HEY PUMPKIN COFFIN TREAT BOXES | with Tarrah

When you think of Halloween, do you think of treats or scary things? I have combined both making some coffin treat boxes using the gorgeous Hey Pumpkin collection!

I used a cut file from Lori Whitlock and some beetle black cardstock to create the coffin shaped boxes. They were super easy to put together!

When you take off the lid of the coffin, you get a surprise pop out character! I used vellum folded up to adhere the characters to pop out of the box. I added a witch and spiders, some ghosts and some bats.

For the tops of the boxes I chose some papers from the 6" x 6" paper pad and who can go past the gorgeous Doodle Pops?! I added 3 to the tops of the boxes but then I also added some stickers from the This and That sticker sheet and Doodle twine around them as well.

I also added Shape Sprinkles, Bits and Pieces die-cuts and puffy stickers to decorate them also.

I absolutely love how these turned out! They would make a great gift or table placement for a Halloween party! I hope you give these a go!

HEY PUMPKIN COUNTDOWN CALENDAR | With Traci

Hi crafty friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a fun project that I made for October. I put a holiday spin on a Christmas tradition by making a Halloween advent calendar with the new Hey Pumpkin Collection and the House Advent Calendar. My grandlittles and I love this fall holiday, so I thought it would be fun to count down the days until they can wear their costumes and eat way too many sweets!

This calendar is a great way to celebrate Halloween a little bit each day. With 24 drawers that measure 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", they're a perfect size for small surprises. The house is approx. 15" x 16" and made of heavy white chipboard so, it's a colorful holiday decor piece that can be used year after year.

To decorate it, I started by covering the sides in 12x12 pattern papers. I used the Halloween Haul print on the roof and down the sides. Then, I covered the chimney in the pretty pink Boo-Tiful Bouquet.

Next, was the triangular space at the top. I filled it with stickers from the Hey Pumpkin Shadowbox Insert Kit. I love these. This one has witches, pumpkins, candies, spiders, and all sorts of cuteness! Plus they have enamel shape sprinkles that add shine and dimension.

In the center, I added the adorable Pumpkin Patch Doodle-pops. This little black cat and pumpkin are just too cute. And for sparkle, I threw in some mini jewels from the Halloween Assortment. I love this fun collage!

For the drawers, I covered each one in a fab-boo-lous print from the 6x6 paper pad. I used a 1 1/2" scallop circle punch, a 1 1/4" circle punch, and black and white card stock to create the circular shapes. Next, I added lots of cute mini icon stickers and dates with numbers from the Alphabet Soup puffy stickers. 

Since there are only 24 drawers and there are 30 days leading up to Halloween, I added 2 dates to each of the drawers in the last row. I mean ... there must be a surprise for every day! 😉

As the final touch, I trimmed out the front and the chimney with some Chunky Doodle Twine in beetle black. 

For another idea, check out my Christmas version of this advent calendar where I used the wonderful Gingerbread Kisses Collection.

This was such a fun project. It's a great activity to do with your family and it looks amazing sitting out for Halloween. The new Hey Pumpkin Collection and the House Advent Calendar are just spook-tacular! 🧡

SWEET & SPOOKY TREAT BOXES | with Miguel

Halloween treats are not only sweet, they are adorable when you put them in little boxes made with the Sweet & Spooky Collection!

I made several boxes and decorated them with Odds & Ends, it is incredible how amazing they look!

In the front, I added a window, and used the Stardust Acetate as a cover.  I love how you can see the little ghost through the window!

To close the boxes, I used Mini clothespins and some Bits & Pieces, which are the perfect element to make a spectacular closure. 

Thank you! for stopping by. see you soon.

SWEET & SPOOKY COOKIE BOXES | with Karen

This weekend, I decided to make some yummy monster cookies to kick off the Halloween festivities this month. It seemed fitting to get out my Doodlebug goodness and make some Sweet & Spooky containers to hold them. Because the only thing better than a monster cookie is a monster cookie wrapped in Doodlebug!

   

 

I used a simple little box cutout made to match the size of my cookies. These measure 3"x3" with a 1" side (If I made them again, I would make them about 1/2' higher to fit two cookies inside). The textured cardstock that coordinates with this collection was the perfect base. And I will actually admit that I stared at the beautiful colours for awhile before diving in - this selection is amazing and vibrant and playful...it was a bit like cracking into a new package of crayons!

   

 I then created little sleeves for the boxes that just slide off using the 12x12 patterned paper as a base.

   

And then out came the Odds and Ends die cuts for all the fun with embellishing. I didn't have too much space left for adornments like Sprinkles, but I did manage to add a little mini jewel to each of the sentiments from the Chit Chat pack. I love the texture and shine they add - they definitely make the boxes feel more "finished".

   

I am so glad there is still so much time left this month to craft with this collection. It really does make me smile, and I hope this project brought a little smile to you today too! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
