Get Your Trick or Treat On

I know with all this heat it doesn't seam possible, but Halloween is on its way and will be here before you know it. 

Today I am sharing projects  made  from PhotoPlay Papers- Trick or Treat Line.

This line is full of beautiful colors and great Halloween finds.

For the layout I used the Sketch for the August Challenge and lots of stickers from the sticker sheet.



*if you haven't tried the challenge yet, give it a try!



The cat card is made using one journal block, some printed paper and the happy Halloween sticker (with pop dots).


The second card is also made with bits of paper and 2 stickers.
Both cards are easy and quick and a fun way to share a little "spooky" greeting.





Because this is halloween, I wanted to create some different ways to share treats with your
co-workers, neighbors and those little witches and goblins who visit your door.

The first box is the tall Triangle Box from Lori Whitlock.  The box can be cut on either  a cricut or silhouette or you can find a template to use with the Scor-Pal



Next up is the bag in a box.  It is made from a 6 x 6 piece of paper and an Envelope punch board.



The fold over box is also made using a punch board.

I posted a video explaining how to make both boxes.

If you have extra envelopes laying around, an envelope bag is a great way to share a treat as well.

These bags go together in just a couple of steps.

The last two projects are use made using supplies you probably already have at home.

Simply wrap tissue paper around a toilet paper roll or small box and tie with some twine.

Finish with some printed paper and a little sticker.

Inexpensive but cute!

Now its your turn.

Vintage Projects with Photo Play Papers Gypsy Rose

Tracy here from The Idea Closet and today I have a fun project to share with you from the Heartfelt Design Team using 

Photo Play Gypsy Rose collection.

This paper has a soft vintage feel to it.  The floral print and butterflies are feminine and beautiful.

The string tie envelopes and box are a great start for this project.

The file is from Silhouette and can be found here.

The envelopes were cut from vellum.  The cards are cut from cardstock with the printed paper or journal cards added.  Don't forget to decorate using some of the stickers.

Tie closed with twine.

Next up is this box.  Use your digital cutter to cut this svg file from Snap Dragon Snippets.

You can find all the details here.

Create cards using some of the scraps, more vellum and stickers.  

Who wouldn't want to receive one of these cards.

My favorite project was the layout.  Its a great way to share a few favorite pictures.  

Use die cuts or your digital machine to add vines. 

Don't forget to add scraps of the beautiful paper, matted w/ cardstock and for the finishing touch add more stickers.

I hope you enjoy checking out this project.
