Curvy Keepsake Pumpkin Treat Holder

It's almost Halloween and this Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlet makes the cutest pumpkin treat holder! 

I used Pumpkin Pie card stock for the "pumpkin" punching a 1 3/4" circle on one side.  I used a window sheet to cover the hole.

The leaves are cut from a Botanical Builder Framelit set using Always Artichoke card stock.  I made the tendrils by trimming a 1/8" strip and winding that around a small paintbrush handle.  Use your favorite leaf die or hand cut one!

The tag is Crumb Cake card stock, the greeting is from Jar of Haunts.  I stamped it in Tuxedo Black  ink and hand trimmed it into a tag.

Fill it with a favorite treat – I used Dove dark chocolate pumpkins – and give it to your favorite trick-or-treaters!

Thanks for looking!  Hope you enjoyed this project!

Paper Pumpkin Halloween & Alternative Projects

Since it was first introduced I've subscribed to "Paper Pumpkin" –  it is a complete and fully designed crafting kit that is delivered to your mailbox every month.  It always comes with at least one 1" Stampin' Spot ink cube and an exclusive photopolymer stamp set.  It is often a set of cards but this month it is a really cute 3D item.  Little tubes to fill and decorate for Halloween or Fall.

The kit has 16 tubes!  I made a few and filled them with candy corn.  So cute!  My grandsons will love them.  Here is a look at some of the supplies that come with the kit – enough to complete all the tubes and left over pieces too.

While I love them, I didn't want to make all 16 tubes for Halloween so I went to work on making some alternate projects. 

My first thought was to fill with some of my favorite embellishments. Now they are in a cute little jar I usually keep my green glue in and close at hand! I made a card, using a few additional supplies – Old Olive & Basic Black Card Stock and Basic Black ink.  Notice I used the "scrap" part of the banner stickers for a vertical line on the card.

The last project is what I'm going to use for place cards on my Thanksgiving table.  I put a bit of confetti in the vial for now, but I'm going to figure out something else (when I'm a little more mobile).  I cut a strip of Whisper White paper to layer onto the sticker banner and tied that on with some gold thick baker's twine from the Baker's Twine Trio Pack.

BOO! Halloween Card

There was an Pumpkin Pie "O" die cut sitting on my desk, and it made me think of a pumpkin so I ran with the idea. I grabbed the Large Letter Framelits and cut the rest of the word. These pumpkins won't scare anyone though.

The Woodland embossing folder  embossed on Tip Top Taupe provides the background.  I only embossed the top 3/4.  The "ground" is Always Artichoke cut from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  I stamped the stem from the Jar of Haunts in Basic Black and used my Blender Pens to add a little color.

To make the embossed trees stand out a little more I used an Aqua Painter to highlight the raised parts then used the Clear Wink of Stella for the lines in the trees.  While I love my little pumpkins, turns out the trees are my favorite element on this card.

Base card is Always Artichoke, the top layer is Tip Top Taupe layered onto Basic Black
