Not-So-Scary Halloween Treats

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to share a cute Halloween gift idea using the 3D Candy Corn Jack O’Lantern (SVG, Silhouette) with a coordinating card, the A2 Halloween Card Ghost (SVG, Silhouette). I know I am sure to make someone smile this Halloween with this adorable duo.

This cute candy corn has a lid that opens so you can fill it with candy corns or other small candies.  The candy corn is about 3″ tall and 2.5″ wide at its widest point when you use the original file size.  However, you could increase the size to about 3.5″ x 4″ if you turn the box base diagonal, and the base would still fit on a 12X12 piece of Cardstock.  You can see the size difference in the image below (bottom candy corn is the original file size).  If you decide to enlarge the file, just be sure to increase all the pieces at the same time to keep the ratios the same.

For the card, I used patterned paper from Lori’s Halloween Magic collection for the card base.  I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to place inside the card, so I would have a place to write my sentiments since the patterned paper was double-sided.  I used foam tape on the ghost, moon, and jack o’lantern to give the card some dimension. This adorable card that folds flat and fits in the included A2 envelope.

 

There are just a few of the Halloween boxes and cards available in the shop.  Be sure to check out Lori’s selection of treat boxes and cards for all your holiday needs.

Until next time,

Halloween Scene Décor Tutorial

Welcome to Tutorial Thursday.  Lori as added several Halloween scenes to the shop.  Most of the collection are just a single color.  The one I’m sharing today uses multiple colors in the extra pieces and is slightly larger than the single color versions. You can find it in Lori’s SVG Shop and Silhouette store. It’s fun and easy to put together, I’ve outlined the steps below.

1. Cut all the pieces.  Each panel needs two 12×12 sheets.  I used black for the back of the panel and gray for the top layer.  You can use the same color for the panels too.

2. Now assemble each panel. Start with the back panel, layer the front panel.  Then add the Halloween pieces.

3. Apply adhesive to the glue tab and connect two panels together.

4. Attach the third panel.

5.  This is such a fun décor piece.  It’s just under 12 inches tall and 20 inches wide.

 

Have a great day!
