pop. It always seems like I have almost every candy to give out around Halloween. We get so many trick-or-treaters that I have to buy TONS of candy... This is a good thing! That means I have a reason to make more Halloween goodies! :) I absolutely love how this one turned out. It's not at all what I had imagined when I first started...

The black band around the middle is crimped...you can't see it very well with the photo...

The Ghoulish recipe:

• SU Pumpkin and B Black, W White CS
• SU Pumpkin and B Black inks
• coffee filter
• Ghouls night out sticker from Walmart
• SU Batty For You wheel, and Booglie Eyes, and retired Fun Faces stamp sets
• SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter
• Crimper
• Martha Stewart ribbon, SU Gingham, and sparkly ribbon(from a share with Jody Morrow--can't remember the name of the maker)
• Making Memories bat brads

The Witch Is In!

I worked on on this little refrigerator notepad today. I found these images in the Michael's $1 bin. They have cute halloween and fall stamps! I'm feelin' some blog candy coming on! This little fridge pad has magnets on the back.
The length of the pad is 8.5 inches.

The witchy recipe:

• Michaels $1 stamps
• sizzix tag cuts
• SU Green Galore, B Black, W White CS
• SU B Black ink
• KI Memories ribbon and unknown ribbon
• SU markers

Halloween Popcorn Bags

Ok, first of all I have to confess.... I NEVER make things for Halloween!! I have purchased and purchased, but with me being in college for the past 4 years, my crafts have taken a back seat. And my mind is going crazy with all sorts of ideas for Halloween. So hang on because I have quite a few ideas I have to put to paper!! In the meantime, here are these cool little treats.....

These are fun to give out this time of year! This microwave popcorn pack is regular sized. Around Halloween there are the mini size popcorn packs for sale. This size shown takes 1/2 sheet of cardstock.

Treat Pouches

Here are some really cute treat pouches. This is the same as the pencil pouch pattern only shorter. I used 1/4 sheet cardstock. If you score them at 1 7/8 and 1 7/8 you get a 1/2 inch left over. The half inch is used for the fold over closure. The bottom is also sealed with craft tape. The ends are crimped. The hole at the top was made using a circle punch, only cutting out 1/2 circle. I stuffed Extra gum into these ones. I'm sure you could put large tootsie rolls, pixie sticks, licorice, or anything of the like in them. They are quick and easy to make!

The recipe:

• Lime and Pink Bazzill CS
• SU W White and B Black CS
• SU Halloween backgrounds, Booglie Eyes, and Batty For You sets
• Memory Makers double circle punch
• SU Small and Large Tag Punches
• Crimper
• Wiggle eyes
• May Arts sheer dot and SU gingham ribbon
• Martha Stewart green and white cord

Halloween note pad

This little note pad was super easy to make. The note pad came in a 2-pack from Target. I purchased a TON of these little guys a long time ago and I'm just now decorating them! I never had the time to do it. I thought it would be fun to decorate one for Halloween.

The recipe:

• Black bound note pad from Target
• Bo Bunny bkgd paper
• SU W White, B Black CS
• SU O Orange refill and aqua painter dipped in blender refill
• Ribbon from Martha Stewart
• Making Memories Bat Brads
• SU Booglie Eyes Set

After folding and gluing the bkgd paper, I put a piece of B Black CS (fit to size) just on the inside cover over the seams. I love the fact that the word MUMMY pops out at you! That wasn't even planned!

Covered Candy Boxes

Here are some fun Halloween covered candy boxes I made. These are boxes of Reeses Pieces, Milk Duds, and Runts candies. The one on the left side is one I made a month or so ago. The other two I finished up last night. The recipes are below!

Girlie Halloween Treats

So the "in" things these days are pirates and skulls. I found these cute girlie Halloween skull gems in the $1 bin of Joann's, along with a skull stamp! I have been wanting to make some of these pillow boxes. They are so much fun to give away. The adhesive I use to get a good seal on the side of the box is Pioneer tape. I'm sure that the red tape will work, but Pioneer tape is more of a clear color. I have never had any problems with it. Its the best!

Here's the recipe:

• SU Pixie Pink and Basic Black CS
• Skull gems and stamp from Joann's $1 bin
• SU All Around Argyle, Batty For You, Print Pattern bkgd sets
• SU B Black, Craft White, Pretty in Pink, and Versamark
• SU Silver cord
• MM tag maker supplies and rims
• SU brads
• unknown gems
• Coluzzle pillow box template
• Pioneer tape
