Trick or Treat Scrapbooking Layout | Midnight Haunting

Oct

Happy Halloween, everyone! Heather Leopard is here with a spooktacular Trick or Treat scrapbooking layout today. My daughter has been wearing her Halloween costume every day since we got it a few weeks ago. She asked if she could try out the bow and arrow so we headed out to the yard and what do you know? This toy set actually worked. I grabbed my camera real quick and took a few action shots. I just loved this one where she looked up at me so I had to scrap it.

Take a look at how the Trick or Treat scrapbooking layout came together

Gather your favorite Midnight Haunting ot combination of Halloween supplies. I used at least 6 different patterned papers, maybe even more, plus stickers and my electronic die cutting machine.

Make a super-sized Trick or Treat statement using your favorite font, or download one from your cutting machine’s store, like I did. Design the page in the die cut software to make sure everything fits just right and then you can do one of two things…..1, cut the letters from the background paper or 2, cut each letter from your patterned paper of choice. I chose option 1.

After choosing option 1, I hand cut papers to add to the back of the page, shifting them around until I felt the patterns were evenly distributed. You can see that I just have them placed under each letter. I’ll trim them up as I adhere them to the back of the paper.

Make it stand out!

I wanted the words to POP so I traced around each of the letters and what a difference that made!

Since I was doing a Halloween layout about my Archer Girl, I added a fun arrow-like design to the page, where there was a big open gap. It filled the space perfectly and really tied the photo better to the page. The arrow I selected had openings in the feather tips so I added a couple of patterns there too.

Add your finishing touches

Next, I added my photo and embellishments, placing a few butterflies and stars scattered here and there.

So, this Halloween, will you ask her for an archery trick or give her a treat?

Happy Halloween Cards with Midnight Haunting

Hi, Renee here again with a few more Happy Halloween Cards using the Midnight Haunting collection. These cards are quick and simple to create if you are in a hurry to give cards to teachers, friends, or family.

All three cards are a standard A6 in size which measure 4 ½” x 6 ¼”. I cut-up the Hocus Pocus pattern paper and added a few of my favorite pieces to the front of this card.

I added orange Hemp Twine for the finishing touch to this Happy Halloween card.

Quick and simple to make and I love looking at the different fonts and sayings and décor.

After layering both sides of the Creepy Crawly pattern papers, I added the “EEK!” Bootiful Thickers Sticker to the center of the card.

A spider die-cut crawling along the spider web finishes off this card.

My favorite of the three Happy Halloween cards is this “Boo!” card. I layered the Eyes On You pattern paper with the black cardstock.

The Mini Puffy Sticker eyes are the best! This was such a fun card to make!

Hi Pebbles buddies! It’s Wendy Sue here again, sharing some fun Halloween cards with you! I just can’t get enough of this year’s amazing Halloween collection, so I’m trying to use up every last bit of it. I thought I’d put together some pretty Halloween cards for some neighbors. These cards are quick and easy to whip up in only six steps! Take a peek, then keep reading to see how easy they are!

Start with a few simple rectangles. One for the base, one slightly smaller, then two more that are approximately 3″ x 4″ in size.

Now just stack them up and glue them down!

Build a little tag accent to add the card. Here’s what you’ll need:

And here’s the completed tag:

Just add it to the stacked rectangles with foam adhesive:

And place the entire piece on a card base:

Wasn’t that SO easy?!?

Repeat:

And repeat again:

For as many times as you want – it gets easier and faster every time!

Happy Halloween!!

Hello Pebbles fans, it’s Monique here today sharing a “quick gift” project using the Midnight Haunting collection. If someone asks me what kind of gift I would like to receive most, I’ll always say a book as I’m a huge book lover! Every free minute I have is either spent scrapping or reading. So it goes without saying that one of my favorite gifts to create is a bookmark! For lovers of thrillers, detectives or mysteries I created this set of three scary bookmarks:
