My matchbook treat holder is a popular one. The best thing about this treat holder is the ease and the cost. You can make a number of these with a bag of candy and just a few supplies. This is what it looks like closed. The top front flap tucks into the bottom flap. Here is what it looks like open. The candy is stapled into the matchbook. I find this is the easiest way to keep it in place. Then the Trick or Treat is glued across the top … [Read more...] about Make Your Own Matchbook

Happy Halloween
I realize we are still two months out from Halloween, but since I started playing with the Frightfully Fun Suite, I couldn't help myself making a few more projects. Today's project is a really simple card. The pattern paper provides an amazing background for the card so it doesn't need a ton of other things on it. I am in love with those mini self-adhesive ghosts and bats. They have been very popular and are currently out of stock. They are … [Read more...] about Happy Halloween
Too Spooky!
I was at a retreat last weekend and hosted a class for the attendees. I debated whether or not it was too early for a Halloween project, but decided to go with it since I was inspired. I used one of our Standing Clipboards - you can find these in our Online Exclusives section and they come in a three pack. The two little ghosts and the cat are cut from our pattern paper. The large ghost is stamped and die cut. The tree is from the … [Read more...] about Too Spooky!
Boo!
This stamp and die bundle from Oh My Fright has so many great options. The tree is perfect for Halloween cards and trees.

I'm absolutely loving this Halloween bundle. This set has so many great options that you can mix and match the stamps, dies, and pattern paper. You can make so … [Read more...] about Boo!
Oh My Fright!
I know it's still Summer, but Stampin Up released their Halloween line up in July. I don't usually share Halloween projects this early in the year, but I couldn't wait to use this bundle, Oh My Fright. The pattern paper in this collection has so many possibilities, including using it as the background for a card like I did below. This bundle has matching embellishments with these adorable little ghosts and teeny tiny bats. I used the bats … [Read more...] about Oh My Fright!
Happy Halloween!
Last month, I shared a framed Halloween project. You can see it below. I really like this project, but it was time consuming to make since I stamped and colored the animals in it. I knew I could make a version of this that would be quicker and easier to replicate. The pattern paper in the Spooky Sweet Suite included a sheet of the characters already colored. This made it so much easier to put this together. Now that we've made it to … [Read more...] about Happy Halloween!
Spooky
Back today with another Spooky Sweet card. This time I used the pattern paper to create a trick or treat scene. The sheet with the doors and windows makes a great background. My three little critters are hand cut from one of the sheets of pattern paper. I'm really tickled by the fancy flamingo. She's just the cutest.

Do you send out Halloween cards? This would definitely one you could make several of in a short amount of time.
