Halloween

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for October where we are celebrating an early Fall season by sharing Halloween and Autumn projects using our wonderful Stampin’ Up! supplies.  We hope you enjoy our creations!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Dawn Tidd at Tiddbits from Dawn, number 7 on the Pals Hop.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

Did you know Stampin’ Up! has a gift box for Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins?  My kid’s favorite treat to receive for any holiday is Reese’s Peanut Butter ________!  You know…Hearts, Eggs, Pumpkins, Christmas Trees etc.  Does Reese’s make a Peanut Butter Turkey?  They would like that too.  Anyway, I make these boxes for every holiday that Reese’s and my kids celebrate together 🙂  Here’s a few of my Halloween boxes.

You’re probably wondering about the cute witch hat on the pumpkin in the middle?  That hat was designed by Janet Baker and it is adorable! The box size is 1.75 x 1.75 x 3.25.  You need an 8 x 8 piece of cardstock and Gift Box Punch Board.

You can put either one or two pumpkins in each box.

So which box is your favorite?  The spider, the polka dot pumpkin or the pumpkin with the witch hat?  I’d love to hear your comments or questions.

Yep, my favorite is the pumpkin with the witch hat!  Please click on the pictures at the bottom of this post to order. Please use Host Code P67Y63UQ and you will receive 5 Spider Web Doilies from me for every $50 order.  For a $100 order you’ll receive the 5 Spider Web Doilies and also the punched pieces to make 5 witches hats (assorted colors).  While my supply lasts.  The Spider Web Doilies are on backorder at Stampin’ Up!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for September.  This month we are showing off our favorite new products from the new Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.  We hope you enjoy our projects!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Pamela Sadler at Stampin Pink Rose, number 21 on the Pals Hop.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

I used the Berry Basket Bigz L to make a fun Halloween treat basket.  The Berry Basket is in the annual catalog, but everything I used to decorate it, is from the new 2015 Holiday Catalog. The bat from the Cheer All Year set is awesome!  I wish we had a punch for him, but he was pretty easy to cut out free hand.

I love how the Happy Haunting DSP and Happy Haunting Washi Tape coordinate so well.

It’s time to start making Halloween treat baskets!  I value your comments.  Please leave me a comment at the top of this post.

All you need is a 6″ x 6″ piece of cardstock, Envelope punch board, Paper trimmer, adhesive, candy to fill the box. 🙂

Here’s the directions:

1.You need to cut a piece of cardstock or Designer Series Paper (DSP) 6″ x 6″.

2. Using the Envelope punch board, line up the left edge of the paper at 1 1/4″ and punch and score down the diagonal line to the right.  Move the paper to the left and line it up at 2 3/4″, punch and score the same as before.  Turn the paper the opposite side and do exactly what you did on the top of the paper.  I have drawn in the score lines and your paper should look just like the picture above except you have score lines where I have drawn lines.

3. Now turn the paper to the sides you haven’t done anything with yet.  Line up your previous score lines with the “Score Guide.”  It’s the pointy piece coming off the punch in the top center.  Punch and score.  Move to second score line, punch and score again.  Follow step 3 again on the opposite side.

4.Use the Reverse Punch at the top center of the board.  This will corner round your two pointy pieces on the top and bottom.  See picture above.

5. Cut down the score lines on both sides on top and bottom to make the tabs.

6. Use a trimmer and line up the top and bottom point at 2 3/4″  and cut a triangle shape off each side.  See picture above.

7. Use sticky strip or Tear & Tape Adhesive along one side of box.  I used sticky strip so it would show up well in the picture.

8. Fold the side over and seal.  Put the tabs in and seal the box.  When using the 6″ x 6″ paper the box is snug with the full size Snickers inside.  Use  tape or adhesive to keep the tabs in place.

 

I love making these cute boxes and I hope you do too!  Please leave a comment and also let me know if you have any questions.  Please subscribe to my blog for many more 3D gift items and cute and simple Stampin’ Up! cards.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
