It’s that time of year to prepare for Halloween! In today’s post, I have two Halloween treat holders tutorials for you. Both use the Online Exclusive Potion & Spells bundle. The Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper is a new release and can be found in the Patterned Paper section in the Online Store.
The Toil and Trouble small Kit Kat treat holder is very quick to assemble. The treat holder is not just for small Kit Kit bars but will also hold a variety of small candy bars. The Cauldron treat holder does take a little bit more time to create. However, it’s size allows you to add a small cellophane bag filled with treats. The tutorial links for both of these Halloween treat holders can be found below the project photos.
Note: The Potions & Spells Bundle is currently unavailable but will be back in stock the week of October 14.
Have fun creating these two Halloween treat holders for friends, family, and of course, the ghosts & goblins that will be visiting on October 31!

It’s two weeks until Christmas…are your gifts wrapped yet? I still have gifts to wrap but am ready with gift tags for the presents. In last month’s card class, we made Christmas gift tags using the Sending Cheer Bundle from the Sept-Dec. Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Combining the Sending Cheer Christmas gift tags with the Tailor Made Tags Dies makes creating quick and easy. Need multiples?…It’s a breeze to do! To add “a little extra” use the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder but you can substitute with any embossing folder.
If you haven’t purchased the Sending Cheer Bundle – act fast! It’s on the Last Chance retiring list. It may not arrive in time to use for this Christmas but you’ll have it for next year. Plus there are elements appropriate for year round use. In addition, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder is also retiring and is currently discounted too.
Cut Dimensions:
Basic White Cardstock: (3) 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ for tag die cuts; 2″ x 4″ (3) for stamping

If you’ve followed some of my previous post, you know I enjoy making special packaging for small gifts. One of my favorite small gifts to give is the pocket size Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizers. For the last Playtime with Paper team meeting, I created the Peachy Day Hand Sanitizer Holder for the B&B Works Peach Mango sanitizer. Isn’t it wonderful that Stampin’ Up! and B&B Works coordinates their themes?! (LOL) The original design for the holder is from Erica Cerwin (Pink Buckaroo Designs) and is one of my favorite designs for packaging hand sanitizers. It’s much simpler than other designs that I have used and is great for also showing the decorative sanitizer label. Thanks to Erica!

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the October 3D Tutorial Bundle & Blog Hop! We have the talented Patti Dolan joining us again as a guest designer. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the design team is featuring a blog hop. We’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. You’ll find the blog hop links at the bottom of this post. This month, the team is highlighting autumn.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D bundle tutorials aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, we’re including both Imperial and Metric measurements for each project.
Starting next month, the 3D Bundle Tutorial Design Team is moving the date for our post to the 10th of each month. So mark your calendar! With the change, this month’s tutorial is available for purchase until November 10, 2020.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the October 3D projects…
You’re going to love these autumn themed projects in the October 3D Tutorial Bundle.
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my October 3D tutorial project and features the Love of Leaves Bundle.
Card Details:
Create a card base with Early Espresso cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score & fold at 4-1/4″).
Next, add a Very Vanilla cardstock layer (5-1/8″ x 4″).
Cut two strips of Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (1= 3/8″ x 5-1/4″ and 1=3/8″ x 4″). Attach the two strips to the Very Vanilla cardstock layer with each approximately 1″ from the side and bottom of the cardstock. The strips will intersect.
Stamp the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set using Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad onto a 2″ square of Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut using a stitched circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Sponge along the edge of the circle with Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad.
To stamp the leaves: first ink the leaf stamps from the Love of Leaves Stamp Set with Old Olive Classic Ink Pad. Then using a sponge dauber, dab Terracotta Tile Classic Ink along tips and partially along the sides of leaves. With another sponge dauber, dab Bumblebee Classic Ink in the center and along part of the leaf edges below the Terracotta Tile. (Note: it is difficult to see where you’ve dabbed the ink on the stamp but there’s “no wrong” way. Think of how leaves look when changing colors – no two are alike. ) After daubing the inks, stamp leaves onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut with the coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies.
Using the second largest leaf die from the Stitched Leaves Dies, cut a piece of the Brushed Metallic Cardstock.
For the next step, layer the leaves onto the card front and overlapping the intersection of the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper strips.
To complete the card front, attach the sentiment label using Stampin’ Dimensionals. And of course, don’t forget to embellish the envelope.
When wanting to create autumn leaves, layering ink using sponge daubers onto your stamps is a fun technique. But remember, just dab the ink onto your base color of ink.

Now for a Sneak Peek of the September 3D projects…
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my September 3D tutorial project. It’s a “spidery” Halloween card featuring the Magic in this Night Suite.
Card Details:
Create a card base using Blackberry Bliss cardstock (5-1/2″ x 11″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″).
Next, cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock to 4″ x 5-1/4″. Texture emboss using the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder. After embossing, use a light touch to apply Clear Wink of Stella across the web.
Cut two pieces of the 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon approximately 6-1/2″. Pull and stretch the ribbon to slightly widen. Then, wrap one of the pieces across the center of the Basic Black layer and adhere. With the other piece of ribbon, tie around the ribbon attached and wrap to the back of the card. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere. See photo below –
Add the “web” layer to the card base using Stampin’ Seal adhesive.
Using the labels dies in the Halloween Magic Dies, cut a piece of the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper (4-1/2″ x 3″). NOTE: Place the smaller die inside of the larger die to cut a frame to use on the card interior.
Stamp Happy Halloween from the Hallows Magic Night Stamp Set onto a 3/4″ x 3-1/4″ strip of Whisper White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin’ Pad. Add to the center of the small label using Stampin’ Seal and attach to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp one large spider and two small spiders from the Hallows Night Magic Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Cut the large spider with the coordinating die from the Halloween Magic Dies and fussy cut the two small spiders. Add Iridescent Pearls to each of the spider bodies.
To complete the card, add the spiders to the card front. Note: use Glue Dots for the 2 small spiders and a Stampin’ Dimensional for the large spider.
Card Interior:
The Magic In This Night Suite offers lots of creative options for Halloween projects. If you’re a fan of Halloween, you’ll want to add the suite to your craft supplies.
