Halloween 3D Treats

Do you make Halloween treats for your trick-or-treaters, co-workers, friends, neighbors, etc?  I do!  I have always enjoyed making a treat bag or box filled with candy bars for our trick-or-treaters instead of just tossing them a hand full of candy.   We don't have very many kids come through, so I make 20 bagx/boxes and I've never run out.  In fact, most years, we have less than 10.  :(  I also make treat bags for some friends and my pool teams.

To start off - I found two different style treat bags at the Dollar Tree and they are the perfect size for what I want to give to my friends.  The larger bags on the left actually have 15 bags included.  That number got cut off.  They hold a lot!  The smaller bags have 25, and they have a zip seal at the top!  

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

We're starting off with the smaller zipper-seal bags.  I love the zipper seals - otherwise, I'd have to staple or tape the bags shut.  I would only give the stapled bags to adults, but that's up to you.  So I made what we call a "Bag Topper" for this treat bag.  It's like a small card, folded in half and you glue it to the top of the bag.  You could add a panel to the bag if you wanted to write on it, but I did not.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Black:  4" x 5", scored at 2 1/2"
• Basic White:  2 1/4" x 3 3/4"

Stamp whatever you want across the front, and finish off with some embellishments.  I added some of the Black dots from the Bats, Ghosts, and Dots.

Stamps:  Web of Fun, Framed & Fabulous

Ink:  Timid Tiger, Basic Black, Onyx (Versafine)

Paper:  Basic Black, Basic White

Other:  Bats, Ghosts & Dots

My second project is using the larger treat bags, and I've just created a small tag for it.  If I were only going to make maybe 5 of these tags, I would stamp and hand-cut the witch hat so I could pop it up.  I think I need to make at least 15 of these though...so that's not happening.  I just stamped everything on the tag, and punched it out.

Use whatever fun stamps and colors that you have - remember, green and purple (even pink!) can be great Halloween colors.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic White:  scrap to punch out tag

I did not add any rhinestones or glitz to these, but you certainly could.

Stamps:  Design a Tag

Ink:  Basic Black, Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green

Paper:  Basic White

Other:  Advent Labels punch, Black & White Gingham ribbon

My third project is what I will hand out to our trick-or-treaters.  We always give out 3-4 full size candy bars, usually in a custom-sized box that I stamp all over.  Well, this year, I bought some different candy for the pile - Skittles - and it affected the size box that I would need.  I would have to use at the very least, a 10" x 10 1/2" piece of cardstock...not happening when I need to make 20 of these things!  So for the first time ever, I opted to use a WRAP.  

I taped my stack of candy together, so nothing will escape.  Then I stamped and wrapped the Two-Tone cardstock around the stack.  Taped it closed on the bottom.   Since I'm wrapping this around something that is not uniform, I do recommend that you use either the Frightfully Fun DSP or the Two-Tone cardstock.  Both of these papers are very flexible and won't leave crinkle marks when you wrap around your stack of candy.

I added a simple label using two circle punches.  I did add Clear Shimmer brush to the spider for some sparkles. 

Paper Measurements:

• Pumpkin Two-Tone cs:  3" x 8" (You can get FIVE out of one 12" x 12" sheet!)
• Basic Black:  2 1/4" circle
• Basic White:  2" circle

I used a retired greeting set for the "happy halloween", but if you don't have anything this size - take a look at the Soiree Salutations set that is currently available.  It's cute!  If I didn't still have my Teeny Tiny Wishes set, I would get this one.

Here's a look at the bottom - you can see the seam where the wrap comes together.  NORMALLY, I would have this seam on the front/top so that I could cover it up with whatever tag or label I was putting on the front.  Well...my label this time wouldn't cover it across the 3" wide wrap, so I sucked it up and have the seam on the bottom.  I don't like to see the seam, but in this case it can't be helped.  It's really not the end of the world - the kids will just rip it off to get their candy anyway.  If I were making these for some kind of party favors - like a wedding or baby shower, or special birthday, I would definitely find a way to hide the seam.

Stamps:  Web of Fun, Design a Tag, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Basic Black

Paper:  Basic Black, Basic White, Pumpkin Two-Tone 

Other:  2 1/4" & 2" Circle punches, Clear Shimmer Brush

I hope these projects gave you some ideas for treat packaging that you can easily duplicate!  And you know - apply these ideas to any holiday, not just Halloween.  

THIS week, I'll be getting into my very first Little Golden Book project and I am SO STOKED!  I'm using a Nightmare Before Christmas book to make a Halloween-themed journal/scrapbook.  It's going to have two signatures, so not the traditional hinge/pocket page system that I usually have for mini albums.  I'm also incorporating some cute fabric that I found.  

Considering all of the steps and time involved, I'm going to have to make the base of the journal in a separate Part 1 video.  I'll probably be filming that tomorrow morning.  This is where I'll take you step-by-step to take the Little Golden Book apart, and then re-assemble with a spine.  I'll cover the spine with fabric - which reminds me that I have to go iron that fabric right now and add the fusible interfacing...  Lots of fun things!

Thursday, 9/17/2026 is when I'll put my signatures together and sew them into the journal.  I'll be using the Frightfully Fun DSP and Sticker Sheet, some coordinating Frightfully Fun Times Two-Tone Cardstock, some ribbon/trims, ephemera and other Halloween bits and pieces that I have from my stash.  I may need to have a Part 3 of this video series to finish tarting up the pages...we'll have to play that by ear.  I'm so excited to get working on this book!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Sunflower Fields Forever

Do you love sunflowers?  I think they are so happy, and perfect for fall floral designs.  I really adore the Sunflower Fields Designer Series papers!  While I don't have the current Stampin' Up sunflower stamps/dies, I do have some other sunflower stamps, and we're able to hand-cut some of the sunflowers directly from the paper.  I encourage you to use what's in your stash that will work.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

My first project is a vertical gatefold card.  This card design is perfect if you have just a few small scraps of DSP.  I used two pieces of 2 1/2" x 4" dsp.

I brought in one of the newest embossing folders - Softly Woven.  I ink-blended some Golden Glow on that embossed piece, and layered it on a Scalloped Blooms piece.  Stamp is from a Unity Kit of the Month (Sep 2019).  I stamped and hand-cut it.  Colored in with Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Shimmer brushes.

Paper Measurements:

• Pecan Pie:  4" x 11", scored at 2 3/4", then fold the other end in to meet it.
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Sunflower Fields DSP:  (2) 2 1/2" x 4"
• Cajun Craze:  4" x 4", cut with Scalloped Blooms die
• Basic White:  3 3/4"ish x 3 3/4"ish, cut with largest Stylish Shapes circle
• Basic White:  scraps to stamp and hand-cut sunflower and greeting

Opened up.  You only want to attach the Cajun Craze scallop with glue on the top half.

Finished off with some Gold Striped Mesh ribbon (due back in stock soon), and old Neutrals sequins.

Stamps:  Simply Leaves, All Kinds of Holiday Love (Unity Stamp Co, Kit of the Month Sep 2019)

Ink:  Cajun Craze, Early Espresso

Paper:  Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze, Basic White, Sunflower Fields DSP

Other:  Scalloped Blooms dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Gold Striped 3/8" Mesh ribbon, Neutrals sequins, Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Shimmer brushes, Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends

My second project is another card that uses just a little bit of the designer series paper, and then I hand-cut some flowers from another print.  Most times when I'm cutting images directly from the DSP, I will tape the dsp on to a piece of Basic White first.  Makes it sturdier, but also a little bit harder to cut detailed images from.  Just be patient when you're cutting.

I've also got a piece of Early Espresso embossed with the Sunflower folder - more sunflowers!  Greeting is from the Harvest & Holly Ephemera Specialty pack.  It's self-adhesive, so I stuck it down flat on the card front.

Paper Measurements:

• Early Espresso:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Sunflower Fields DSP:  (2) 1 1/2" x 4"
• Early Espresso:  3" x 4", embossed with Sunflower Folder
• Basic White:  scraps to back on DSP before hand-cutting flowers

Finished off with some of the Painted Patch dots in Cajun Craze.

Stamps:  None!

Ink:  None

Paper:  Early Espresso, Basic White, Sunflower Fields DSP

Other:  Sunflower 3-D embossing folder, Harvest & Holly Ephemera Specialty pack, Painted Patch dots

My third project is a fun stand-up easel card design that I got from my friend Sue @KrusinThroughInk on FB).  This was another non-Stampin' Up stamp.  I stamped and hand-cut it.  Colored in with Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Shimmer brushes.  It's really a large focal image...perfect for this card!

Paper Measurements:

• Golden Glow:  4 1/4" x 11", scored at 1" and 6 1/2"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside middle layer
• Golden Glow:  3/4" x 4", embossed with Sunflower folder
• Sunflower Fields DSP:  4 1/4" x 4"
• Golden Glow:  1 3/4" x 5 1/4"
• Sunflower Fields DSP:  1 1/2" x 5"
• Golden Glow:  4 1/4" x 4", embossed with Sunflower folder
• Golden Glow:  1 1/4" x 4"
• Sunflower Fields DSP:  1" x 3 3/4"

Standing up.  You can see that the vertical layer doesn't go all the way to the right side of the card.  Leave a little bit of room.  I popped up my easel stopper with Stampin' Dimensionals, but not everyone does.  Personal choice.

Finish off with some 2026-2028 In Color Dots

Stamps:  Design a Tag, Count Your Blessings (Unity Stamp Co, Kit of the Month August 2020)

Ink:  Early Espresso

Paper:  Golden Glow, Peaceful Pine, Basic White, Sunflower Fields DSP

Other:  Sunflower embossing folder, 2" and 1 3/4" Circle punches, Golden Glow & Peaceful Pine Shimmer brushes, 2026-2028 In Color Dots

Check your stash for any flower that you could use to create these cards!  

This Thursday, I'll be making my Halloween Treats.  For 26 years now, I've made little boxes of some kind filled with candy bars for our trick-or-treaters, so we'll do that.  I've also got some other Halloween treats to hand out, with different candies and treats.  I might cruise on over to the Dollar Tree and see if they have any Halloween treat bags that I could incorporate.  Tune in!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Friends of Unity September 2026 Blog Hop - Anything But a Card!

Welcome to the Friends of Unity Blog Hop for September 2026!  This is going to be a REALLY FUN hop!  Our theme for this month is Anything But a Card.  I know the majority of stampers are card makers, but there are quite a few that focus on other things.  I can't wait to see what everyone has in store for us!

I decided to make some tags/ornaments.  You can put them on a package, or hang on the tree.  You could even add a pocket to the back to hold a gift card if you want,  These are pretty big - the largest layer is about 5" x 5"!

I made a traditional red/green version, and then a pink/beige/Victorian color version.  GLITTER all over Santa's beard, hat, eyebrows, and moustache.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Beige/Peaceful Pine:  5" x 5", cut with largest scallop from Scalloped Blooms dies
• Barely Blush/Real Red:  4 3/4" x 4 3/4", cut with the second largest scallop from that set
• Basic White:  (2) 4 1/2" x 4 1/2", cut with the third largest scallop
• Basic White:  (2) 1 1/2" circles
• Barely Blush/Real Red:  1 3/4" circles

I colored in Santa with a combination of Shimmer brush pens, and Stampin' Blends.  They both got a blue bird.

Finished off with a few 2026-2028 In Color Pearls on each.  Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine.

Here's a list of everything I used:

Stamps: A Wink From Santa (Unity Stamp Co)

Ink:  Crumb Cake, Midnight (Catherine Pooler)

Paper:  Basic Beige, Barely Blush, Peaceful Pine, Real Red, Basic White

Other:  Scalloped Blooms dies, 1 1/2" & 1 3/4" Circle punches, Jumbo Pewter Eyelets, Basic Beige ribbon, Peaceful Pine ribbon, Linen Thread, White Baker's Twine, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

You probably got here from Doreen's fabulous project.  Next hop is Crystal's project!  Please hop through everyone's blogs when you have some time.

Thanks for hopping along with us!  If you comment as Anonymous, please leave your name so we know who leaves some love.

Fun Halloween Cards 2026

Are you ready for a few fun Halloween card ideas?  I have to admit that I've had Halloween products from the July Online Exclusives for a while now, but I just haven't had time to get INTO them.  There just doesn't seem to be enough time for all of the things on my ever-growing to-do list.  But here we are... 

I do want to say up front that the adorable Bats, Ghosts & Dots are currently out of stock, and expected back in the week of Sep 14th.  PLEASE sign up for email notification when they are back in stock, if you are interested in them.  They ran out of stock pretty quickly, and I'm afraid you'll miss out on getting them before Halloween if you wait too long.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

I kicked things off with a new product that I found on Amazon - card spinners!  Before we go any further, I have linked both types of spinners that I bought in my Amazon Store at the end of this post.  I wanted to make sure that I really like them enough before I shared them and I LOVE THEM.  They spin so nicely!  I got some clear ones, and then some white ones.  I cannot stress how smoothly these spin - assuming you glue them on flat....the bottom right hand corner spider spinner is a little off-kilter because I glued it onto the glitter spider web.  Having a completely flat surface makes a little difference.

The only negative is that they are a smidge over 1/4" tall, so I expect they will not go through the mail without being hand-cancelled.  That's the price of cuteness sometimes though!

Very cute spider web corners, and then I added the label with HALLOWEEN.  Add a small bit of the Black Iridescent Ribbon to the edge...that ribbon is perfect for your Halloween projects.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Black:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for the inside
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  4" x 5 1/4"
• Black Glitter Paper:  whatever you need to die-cut one whole spider web, which you will then cut up
• Basic White:  1 1/2" x 3 1/2", cut with label die
• Pumpkin Pie Glitter paper:  scrap to die-cut "happy"
• Basic Black:  scraps to die-cut spiders
• Basic White:  scraps to die-cut detailed spiders

Ink blend Timid Tiger and Pumpkin Pie around the spiders, and layer them on to the black.

I finished off with some of the black dots from the Ghosts, Bats & Dots.  You could use rhinestones, or something black and glittery.

If you don't have the Glitter papers that I've used, you could die-cut out of regular colored cardstock and then load up with either the Clear Shimmer brush, or heavily apply glitter.

Stamps:  Web of Fun Bundle

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Paper:  Basic Black, Basic White, Pumpkin Pie & Black Glitter papers (retired), Frightfully Fun DSP

Other:  Scalloped Blooms dies, 2" and 2 1/4" Circle punches, White Diagonal ribbon, small flower punch, Shimmering Dots (white)

My second project is an Arches Tri-Fold - these arches make me think of tombstones.  I cut some of the smaller arches to add to the card as well.  I ripped the bottoms to make it look like they're coming out of the ground.  Hand-cut some of the ghosts right from the Frightfully Fun DSP, and ink blend the edges.

My sister always liked a good pink Halloween card, so I had to make something in her memory.  Pink is great for Halloween!  I used Strawberry Slush.   Die-cut three each of the letters, and emboss the top one with the Swirls of Magic embossing folder.  Glue them all together and add to the panels.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Greay:  (3) 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", cut with largest Everyday Arches die
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  (3) 5" tall, cut with second largest Everday Arches die.  Cut these panels close so your "scene" stays in tact.
• Basic Grey hinges:  (2) 3" x 1", scored at 1/2"
• Basic Grey:  scraps to die-cut more Arches/tombstones
• Strawberry Slush:  scraps to die-cut letters
• Basic White and Basic Grey:  scraps to stamp and layer greetings

Standing up.

Close-up of the front panel.

Last panel.  

Finished off with some of the cute ghosts!  I also stamped some of the tiny bats from the upcoming Design a Tag stamp set on all three panels.  

Stamps:  Web of Fun, Design a Tag, Painted Pumpkins, Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink:  Basic Grey, Strawberry Slush

Paper:  Basic Grey, Strawberry Slush, Basic White, Frightfully Fun DSP

Other:  Everyday Arches dies, Party Alphabet dies, Swirls of Magic embossing folder, Ghosts, Bats & Dots, 

My third project is a Dutch Door Fold, and I did not have time to create this on camera so you're getting pictures and measurements here.  These are really fun to make.  The thing to keep in mind is if you write your message all over that inside Basic White layer, you'll definitely see it before you open the card completely.  Just something to keep in mind.

A cute pile of cats are the focal point on this card!  Layer them and tuck together.  Only the orange one is popped up with dimensionals.

Paper Measurements:

• Timid Tiger:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
• Timid Tiger:  2 1/8" x 6", scored at 5 1/2"
• Basic White:  4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  1 7/8" x 5 3/8"
• Basic Black:  4 1/2" x 4 1/2", cut with Web of Fun spiderweb die
• Basic Black:  2" circle
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  1 3/4" circle (you can't see it, but it's glued to the 2" Black circle.  
• Frightfully Fun DSP:  hand-cut three cats
• Basic White:  scraps to punch out Advent label and stamp/hand-cut tiny witch hat

I like to make my Dutch Door fold cards with two separate pieces.  The base 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", and then the door, that has a hinge.  Attach the hinge to the base, THEN add your paper to cover up that hinge on the inside.

Back side of the Dutch Door - you can see only the bottom half of the spider web is glued to the front of the door.  I added a 2" circle of Basic Black on the front side, to give some more stability.

Finish off with some more of the Black dots.

Stamps:  Design a Tag

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Paper:  Timid Tiger, Basic Black, Basic White, Frightfully Fun DSP

Other:  Web of Fun dies, 2" and 1 3/4" Circle punches, Advent Labels punch, Ghosts, Bats & Dots, Black 3/8" Iridescent Ribbon

I hope this gives you a little more inspiration for your Halloween cards!  Join me this Thursday night for some Sunflower Fields projects.  These papers are SO beautiful!  You'll be able to use any sunflower stamps that you might already have.

Don't forget to check out my Amazon Store link below to find the spinners that I used on my first card!

3-Ring Mini Album featuring Waterside Retreat DSP, and the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit

Are you ready for this month's Mini Album?!  Once again, this project turned out 1000 times better than it was in my head.  I love it!  This mini uses three large-ish o'rings to bind all of the pages together.  Every page, including the front and back covers has the same hinge with the same holes punched.

When I originally planned this video, I was going to use the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Papers, the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit, and the Sunset Coast Bundle.  When the album took a decidedly "lake" turn, the Sunset Coast bundle no longer worked for me so I managed without it.  In fact, there is no stamping in this book.  YET.  Who knows what I'll do when I add pictures.

Finished album size is 5 1/2" x 7 1/2".  Inside pages are all 7" tall.  I've got a few different style pages, as you'll see.  I like the variety of page style and size.  Every page has a hinge in the same color.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

I actually made a separate video tonight, where I made the Front and Back Covers over again... Watch that video HERE.  When I sat down to make this blog post, I realized that I did not assemble the covers the way that I wanted to show you...so I re-did that part and then I added a walk-through of the final album so you could see every page.  I hope you like that!

I'm going to list all of the measurements, then share pictures of some of the pages.

Cardstock colors that I used throughout the book are Old Olive, Garden Green, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight, Gray Granite.  

CS = cardstock

DSP = Designer series paper

Hinges:  ALL hinges are the same.  I cut three of them down, when I needed to, but they all start out the same size.

• CS:  7" x 3", scored at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2"

I really want you to pay attention to the video to see how I attach each page style to the hinge.

Front and Back Covers:

• CS:  (2) 7 1/2" x 9 1/2", scored at 1" on all 4 sides
• Whiteboard:  (2) 5 3/8" x 7 3/8"
• CS:  (2) 5 3/8" x 7 3/8:
• Hinges (2)

Main Pocket Pages and Inserts (6)

• CS:  7" x 10", scored at 5"
• DSP:  4 3/4" x 6 3/4"
• CS (Insert):  4 3/4" x 7"
• Hinges

Paper Pumpkin Card Pocket Pages (3)

• Paper Pumpkin Cards (3):  no changes.  Use them whole
• Hinges (3)
• Paper Pumpkin Cards (3):  trim down to 4" side x 5 1/4" tall

Skinny Pages with double pockets (5)

• CS:  7" x 7", scored at 3 1/2"
• DSP:  3 1/4" x 6 3/4"
• CS:  2 1/2" x 4 1/2", scored at 1/2", and 4"
• DSP:  2" x 3 1/4"
• CS:  3 1/2" x 4 1/2", scored at 1/2" on 3 sides
• DSP:  2 3/4" x 3 1/4"

First main page as you open the album.  The inserts sit up just enough to be able to grab them up, and they don't poke out from the top of the album.

You can see the back side of one of the Paper Pumpkin pocket pages.  It's got another Paper Pumpkin card INSIDE of the pocket, as the insert.

Back side of another main page, and another Paper Pumpkin Card pocket page.  This time, I have this pocket attached to the top two rings.

You can see the two stacked pockets on this Skinny page.  The top pocket has no bottom, so it reaches all the way to the bottom of the page.

Back side of that Skinny page, and another Main page with insert.

Between all of the pages, pockets, and inserts, I'm guessing this "mini" will hold up to 60 pages of different sizes.  Amazing!

This last picture shows that without any pictures, this mini is already pretty chunky.  It' about 1 1/2" thick!!!

Think about which papers you have that might work for an album like this.  Don't worry if you don't have a coordinating Paper Pumpkin Kit.  If you like the idea of those style pages - use CARDS from your stash.  They're the same size!  Then make another card for the insert. 

I like the different size and style pages - mix and match to your heart's desire!  

Stamps:  None

Ink:  None

Paper:  Garden Green, Gray Granite, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Waterside Retreat Designer Series Papers

Other:  Party Alphabet dies, Mini Alphabet dies, Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit, 0-rings (Walmart), various ribbons

Join me this Thursday for some Halloween projects!  I know it's early, but I want everyone to have plenty of time to create BEFORE Halloween is upon us.

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
