Oct 24, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Halloween |
Today I have a cute project for you using the Trick or Tweet stamp set. I designed a door hanger box that you can fill with a treat and leave on a neighbors door or even on your kids bedroom doors. This box has lots of potential for more than just Halloween. On my At Monika’s Place Facebook Page on Monday October 22, 2018 I did a Facebook Live where I showed how to create this door hanger. Be sure to visit my page and watch it.
I used a piece of Basic Black card stock for the base and my trimmer to score and cut to create my box. The piece is 8″ x 8″. Then score on one side at 2-3/4″, 3-3/4″, 6-1/2″, and 7-1/2″. Now turn so the large section is at the top of your trimmer and score at 1″ all the way across. Then move to the 4-1/2″ mark and cut starting at 2-3/4″ out to the end at 8″ – don’t cut through that large section that is at the top of the trimmer. Next trim away the rest of the piece along the 2-3/4″ score line. You will also cut your tabs at the bottom and remove the small piece on the end. Here is a diagram to show you (and watch my Facebook Live too). To create a hole for the door knob use the 2-1/4″ circle punch.
Supply List

I used Memento ink to stamp my image and colored it in with the Stampin’ Blends. A little trick for the tiny pumpkin use the 1/2″ circle punch to punch it out instead of cutting. I popped it up on a mini dimensional. Here is a closer look.
I filled my box with a peanut butter pumpkin. If my boys were still living at home I’d hang one on each of their bedroom doors for Halloween.

Oct 19, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Boxes, Designer Series Paper, Halloween, Stampin' Blends |
Someone a while back told me about Bat Brownies that they found at the store – so I wanted to find them an use them to make a treat with the Trick or Tweet stamp set and the little elephant dressed like a bat. It took me a while to find them but I did locate them at the big W store. And now recently I’ve seen them in several stores. I think I was just too far ahead of Halloween to begin with.
I basically just created a box that wrapped around the brownie. Our Grid paper is perfect to help create a box for a treat. Lay what you want to cover on the paper and trace around it for the height and width. Flip it on its side to determine the depth. Be sure you include a flap that overlaps for the adhesive to hold it together. I normally start with scraps to do my first measurements and then adjust before cutting for my final piece. After getting the card stock sleeve set just right, add a piece of Designer Series paper around it and then add ribbon and a tag to finish.
Supply List
- Trick of Tweet stamp set
- Granny Apple Green card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper (I used the Blackberry Bliss pattern)
- Memento Black ink
- Stampin’ Blends: Smoky Slate, Blackberry Bliss, Granny Apple Green
- Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon
- 2-1/4″ Circle punch
- Grid Paper
- Paper Trimmer
Now go find bat brownies and make your own little treats. Enjoy!
