HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN FOLIO ALBUM | with Jen

Is there anything better than trick or treating? As a kid you look forward to it all year long. So today I have a fun Trick or Treat scrapbook folio!

The folio measures 8" x 10" and has 1 1/2" spine. I used an entire Hey Pumpkin 12x12 collection kits along with the coordinating Petite Prints and Solids and the 6x6 pad to mat it. On the front I layered the petite prints with black cardstock and Odds and Ends. I also used the Sweet Treats Doodle Cuts die set and the Sweet Treats Shakers fill. I embellished the die cut with Halloween Night and Trick or Treats Shape Sprinkles.

Inside on the left I created a waterfall on the top flap and a half page flap on the bottom.

When it's opened there are small pockets and a large acetate pocket using the Homespun Heavy Acetate. I topped it with the Candy Cottage Doodle Pop. Underneath is another large pocket.

On the right side I placed angled pockets with a hidden magnet under another Sweet Treats die cut. I added the journaling cut-aparts (from the sabrina's socks paper)  and tag cut-aparts (from the sprinkling of fun paper)  in the pockets.

On the back there is another acetate pocket and more flaps, and some more angled pockets.

In the very back I added some belly bands with booklets and some stacked pockets.

I have a full tutorial to make the base and most of the matting here.

HEY PUMPKIN GUMBALL MACHINE MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hey crafty friends! Traci here and today I have a super "sweet" project to share with you. I created a gumball machine shaped mini album with the adorable new Hey Pumpkin Collection. With a fun shaker on the cover, this little scrapbook is filled with bright colors, a festive Halloween theme, and lots of Doodlebug cuteness!

Cutting files are often a great source of inspiration for me. For this project, I used one from the Hey Pumpkin Collection called Gumball Machine. I cut the base for the front and back covers out of bubblegum and cupcake pink card stock and the pages out of lily white.

How cute is this shaker?! The colorful Sweet Treats candy pieces are so fun bouncing around inside. I also added the "sweet" from the Spooky Sweet Doodle-pops, die cuts from the Odds & Ends, and Trick or Treats enamel shaped sprinkles. Love!  Note: At the bottom of the page, I've added a few instructions on how to create the shaker.  

Inside, there are 6 white scrapbook pages that I covered in 12x12 pattern papers. I used the Plaid It's Halloween print above. Aren't those colors fab-boo-lous!?!

I made a scalloped circle photo mat for each page using a 3.5" scalloped punch, a 3" circle punch, and paper from the 6x6 inch paper pad. The smaller print sizes are perfect for these. 

Then, I decorated the album with pieces from the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, and stickers from the This & That. Oh my gosh, every single embellishment is cuter than the next. The little black cat tucked in the flowers is precious and on the next page, the dessert stand is filled with treats that look too cute to eat!

These are my favorite pages. I love the Halloween Haul print filled with brightly colored candies. I used the 12x12 paper on the left and the 6x6 for the photo mat on the right. The mix of pattern sizes and adorable die cuts go perfectly together!

Since I used the globe part of the gumball machine for my round photo mats, the lower "stand" section makes a great spot for fun embellishments or journaling.

Look at the cute pink car! Maybe it's a Volkswagen Bug? It probably belongs to the bright pink house on the next page, lol!

Ok, time for some simple directions ...

I made the cover a shaker by creating a frame out of the inner globe piece. I duplicated it, highlighted the shape, and made an internal offset to create another line inside.

Next, I highlighted both shapes, right clicked, and chose "Make Compound Path" to delete the inner shape and leave the frame portion. And finally, I backed the frame with clear acetate and adhered it to the original background shape with foam tape. 

And there ya have it! I hope my Gumball Machine Shaped Mini Album inspires you to create something spooktacular with the Hey Pumpkin Collection and it's boo-tiful cutting files! Have a great day 😊

HEY PUMPKIN DOODLE STAMPED CARDS | with Karen

Okay, hold on everyone. I know it seems like summer has barely ended but get ready because the cutest Doodlebug treat is on its way for Halloween. The "Hey Pumpkin" collection is here and once you get your hands on it, there will be no looking back to summer because you are going to want to craft Halloween projects for as long as your crafty hands will let you!

For my first project, I started off with a set of cards so I had an excuse to play with the most adorable stamp set you could ever imagine. The coordinating Cards & Envelopes set makes the perfect base to feature these little cuties.

And cuties they are! I mean come on...this little ghost in his glasses has me squealing in delight! I have a feelings he is going to make his way on to about a hundred or so projects in the next few weeks. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I layered them on top of some cute pieces from the coordinating Bits & Pieces packs and then added a sentiment from the Chit Chat pack. Finally, I added a bit of sparkle with some mini jewels from the Halloween Assortment.

I am just loving how the bold and contrasting colours make the stamps pop. These are some of my favourite creations in a while!

So forget summer - bring on Halloween! Trust me on this one! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
