TRICK OR TREAT LET’S MAKE A BOX FOR SOMETHING SWEET! A STAMP HAPPY HALLOWEEN POST

Hi Stampers!

Today I am going to share a box you can use as a starting point for Halloween treat holders. This box is 3” long x 2” tall x 1” wide. The box can be decorated directly, or sandwich the box between decorative two panels. Let’s take a look at my sample projects:

This what the box looks like:

OTHER SUPPLIES

* Cardstock for box - orange (Pumpkin Pie)

A mat can be added to the shapes for more colorful creations.

SPOOKY FUN TREAT HOLDERS

This box is easy to make. It can be used as a treat holder for any occasion. When I need party favors or need something to hold little gifts and treats for co-workers, teachers, or anyone, this box is my go to starting point. It holds quite a bit of fun-sized candies, small toys and trinkets, lip balm, smaller tubes of lotion, travel sized toiletry items, etc. Yes, I have been known to fill these boxes with a small tube of toothpaste and a travel toothbrush along with a few sweet treats. This box can be dressed up a lot, but when I make them to hand out for Trick or Treating, I kept them simple - let’s be real - the box will soon be in the trash. When I create these as party favors or to pass out to groups, like co-workers, a church group, a school class, and the like - I add a bit of bling. Many times I put the decorated and filled box inside a small clear cellophane bag and tie a ribbon around it.

That’s all for today and this wraps up my Stamp Happy Halloween series for 2024. Thank you so much for joining me. Until next time . . .

Stamp Happy!

STAMP SCRAPPY CARDS FOR HALLOWEEN - A STAMP HAPPY HALLOWEEN POST

Hi Stampers! 

I have a lot of paper scraps. I have mentioned this before, and you might have even seen some of my envelopes or boxes of scraps. I use my scraps whenever I can. For today’s cards I pulled out my scraps of Halloween themed papers and paired them with three tried and true scrap techniques. Let’s take a look;

VIDEO

STAMP SCRAPPY HALLOWEEN CARDS

DIAGONALLY CUT STRIPS LAYOUT

 

For this card I used strips of paper cut 4” long x 3/4” wide.  I cut each strip in half diagonally by placing one 3/4” end of the strip in the trimmer at 1/2” and the other end at 1/4” then cut. Adhere to mat alternating wider end of strip and narrow end of strip at top of mat panel. Leave a bit of a gap between the strips as you work your way across the card.

NOTE - For a portrait version of the card cut the strips 5 1/4” long x 3/4” wide. Then follow directions above for cutting and adhering to mat panel. 

SUPPLIES 

* Card base - black cardstock cut at 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”

* Mat - orange cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4”

* Patterned paper strips - about 6 pieces (different patterns) cut at 4” x 3/4” then cut in half diagonally as described above.

* For greeting - orange cardstock 5 1/4” x 1 3/4” patterned paper 5 1/4” x 1 1/2”  Happy Halloween die cut (alternate - a stamped greeting on light colored cardstock)

* Inside panel - white cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4” and black ink for sentiment

* Adhesive of choice and dimensionals for greeting

HALLOWEEN HERRINGBONE TECHNIQUE

The herringbone technique is an easy way to arrange strips of scraps into an eye-catching pattern. There is no specific measurement for placement of your strips, and the strips do not need to be the same length. I find it easier to cut the strips the same same length, and as I place them on the panel, trim them periodically. What is trimmed away can be used to cover other areas of the card. I cut my strips 1/2” wide x 7” long. Why 7”, because the diagonal of an A-2 card base is about 6.95” (yes, I did the math - just for fun), but if you measure with a ruler you’ll see it is almost 7”. That is where I get the 7” measurement. I cut about 10-12 strips to get a good variety of patterns.

SUPPLIES I USED

* Card base - black - 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”

* Pattern base - white cardstock (any color will be fine as it will be covered up) cut at 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” this piece will be cut down to 5 1/4” x 4” later)

* Patterned paper _10 - 12 strips cut at 7” x 1/2”

* For images - Mini Cat Die (scrapbook.com), word bubble die (Stampin’ Up!®️), black, white, pink, green, gray, and yellow cardstock, black ink, and white gel pen

* Inside panel - white cardstock -5 1/4” x 4”

* Adhesive sheets cut at 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”, dimensionals

ASSEMBLY

* Place the adhesive sheet on the pattern base cardstock

* Place 1 strip of patterned paper diagonally across the cardstock. Place the 3/4” end of a strip of paper against the center strip, place it closer to the top of the card than the bottom. Do the same on the opposite side of the center strip, only place it closer to the bottom than the top. This creates 4 sections to fill with the remaining strips. Trim the excess paper periodically.

* Once the panel is covered with patterned paper, trim it to 5 1/4” x 4”

* Place the piece inside an embossing folder of choice. Embossing adds texture and really pushes the strips into the adhesive. Adhere this to card base. Adhere inside panel in place.

* Add die cuts

FOUR RECTANGLES TECHNIQUES

This is an easy, yet visually appealing technique. Simply cut 4 rectangles of patterned paper and adhere to a panel. The rectangles are 2 1/2” x 1 7/8” each. I used two different patterns, but one pattern, two patterns or all different patterns! Adhere these rectangles to a panel and a card base. Add focal images and a greeting.

SUPPLIES I USED

* Card base -black cardstock cut at 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”

* Mat panel - Orange cardstock - 5 1/4” x 4”

* Patterned paper - 4 pieces each cut at 2 1/2” x 1 7/8”

* Orange cardstock and layering circle dies, black ink, and “Trick or Treat” word stamp. Mask stamp to allow for stamping each word individually with the black ink, then use circle dies to die cut greeting.

* Cat dies - Mischievous (Tim Holtz)

* Inside panel - white cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4”

* Adhesive and dimensionals

STAMP SCRAPPY HALLOWEEN CARDS

MORE SAMPLE CARDS

Here is a look at 3 cards I worked on in the video and one extra I made (bottom right), but did not use in the video. 

I hope these ideas inspire you to cut up those scraps and put them to use! These simple techniques make creating Halloween cards terrifyingly easy! Of course you can use these scrap techniques on cards for any occasion! Give these a try, you’ll find these techniques are quite addictive!!! Your scraps will disappear in no time!

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time . . .

Stamp Happy!

EERILY EASY HALLOWEEN FUN FOLD CARD & TREAT BOX - A STAMP HAPPY HALLOWEEN POST

Hi Stampers!

For today’s episode of Stamp Happy Halloween I thought we’d take a look at an easy fold card. I call this type of card a box sleeve card as it is scored and folded to form a “box sleeve” similar to the sleeve of a box of matches. Folding the card like this allows it to be a 3 dimensional creation which stands on its own! The back side of the card includes a colorful mat and a panel for stamping a greeting and signing. The card folds by pressing the box s peeve toward the card center. It fits perfectly inside an A-2 size envelope. Let’s take a look at the sample cards:

STENCILING BACKGROUNDS FOR FUN HALLOWEEN CARDS - A STAMP HAPPY HALLOWEEN POST

Hi Stampers!

It is September! I cannot believe how quickly the summer went by! It is time to turn my attention to all things fall, and that means it is time to begin creating Halloween cards.This month I will share some Halloween card ideas in my STAMP HAPPY HALLOWEEN  blog and video series. I will continue with my Stamp Happy Holidays Christmas card series as well. 

As for Halloween cards,  I do send them to several people, and I usually include a card with treat bags I hand out to my favorite “boos and ghouls.” So, let’s get started! Today I am sharing some stenciled backgrounds I created for some not so spooky Halloween cards. Let’s take a look;

VIDEO

STENCILING BACKGROUNDS FOR FUN HALLOWEEN CARDS

SPOOKY FORESTS CARDS

I used black cardstock and a gray ink (Weathered Wood - Distress Oxide) along with stencils to create spooky forest backgrounds for these cards. Technically I used “masks” to create the background for the cards on the left and the middle. The masked area remained the same color of the cardstock and created the image. The ink created the spooky darkness around the trees. I used a stencil for the card on the right. The trees were inked and the cardstock color was masked providing the darkness to surround the trees. Whether it is called a mask, stencil, or another name, you can get great results. Just be aware of what areas will be colored by the ink so you will be sure to get the results you are hoping for.

2. Use a lighter color ink and apply over the cardstock with a blending brush, sponge, etc.

3. Carefully move the stencil over to the right (or left) just a smidge. The stenciled circles should be partially seen through the opening in the stencil.

4. Now apply the other color(s) of ink to the panel.

5. Remove the stencil and the dots (or other image) will have a shadow.

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN STENCILING!
