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,

SWEET & SPOOKY DOODLE CUTS TREAT BOXES | with Kathy

Halloween time is coming up, you know what that means???  Yes, Treats!!!  Lots of treats!  For my project today, I came up with a fun way to package some of those goodies using the new Sweet & Spooky Collection and the coordinating Haunted Manor and Treat Yourself Doodle Cuts Sets.  These would be fun to give away, or use as party favors.  Take a peek...

For the front part of my boxes I used the Haunted Manor and Treat Yourself Doodle Cuts Sets.  I then added a little box to the back, perfectly sized to hold a small treat.

I love the Haunted Manor.  It's so fun and not so spooky when put together using the wisteria striped side of the Bitty Boos paper and some fun Polka Dot Petite Prints.

The Haunted Manor Doodle Cuts  come with dies for ghosts and pumpkins, but I decided to add a little shine and dimension by adding them from the Halloween Night and Pumpkin Pals shaped sprinkles.

My second treat box was put together using the Treat Yourself Doodle Cuts.  This Doodle Cuts set just asked to be made into a shaker!  I used the spider web side of the Sweet & Spooky cardstock along with some Floral/Graph and Candy Strip/Sprinkles Petite Prints to create my jar.

I added some acetate for the front, and attached it with some foam strips.  I filled my jar with some of the candies doodle cuts, some puffy stickers, sprinkles and Doodlebug sequins! I tied it all off with some doodle twine.

Now I have a treat for you!  I created files with the little boxes to fit these two Doodle Cut sets.  They are available in SVG, Silhouette and in a PDF.  The links are below!  

That's all for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

HELLO AGAIN GOLD DOT ACETATE BOXES | with Lisa

This week, I decided to create something a bit different. I love the Gold Dot Heavy Acetate sheets included in the Hello Again collection and I absolutely wanted to make something with them. I decided to go with cute little transparent gift boxes.

To start, I cut my acetate using my cutting tool, creating the shape to fold the box. The bottom part of the box is 2x2x2 inches, so I cut out a square of 6x6, , cut off what I didn't need, folded it and adhered it together.

For the box lid, I did the same technique, except that the sides are only 1/2 inch. Be careful to add 1/16 or 1/8 inch to the lid, otherwise it won't overlap the box.

When I was done with the two boxes I noticed that they were the perfect size to put three washi tapes in them, so now they are washi tape gift boxes... :)

I created some flowers and butterflies using the Butterfly Wishes Doodle Cuts Dies that I then adhered to the lids and to one side of the boxes. I also added some enamel dots, jewels and gold puffy hearts.

I think the boxes look soooo fun and cute and can also be used to gift jewelry, cookies, candy...

Thank you so much for stopping by and have fun creating :)

PETITE PRINTS BIRTHDAY TREAT BOXES | with Karen

March to July in my family is what I call "birthday season". Almost everyone in my family celebrates birthdays during this time. So between birthday planning, baking and crafting, it's high season! So I am always happy to have Doodlebug products around to help me get the job done.

 

 

One of our birthday traditions is to make small party favours for our guests (and then I usually forget to give them away at the end of the party - true story). I usually try to match the theme that is chosen for the party, so products like Doodlebug's Petite Prints are perfect because you can mix and match them to coordinate with just about anything. For one of our July birthdays, I made these little treat containers to match a floral/bunny theme.

   

I was able to select some of the more neutral tones from the collection to for the container and wrap. I then created some flowers from the Hello Fall Doodle Die cuts and added a rabbit that was cut from a Cricut cut file. Simple, but pretty cute! Here's how you can create the treat container: Cut your paper to 6"x7".

 

 With the 7" side along the top of your scoring tool, score at the 1", 3", 4" and 6" marks.

   

Turn your paper 90 degrees. Score that the 1" and 5" marks. Using a pail of scissors, snip in on each score mark up to the 1" and 5" lines you just created. These will create the sides of your container.

   

 Fold all of your score lines. Using adhesive, add glue to the tabs shown in the photo. It doesn't matter which end of the paper you start on - just add glue to the end small tab and then the middle small tab on the back side of each. Repeat on the opposite side.

   

Fold these small tabs up and against the longer tab right beside it. This will form the bottom of your container.

   

To create the lid, add adhesive to the remaining 2 small tabs. Tuck those in and up against the longer tab right beside them to form the side.

   

Your container should be in this shape.

   

Fold the lid down over the bottom of the box and you are all set.

   

Have fun filling them with your favourite treats and embellishing away!

   

Well, birthday season is almost over here, but hopefully these little containers help you with yours! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
