Jack O’Lantern | I Tri and Craft

I have confessed to you all how much I love Halloween and now that I have my Silhouette Cameo I love making things for this holiday.

OK, let’s be honest, I love making things for any holiday.

I had started to make these little bags for Ian’s preschool class, but scrapped them and went a different direction. The bags just weren’t the right size for the kids (but it was perfect for his teachers).

Instead I used a mini nugget holder from SVG Cutting files.

But, I didn’t want there to be just plain rectangle opening, so I altered it into a spiderweb.

On the card side I used the Mummy from this Halloween set, also from SVG Cutting files. If you remember, I used the Werewolf from the same set for a Halloween themed birthday card.

I had designed it to say “Happy Halloween, from Ian” on the front with the mummy, but the end product was just too small, so I had him write his name on the back.

I had never cut a mini nugget holder before and didn’t really pay attention to the actual size of it. I just figured I could put a couple of pieces of Halloween candy in there. It was way smaller than I thought it would be.

and that mummy with the tiny wrappings was a b!*ch to put together and ink! I’m lucky I only had to make 10…

The candy I had didn’t fit, so I took one to the store with me (and no they didn’t have any Halloween Hershey Nugget candy) and figured I could put two of the mini-milky-way/snickers candy bars in there.

Next time I will make an actual prototype first, just to see if everything fits.

I still think they turned out super cute! Seriously, that mummy is just so stinkin’ cute!

Now don’t think I stopped there! I was in charge of the snacks for one of Ian’s soccer games sooo….

Come on! It was almost Halloween, what was I supposed to do?

This is the same pumpkin that I used in my Candy Corn Dish that I got from SVG Cuts.

I wasn’t the only snack I got them, and the kids were thrilled.

I used this project in the SVG Cutting Files Blog Challenge. This month’s theme was “Let’s make a treat” Head on over and see some other projects.

Fall is in the air, and for us, that means it’s Halloween time!

Ian loves Halloween. I mean loves it.

Not just the candy, but the costumes and decorations too. Since this month’s Silhouette Challenge theme was fall I just knew I had to make something for Halloween.

If you remember from last year I made a candy treat folder and popcorn box for the kids at Ian’s school (those are a couple free printables if you want). Well that was pre-Silhouette. Now I can make things a little more intricate.

First I created a little gift bag for the kids at Ian’s school.

I created the bag with a little spider web window, and it is the perfect size for a couple treats and some stickers.

On the back panel is the sentiment and a little pumpkin. Of course I had to make some cute little wrappers for the candy.

I really like how the window turned out, and I glued a plastic sheet inside so the web doesn’t break.

But I didn’t stop there…

I decided to make a little candy dish, perfect for Candy Corn.

I used a hot dog boat file from Oh Happy Day as the base of the dish. I extend the dish up the back so I could create a little spooky Halloween scene.

I used foam dimensional tabs to pop out the letters, the lower ghost and the pumpkin.

I love this little dish, I have visions for a few more.

I used elements from one of Just So Scrappy‘s digital scrapbooking kit as well as from SVG Cuts.
