Halloween

Double Pizza box

October 31, 2023

Hi, Marjolijn here. Today It’s my time to show you something I made. It’s a double pizza box, it can hold just a little more! And of course I made it in Halloween style!!!

I made the closure with a strip that I stamped on. Then tie a string around it and the spider keeps everything together.

The new Florals collection is so beautiful, I am in love with the pine cones! The berries were given a layer of glossy accents. With a little sisal in between it makes it just a little more alive. The lantern is not from E.C.D. but from my own collection. The text is made with the alphabet from the Art journal collection.

With a spider web in the top corner, no E.C.D either, and the mushrooms from Annette Green’s collection, it is really finished.

The box contains wonderful mood makers with a nice scent. And how did I turn it into a double box?

Well, that’s actually quite simple…

Die cut 2 boxes. I used a 12″ x 12″ sheet of cardstock.

For one box, cut the edge on the long side at the score line. Place double-sided tape on the long side of the other box. Unfortunately I don’t have the right size E.C.D. tape.

Punch a circle from one box for the view, this is of course an option because it is not necessary, without a window is also possible.

Remove the protective tape and apply some glue so that you can still slide a little.

Stick the box together, I cut off the flaps otherwise the box will be very thick in those places and you won’t need them.

Then you ink the box on the score lines both on the inside and on the outside. If you don’t like that, you can also omit this step.

Stick a piece of acetate on the inside.

And then you can decorate the box inside and out with design paper. I used the thin paper from Esther’s book for this, the thick paper is too thick, it won’t look nice.

By also giving the edges a layer of design paper you can hide the places where everything is put together.

The inside is fully decorated.

And the outside, you can decorate the box as you like. You can use it for all kinds of purposes, just like the small pizza box. Even to store larger die-cut parts if you like.

I hope you enjoyed today’s double pizza box project and will give it a try. Thanks for your visit 🙂

Love,

Marjolijn

The Witching Hour

October 16, 2023

Hello everyone, Jackie here. With Halloween just around the corner I thought I would share a spooktacular fun card with you all. The monster collection is one of my favourites and this little monster has been turned in to a pumpkin monster!

Step One:

Cut a panel of patterned paper measuring 3.75 x 5″ (9.52 x 12.7cm) and pop it up on to a top folding A2 (42 x 59.4cm) card blank using 3d foam pads. Die cut or scissor cut a circle of vellum that fits neatly on the panel and fix in place with a few pieces of double sided tape. Ensure to place the tape where it cant be seen.

Step Two:

Die cut all the pieces for the pumpkin monster including the stem part from set Festive Harvest – 2080. Ink around all the edges then trim a small piece from the top of the monsters head before adding the stem to the top.

Step Three:

Build the witch as normal using whatever colours you would like then attach the two characters’ to the card front.

Step Four:

Die cut a panel of grass from the slimline adventure edges die set – 1925 then trim it down to a thin strip. Next die cut a border from everyday elements lace borders – 2022. Glue the two together at a slightly crooked angle then fix under and in between the feet of the characters’

Step Five:

Finish off by attaching the stamped sentiment towards the bottom of the card using 3d foam pads.

Well that’s it for today, thank you for stopping by and I hope you have enjoyed my post. Until next time Happy crafting – Jackie x

Magic Halloween

September 29, 2023

Hi It is Els here with a new Blogpost. I love Halloween so I decided to make a Halloween card this time. I hope you will enjoy it and give it a try. I will place the images on my blog!

Finished card.

These are all the part you need.

Cut a piece of black paper at 71/2 – 11 and fold in half, your card is then 5 1/2 – 71/2. The striped paper is 51/4-71/4. The purple is 5-7 and I used the edge die to cut it on both sides. I cut a label out of the paper ( the one with the 2023). Distress the edges, and Ink them. Then glue them on top of each other.

Cut Flowers, leaves, and a spiral roll, then shape the flowers, and glue them together, now you can put some stamen in, and I did some copper cream on it to let them shine.

Place the cute scarecrow, and then you can place the flowers.

When you placed all the flowers, you can adhere that cute little wizard and his broom. He can sit on top of the flowers. Place a pumpkin and some black Mica flakes to finish it. I cut the spiral rolls and when you roll them up you make those roses. On my blog I will place the Images I used and the template for the rose.

Pumpkins garland

August 30, 2023

I suspect you know by now I love slingshots. Nice to make, to hang and to give as a gift. And sometimes you suddenly have inspiration to make even those nice garlands even more fun, like this one.

This one has lights in it. I now have a lot of those light garlands that you buy at the garden center around Christmas and I thought, how nice is it to make a garland for Halloween with pumpkins and lights in it. But then I thought, that’s also nice for fall, so no Halloween additions to this one, there will probably be another one, and Christmas and who knows what else but for now, Clear and Simple, just pumpkins with lights! I used these beautiful pumpkins from Annette’s Everyday Elements collection. They are currently only available at your local craft store, but very soon on the Elizabeth Craft Designs website as well.

This is how it hangs on my door in the hobby room. And at night the lights are on.

First I punched 20 pumpkins, 10 of each.

They are all colored with distress ink. NB!! 5 in the front and 5 in the back.

So beautiful right? Also nice to put in a bowl.

I glued the light in between with 2 pieces of foam tape.

Then some glue around it and the other pumpkin in mirror image stuck on it.

The edges received an extra layer of tea dye distress ink for the finish. And then the garland is ready.

It seems like quite a job, but I came up with this in the morning at 7 o’clock and at 11 o’clock my

pendulum was ready. And I also had to shower, get dressed and have breakfast of course, so with about 4 hours you also have such a nice garland with lights and you can of course vary endlessly with it.

Hopefully I have inspired you to make something fun for fall or Halloween .

Thank you for visiting,

With love,

Marjolijn.

Making a start to my October Planner!

September 29, 2022

Hi all, thank you for joining me with todays blog post. Fall and Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year so I wanted to create this fun title page to start my month of October and nothing says October like Pumpkins, leaves and an owl witch. So grab a Pumpkin Spice Latte and lets begin!

Step 1: Cut out your images ( I used a lot of different sets from Joset’s collection see sets below) from your favorite cardstock and ink the edges with distress ink.

Next cut out your planner page and ink blend them with Black Soot, Villainous Potion and Shaded Lilac as per the picture above.

I sprinkled my page with water and dabbed it with a paper towel and set it aside to dry.

Once the page is dry I attached my tree and pop-dotted my owl. Next, add your spiders web, pumpkin and pop-dot your Jack-o’-lantern. Add your leaves, spider and your October title. Last step is to speckle with white heavy body paint.

Thank you for joining me today and have a crafty happy day!

Scary Parrot

September 22, 2022

Hello every one! It’s me Alice, today it’s my turn to show you a creation. I choise this time for a combination with a touch of Halloween and a boys theme.

I made this time the Parrot in a Pirate outfit and some Halloween stuff. The Parrot is making some green food for his spider friends and the for the bats.

The parrot I colored with different colors distress ink. Love it to use a lote of colors. And this theme is perfect for that.

On the background a made some clouds with a mask stencil and also some distress ink. This time I choise for some purple clouds.

On the background between the palm trees there is a spiderweb from the little friend of the parrot. The are playing at the beace. Waiting of the diner the parrot is making. In the air the bats are flying and waiting also on the dinner.

In the front a stamp with the cute text you’re so cool it’s scary. How lovely is this card for a boy. Or a cool girl ofcours.

Hope you like this card and see you next time!

Mummy Treat Box

September 16, 2022

Hello crafty friends, it’s Summer Hills-Painter here. As Halloween approaches, it is time for me to start preparing class party favors. Here is a fun project that I came up with   

Preparation: 

Cut 1 Carrot Box from black cardstock. Randomly tear strips of white cardstock. Cut eyes from the Monster 1 die set. Die cut a label from the Planner Essentials – Halloween 3  

Instructions: 
Using a light grey ink, ink the edges of the torn cardstock strips. I prefer to use the rough edge of the cardstock as it gives a more clothlike appearance  

On the treat box glue your eyes to the box, this will help with knowing where the strips will go in the next step 

Randomly adhere the inked cardstock strips to one of the Carrot Box pieces. Make sure to cross the strips in different directions and trim off the excess 

Adhere the die cut sentiment over the hole in the top of the box  

Attach the other piece of the Carrot Box and voila, a super cute mummy treat box. Even the eyes from Monster 3 works well too.

Spooky!

October 24, 2021

Hello and Welcome! One of my favourite reason why I love playing with dies (especially background dies) is how versatile they can be. Here I’m using the Spider Web Slimline Background die angled to create an A6 card. I’m using heaps of colour to contrast it against the black spiders and the angle of the card draws you into the spiders! Here’s how I made it…

Card Instructions:

Step 1: Adhere clear double sided adhesive to the back of several coloured pieces of card stock.

Step 2: Die cut the slimline die, repeat this for the remaining coloured pieces of card stock.

TIP: To avoid wastage think of other layouts that you could use the remaining die cuts for. As you are die cutting the slimline die 5-6 times, there is potential to create many more cards!

Step 3: Remove the adhesive backing and adhere the outline of the web to an A6 card front. Next, use the negative die cuts from the other pieces of paper, remove the adhesive backing, and adhere these in place as shown in the image below.

TIP: Adhering clear double sided adhesive to the back of each card stock before die cutting, save you time (and glue)!

Step 4: Continue to do this until all the negative space has been filled. Trim any excess over lapping card stock.

Step 5: Die cute 5x spiders. Adhere clear jewelry thread (15cm long) to the back of two spiders, add a foam dot, and then adhere another spider to hide the thread on the spider.

Step 6: Take the thread and adhere it to the back of your card front as shown below. Next adhere your card front to an A6 card base.

Step 7: Stamp the sentiment, die cut and adhere to the card front. Embellish the card, with enamel dots and adhere the last spider to the card front.

As you can see below the very spooky spiders can dangle making this a very simple interactive card perfect for Halloween or anyone who loves creepy crawlies!

Happy Crafting!

Halloween Pizza Box

October 6, 2021

This fun pizza box has a shaker box on top with all kinds of scary critters, ghosts and other Halloween shaker material in it. That’s nice of course, especially to treat children, a toy and in the box….A trick are a treat????

On the boxes I glued the scarecrow from Esther’s new collection.

The inside is also decorated.

Of course there is something delicious in it but even that looks very spooky!!!

Below is a small workshop of how I made the box.

The box is punched out of purple cardstock.

Gathered some shaking material.

For the top and the inside of Halloween box I used design paper (I don’t remember which brand it is but very old). Die cut with the dies of the pizza box.

The stamps are also part of Esther’s collection and you can play with them and make a ticket according to your own idea!

The edge received a layer of double-sided tape of 3 mm

Stick a piece of mica on it and then strips of foam tape, also of 3 mm, along the edges. I cut it myself. TIP from Els.

You now have a raised edge so that the shaker material will have room to move later.

I decorated the edges of the box both on the inside and the outside with distress ink.

The piece of design paper that I stuck on the top first got some nice stamps. The spider web is from my own collection.

Then stick the piece with mica on it, leave the strip of the foam tape on the top so you can fill the shaker box with the shaker material.

If everything is to your liking, remove the strip from the foam tape and stick the shaker box firmly to the box, pressing the edges well.

Then you can decorate the inside according to your own idea.

When the box has been completely processed on the inside and outside you can stick the scarecrow on it with glue. If you prefer to use tape, be careful not to cover the entire scarecrow with tape, because it sticks a bit over the box.

The edges of my box also got a decorative layer, you can use strips of design paper for that. I made strips with an impresslits from Tim Holtz and inked them with distress ink.

I had so much fun creating this box. I have already made 2, this is the other one.

For the other one I just used white cardstock and edited it with stamps and a stencil from the Art collection with the bird’s feet.

Bring on Halloween!

Happy Harvest Tri-fold card

September 30, 2021

Hello everyone, it’s Alice here. Today I want to show you how to create this fun Happy Harvest tri-fold card using some brand new dies from the Halloween collection designed by Joset. As a base for the 3 panels I used the Planner Essentials Die 1868, Shapes, Frames & Words. On the background I made some clouds with a mask stencil and Distress Ink Oxide (Tumbles glass). For the panels I also used Planner Essential Die 1868 and some beautiful paper from Bella BLVD that are fantastic for Fall and Halloween projects.

I made a fence on all three panels. This one is from the Adventure Edges 2 set. The fences are cut from White Soft Finish cardstock and colored with Ground espresso Distress Ink. Exactly 5 posts of the fence fit on each panel.

I added a corn stalk on the outer 2 panels also cut from White Soft Finish cardstock and colored with Mustard seed and Crushed olive Distress Ink. For the roots I used Vintage photo.

In the middle I used the very cute scarcrow. For this one I used many different colors Distress Ink. All the colors I used you can see on the picture below.

I added the Happy Harvest sentiment just in front of the scarecrow. I stamps the sentiment on a little piece of White Soft Finish cardstock that I colored with Rusty hinge Distress Ink.

I added some leaves to each panel for decoration. I used the leave dies that are included in the Turkey die set for this.

Below you can see the finished card one more time. I hope that I inspired you with this project and I hope that you will have just as much fun with the new Halloween collection as I did. It’s so cool to combine all the different dies!
