Halloween Ghost Treat Box ~ Weekly Wed. #34

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Fun Fold Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. Halloween is only 15 days away and it’s time to start thinking about those special Halloween treats. Every year I try to create something special for my little neighbor friends. I don’t send many Halloween cards, but it is fun to create a special treat box each year. My video features a Halloween Ghost Box, but stay tuned to the end of this post for a fun witch box. I am still having issues with YouTube. If the video does not display click the image below for video. CLICK HERE for my YouTube Channel.

Here are the supplies I used for today’s project.

  • Basic Black CS-(Box) 5 ½ x 7
  • Halloween DSP- 1 ¾ x 7
  • Basic White -(tag) ¾ x 3
  • Spooky Treats Stamp Set-Paper Pumpkin September 2022
  • Memento Black Ink

So I decided to make my second box a little more girly. I used the exact same method for creating the box, but switched out the stamp set. I used the witches feet from Bewitching (retired set) and the witches hat punch (also retired). I think both boxes turned out so stinkin’ cute. So use whatever Halloween stamp set you have or click here to shop for our current Halloween collection.

I hope you have fun creating those special Halloween Treat Boxes. Happy Stamping!

Paper Pumpkin Alternative ~ Fun Fact Friday!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Fun Fact Friday, Paper Pumpkin /

Did you know that real pumpkins are good for you? They are about 80-90% water making them low in calories. One cup of pumpkin contains 3 grams of fiber and no fat or cholesterol. Each pumpkin produces about 500 seeds which are also a healthy choice. And if you live in the mid-west, you are in luck. Illinois is the largest produces of pumpkins in the United States.

While today’s projects features some of the stamps from our September 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, you cannot eat them. But, having a paper pumpkin kit delivered to your door monthly, might improve some crafting therapy and improve your mood, especially after all the supplies are used, you still have the stamp set to create amazing cards.

Here is a look at the stamps that came in the 2024 September Paper Pumpkin Kit.

And here is the card I created using one of the leaves from this set.

I used Old Olive ink and randomly stamped about 9 leaves going in a circle. I love the leaves and the vine branch in this set. Not to mention I think the with thanks and thinking of you will be two greetings that are well used. The splatter of dots is from the Nested Friends stamp set and is stamped with Early Espresso ink.

More Fun Facts about Paper Pumpkin

  • Each month, the project in the box changes, usually to match the season. 
  • The box costs $25 per month, and shipping is included. 
  • The box contains everything needed to complete the project.

If you think this card looks different than the sample in the video, you are not wrong. I needed a thinking of you card for a friend, so I changed the greeting before I scanned my original.

I did not pop up my greeting, but that would be an option as well. So many choices! Love it!

More Stack, Slice, Shuffle Cards!

Make it Monday Videos, Paper Crafting Ideas, Stamping Techniques /

As promised earlier this week I am sharing the three cards I created with the designer series paper from Mondays, Make It Monday tutorial. Click Here if you missed that video. I don’t really have a “Fun Fact” for today, unless you consider my first card mess up as a fun fact. When I was transporting my cut pieces of designer series panels from my video studio back to my craft room, I somehow lost a piece. Does that every happen to you? I looked and looked and for the life of me have no idea where it landed.

So instead of using a third piece of DSP on my first cards, I went paperless! LOL The birthday greeting is from Simply Said and is punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.

Maybe it is not a huge mess up, but it certainly is different from the other two cards. Fun Fact: There are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities. One of my stamping friends taught this to me many years ago, thanks Lonnie!

With deepest sympathy and the thank you are from Something Fancy and stamped with Misty Moonlight ink. They are cropped with some of the dies from Something Fancy! These are featured in the 2024-2025 Annual catalog.

This really is a fun technique and I hope you give it a try. Depending on the your paper choice and the way you make your two cuts, you can get some fun and interesting cards. If you missed this or any other of the videos in my Make It Monday series, search categories and select Make It Monday videos or click here! Happy Stamping!
