HEY PUMPKIN COORDINATING CARDS & ENVELOPES MINI ALBUM | with Jen

Happy Halloween! I love finding new ways to use the Doodlebug Card and Envelope packs. Today I used one of my 5x7 acrylic albums and the cards and envelopes to make a simple album.

On the cover I used one of the cute Hey Pumpkin Bits and Pieces. There are several images in that set that are mirrored, making them perfect for acrylic and acetate.

Inside I used several card to make flaps and interactive elements. I decorated with the Hey Pumpkin Icon stickers. I also used an envelope to make a fun place to tuck tickets or wristbands from the corn maze or haunted house! On the envelope I used the Good Spirits Doodle Cuts die set to make a little night scene. I cut the tree so that it's split where the envelope opens.

On one card I used a Chunky Brad in Beetle Black with the little View master piece from the Bits and Pieces to make it turn. I decorated it with Mini Icon stickers and Puffy Icon spiders.

I have a full process video on how to use the cards and envelopes and how to decorate an acrylic album here.

HEY PUMPKIN COUNTDOWN CALENDAR | With Traci

Hi crafty friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a fun project that I made for October. I put a holiday spin on a Christmas tradition by making a Halloween advent calendar with the new Hey Pumpkin Collection and the House Advent Calendar. My grandlittles and I love this fall holiday, so I thought it would be fun to count down the days until they can wear their costumes and eat way too many sweets!

This calendar is a great way to celebrate Halloween a little bit each day. With 24 drawers that measure 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", they're a perfect size for small surprises. The house is approx. 15" x 16" and made of heavy white chipboard so, it's a colorful holiday decor piece that can be used year after year.

To decorate it, I started by covering the sides in 12x12 pattern papers. I used the Halloween Haul print on the roof and down the sides. Then, I covered the chimney in the pretty pink Boo-Tiful Bouquet.

Next, was the triangular space at the top. I filled it with stickers from the Hey Pumpkin Shadow Box Insert Kit. I love these. This one has witches, pumpkins, candies, spiders, and all sorts of cuteness! Plus they have enamel shape sprinkles that add shine and dimension.

In the center, I added the adorable Pumpkin Patch Doodle-pops. This little black cat and pumpkin are just too cute. And for sparkle, I threw in some mini jewels from the Halloween Assortment. I love this fun collage!

For the drawers, I covered each one in a fab-boo-lous print from the 6x6 paper pad. I used a 1 1/2" scallop circle punch, a 1 1/4" circle punch, and black and white card stock to create the circular shapes. Next, I added lots of cute mini icon stickers and dates with numbers from the Alphabet Soup puffy stickers. 

Since there are only 24 drawers and there are 30 days leading up to Halloween, I added 2 dates to each of the drawers in the last row. I mean ... there must be a surprise for every day! 😉

As the final touch, I trimmed out the front and the chimney with some Chunky Doodle Twine in beetle black. 

For another idea, check out my Christmas version of this advent calendar where I used the wonderful Gingerbread Kisses Collection.

This was such a fun project. It's a great activity to do with your family and it looks amazing sitting out for Halloween. The new Hey Pumpkin Collection and the House Advent Calendar are just spook-tacular! 🧡

HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN NIGHT LAYOUT | with Erica

Hey friends! Erica here sharing a 12x12 layout using the new and adorable Hey Pumpkin collection. 

I started with a cut file that I cut out with some Beetle Black textured cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo. I backed the file with papers from the Hey Pumpkin 6x6 paper pad and the 12x12 Hey Pumpkin coordinating cardstock pack.

Once the cut file was backed I popped it up with some foam adhesive. For my layout base I used a lily white textured cardstock trimmed down to 11.25 square and matted it onto some beetle black textured cardstock to help it pop. Next I added the 12x12 boo-tiful bouquet paper mat.

I used one of my favorite background stamps to create splatter around the layout to add a little something behind the cut file. Next I adhered the cutfile to my layout and then added my photos. For my title I picked two chit chat words and adhered them under my photos.

I wanted to keep it simple on the embellishments so I added a few puffy icon stickers around the Halloween Wreath. I also wanted to use a couple of the adorable puffy ghost stickers so I added them around the title.

I love how the layout turned out using the Hey Pumpkin collection! Thanks so much for stopping by the Doodlebug Blog today!
