I finally pulled out the Fireside Trimmings Bundle (Fireside Trimmings stamp set and Fireside Dies) thinking I would make a Christmas card, but when I saw the pumpkins and the bat banner, I knew I had to go all Halloween with it. Except for a couple of touches of Cherry Cobbler (blood color?) the entire card is in black and grays.

Welcome to the September 2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Hello Pumpkin, and it makes the most adorable little treat holders. I used the pieces fro the kit to make a card and a little treat box. My treat box is 4 sided, which is different from the 5 sided one designed by Stampin’ Up! for the kit. I started by popping out all the die cut pieces from their sheets, including all the diamond shapes from the treat holders, saving everything. I used Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but you can certainly use the Dimensionals and Glue Dots that came in the kit.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops, so you don’t miss any of the great projects this group has made for you!

Cut using Paper Snips:
- halved a small banner for behind the card sentiment
Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:

- NOTE: I started with the Old Olive and Mossy Meadow markers, since those are the greens in the kit, but I thought the dark Shaded Spruce showed up better against the black cat
Colored using a Sponge Dauber:
- bottom edges of the box top in Cajun Craze
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the Whisper White Thick card base with a Bone Folder
- faint pencil lines drawn onto the Whisper White CS layer, vertical lines 3/4″ apart and horizontal lines 1-1/2″ apart

- green rhinestone applied onto the cat using the Take Your Pick tool
- cat adhered onto the card front above the sentiment using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- small pumpkin die cut adhered onto the card front, next to the cat, using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
Assembled the treat box:

- end flaps folded in and glued together one at a time to form the top
- a diamond and a black curly piece glued onto the back of a small pumpkin, then glued onto the front of the box lid
- NOTE: Since the box and the lid are the same size (width) it helps to squeeze the top of the box a little bit to get the lid over the top.

Sep 16, 2020 | Autumn, Bags, Blog Hop, Food, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Halloween, Holiday, Tags |
Welcome to the September 2020 Inking Royalty Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects are all about Halloween. I used the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set, Essential Tag Punch, and Fancy Label Punch to create tags for this cute and scary little treat bag. The candies inside are Bloody Bones Sweet Tarts Candy. Ooooooo spooky! You can buy them here.
Prepare yourself for a wonderful mix of spooky, scary and sweet. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person, Ann Murray at Murray Stamps Ink, on the list you can see when you scroll down. Be sure to hop around to ALL the stops, because you definitely want to see all the projects this group has created for you!

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set:
- raven in cage in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Real Red CS
Cut using the Essential Tag Punch:
- stamped image and sentiment
Cut using the Label Me Fancy Punch:
- a hole in the top of each tag
- NOTE: I found it a little difficult to line up the punch exactly where I wanted it, so I drew a tiny dot on the tags where I wanted to punch, then positioned each tag so I could see the dot through the hole in the punch. Easy Peasy!
Put it all together:
- put candies in a Mpsaic Gusseted Cellophane Bag and tied the top with a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
- black and white twine run through the 2 tags and tied around the top of the bag, tying a small bow in the back
- For the photo, I glued the tags together so you could see both at the same time. You can leave them loose if you prefer.

My husband and I have a Halloween party every year, and this year’s theme was going to be “What’s black and white and red all over?” Unfortunately we had to cancel it this year. But I just realized as I was typing this post that those are the colors of my project today. I’m sure that fact was floating around in the back of my brain somewhere as I made the tags.
