I don’t usually give cards on Halloween but I do like to give treats that are packaged in a cute way. I wanted a box that would fit a mini package of Rolos and this is the box I created.
The base of the box is made with Basic Black and the cover that wraps around is Happy Haunting DSP. I just purchased the Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon – what was I waiting for??? It is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a little hard to tell in the photo but my sentiment sits on top of our Black Glimmer paper.
Watch the video to see how to create this box!
If you place a minimum $25 order this month using the host code – GU6J472B– at my Stampin’ Up! online store, I’ll send you the materials to make this kit along with two other projects. You’ll just need to provide your own ink, adhesive and stamps. Click here for more details!
Purchasing Framelits or Thinlits for your Big Shot can be a big investment and it’s nice when you discover multiple ways to use them. The new Mini Treat Bag Thinlits in the Annual Catalog make a cute treat bag. Today’s video from Stampin’ Up! shows you another sized bag that you can make with them!

Today’s project is one of my monthly ordering specials this month. With a minimum $25 order at my Stampin’ Up! online store, you’ll receive all the materials needed to make my Bat Pillow Box along with two more projects. You’ll just need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamps (I cannot send stamped images per Stampin’ Up! policy). For more details on the Monthly Ordering Specials, click here!
Using the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies makes this a very quick project to put together. I placed a window sheet across the opening of the box because isn’t it fun to get a glimpse of what’s inside? The “window” is included in the die set! I placed a glue dot on each corner of the window sheet which will keep it firmly in place. I used the stamp set Cheer All Year to stamp my bat which I then fussy cut as we don’t have a punch or thinlit for him (I wish we did). Using a purple Sharpie, I colored two rhinestones for his eyes.

I am a few days late posting my projects for the ordering special this month! Please note that I’ve tweaked the program – sometimes you just have to try something out to get it just right, so be sure to read the details below!
Please note: Two of the projects this month use Happy Haunting DSP. Your kit will include paper from this package but not necessarily the designs in the samples below.
The projects include a Candy Matchbox, a Gum Holder and a Square Pillow Box.

I designed the Matchbox so that this size candy would fit inside

You just need to supply adhesive, ink and stamped images. I am unable to send stamped images per Stampin’ Up! policy. You can purchase the stamp set I’ve used or use a stamp set you already own.
I’ll post a video tutorial on my blog for at least one of the three projects each month.
I’ll feature each project throughout the first two weeks of the month along with a PDF of the supplies and cutting instructions.

My granddaughter turned three on Friday and we had a family get together on Saturday to celebrate! My mom and sister drove down on Wednesday and left yesterday. We had fun being together and we were busy every day! It is always so sad when family leaves. My daughter sent this to me and it sure does put the sadness into perspective.
I haven’t been in my craft room for days but today I have a card that I made several weeks ago for a friend. It’s hard to tell in the picture but I used Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point for the layers and I sponged the flowers with both of these colors as well. The butterfly is also made from Rich Razzleberry using the Bold Butterfly Framelits. I used one of our new embossing folders in the annual catalog called Elegant Dots.
I used the Petite Petals punch and the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. Sponge Daubers were used to add ink to the edges of the flowers and I finished them off with a pearl in each center (I used two different sizes).
My sentiment is from the host set Best Thoughts.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I LOVE the new Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies in the Holiday Catalog. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this will be a product that carries over into the Annual Catalog. It is so easy to make this pillow box and it’s very roomy inside.
I didn’t decorate the front too much as I feel the paper is the star of the show (English Garden Designer Series Paper). It is a little hard to tell in the pictures above but when they are side by side you can see that they look a little bit different in size. The ribbon on the blue one doesn’t hold the box shut, you can open the ends and leave the ribbon on. The ribbon goes around the ends on the pink one and would need to be removed to open the box. I might do this if I was worried that the box might open.
Stay tuned in the next few days and I’ll have a video showing you how I created my pillow box. Here’s a PDF that includes a picture of the project and all of the supplies needed for both boxes that you can print or save for future reference: Happy Birthday Pillow Box Card Recipe
