Tick-or-Treat Haunted House Paper Craft {Thirty-One}

Have you enjoyed our Halloween paper craft week? 

We’re rounding out the week with a really amazing trick-or-treat haunted house created by Design Team member Juliana Michaels.

Are you ready for a little awesome?

Trick-or-Treat Haunted House 

I just love Halloween and decorating for Halloween is one of my favorite things to do. With that being said, I couldn’t resist creating a Trick or Treat Halloween birdhouse using the new Thirty One collection. 

The wooden birdhouse that I used as the base of the my project was purchased from a local craft supply store. I like to look for ones that are either on sale or clearance and then I save them for projects just like this. They are so much fun to alter with patterned papers and stickers and once finished, they can become the perfect piece to add to your holiday decor!

SUPPLIES:Thirty One Pumpkin Patch Patterned Paper (732295)Thirty One Hocus Pocus Patterned Paper (732291)Thirty One Dreadful Patterned Paper (732297)Thirty One Enchanted Patterned Paper (732299)Thirty One Icon Stickers (732304)Basics Purple Mini Dot (751390)Knock Outs Border Punch Kit (63013)Glitter Candy Dots Black (744291) 


INSTRUCTIONS:Purchase a wooden birdhouse at a local craft supply store. 


Paint the roof, underside of the roof, any openings and all of the edges with a color of acrylic paint that coordinates with the patterned paper you will be using on the section. I choose to use black for mine.

To cover the birdhouse with patterned paper you will need to create a template using white copy paper or a transparency.  


Place the paper/transparency on the birdhouse. crease the paper along the edges and then use a pencil to draw the edges. Cut out the template, just outside the drawn edges and place it on the birdhouse to make sure it fits properly. Trim it to fit as needed.  


Next, place the template on the patterned paper and trace around it. Cut it out and adhere it to the birdhouse using Yes! Paste or your favorite adhesive. 


The roof is made up of ½” strips cut from patterned paper. Run the strips through a paper crimper and then cut them into small pieces to create “shingles”. Adhere them to the roof using a hot glue gun to help provide more dimension.

Punch strips from patterned paper using the border punch, trim and adhere to edge of roof and base of birdhouse using hot glue glue. Cut 1/4” strips of purple patterned paper and adhere along roof edges. Embellish roof edges with Glitter Candy Dots.


Decorate house with Icon Stickers and attach them with Foam Tabs as needed for added dimension.

Halloween Framed Banner {Thirty-One}

Banners are always a Pebbles staple, so when Design Team Member Wendy Sue Anderson came up with this fun Halloween framed banner, we knew it was a winner. 

Halloween Framed Banner

I am still a huge fan of banners in my holiday décor, and I couldn’t wait to use the brand new Thirty One line to create my Halloween banner for this month! 

I started with the banner kit which makes creating banners super simple – the bases are all pre-cut and perfectly even – it even includes the string for hanging the banner.  I measured my frame and found that I could fit six banners perfectly.  

I started embellishing the banner blanks with pieces from the chalkboard sticker sheet, the phrase and accent stickers, some fun decorative tags, and handmade lollies created with patterned paper from the 6×6 paper pad.  

Of course, I also added lots of dimensional foam adhesive to add some interest and depth as I layered pieces on each banner flag.  The result is a fun, festive banner that fits perfectly on my photo wall.  

Happy Halloween!

Supplies:
Thirty One Banner Kit (732310)
Thirty One phrase & accent stickers (732304)
Thirty One chalkboard stickers (732305)
Thirty One decorative tags (732308)
Thirty One paper pad (732339)

Boo Street Halloween Papercraft {Thirty-One}

Did you catch Samantha’s fun Halloween door decor yesterday? Today we’re taking it inside the house with some fun paper craft letters created by Design Team Member Nina Yang. 

Hello everyone! Nina here again to share a quick and easy Halloween paper craft using the new Pebbles Thirty-One collection: A mini boo street.

I shared a Halloween Countdown Calendar on my blog last month with a printable activity list. One of the activities was to make a Halloween decoration. I made this fun Halloween paper craft. 

I had a lot of fun with the phrase and accent stickers in this collection. They are great for many different types of projects and surfaces.

I tried to mix and match the stickers to create a scene. For example: I sat the owl on the street sign with clouds and bats around her. There are many other elements in the sticker sheets that will work well together.

Did you notice the silver foil highlight on some of the stickers? It looks pretty cool in real life. I punched a 1-1/2” scallop circle and a 1” circle to make the base for the glitter letter stickers.

They are now living happily on top of our fireplace. As you can see, we don’t have a lot of room here and that is why I made my own octagon box frames. You can find the assembly steps (including a scoring guide and a free .studio cut file) on my blog here: http://wp.me/p20Ua5-20D.

 
Thank you for stopping by. Happy Halloween!!

Halloween Monogram Door Decor {Thirty-One}

We had such fun sharing our Thirty-One line with you this last week. We thought we’d make it a completely spooktacular, by sharing Halloween-related projects throughout the month.

This week we’re showcasing Halloween paper crafts. 


We’re kicking things off with a fun Halloween monogram door decor project put together by Design Team Member Samantha Taylor. 

Halloween Monogram Door Decor

I love decorating my front door for different holidays and seasons.  Today I created a framed monoram door decoration using Thirty-one. I love that Thirty-one is a mix of elegant and fun, with just a dash of spooky!

Remove the glass from a 12 x 12 frame and fill it with a sheet of Thirty-One Countdown.

Cover a monogram letter (I used T for Taylor) in Thirty-One Mystical and Dreadful. 

You can trace around the wood letter by hand, or if you have a Silhouette Die Cutting Machine you can use this tutorial on how to scan the monogram letter into your computer and cut the letter with your Silhouette.

Remember that  this will be hanging outside, so use a good, strong adhesive (like American Crafts This to That Double Sided Tape) to attach the paper to the wood letter.  


Attach the wood letter to your frame using the same strong adhesive from the previous step.
Add ribbon for hanging to the back side of your frame. 

I also added some magnets. These will keep the frame from banging around on the door when the door is opened and closed.

Embellish your monogram letter with your name and some detail stickers.  I used the witches cauldron in place of the “o” in Taylor.Some alternate options would be to use the witch’s hat for an “A”, the potion bottle for  an “i”  or a pumpkin for an “o.”  

Add some embellishments to the frame.

 Hang up on your front door and enjoy!

Saturday Share: Halloween Photo Pocket Page Scrapbooking {Thirty-One}

Have you had as much fun as we have with the new Thirty-One line? We’re coming to the end of the Thirty-One feature week, but never fear we will be sharing more Halloween fun throughout the month.

Today we’re featuring our regular Saturday link-up (hope you will share your projects!) and a fun Halloween photo pocket page style scrapbook layout created by Design Team Member Suzanna Lee.  

Halloween Photo Pocket Page Scrapbooking

Photo overlays don’t just have to be for layouts and cards, they work great on Project Life as well! The overlay gives the table setting an eerie appearance that matches the mood of a Halloween dinner party. 

6×6 paper pads are a lifesaver when it comes to creating Project Life pages. The big designs on the 12×12 pages shrunk down to a more manageable size for Project Life, allow one to still convey the pattern and not have the pattern engulf the pictures.

Supplies

Thirty One collection 6×6 paper pad (732339)
Thirty One collection, Thickers, Glitter Foam, Spooky, Black (732303)
Thirty One collection, Photo Overlays (732307)
Thirty One collection, Chalkboard (732305)
Thirty One collection, Cardboard Stickers (732304)
Thirty One collection, Decorative Tags (732308)
Thirty One collection, Banner Kit (732310)

Saturday Share Link-Up

We want to see what you’ve been up to. If you’ve recently shared a Project Life inspired layout on your site, we’d love to see it. Simply share with the link-up tool below!
