Halloween Treat Bag Tags

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Today I want to share with you some Halloween treat bag tags I made for the little monsters in my life! 

Here are the candy filled baggies I made for them! 

Candy coma here we come ;)

For the tags I used some stamps I had that I bought a while ago at Micheal's in their dollar bin by craft smart. I thought they would be really cute to stamp and colour... I was right!

Below is an iPhone pic I took after I had stamped them and cut them out using the PixScan mat on the Silhouette Cameo. I then used my Spectrum Noir markers to colour the cuties in. I had so much fun colouring them, I now get why adult colouring is becoming so popular these days! I felt like a kid again :)

Once the cut out stamps were all coloured, I attached them to the tags using some foam tape. The background paper I used comes from My Minds Eye - Halloween Basics Paper Pad. The tags measure 3x4 inches each.

And here are the finished tags ready for my little Monsters!

Forgot to take a pic of the back of the tags with my good camera, so here is another iPhone pic!

Hope you liked my Halloween Treat Bag Tags.
Happy Haunting and stay safe!

Halloween Bewitched Cabin | 3D Halloween Treat Box Decoration | SVGCuts

Hello, my crafty Friends!

It's been a while since I had taken on a bigger project. Sometimes all I need is an excuse to craft ;) My Excuse this time was that I needed something to display on one of the hospital units I work.

So here is what I created for them! 

How cool is this Bewitched Cabin?!

Not only does this make a cool decoration piece, but it can also be used as a treat or gift box!

For those of you that don't know I am a Nurse and have worked in Oncology for the past 18+ years. So recently I took my House of Haunts to work. Usually, it's displayed in my craft room all year long, but this year I thought it would be cool to take it to work and share it with all the staff, patients, and visitors on one of the Units. Here's a shout-out to Station 40 at the CCI! You would not believe the comments it has received and the amazement it gets when people find out it's made of paper and that it was done by someone that works there! There is no better reward than to see someone smile because of something you made :)

The only issue was that I also work on Station 30 and they were wondering why they didn't get one? The only logical solution I saw was to get busy creating a Halloween decoration for them! See Station 30, I love you guys too!

Welcome to my Bewitched Cabin! Muhahahaha!!!

The files for this amazing creation all come from SVGCuts!

Here are the kits I used:

House - Haunted Forest SVG Kit

Bats, Ghosts & Moon - Spooky Cuties SVG Collection

Spiderweb - Gothic Flourishes SVG Collection

Pumpkins - Toil and Trouble SVG Kit

Other supplies used:

Pattern Paper - My Mind's Eye

Black cardstock - Recollections

Vellum

A string of indoor orange lights

Wooden dowel 

Black twine

White, black, green Ink Pads

Hot Glue

Scotch Quick dry glue

Black rhinestones & enamel dot

Cotton ball

Precision Knife

Embossing folders 

Crop a Dile Big Bite Punch

Sizzix Big Shot

Silhouette Cameo 

Here is a closer look at the side of the house. Love the little vellum ghosts!

Here is the other side of the house.
To add the lights I used my crop-a-dile big bite punch to create some holes along the roofline of the house, and then pushed the lights through each hole.

 Kind of difficult to see here, but on the bottom left corner of the house I created a flap using a sharp precision knife. I then fed the plug end of the string of lights through the opening to allow it to get plugged in. You could also skip the string of lights and just add some electric tea lights instead.











Below are a few iPhone pics I took at work yesterday, sorry not the greatest quality :(

Here is the Bewitched Cabin as it's now displayed on  Station 30 (with one of my co-worker's hiding behind it). She did pose for another picture afterward but it was really blurry! Thanks anyway Jill!







And, here is the House of Haunts, which was my 2013 creation for the SVG Cuts Halloween Challenge now displayed on Station 40.


Oh, and see the stacked pumpkins on the top right, I made those last year as one of my SVG Cuts DT projects and gave them to Kim, our Unit Clerk. She now proudly displays them on the Unit every Fall!




 I love being able to share my work and inspire others. I hope this post has inspired you to share your work and creations with others as well! Take your beautiful creations out of your craft rooms and display them for others to enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Owl Witch Treat Box | SVGCuts

Hi Everyone!

Today I want to share with you another Halloween project of mine. It's a Treat Box I made for my Daughter Maia. For now, until Halloween comes it looks like a nice decoration piece! Selfish, I know... Shhhh don't tell her!

Who says only humans get dressed up for Halloween? Whoooo you!!! 

Whooo called her a Witch?!?! Boy she looks mad now, even her Bat Wings are up, LOL!

Here in Edmonton, they are calling for snow this weekend... Nooooooo! I hope those weather people are wrong, at least until Halloween has passed! It's no fun Trick or Treating with snow boots on :( 

Since snow is coming I thought it would be cute to make my Owl a Snowy-looking one!

I used a few SVG Cuts Kits for this project:

Witch's hat - Catacomb Manor SVG Kit

Bat Wings - Party on Elm Street SVG Kit

Owl - Enchanted Autumn SVG Kit

Cut using the Silhouette Cameo

The pretty patterned paper I used on the hat comes from Fleurette Bloom's Howlin Halloween Digital Paper Collection. The tag was also made on my Silhouette Cameo with the Print and Cut feature.

Look!!! She REALLY is a Witch! Her head just came flew off, Muhahaha! 

As you can see lots of room to fill up with candy maybe even a little gift :)

Don't forget to stop by SVGCuts for their Halloween sale!

I had a Hoot making this one... I can't help myself with the Owl puns! Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you've enjoyed this unusual Halloween Treat Box!

Happy Crafting :)

Witch Boots | Halloween Treat Boxes

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

This year for treats I thought I would make this witches boot. I had bought this file on the Silhouette Online Store and had cut all the pieces for it, but life, as usual, got busy and only tonight did I get to finish them up. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, lol! I slightly enlarged the file, but now I kind of wished I had enlarged it some more, as they are kind of tricky to put together when they are this small! Update this file is no longer available. Here is another "NANNY" boot file that could be used as a Halloween boot. 

Aren't they soooo cool?!  They actually can fit quite a bit of goodies. I also like that they can fit a full-size chocolate bar... and even extra candy in the front part of the boot :)

Here is a closer look! BOO! Did I scare you? Maybe those eyeball chocolates did, kinda creepy, aren't they?!

Just put it in a treat baggy, wrap it up and it's all ready for a very special little goblin!

I hope you like my "Boots!" Have a fun Halloween!

Happy Haunting & be safe!
