Halloween Party Fun

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I love throwing Halloween parties. It’s fun to decorate the house and invite people over whether its a pumpkin carving party or a Halloween costume party. Of course, part of the fun is creating some party favors to help set the mood. Here is what I came up with using the This is Family collection that Jen Hadfield designed …

Even though this collection is not Halloween based, the colors of the pattern papers have a Fall air about them and I had no problems making them work. The kids will get a kick out of these pumpkin treat bags. I used a svg cut file from SVGcuts called Barn Party. These treat bags could be filled with candy or even popcorn. A clear acetate sheet let’s you see just what treats are inside.

I also spray painted the outside of some pint sized mason jars to look like candy corn. A trick here to prevent overspray is to wrap some scrap paper around the jar and affix with a rubber binder. I spray painted my jars with the opening face down to prevent getting any paint inside the jar.

Once the paint was dry I cut faces from black vinyl to adhere to them.

Box cards make great table decor on your buffet table. This Jack-In-The-Box black cat isn’t too scary. I have a couple of black cats that I took in as strays so it was hard to resist making this one. This svg cut file is also from SVGcuts and is called Halloween Box Cards. It does fold flat in case you wanted to mail it.

I hope this gives you some ideas if you are planning on throwing a Halloween party. This Is Family papers and embellishments are sold through American Crafts. You can also get the This Is Family collection at JoAnn Fabric Stores!

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today, sharing some quick Halloween boxes made with the “This Is Family” papers.

I love to create Halloween treat boxes, I think they are a great handmade gift for someone special! These boxes are very simple and the best part is that you don’t need any special Halloween supplies to create them!

To create these flip top boxes, start by cutting a 9 2/8 x 6 7/8 inch patterned paper. Score it on the long side at 1/2 inch, 3 5/8 inch, 4 7/8 inch and 8 inches. Next, rotate the paper and score on the short side at 1 1/4 inch, 4 3/8 inch and 5 5/8 inches.

Score all the lines and cut the two left section of your box. Cut the lines you see on yellow and score the ones you see on orange.

Assemble your box by gluing the lids. You can use some sharp scissors to cut a triangle on the side of the lid.

Halloween Treat Bags

Hey everyone it’s Michelle here today sharing a fun and easy Halloween project. I don’t get many trick or treaters at my house so I wanted to do something special for the few that do come. I found these cute little treat bag cut files in the Silhouette store. They were just what I was looking for!

These bags took no time at all to make. It probably took me longer to figure out what papers to use than to actually make them. I used the This is Family and Chasing Adventure collections on these.

I love that floral black and white paper for the witch’s hat!

My daughter told me my pumpkin looked like an orange. lol It’s still cute though!

I think this one is my favorite. I love that purple bow!

I can’t wait to fill these with little treats!

Thanks for stopping by!

Trick Or Treat Pumpkins Layout with Amanda!

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Welcome back for more Spooky Boo inspiration!

Amanda here, & today I am sharing my take on this week’s pumpkins theme! It’s super cute & fun!

“Trick Or Treat: Boo!”

Eeek! Isn’t this the cutest for Halloween?! Totally Spook-tacular! & just check out all those amazing pumpkins!

And here’s how easy it is to recreate this page….

1. Mount an 11″ x 11″ sheet of white cardstock onto pattern paper, Sweet Tooth.

2. Use your digital cutting machine to cut out the Paige Evans’ Pumpkin Wreath cut file in white cardstock. Back the pumpkins with pattern papers Hocus Pocus, & the reverse side of Sweet Tooth. Leave a few of the cut pumpkins ‘open’ and without any backing, too.

3. Use watercolor paints to outline a few orange & yellow circles in the center of the background, as shown above. Add a few tiny splatters for interest.

4. While the paint dries, attach your spooky Halloween photograph to the Pumpkin Wreath cut file.

5. Position wreath onto the background paper and painted circles, then glue into place.

6. Embellish the photo cluster (& bottom right quadrant of the layout) with Cardstock Shapes die cuts, and 6 x 12 Accent Stickers. You’ll spy lots of pumpkins here too!

7. Continue to embellish this quadrant with more stickers, including the fabulous Spooky Boo Puffy Stickers.

8. Use the Maggie Thickers to add a title – BOO! & add a few more Puffy Stickers for good measure!

Voila!

A really BOO-tiful Halloween memory documented, and featuring all.the.pumpkin.things!!!

Here’s a few close ups for you….

Pure pumpkin perfection!!!

I just adore the the super cute mummy and skeleton Accent Stickers here – adorable!

SO much spooky fun!

I hope I have inspired you to document your Halloween memories with our fabulous Spooky Boo! collection.

Thanks so much for visiting,

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo

Hello everyone! It’s Eva Pizarro on the blog today sharing with you some fun treat boxes made with the new Spooky Boo line from Pebbles.

alt text: Create a fun set of treat boxes for this Halloween with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new #SpookyBoo line from @pebblesinc

We always have candy for the kids during Halloween but I always like to give my closest friends some treat boxes during Halloween. These ones are perfect because they are easy, fun and you can make them in just a few minutes.

Start with a 6-inch x 8 1/2 inch paper and use your Trim and Score Board to score at 2, 4, 6 and 8 inches on the long side. And 2, 4, 5.5 inches on the short side.

Cut the bottom lines and trim the piece of paper you see on the left (I traced the lines with blue so you can see them better)

Place a bit of glue to your tab and close the box in half to adhere the tab to the other end of the box.

Next, add a bit more glue to the bottom of the box and close all four sides.

Finally, take the tops and close them like a milk carton using a clip.

To decorate my boxes I used some stickers, die cuts and those cut spiders! You can also cut a patterned paper that has tags and use them to embellish your boxes!

Now all you have to do is fill the boxes, I used sweets for these photos but you can add some good chocolates, I am sure everybody is going to appreciate that Halloween treat!

And here are all my boxes done, they are cute and very easy to make. You can give them to coworkers or also put names and use them as place cards for a Halloween party, that would be fun!
