Spellbinders Halloween Cupcake Toppers

Hello! Today, I am sharing a papercrafting project – cupcake toppers created with the Spellbinders Open House Boo! set, part of their Halloween Collection. The cupcakes are pumpkin spice!

Die-cut bats, ghosts, and cat with dies in the Open House Boo! set from Snowdrift cardstock and glitter cardstock (Stampin’ Up black glitter). Die-cut sentiments twice each for dimension. Assemble pieces as required.
Die-cut 2-inch circles (with the detail and outline dies) from colored paper (Echo Park Halloween Magic) using the Essential Circles set (back with Onyx cardstock circles).
Attach elements to circles; attach circles to wooden skewers. Add to cupcakes!

Looking for more inspiration? I previously shared cards created with these products here.

Spellbinders – Halloween Candy Container

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I am sharing a Halloween candy container created with the Spellbinders Hexagon Petal Box from the Blooming Garden Collection by Marisa Job. The set contains eight dies to create a six-sided box. While I kept my Halloween-themed container simple, there are many variations possible with this set (as you will see on the product link).

I used one of the set’s dies to cut the base from orange cardstock, another die to create the side pieces (also from the orange cardstock), and a third die to cut the decorative pieces (cut from the polka dot paper). I applied the decorative pieces before attaching the side pieces to the base. The side piece die scores and cuts, making the creation of the box extremely easy! Trick or Treat!

TE August 2018 Release Sneak Peeks – Scary and Sweet

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions August 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. The new release features Halloween and fall-themed stamps, dies, and other supplies including stencils, patterned paper, and two new TE colors! Today, my projects have a Halloween focus. The August 2018 release products being sneaked this week will be available Thursday, August 2 @ 7 AM PDT!

My first projects showcase the Under Wraps – Vampire and Under Wraps – Ghost sets. These sets are a fun way to package Halloween candy!

I stamped the faces from the the Under Wraps – Vampire set and then die-cut the body, adding the die-cut hair and shoes (too cute!) The set includes a die to cut a strip in to which you can slip the candy.

Similarly, for the ghosts, I stamped the faces from the Under Wraps – Ghost set and cut the bodies with the die.

Supplies:

Who doesn’t like to receive fun mail?! My second project is a Halloween card created with the Bubble Greetings – Halloween set and a Mail Art envelope stamped with the Spooky Mail set.

I heat-embossed the Bubble Greetings-Halloween on Sugar Cube cardstock. I heat-embossed the stamp again on Playful Patterns – Haunted patterned papers, which I fussy-cut and adhered to the panel.
I added a frame cut from Oreo cardstock with the Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 set.
I created a card base with paper in the Playful Patterns – Black & White set to which I added my panel.
To add sparkle and color, I adhered Build a Scene Halloween Sequins to the panel.
I stamped the Spooky Mail images on to a Toffee envelope and colored the images with colored pencil.
To dress up the envelope, I cut a liner from the Playful Patterns – Haunted patterned paper with the Scalloped Envelope Liner.

TE December 2017 Release – Unique Valentine’s Day Packaging

Hello! Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions December 2017 Release Sneak Peeks. This month the products are Valentine-themed and will be released Thursday, December 7 @ 7 AM PST! Today, I am sharing two unique Valentine’s Day packaging ideas!

My first project features the Matchy Matchy – Foodie Friends stamp set (with coordinating dies) designed to work with the previously released Matchbox set.

I used the Matchbox die to create the matchbox from both solid cardstock and Playful Patterns – Valentine patterned paper. I stamped, colored and cut the cute taco images from Matchy Matchy – Foodie Friends and added them to a dry-embossed panel for the front of the match box. I stamped the punny sentiment for the interior and added a few hearts cut with the Little Bits – Hearts set.

Supplies:

My second project features the All Tucked In die which creates fun treat packaging. I used the die to create boxes for chocolate squares cut from the Playful Patterns – Valentines patterned paper .

Several I tied with twine and added stamped tags using Mini Tags and Let’s Talk Sentiments. One I embellished with a ribbon cut with the Mini Mix & Match Bows set. It is easy to add patterned paper to the inside of the box as well! This month, Taylored Expressions has a promotion for this die (details included at the end of this post).
