I've been busy as you can see! It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going!
Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated! The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut. I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own! UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE!
Now let's check out all the treats. I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste.
I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind. They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie! The envelope punch board made this a quick and easy project. The hardest part was choosing which patterns of the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper to use!
Next up, pixie stix! Theses are a staple at Halloween in our house, so a quick and cute holder is a must have! I went with a half size Mini Treat Bag and some die cuts, no stamping on this one! The banner came from the Mini Treat Bag set of thinlits. I added in "spooky" from the Seasonal Frames Thinlits and "Boo" from the Boo to You Framelits.
Next treat is a cute mini Berry Basket like the one Erica Cerwin made.
I loved the idea of the smaller basket, anything mini is super cute! It's embellished with the skull and bones plus more Happy Haunting Designer Paper.
And I have one last goodie, this one is actually perfect for hanging the banner on your fridge or other magnetic service.
These little guys are one of my favorite little 3D items. Clothespin magnets are fun to embellish and easy to make! For this pair, I just covered the the clothespin with Happy Haunting Washi tape and added magnets to the back. The Boo to You framelits made the stamped images quick to die cut and add to the front with dimensionals.
One thing I did forget to mention is the awesome spider web doilies that are scattered through the projects and pictures. These babies are so cool! I added them as embellishments on my treats plus used them as actual doilies on my tablescape. Definitely a must have item for Halloween!
I hope you are leaving today inspired to create! Paper crafting for the holidays is such a rewarding experience! Do you do paper crafting for the holidays? What is your favorite type of crafting?

Looking forward to the tutorial! Love that banner.....great job!
Awww, you're making me miss my days of working in the scrapbook industry. :) These ideas are adorable! I'm off to check out some more of your projects, but wanted to say thank you for sharing. XOXO, Erin
Those are some great decorations! A lot nicer than most Halloween stuff I see. I don't decorate much for the holiday other than a few pumpkins but these sure would look cute!
Aww, the cookie packages are cute!
I see a papercrafting day in my near future! Such a good idea - I now plan to use up old scrapbooking paper to make a banner. I am going to see what else you have up your sleeve. I love DIY and it always amazes me to see how many new ideas are out there - we never run out, do we?!
I bet you'll have fun sitting down with some old scrapbook paper and a few embellishments! I am glad that my post got you thinking about it! Thanks so much for visiting Val!
Thanks so much Rachel! I think it's something I'll be doing for every holiday!
Thank you so much Allison! All I need are a few pumpkins and I'm set!
Thank you so much Erin! I am glad this is bringing back some good crafting memories! I don't think I could ever love without my card making....keeps me sane!
Thank you so much Karen!
I love every one of the projects you made! Looking forward to your tutorial very much. I am always impressed with your creativity.
Thank you so much Patricia! I am working on a pdf to share some time next week so you can give all the ideas a try!
So I thought that wanting to make Pumpkin French Toast for Halloween was being festive, but I see that I'm really a slacker.
You crack me up! That's not slacking! I would just rather paper craft than cook!! :)
Great ideas for making simple items look amazing! Love those cookie envelopes!
Your Halloween crafts and giveaways are too cute and definitely stand out from the regular giveaways. They're very cute.
Great ideas! I can't say I've done paper crafting, but your ideas are inspiring.
Thank you Teresa! If you ever want to give paper crafting a try, now you know where to look for ideas!
So cute. I do not have children but loved Halloween as a child and I taught daycare back in the day that you were allow to celebrate holidays.
Thank you Mary for visiting!
It is amazing what you can do with Paper :)
We are not much into Halloween, I'm sure your Christmas ideas will be amazing also!
Thank you for visiting Trudie!
Super cute! I love decor! I don't really do Halloween yet, but maybe when we have some kiddos I will start decorating for it. Don't get me started on Christmas!
Your ideas are great! I don't decorate for Halloween, but I can probably adapt your ideas for fall or Thanksgiving or Christmas. :) Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and for the great pictures! I enjoyed your post.
Thanks Aly! If you love doing it up big for Christmas, be sure to stop back for ideas!
Thank you Wendy! You can definitely take these ideas and change them up for any holiday. Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
These ideas are adorable! I am looking forward to the tutorial and adding more fun to our celebrations. Thank you so much for this great post. Create on, girl!
Thank you so much Jeanie! I hope this does help you add some fun to holiday decorating!
Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I love your decorations. They're so very unique and creative.
Thank you so much Beth! Halloween is so fun to decorate for!
You're really great at this! I don't celebrate Halloween but your ideas can definitely be applied to other holidays.
Thank you Chicki! And yes, these ideas are great for any holiday. Thanks for visiting!
Cool ideas for this holiday.
Thank you Jeremy!
You have some really cute ideas that I think could be translated into other seasonal decorations.
Being creative is so amazing and you do it well!!!
Thank you so much Michanda!
Thank you Georgia! The ideas can definitely be used for other holidays. In fact, I will be sharing more ideas as the holidays approach. Appreciate you stopping by!
When I've tried paper crafts I usually end up glueing my fingers together or some such mishap but I admire what I see other can do. These are so cute! I know some folks to share this with who aren't dangerous with glue. :)
I don't stamp and I'm not too creative, but it's sites like yours that save us when we have kids and we want the holidays or gift giving to be extra special. I love all your fun ideas!
Even though you aren't a paper crafter, it was nice for you to visit! And yes, please tell your friends that aren't dangerous with glue about these ideas :)
Thank you Robin! I am glad you enjoyed the ideas!
wow! and you did that all by paper? You are awesome. I hope you are offering art classes...I am a ready and motivated student...
Thank you Brian! Yep, it's with paper! I love this type of art because you can create something amazing with something as simple as paper and ink. I am happy to help you learn how. Stay tuned for a tutorial this coming week and let me know how I can help you!
These are all so cute! I love Halloween, but I feel like it gets overshadowed a lot by Christmas (other than the candy and costumes), so I love when people make cute decorations for the holiday! Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, too, and I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for Christmas! :)
Thank you so much Maegan! I agree with you, Christmas things come out so early it feels like fall gets rushed. The best part about these projects, they can be changed up for any of the holidays and I plan to show that! I hope you get to stop back!
These are all so cute and creative! I love the spider web doilies and the idea of making cute little candy pouches! So sweet!
Thank you so much Betsy! I appreciate that you stopped by!
This is such a cute Halloween idea! They would make such cute cards and I love how you showed a variety of different crafts with them!
These are really spooktacular! ;) Love the spider web! Sharing on Pinterest!
All of these ideas are very cute! I wish I had time to make some of these items. I don't think I have ever decorated for Halloween. Every year I plan to be more crafty on this holiday, but it never happens..
I love Halloween and Halloween decorations and too bad I don't have a crafty bone in my body, but I love these and who knows maybe I'll get my baby sister to make them for me :)
Thank you so much Autumn!
Thank you so much Amy! I love spooktacular!
Thanks Shani! I totally understand the time issue. I am crafting at 3am sometimes to fit everything in my schedule!
Halloween is super fun to decorate for so if you can talk her into crafting for you that's awesome!
I don't decorate for Halloween, but I do decorate for fall. I found your fall themed posts and I LOVE the watercolor trees.
I'm glad you found the fall things and enjoyed them! Thanks for visiting Lori!
Oh my - are you doing all of that to give trick-or-treaters? You go all out for Halloween!
We live to far out in the country for trick or treaters, so we do it up big and have fun at home! The kids love decorating for all the holidays. We craft things together then go crazy decorating!
I love halloween and all the orange, brown and owls!
I love it too! Fall is my favorite season!
Cute idea! We don't celebrate Halloween, but if we did, I would totally do this!
Thank you Amanda! These ideas would be great for other holidays too. I love the that all of the designs can be changed up depending on what I need.
Super cute! I especially love the cobwebs!
Thank you so much Kelsie!
You have some great ideas, I can see an easy swap for fall decorations, too. The cookie packages are pretty neat.
Thanks for sharing such unique ideas for decorating!
Thank you Katy! The cookie packages are one of my favorite ways to dress up treats!
I cannot believe we are just over a month away from Halloween. Though my youngest is 14, we still like to celebrate and decorate. I love the flag banner. So cute.
Super creative. Keep those ideas flowing.
In my heart of hearts I think I would love to do paper crafting. It's something I like thinking about but have never gotten involved in. I don't necessarily do decorating for this holiday but this kind of craft would be great for cards for birthdays, encouragement, thinking of you, etc. Very cute.
Very cute paper crafts. We do not decorate for Halloween but these are super cute and could definitely be changed for other season! Thanks for sharing!
I don't decorate for Halloween but I love the fall colors and season change. It's my signal that my favorite holidays are around the corner. Very cute crafts.
How cute! I can see reusing some old treat bags to make the banner. You're so creative.
Very inspirational. I have never explored the art of paper crafting before. I might just have to give it a look! I love it all!
Halloween is not something most Indian take part in. Presently, it's confined to clubs and house parties. I'm always fascinated with the concept though. Your ideas are so creative.
Thank you so much Corinne! I am glad you enjoyed my ideas!
Thank you so much Maureen! Check out my blog for more ideas and let me know if you want help jumping into the world of paper crafting!
Thank you so much Kayla! Your banner idea is fantastic! It's always fun to re-use items and make them new again!
Thank you so much Cheri! I love fall too, I am looking forward to crisp days and lots of colorful leaves!
