Halloween treat boxes and cards, oh my!

This pillow box door hanger was so easy to do. Click here to download the template. I simply printed the template onto my cardstock and cut it out then embellished with the tear kitty die/stamp set. This is such a fun way to leave a surprise treat for someone on any occasion!




For this project, I used a french fry box template and double sided Halloween paper (Basic Grey Eerie) embellished with the sweet little candy monsters (minus arms and legs - they aren't going anywhere! LOL) You can use the pattern in the link provided or do like I did and ask for an empty french fry box and take it apart.


I love making Halloween projects and cards in case you couldn't tell! For this one, I used the loopy edger with the image of the Mad Hatter from the Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland collection. Love these papers. I've embellished using stickles.

On the inside message I've used the witches brew cauldron and frog for my "go mad on Halloween" sentiment, adding stickles for the brew bubbles.

For this card, I wanted to do something a little different. I heat embossed my cardstock with clear embossing powder before cutting the chandelier.....

...and added silver stickles to the spider webs and bat eyes.
To make the chain, I used jump rings "hanging" the chandelier from the brad.

For the inside message I've used the cutest little bat and ghost on foam tape (gotta have foam tape on everything!), and ornate border rubon from my stash. The font is a freebie. You can snag it here.

What's brewin'?

The weekend is nearly here...which means there are only two weeks left till Halloween. Are you ready? Do you party, decorate and dress up? I've put up a few decorations but still need to decorate my pumpkins. This week I'm sharing a few Halloween party ideas with you.


I love the bubbly cauldron with the frog, bones and eyeball and used it on this fun door hanger. This would make a cute party invitation with all the essential info printed on the back.








The border punch is Martha Stewart, drippy goo.


Li'l Frankie adorns this party favor treat bag. The treat bag is so easy to make.
I printed a poem on a tag and tied it to the back of my treat bag with the ribbon.


Treat Bag
Instructions:
You'll need mini cellophane bags and cardstock. From one sheet of 12x12 cardstock you can make 4 treat bags. For each treat bag, cut cardstock 9 1/2 inches long by 3 inches wide.
Make the first score mark at one inch. Measure 3 1/2 inches from the score mark and score again, measure 3/4 inch and score again, another 3/4 inch and score again. You'll have four score marks total.

I have a Scor It board, but in case you don't, you can easily use your paper trimmer and stylus as shown here, to make your score lines. Don't have a stylus either? Use a bone folder or the dull pointed cap end of a pen.
Fold as shown here

Fill cellophane or mini zip bags with candy corn or other small candies, and fold the top over. Place the candy bag in the folded treat bag with the folded top of the candy bag inside the treat bag. Punch two holes through all layers and tie with ribbon.
Embellish as you wish and secure with ribbon.
Li'l Mummy would make cute name tags for a classroom party or place cards for the table.


I hope you've enjoyed my projects and maybe you'll try making the treat bag. It takes literally only minutes to make one. Have a great weekend. :)
