Halloween Party Box

Happy Halloween everyone! Are you planning to host a Halloween party? Today's project will give you an idea on a packaging for your party favors. It's a small party favor box created using chipboard and flowers by Petaloo with papers by Authentique's "Thrilling" collection.

Here more pictures of it.

 

 

I've used a black cardstock to create the small noodle box and decorated it with some flowers, feather, cut-outs and stickers. Hope you all find this project useful!

Have a fun Halloween!

Here is my project to share with you all today!

 

 

This is a mixed media layout where I've used tons of mediums to create. To create this layout, I've used 7 Dots Studio's "Messy Head" collection with beautiful crystal flourishes and brads by ZVA Creative.

 

 

For the background, I've used tons of texture paste and colorations by Art Anthology with mascils by Clear Scraps.

For U Card

 

This is a simple romantic card created using BoBunny's Isabella collection. I've used an acrylic piece by Clear Scraps as the base for this card.

 

 

To create the dimensional flower, I've cut out a few pieces of the same flowers and use pop dots to stack them on top of each other. To make it more feminine, I've add some pearl flourishes and a satin ribbon to the card.

Thrilling Frame

This is an altered frame featuring Petaloo beautiful fowers with Authentique's "Thrilling" collection. I've used an old frame to create this Halloween themed decor piece.

 

I've first stained the frame and later, I've cut bits and pieces from the pattern papers to decorate it.

 

 

For some dimensional embellishment, I've used Petaloo textured flowers with some velvet hydrangeas. The chipboard spider web and spiders are by Petaloo as well.

 

 

I've cut out this kitten from a Halloween vintage dazzler by Petaloo.

 

 

This chipboard witch and cat is also by Petaloo. I've painted them black and highlighted them using some white paint.

Dream Big

This is my second layout using Inkido's beautiful products. This layout is also posted on their blog. I've used the Beautiful Memories collection with flowers, glitters and stamps by them.

To create the background, I've used mediums by Art Anthology and mascil by Clear Scraps.

The chipboards used are by Blue Fern Studios. The title chipboard is painted  using velvet and dimensional crystal.

To create this hot air balloon, I've cut out an image from the "Blue Angels" sheet and attached an acrylic circle by Clear Scraps on its top. I've embossed and detailed it using dimensional crystal.

Precious

This is a layout created using Swirlydoos October kit, "Sweetest Thing". I really love this kit which consists mainly of Bo Bunny's "The Avenues" collection.

On this layout, I've also used Clear Scraps acrylic expression as the title.

I've used Clear Scraps damask mascil to create the textured background and colored it using Art Anthology's colorations.

I've used several beautiful stamps by Vilda Stamps to add details on this layout.

Cherished Moments

This is a layout created using Swirlydoos October kit, "Sweetest Things". I've also used tons of mediums by Art Anthology to add more sweet and warm colors to this layout.

I've used a black pen and done a little fun doodling design on the layout. I've colored some of them using sorbets by Art Anthology and Luminarte silk paint.

Halloween Altered Box and ATC

Are you all up for some Haloween projects from me? Today's Halloween projects feature Graphic 45's "Steampunk Spells" collection with tons of beautiful flowers by Petaloo and Xyron adhesives.

First of all is a Halloween altered box.

I've recycled an old cookies box and altered it into this Halloween box. The colors of this collection is so much fun and matched Petaloo flowers perfectly.

I've cut out tons of images from the pattern papers to embellish this box. You could use this box as a home decor during this Halloween or as a box to put some Halloween candies. This box will also be perfect to hold small party favors if you're hosting a Halloween party.

This second little project is a Halloween ATC.

I've used a acrylic ATC by Clear Scraps as the base for this ATC. This ATC is not just a regular ATC, you could use it as a mini invitation card to the guests of your Halloween party. It is so much more interesting and could also be turned into bookmarks or small decor around the house of your guests.

If you are not keen on making it as an inivitation card, why not use it as party favors instead of edible ones. This will make your Halloween party a special one!
