Happy Halloween Treat Boxes

Hi friends, it's Wendy Sue here today, sharing a set of fun little halloween treat wrappers I created with the "Happy Halloween" collection by Carta Bella Paper. 

Do you have a few special ghouls and goblins who get extra-special treats? Here's a fun way to wrap up some Halloween goodies for your favorites!

What would YOU put inside??

Happy Hallowen!

Happy Halloween Layout

Hi everyone!  It's Wendy Sue here today, sharing a layout I created with the "Happy Halloween" collection from Carta Bella Paper.  I love the classic colors and vintage art in this collection!

It was hard to choose one embellishment, so I used many!

I used foam adhesive behind some of the stickers (like the banners) to add extra dimension.

If you have trick-or-treaters, don't forget to take some pictures so you can document them later!

Happy Halloween!

Wendy Sue

Happy Halloween Box Scene Cards

Counting the days until Halloween? It's right around the corner! This year, I'm making my Halloween cards with the Carta Bella Happy Halloween 6X6 Paper Pad. I love the retro-looking graphics in this collection, and the images in the 6X6 pad are perfectly scaled for cards.

For each card, I used the Carta Bella Happy Halloween Solids Kit to make the bases. The solid paper is made from the same quality Carta Bella cardstock that we know and love. Each card is a unique little Halloween scene in a shadow box format. They fold flat for mailing. Once the cards arrive, they can be displayed for a cute home decor piece.

The Trick-or-Treat Card features the beautiful Halloween Town illustration in the background. It's the same image that's used on the 12X12 papers, but smaller. I love being able to use it on a card! I've also used the adorable trick or treat ghost. He was fussy cut from one of the papers in the 6X6 pad.

The Happy Halloween Card also has a sweet little ghost and this one is reading a scary story upon a spider's web. The exterior webs were cut from a solid color n the 6X6 pad with my digital cutting machine and then topped with glitter glue for a fun look.

I had so much fun putting these cards together! The Carta Bella Happy Halloween Collection is a great collection of whimsical Halloween images. I loved working with these papers and I know that you will too.

My Favorite Fall Treats

Fall and Yummy Treats are synonymous in my world, how about yours?  Hi friends, it's Wendy Sue and I loved creating these fun treat packages with papers and tags from the "My Favorite Fall" collection! 

Here's a closer look at the fun octagonal box (Silhouette Design ID#277806) I created by cutting a window in one panel and tying a cute tag to the top of the box.

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to wrap a delicious chocolate bar (which is always a great go-to), this idea is perfect for you!  I resized a cut file (Silhouette Design ID#197332) to fit around the candy bar. Isn't the tag perfect?!?

If you have a smaller treat to share, consider placing them in a cello bag and wrapping an open-sided treat bag around them like this one! (Silhouette Design ID#287263)

No matter what kind of treat you want to share, you can easily make it extra special with a quick and easy personalized wrapper!

My Favorite Fall Tags With Puffy Stickers

It's a beautiful autumn morning, which means it's going to be a perfect day for crafting!  Did you know many Echo Park collections now have the cutest coordinating PUFFY STICKERS?!?  I used the "My Favorite Fall" puffy stickers to add some fun interest to this little tag set:

Here's a peek at the puffy stickers - aren't they the cutest?!?

If you look closely you'll also notice that I used a new tag die, and embossing folder, and some great chipboard pieces to create these seasonal tags.

I cut apart the wagon full of pumpkins and added the pumpkins to the truck - I love the dimension it added!

Several layers and a few different techniques for adding dimension = so. much. fun.

Do you like to make tags?  What do you use them for?  I am thinking these will be cute added to a stack of homemade pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  They will make a delicious gift even more fun and festive!

How would YOU use these fun puffy stickers? Tell us in the comments below for a chance to win a set for yourself! 

Winner will be announced here on the blog next Wednesday, so be sure to come back and check for your name!
