Boo To You! Two Cards and an Adorable Halloween Werewolf Treat Box and Gift Card Holder

It's October 1st - time to plan those Halloween crafts!! Today I have 3 projects to share with you - all featuring the super cute Boo To You stamp set!

Aren't these just the CUTEST stamp images!!  I have a project featuring each of these little monsters!

First let's start withe the treat box project. The box perfectly holds TWO Reese's Pumpkins and has a card tucked inside...

And inside the card is a pocket for a gift card! I put a fall Starbuck gift card in mine - Chocolate AND Coffee - what a great little Halloween gift! But you could put in any gift card or cash if you prefer (cash is the perfect gift for any teen or young adult!)

The box is made from the Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza box. You cut out the center section and you can make two treat boxes from one Mini Pizza Box!  This project may look familiar to you if you follow my blog - I made this cute Easter project using this idea earlier this year.  I got this great idea from my team member Rachel Tessman, here is her Mini Pizza box treat holder and card from last Halloween. Thanks for the great idea Rachel!

I used the new Gold Mini Pizza boxes from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog for this project. Because you are cutting the box into two boxes, you do need to add some Tear & Tape adhesive. Scroll down for the free PDF tutorial or to watch the video on how I made this project.

I love this little monster - he reminds me of the Monster's Inc. movies! This versatile set is perfect for Halloween, but also for a child's birthday card like this one. I used one of the patterns of the Monster Bash paper that is not specific to Halloween. The Beads & Baubles embossing folder adds a fun background behind our little monster and I used the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set for the sentiment. 

This fun fold card also has a pocket for a gift card!  This is just one of the free project sheets that I sent out this week to my subscribers. Are you receiving my weekly free project sheets in your email box? You can click here to subscribe so that you don't miss a thing!

Of course, I also had to make another version with the Boo To You zombie too! 

Here is a peek at the inside! As I mentioned, those who subscribe to my weekly free project sheet newsletter got this project sheet in there inbox, in case you missed it you can see it here.

Now back to our fun treat holder - here is the Facebook Live video where I walk you through this cute project!

Creative Inking Blog Hop: Autumn Vibes

Welcome to our hop! I have 5 fun cards to share with you today, all from the same Designer Series Paper Pack which just so happens to be on sale this month! I have an autumn card (to follow our blog hop theme) and then 4 other cards you can create with the same amazing pack of paper, Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper!

I started by creating this fun card for our Autumn Vibes blog hop theme. The burlap is actually paper, but it looks amazingly realistic!! I added a layer of copper foil paper and used the pretty Leaf Trinkets to add to the "fall" theme.

The pretty Scalloped Lace Trim makes it extra elegant! But once I got this amazing paper out - I just could not stop creating!

I created the other four cards using another design from the Pressed Petals package - you get 4 sheets of every design and it is made to be cut apart and made into cards! I used the three panels down the center of the sheet.

I used exactly the same layout that I used for the autumn card - so simple and pretty!

Different panel, same layout again! The square is 3 3/8" so I layered it with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock that is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2".

This panel was a different shape but I kept all of the card elements the same, just made a larger layer. 

Four lovely cards fast!!!  Which one do you like best?!


For the next card I used one of the larger panels but I used the reverse side of the paper and went with a Christmas theme!

I used the Christmas Gleaming bundle stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock. This bundle comes with two lovely ornament punches. I punched out a Gold Glimmer ornament, cut off the hanger, and adhered it on top of the Mossy Meadow / Very Vanilla small ornament with just the hanger showing.

The elegant gold Metallic Edged ribbon was the finishing touch!

The beautiful Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper that I used to make all of these lovely cards is part of the buy 3 get 1 free sale that is going on right now!! Only 10 days left for this awesome deal - don't miss out!

I would love to see what you create with this lovely paper!! So fun!

Creepy Coffin Halloween Treat Box and a Sweet Mummy Card!

Super cute and super creepy little Halloween treat box for you today! These Coffin Treat Boxes are so fun to put together and decorate! What a great way to share Halloween fun with your friends and family! I have a video tutorial, a PDF project sheet and full supply list for you at the bottom of this post. 

I used a leftover tag from last week's Frankie & Friends Mini Curvy Keepsake project to decorate the inside and added 2 Pumpkin Pie Kit Kats.

The vampire image is from the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set - I colored it in with the Dark Real Red Stampin' Blend and the Light Smoky Slate. The little bat punch is part of the Every Season Punch Pack - this set of 4 little punches comes with a bat, a heart, a snowflake, and a maple leaf!

The boxes come pre-cut, and ready to assemble! I used the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder to add texture to the top of the box.

With the Ornate Frames Dies, I cut a window in the top of the box so the vampire could look out!

The Spooktacular Bash also comes with this cute Mummy stamp that I used on this Halloween card - so cute! I used another one of the Ornate Frame Dies - this time cut from Black Foil for the frame. Although these dies are in the Halloween section they are very versatile and can be used year round. I used the Crumb Cake Blends Combo pack to color the mummy. Both the vampire and mummy images require very little coloring - which keeps the projects quick and easy!

In case you were curious - this is the inside of the Mummy card! You just lift on the "Open if you dare" tag to open!

The Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels really added a fun sparkle to this project - at the throat of our Dracula and to embellish the creepiness of the label!

Here is the video tutorial! I also show several other cards and treat holder projects.

Thank you for joining me today! Just a heads up that the Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack was reloaded today with new goodies and amazing bargains! Check them out the clearance rack here! Happy creating!

So Cute! Four Adorable Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes

Love, love, love these sweet little boxes! I have a video with how to make all 4 projects and a free PDF project sheet for the Frankie project - just scroll down! 

The base for all of these projects was the amazing Mini Curvy Keepsake Box! The set of dies comes with the box die and all of these tags and pieces to decorate the box with.

I designed this "surprised" Casper the ghost for my Halloween Treat Holder Class! We added this cute tag from the Tags, Tags, Tags bundle to the top - and attached it with the wispy Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. The mouth is one of the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes (the largest circle).

For the next three projects I added the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder punch to the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box to make the apple, jack-o-lantern, and Frankie projects. By pairing up these two products you can create so many adorable treat holders!

A sweet fall apple! Inside is a Hershey's Chocolate Carmel Apple - yummy! Super simple to make, just stamp the apple, punch out the image, punch out the stem and leaf and attach it to the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box!

The backside!!

I used this same little apple as a baby gift a few weeks ago. My friend Caroline is expecting her first baby soon, she owns a Smoothie Bowl business so the fruit was the perfect way to package the baby gifts!

I popped them into the Baker's Box and added the rest of the baby socks that I could not fit into the apples! 

Back to Halloween! Again I used the images from the Harvest Hellos to make this little Jack-o-lantern! The face is embossed with the new Shimmer Black embossing powder and I added a bow from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.

A quick sentiment on the back, again from Harvest Hellos and cut out with the oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies.

I love doing Punch Art! You take a variety of punches and dies and make cute creatures from them - so fun! I designed this little Frankenstein treat box for my Halloween Treat Holder class!

On the backside is these sweet little tag from the Tags, Tags, Tags bundle! 

One of the great benefits of this bundle is you get three tags images on one stamp and can cut out all three tags at the same time with the matching die! It is such a time saver to be able to make 3 tags at once! In the set there are three stamps, one with 3 Halloween tags, one with 3 Valentine's tags, and one with 3 Christmas tags. Remember the tag from the Ghost box? That was one of the three, the 2nd was the tag on Frankie, and the 3rd will be featured on a project I will share next week.

Inside Frankie I stuffed a fun size, glow in the dark Peanut M&M pack (just roll up the candy and it will fit!). The pupils for his eyes are the small circle shapes from the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes.

Of course the head is the Apple Builder punch but have you guessed where the "bolts" came from?

For Frankie's bolts I used the basket from the Hot Air Balloon punch - it was perfect! I have details on how I attached the bolts in the video below.

Here is the Tuesday Tutorial Facebook Live video where I walk through all of the projects. Hope you can join me next Tuesday at 7:30 CT for my next video - it will be super spooky!!

Halloween Wicked Wine Tag

Wicked fun project today - the perfect gift for your adult friends who love Halloween! For this Hallow-wine tag I have a free project sheet PDF below and a video tutorial too. This project is made with items from the brand new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog that is available starting today!

A new bundle called "Wonderfully Wicked" was perfect for this project. I used the sayings from Wonderfully Wicked stamp set to stamp the sentiments and the Wicked Dies to cut out the word Wicked and the spider.

The cute little bat punch is from a new set of 4 little punches called Every Season Punch Pack. In addition to the bat it comes with a maple leaf, a snowflake, and a heart punch. I used the Ornate Frames Dies to cut out the "Have a" greeting.

The Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder is wonderfully detailed and even though it is shown with the Halloween projects it is a very versatile design that I will be using on my non-Halloween projects as well. I also used the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes for the gray "dot" on the "i". The "Halloween" greeting was punched out with the Classic Label Punch.

This Pumpkin Wine was perfect for this project! It is made from pumpkin and has hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. It is from a local Minnesota winery called Winehaven. Or you could use whatever wine you prefer or look for other Halloween themed wines (or ones with black or orange labels).

In this Facebook Live video I walk you through how to make this easy project!

Thank you SO much for stopping by! I appreciate you support so much! You can view / order the supplies used for this project by clicking on the pictures below. Have a wicked good time creating your own Hallow-wine tag!!

Simple and Stepped Up....

Simple and stepped up cards tonight with the Magnolia Lane Small Memories & More Card Pack!

The card pack comes with 10 double-sided predesigned 3" x 4" cards, 10 thick white blank notecards and envelopes. The finished size of the notecard is 3 1/2" x 5". This fun kit is not in the annual catalog - it's part of the Experience Creativity Projects that you can see on my website or by clicking here.

The image on the right is the finished notecard with the card attached (#simplestamping), I added a sentiment from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set, which is also not in the annual catalog, but part of the Experience Creativity products. The card on the left is my stepped up version which I made into a standard, full size card.

My customers who have the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and coordinating products have been adding this lovely Magnolia Blooms set to their collection too - the fonts match and it will work with what they already have, yay!

Here is the same "stepped up" card made with the other design from the card pack. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of whisper white and punched it out with the Timeless Label Punch.  The sentiment is popped up with a Dimensional. I embossed a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Mint Macaron cardstock with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder and adhered the card to it. A little bow using the Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon and attached with a glue dot was the finishing touch!

I stamped the small bloom from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set in Soft Suede and added a bit of color with the Petal Pink Light Stampin' Blend and the Mint Macaron Dark.

The sentiment on the left is stamped in Mossy Meadow, the one on the right is stamped in Soft Suede, which one do you prefer?

In this short video from my weekly Tuesday Tutorials on my Facebook page I show you how to make these fun cards and give you lots of other options too! Visit my Facebook Page to see all of my past video tutorials.

Here is a close up of the simple version (#simplestamping), just stamp the greeting on the predesigned card, adhere it to the folded notecard and you are ready to go! You can get EVERYTHING YOU NEED to make this card by ordering the Magnolia Lane Cards Everything You Need Bundle! 

Here are all of the products you get in the Magnolia Lane Cards Bundle!

If you prefer larger cards but like the simplicity of the card pack, order a pack of the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. These beautiful cards have white foil accents and come with pretty printed envelope liners. #simplestamping

Daisy Lane Sunflower Overlay Fun Fold Card

I'm excited to share this pretty sunflower card today - and it's a fun fold too! I have a short video for you and the dimensions below...

This patterned paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Paper looks SO MUCH like burlap fabric!! I created the large sunflower by stamping two of the large daisy image from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Crushed Curry ink on Crushed Curry cardstock. The center of the flower has been embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder (hard to see that in the photo) and then punched out with the 1 3/8" scallop circle punch. I stamped the word "Smile" from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Early Espresso ink directly on the designer paper.

This card layout is called an Overlay Fun Fold and in this photo you can see how it opens. The benefit of this fun fold is that you can see some of the inside of the card when the card is closed.  I love to put fun things inside the card too - so there is a baby sunflower inside of this one...

The smaller sunflower inside the card is made using the Medium Daisy punch, and I used the leaf punch again but cut off one of the leaves. TIP: When adhering the front piece to the card base, line up the bottom edge of the front flap piece with the bottom edge of the card base. Adhere under the flap with Tear & Tape.

Here are the dimensions for this Overly Fun Fold card:

Card Base: 5 1/4" x 5 1/2", with the 5 1/4" side at the top of the scoring tool, score at 4 1/4"

Front Piece: 4" x 4"

Front Designer Paper Layer: 3" x 3 3/4"

Inside Layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

Designer Paper for the top of the card: 3/4" x 5 1/4"

Designer Paper for inside the card on each edge: 3/4" x 4"

Special thanks to fellow demonstrator Lisa Curcio for this overly fun fold idea! 

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how to make this card. In the video I also share a couple of other cards made with this same fold, a Gerbera Daisy card, and lots of other tips! To see all my past Facebook Live videos, visit by page here.

I love, love, love this little Pine Tree Punch!

I paired it with a long time favorite embossing folder called Swirls and Curls. Just emboss some cardstock and punch out your tree - instant decorations! The beautiful ribbon has the words Merry Christmas already printed on it in a lovely shiny copper! So no need to get out the heat gun - love it!!

The ribbon is adhered to a strip of cardstock and popped up on Dimensionals to add texture to the card.
