This week in lieu of CASE the Catalog, I am sharing a project that it being made at my Stampin’ Bingo Event – Halloween Hand Sanitizer Holders. While I am a huge fan of the pocket size hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works, the official terminology is Anti-Bacterial Hand Gels. It’s much easier to call them Hand Sanitizers. It probably simplifies it for all of us. It is wonderful that they “theme” the products for the different holidays.
Halloween Hand Sanitizer
Product labels are designed to coordinate with Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers (DSP). SO, as you notice in the photos, the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper works perfectly with the different Halloween themed hand sanizitizers. Also, the box design comes from a post from a couple of years ago by Erica Cerwin at Pink Buckaroo Designs. It’s perfect for showcasing the DSP and the boxes can be assembled quickly.
Below you can see how well the Bath & Body Works product coordinates!
Basic Black cardstock is used for the box base and DSP that coordinates with the Bath & Body Works hand sanitizer. Therefore, it was used to decorate the box base. In addition, the black bat was cut using the Spooky Bats Punch. The cat, from the Toil & Trouble DSP, and a stamped ghost were cut using the Cauldron Framelits Dies. Stamp and cut the ghost and sponge around the edge using Gorgeous Grape Classic Ink Pad. Cut your sentiment with the 1 1/4″ punch.
Black Cardstock works well considering the Black Glimmer Paper is discontinued.
Additionally, Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels become the bat’s eyes while Clear Basic Rhinestonse are colored to add a finishing touch to the box featuring the cat. Color clear rhinestones with Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Also, be sure to let it dry for a minute before transferring to the project. Ask me how I know!!!
Finally, Black 1/8″ Cord finishes off the sentiment featuring the ghost.
CASE the Catalog will return but that I have lots of other projects to share but if you have questions regarding a specific project in either the Annual or the Holiday Catalog, don’t hesitate to contact me for details.
When I prepare for holidays and gift giving, I always appreciate holiday helpers. That is exactly what My Paper Pumpkin is. Sometimes they are cards, other times they are project ideas. Either way, to have something come to your door once a month and be your salvation is always a good thing. Because the holidays are so close, Stampin’ Up! is offereing a great deal on two great MPP kits, 15% off while supplies last. The Frights and Delights from last month and 2017’s November Back in Plaid are available for purchase at the discounted price, if you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
I know Halloween is next week, but it’s a great sale to pick them up for next year or a last minute option. Here is the Frights and Delights subscription kit, and refill option.
Here is the Back in Plaid kit from November, 2017. I really think the little stockings are so adorable and you can decorate them any way you like. Here is the kit and refill option.
Both these kits will make gift giving easy.
So get your holiday helpers and be the envy of your friends through Halloween and Christmas.
Treats are always welcome and the packaging just kicks it up a notch. If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can subscribe here now and be able to purchase these kits as well. One great benefit of the Paper Pumpkin subscription is having it delivered right to your door. No muss, no fuss. Another benefit is the “all in one” feature of the products and directions. Open the box and go. The kids love them because they can make projects for their class. The instructions have step by step instructions and pictures to make it easy for the kids to participate. Get either of these kits from my online store.
With Halloween just around the corner, I would like to share this adorable Halloween treat idea. It’s great to create fun treats to take to your co-workers, neighbors or even for the kids to take to school. I have always loved creating Halloween goodies for family and friends. You will be the hit of all the Halloween festivities. Let the children share with their friends. Anyone will be the star of the show with this treat and even love to eat what’s inside..
Notice the bats from the Spooky Sweets stamp set. I cut them all out with the Spooky Bats Punch (all from the Holiday Catalog). You can get those products as a bundle from my online store. I think the Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie really are great colors, but you can use any cardstock you have on hand. Embellish with any accessories you like as I did and you are ready to fill it with love (or chocolate!!!).

This week’s CASE the Catalog highlights the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper used to decorate a Tiny Treat Box. October has arrived so it’s time to think Halloween! The inspiration for my project is on page 48 in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. One of my “go to” products when preparing treats are the Tiny Treat Boxes so it was only natural that I selected one to CASE. When you compare the projects, you will see a few changes with the addition of a witch’s hat and a circle of Gorgeous Grape behind the sentiment. This is a quick project to make and will bring smiles to those that you treat for Halloween!
You will need the following materials to create this treat holder:
Clear Tiny Treat Boxes (#141699)
Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper (#147531)
Cauldron Bubble Bundle (Clear Mount #149331 or Wood Mount #149330)
Spider Trinkets (#147896) – aren’t they stinkin’ cute?!
Gorgeous Grape Cardstock (#146897)
Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708)
Solid Black Baker’s Twine (#141682)
1-3/4″ Circle Punch
1-1/4″ Circle Punch
Many of the Cauldron Framelits dies match perfectly with images from the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper making it quick and easy to create projects. Instead of stamping and coloring the witch’s hat, I chose one from the DSP and cut it with the coordinating framelit. Easy-peasy! You’ll be ready for Halloween in no time at all with this project and recipients will be delighted!
Time for CASE the catalog with some Halloween fun projects.
We are casing from the Holiday Catalog. It’s almost time for Halloween so fresh and exciting projects are coming your way. These Halloween treat holders are cased from page 48 and 51 of the Holiday Catalog. Details are listed below to re-create these treat holders.
TIme for the Halloween Fun Projects Recipe
The orange treat box was created using Takeout Box Thinlits and the Big Shot. Also, images are from the Takeout Treats Stamp Set. Cardstock choices are Whisper White & Grapefruit Grove, and the Country Lane Designer Series Paper. Stamp images all around on the box in Calypso Coral so they give it character and the sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink. Add White Baker’s Twine also around the box and attach sentiment tag using SNAIL adhesive.
The second project uses the Cauldron Framelit Dies for the stars. The Tiny Treat Boxes are on page 193 of the annual catalog. Cauldron Bubble sentiment stamped in Pumpkin Pie on Whisper White cardstock. While the circle below the sentiement was done using the 1 ½” Circle Punch and Toil & Trouble DSP, the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon is layered in between the two and wrapped around the box. Various adhesives were also used due to having different needs. Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to raise the sentiments off the box. Finally, Liquid Glue was used for adhering the ribbon and small stars cut out from the Cauldron Framelits Dies in Crushed Curry cardstock. Furthermore, the new Take Your Pick tool will probably make is much easier to pick up the stars.
Above all, don’t forget tosign up for my newsletterand subscribe to the 12 Weeks of Christmas coming in October!! You probably won’t want to miss the 12 weeks of Holiday magic coming your way.
