Halloween Banner

Hello Pebbles fans! Eva Pizarro here today bringing you a halloween decor for your front door. In Chile we are just starting to celebrate this holiday. I live in the suburbs and here there are a lot of children who dress up and knock our door asking for treat or trick. This year I decided to decorate our front door a little to let them know they are welcome and that we have candy!

To start this banner I used my Minc machine to laminate the “Boo!” word with an orange foil. Pebbles has many embellishments that you can laminate to customize your supplies, here I am using the subway art that comes with other posters but you could also use a laser printer and print your own word.

Use your Banner Punch Board to cut triangles a bit larger that the ones that come with the pre-made banner kit.

Mat all your tringles and arrange them mixing patterns.

Embellish your triangles, I decorated two of them with a few die cuts from the “Chips” package.

And used the other ones to put my letters. I also decorated these triangles with die cuts and some enamel dots.

Use the hole punch in your Banner Punch Board to make the holes in your banner and pass a string to create your banner.

To cover the nails on my door I used this cute bat clothespin.

How to Create Cards using Punches

Hey Pebbles friends, Becki here, Halloween is just around the corner. I pulled out some of my favorite punches to create a set of Halloween cards. Of course I used the Boo! collection and some American Crafts punches.

Creating Halloween Cards using punches by @jbckadams (Becki Adams) for @Pebblesinc I punched lots of shapes from lots of patterned paper, especially a lot of stars.

Here’s why I needed lots of stars, there are 3 different patterned paper stars layered and stitched together to create this card.

Creating Halloween Cards using punches by @jbckadams (Becki Adams) for @Pebblesinc I created a banner with one of the 3×4 journaling cards and the banner shaped punch.

I created a banner at the top of the card and stitched it down with a sewing machine. Then, I layered on some die cuts and stickers to create this adorable card.

Happy Halloween Pebbles Inc Fans, its Holly here today from Ribbons & Glue!  I know it’s not officially Halloween but since Halloween excitement is in the air, I’m sharing a paper mache Halloween Black Cat that I painted and embellished with the Pebbles Inc Boo! collection.

This paper mache cat was something I picked up last year at an after Halloween clearance price.  Luckily, I remembered to pull it out of my craft stash this year .  After I  painted it black, I felt the cat needed a little more Halloween fun so the embellishments in the Boo! collection did the job.

The cat is spray painted black and I painted the eyes with green and  glow in the dark paints.

I used  Boo! patterned papers, enamel dots, and made a chipboard tag to embellish the cat’s neck.

Witch’s Brew Layout

Hi, Renee here to share a step-by-step tutorial of a Halloween layout I made using the Boo! collection.  Let’s time travel together back to Halloween 2006.  Caitie was dressed up as the cutest little witch and 1½ years old.  I took her outside for a photoshoot and got some great candid pics of her playing with her cauldron (candy bucket).  I chose my favorite photo of her for a Witch’s Brew layout.

I found this image on Pinterest and used it as inspiration:

Here’s my Witch’s Brew layout:

I started this layout with the magical Spooky pattern paper for my background.  I trimmed off the bottom strip from the Trick-or-Treat pattern paper and adhered it along the bottom of my page.  The photo measures 5″ x 7″.

For my title, I used a Minc Halloween Label Sticker and foiled it in Caitie’s favorite color, Purple. Looks great!

I placed the “Witch’s Brew” title along the bottom strip of my page and added a witch’s hat and feet and an adorable black cat, too.

I cut along the cauldron in the photo and added a few Enamel Dots for a fun witch’s brew.

I matted my photo with the Candy Corn pattern paper.

I used both sides of the Hocus Pocus pattern paper to add layers under my photo.  These paper pieces measure 3.75″ x 6.25″ and 5.75″ x 7″.

I cut the “31” card from the Happy Halloween pattern paper and added it to my layers.

I stamped the date around the “31” card.  This Roller Stamp is still one of my favorite tools.

I added a spider, and a few pumpkins around my page.  I also added cute potion bottle embellishments next to my photo.

Love the Witch’s Brew effect the Enamel Dots give to the cauldron in this photo!

Love this cute little owl!

I love the colors in this Washi Paper Tape and love that I can see the cute text from the Hocus Pocus pattern paper show through it a bit.

Upcycled Halloween Treat Containers

Happy Halloween, Pebbles fans!  Amanda here today.  I love candy.  I love eating it and I love giving it away, which makes Halloween the perfect holiday for me.  Now that I’m a little older, I try to focus on giving away more candy than I eat.  It helps reduce the temptation to stuff my face with peanut butter cups all day long.

Washi Tape Halloween treat containers by @amanda_coleman1 using @pebblesinc BOO! collection

Upcycling and repurposing food containers is one of my favorite ways to make quick gift containers.  I have a h-u-g-e bag (or two) filled with jars, cans, bottles, and boxes just for the purpose of making treat jars, pencil cups, and storage containers.  Sure, sometimes the labels can be tricky, but it is super convenient and, above all, good for the Earth.  These plastic containers are dressed up with washi tape, tags, and twine.  They take minutes to put together and don’t require any special techniques.  Bonus!

I’ll bet you recognize the shape of this container!   Frosting containers are seriously my favorite.  They are just the right size for giving away larger pieces of candy.  Don’t these bloodshot eyeball gumballs look perfectly creepy?  Worried about travelling with an open container? Place the candy in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a pretty bow before putting the candy in the container.

Pebbles Chips are one of my favorite Pebbles products.  They are perfect for making cute tags for your upcycled treat containers.  I think this skeleton looks extra cute with a little twine bow on her head.

Repurposing a plastic container into a gift container is easy.  For this project you will need: empty containers, washi tape, tags, and twine.

Washi Tape Halloween treat containers by @amanda_coleman1 using @pebblesinc BOO! collection

Trim your washi tape to size by wrapping the washi sheet around your treat container and cutting off the excess.  The shorter the washi strips, the easier they are to work with.  Plus, you will have saved the little extra washi strips to use on cards and layouts later.

Washi Tape Halloween treat containers by @amanda_coleman1 using @pebblesinc BOO! collection

Wrap the washi strips around the container one at a time, starting at the top.  Using the nice, straight edge at the top as a guide will ensure that all of your washi tape lines up nicely.  Start by adhering your washi tape in the middle on the front.  Adhere one side at a time until the ends overlap on the back of the container.

The lid for the middle container was originally light blue.  Yuck!  CRAFTY TIP: Spray paint lids so they coordinate with your treat containers.  Choose a spray paint that is compatible with type of lid you are painting (i.e., plastic, metal).

Happy Haunting!

Amanda
