My little pumpkin bag - Lettering Delights

I just love seeing the Halloween displays in the shops, so I thought I would create quick, easy toppers for some orange party bags I have had in my stash for a couple of years.  I created the toppers using the LD Pumpkin Patch - CS.  I like to use the Cut It files as I can Print and Cut them out using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine, OR I can cut out all the
elements and  paperpiece them.

The LD Pumpkin Patch - CS have a selection of pumpkins to create simple projects for scrapbooking, planners, parties and more.

For speed I created some 2 1/2 inch circles using my software and added a dashed border.  I then imported the pumpkins from the LD Pumpkin Patch - CS and resized to fit inside my circle.  I then Print and Cut to create toppers for my bags........so simple.

You will see that I created a little Print and Cut tag using a file from the same Cut Set, so that the colours coordinated with the topper.  I save a ton of money from buying themed stamps that I might only use once or twice in a lifetime!

I added some pretty embellishments and my Halloween treats bags were completed.

Check out the release of the LD Pumpkin Patch collection HERE perfect for Halloween and Thanksgiving including graphics, cutting files, papers and fonts.

Finally, there is a FREE file up for grabs...print out this fun and FREE Out of Candy Sign to hang on your door when all the candy is gone, available until next Thursday at midnight, MST.

Halloween Treat Bag Printables

I love this time of the year as it gives me a chance to make all sorts of small gifts for the kids which they love.  Pop them into their lunch boxes and it always brings a smile to their face!  These treat bag printables are super easy to make.  I imported them into my Pazzles software and resized them to fit the little cello plastic bags to hold my pumpkin chocolates.  I then simply printed from my software and used a paper trimmer to cut along the straight lines.  I used a scoring tool along 

the marked fold lines.

 You could make a ton of these very quickly!

Halloween Gift Jar

I love all the little gifts you can make for Halloween and they don't need to be expensive BUT they do need to have the colour orange in them!!!  For my Halloween gift  I have filled a glass jar with little sweet pumpkins.  

I have added a Happy Halloween sticker from SRM stickers which I layered onto orange and black cardstock, then inserted it into the top of my jar.

I have also used the Happy Halloween border from the same sticker sheet which I have wrapped around the rim of the jar.

I found this strange little pumpkin that I was sort of taken to.  It is included in the LD Superstition - Cut It set for your cutting machines.

LD Superstition - Cut It Set

  I cut some orange and white cardstock and used vinyl to add the black layer.  

I was super excited to see how well my Inspiration Vue cutting machine cut out the fine detail using black vinyl.

Halloween Tea Light Holders

 

I thought I better post this today otherwise Halloween will soon be over.  I made this weeks ago using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine and then completely forgot to post it!  So here goes.

I bought these wooden Tea Light Holders recently and thought I would have a go at decorating them.  I discarded the NOEL wooden letters and have saved them for a future project.

I painted the the wooden boxes using black paint. As I am just starting out at painting wooden items, I do not want to spend a ton of money on specialised paints so, I bought some tester pots of paints from my DIY store, in order that I can experiment.  I like to cover a kitchen plate with foil for my paint palette and then I can just unravel the foil and toss it in the bin when I am finished.  I used a cheap sponge from my local store which I cut up into a manageable size.

I also like to wear disposable gloves for my painting project to reduce the mess!  Basically, dab or wipe the black paint using the sponge all over the wooden Tea Light Holders.

Whilst the wooden items are drying I started to measure my holder.  Using my Pazzles software I drew a box the exact size of the holder.  I then selected in-line which gave me a smaller square for my paper cuts.

Using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine enabled me to very quickly cut out 12 squares of patterned paper ready for me to decorate the Tea Light Holders.

I used my double sided tape to adhere the paper to my box, but for a longer lasting hold you may want to use glue.

I distressed the edges of each of the patterned squares.

Then, I cut out the vinyl lettering and pumpkin shape and adhered them onto my boxes.

I weeded the shapes and used my tool to remove the vinyl.

In the above photo I have laid a piece of contact paper over the vinyl and used my Pazzles tool to ensure a good adhesion.

I simply used the contact paper to transfer the vinyl cut outs onto each of the wooden Tea Light Holders.

After, I had taken the photo I decided to sand down the edges of the the black boxes to give more definition, so you will have to use your imagination!

I then placed the battery Tea Lights into the wooden holders.
