AND Here We Go! Cutest Halloween Gifting At The Office?

It's my time!  The time of year when I am just happy.  I can't put my finger on what EXACTLY causes my crazy good mood.... the weather gets cooler and the colors change and I begin preparing for what really is (in this girl's humble opinion) "the most wonderful time of the year".  I never understood why I sang songs about the dead of winter being the "most wonderful time" when CLEARLY pumpkin spiced lattes, cozy sweaters and free candy season makes it to the top of the wonderful-time list!  Am I right?!?  And it also helps that now I'm prepping for Halloween gifting (those of you who know me know I LOVE Halloween gifting) so today's post is featuring mini-gift packaging that is super-easy to make and you can do a lot of them easily for the folks at the office.  I've also included a not-just-for-Halloween card that, again, is super easy but cute as can be. 

And speaking of "cute".... Stampin Up!'s Cutest Halloween is what I'm featuring today.  I mentioned it in the video (link at the bottom), the bundle will save you 10%, but the punch in the bundle is not required.  These are EASY, EASY, EASY to cut out.  There are no detailed lines and the images are not too big and not too small... simple fussy cutting.  BUT, I know there are folks out there who hate the f-word and the punch DOES punch out the designer series paper images, so for some (me.... I'm 'some') getting the 10% discounted bundle makes so much sense!  If you are one of those that is aiming for the bundle... the price already reflects the discount as long as you select the bundle item number.  I've included that in the FREE project PDF (you will see the link to the free PDF just under the last project picture).  On to this week's projects:


I showed in the video a couple of "treat" ideas for this tiny treat box.  I'm a little obsessed!  PLEASE share in the comments any idea YOU have for things that will fit in this adorable packaging!


Smile is right!!!! This card is SO GREAT to give to anyone for anything!  And it is one of those cards that allows you to use up all those scraps lying around!  Put a different color in every window and EASILY change up the them for anything you need!  LOVE!  Psssssst.... there's another Christmas version of this coming up in the Holiday Penguins Class.... check the videos below for a sneak peek!


Be warned... this little box is small, but MIGHTY!!!  The box holds TWO packs of the Little Debbie Brownies and sits perfectly upright!  I made this thinking about a co-worker finding it next to their computer.... the presentation factor on this one is perfection! And those brownies are VERY inexpensive making this one really cost-effective if you're busting out a gift for everyone at the office!

You can get everything you need for these projects by clicking the "Shop With Me" tab at the top of this blog under my title banner and remember.... an order of $35 or more this week in my online store using Host/Hostess code QTBVGHQV gets you each of these project make n' take kits for FREE!!!!  And you still have a couple more days of Sale-a-bration!  Bumping that $35 order to $50 earns you an additional FREE Sale-a-bration item.... but there's only a couple of days left for that!

Stay tuned for more Halloween-goodness next week!  YAY HALLOWEEN!!!!

BACK To Halloween.... WHEW!

Okay... BACK to Halloween gifting this week!  We're makin more goody boxes using The Cutest Halloween Bundle again this week, we are also featuring the tags and labels dies from the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog (lovingly dubbed "the holiday mini").  I've got to admit, this bundle really is the cutest and I'm having SOOOO much fun playing with it simply because of how easy it is to work with.  The fact that the punch ALSO punches out the images from the DSP makes this one a super-huge winner for me.  I mean.... three goody projects in under an hour!?!  That's right!  This week's Freebie Friday On A Monday was actually recorded in under 40 minutes!  SO DOABLE to get ready for Halloween gifting!  As always, the link to the free PDF with supplies used and measurements is below the last pic and if you place a $35 or more from my online store (click "Shop With Me" in the banner at the top of this blog) using this week's Host/Hostess code  GHRG

It's An Outrage.... ANOTHER Christmas Project Before Halloween??? You'll Thank Me!

 Okay you guys!  This is the last Words Of Cheer project for the week.  This one features the dies from the Bundle ( CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE ) and is CASED directly from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog page 20: I just reimagined the card pictured in the catalog as a box... but not just ANY box..... A CRACKER BARREL PECAN LOG ROLL BOX!!!! Here is the list of colors/cardstock used (except for the vellum, it is ALL from scraps... YAY): 1 3/4" x 4 5/8" Vellum, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede and Brushed Metallic Cardstock.  I finished this off with a scrap piece of linen thread even!  THIS is why we keep those scraps!  Honestly... nothing went to waste with this one.  Below is the video on how to make the box.  Normally I wouldn't be posting Christmas projects before Halloween, but COME ON.... this one is SOOOO worth the preview.  Besides, now you can get a head start for Christmas gifting.... PECAN LOG ROLLS FOR EVERYONE!!!
