Since we no longer have trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood, I am making Halloween treat gifts for family and friends. Stampin’ Up! has a variety of packaging options making treat giving simple. I am using the 6″ x 8″ cellophane bags for the majority of the Halloween treat gifts and making bag toppers with the Celebration Labels Dies. There is one Halloween treat that uses a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box (for a special recipient!)
Tips for bag toppers:
To create the bag toppers, use the largest die from the Celebration Labels Dies to cut desired pattern from the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper (on Sale until through October 31!) After cutting, score the center of the label. Attach to the bag using Stampin’ Seal+ and fold over the 6″ x 8″ Cellophane Bag (don’t forget to fill the bag with your treats first!). Embellish the bag topper using the Banner Year Stamp Set and the Little Treats Bundle products. This is a project to use cardstock from your scrap bin! Use Layering Circles dies to cut tags to add to the bag topper. Additional embellishments are: bats cut from the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper using the coordinating Halloween Magic Dies, Wink of Stella (on spiders), Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Champagne Rhinestone Jewels, Metallic Mesh Ribbon and Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
Tip for coloring the Mini Paper Pumpkin Box:
Use the Mango Melody, Bumblebee and Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink Pads to swipe ink across the box exterior. I found it best to swipe in one direction with a color and then swipe in opposite direction for coverage. After adding the final color layer, spritz water to create the spotted appearance. Decorate as desired!
As you see in the photo above, I have made a number of Halloween treat gifts. Using different Halloween greetings and embellishments, each is slightly different. The Banner Year and Little Treats Stamp Sets have perfect sentiments to make small tags for different occasions. I still have a few treats remaining so will be finishing more bag toppers this weekend so they’ll be ready for gifting next week!

Sep 25, 2020 | August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Fun Folds, Holiday, Magic In This Night |
In my last post, the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper was being highlighted on a non-Halloween card. Today, it is front and center again on two Halloween Z-fold cards. One of the cards features spiders and the other features bats. Even with creepy crawlies and things that fly in the night, the cards aren’t too spooky! Since the cards are part of the September To-Go Kit featuring the stamp set, A Wish For Everything, the front sentiment and inside greeting fit perfectly on the Z-Fold cards.
Notice the little spiders? They are cut using the Little Treat Box dies. The spiders are the perfect size for this project.
What fun with the bats! The bats are cut from a piece of the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper. The Halloween Magic Dies coordinate with designer series paper to cut the bats. Plus there’s a die with the three small flying bats that add the perfect touch to the back panel.
Materials:
- Card base: Cajun Craze or Black Berry Bliss cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11”, score on 11” side at 2-3/4” & 5-1/2”
- Z-Fold layer – Basic Black Cardstock: 3-1/4” x 9-3/4”, score at 2-3/4” & 5-1/2”
- Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper
- Panels for card base: 4” x 5-1/4”; 2 pcs – 4” x 2-1/2”
- Panels for inside z-fold: 4” x 3”, 2-1/2” x 3”
- Whisper White cardstock panel: 2-1/2” x 3” and 2-1/4” square scrap piece for sentiment
- Stamp Set: A Wish For Everything
- Ink: Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Dies: Halloween Magic, Little Treat Box and Stitched Shapes
- Embellishments: bats cut from the Designer Series Paper & the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins or the spiders (die cut using the Little Treat Box dies), Basic Rhinestone Jewels & 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon
Assembly Directions:
- First, fold and burnish the score lines on both cards. For the base panel, the small fold is the card front. The card folds into a “z”.
- Add the Magic In This Night designer series paper panels to the card base and to the Basic Black cardstock z-fold layer.
- Using a strong adhesive, attach the z-fold layer to the card base. Note: the large side panel of the z-fold layer is added to the 2-3/4” front panel of the base.
- Next, stamp the inside sentiment with Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad onto the Whisper White panel. Then, attach to the last panel of the z-fold.
- For the front sentiment, stamp Happy Halloween onto a 2-1/2” square of Whisper White cardstock. For the circle shape, use the Stitched Shapes Die. If adding sentiment to the spider card, add the metallic mesh ribbon beneath the sentiment. (As an added touch on the spider sentiment, stamp the webs from the Banner Year Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink)
- Refer to photos for each card for placement of spiders and bats. Embellish with adhesive-backed sequins on the bat card and rhinestones on the spider card.

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the September 3D Tutorial Bundle! We have the talented Patti Dolan joining us as a guest designer for this month’s tutorial bundle. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the 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 projects for Halloween.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle 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.
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.

Oct 18, 2019 | 2019 Holiday Catalog, Halloween, Treat Holders |
Happy Friday! Hope you’ve been having a good week. Fall temperatures finally arrived in Georgia so it sets the mood for Fall festivities. Today’s project, Halloween Coffin Treat Boxes, is perfect for Fall craft fairs or for giving treats to friendly Gremlins. The food safe Coffin Boxes in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog are easy to assemble. A variety of products in the Monster Bash Suite decorate the Halloween Coffin Treat Boxes shown below.
Details for the Coffin Halloween Treat Holder on the Left:
First, texture emboss the lid using the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder before assembling. Next, assemble the coffin top and bottom using a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Mulitpurpose Liquid Adhesive. To add definition to the top, swipe the lid across the raised embossed areas using the Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink Pad. Stamp the mummy and the sentiment from the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock. After stamping, cut using the coordinating Ornate Frames Dies. Also, use the dies to cut a scroll frame from Crushed Curry cardstock. To color the mummy, use either the Crumb Cake Stampin Write Marker or Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. For the border, use the Light Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends. Adhere the mummy piece to the Crushed Curry frame using Snail Adhesive. With stampin’ dimensionals, add the piece to the top of the coffin. Attach sentiment and bow. Almost forgot… for a fun touch, add Assorted Googly Eyes!
Details for the Coffin Halloween Treat Holder on the Right:
Start by assembling the coffin. Turn the coffin lid upside down and place onto the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper. Then, trace around the lid. Use paper snips to cut the lid around the traced area. After cutting, sponge the edges of the designer series paper using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Add to the coffin lid using multipurpose liquid adhesive. TIP: the multipurpose liquid adhesive allows time to make placement adjustments. With the Ornate Frames Dies, cut a large scroll from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and a smaller scroll using Basic Black cardstock. Layer the scrolls. Stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut with the coordinating die. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach to the layered scrolls. Embellish with Basic Rhinestone Jewels and a Black Glitter Organdy ribbon bow. Add to the coffin lid.
Isn’t that easy? And yes, you still have time to order the Coffin Treat Holders and elements for embellishing before Halloween. For a list of the materials from today’s post, check out the Project Materials list below.
