Woot woot! It's Day Two of Penni & Lyssa's Creepy Crafty Halloween Adventure! We can't wait to share what we've been making with you this week. We hope you get lots of cute, last-minute ideas for making the occasion extra fun –even if this year is extra weird!
Halloween is Penni's birthday and The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of her favorite movies, so here's a sneak peek at the custom packaging I made for her present!
Do you recognize it? She loves Jack Skellington! And there's a pattern in the Magic In This Night paper pack that is just perfect for his suit.
This bag is super economical because even though it's quite large (about 5 tall by 9 wide) it still only uses ONE sheet of 12×12 paper. The lapels are hand-cut, and the bowtie clips on to close the bag with a little clothespin.
Get the Goods:
- Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper [153517] $11.50
- Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [140272] $8.25
- Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems [153547] $8.00 (color black with a sharpie)
As if you needed another excuse to get the Arrange A Wreath bundle, here is a Halloween version! Layering Pumpkin Pie and Gorgeous Grape cardstock with Basic Black Glimmer Paper makes for a gorgeously elegant card even before you emboss the background with the new Cobwebs 3-D folder.
Get the Goods:
- Arrange A Wreath Bundle (stamps and dies) [154109] $54.00
- Black Glitter Paper 12×12 2 pk [153518] $6.00
- Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder [153578] $9.00
Our last project for today is SO quick you could easily make enough for the neighborhood! Or at least everyone in the office. Buy yourself a bag of Hershey's Nuggets (better yet, buy two!) and eat a couple before tackling this job!
Stamp and punch out two pumpkins with the Harvest Hello stamp set and Apple Builder punch per treat. Then cut a strip of 1.25 by 5.5 inches long (any color of cardstock, mine happened to be Pumpkin Pie). Score at .5, 2, 3.5 and 5 inches.
Adhere a Nugget to the middle panel with two glue dots, then fold the strip into a triangle around it. Adhere the flap at the top, then add your pumpkin punches to either side along with a stem and leaf. SO CUTE!
