HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN WREATH | with Tarrah

It's time to decorate for Halloween! And what better way to start with a wreath to hang on your front door! I love how all the gorgeous colors are showcased in my wreath from the Hey Pumpkin collection!

To create this wreath I chose nearly all of the papers in the Hey Pumpkin collection and trimmed strips from them all to measure roughly 2 inches x 10 inches. Some papers I did repeat to fill up the wreath. I then took my banner punch and punched the very ends of each end of the paper strips. I chose a polystyrene foam circle that I have had in my stash for ages to glue them all to.

Altogether there are 28 paper strips on my wreath, I was sure to not place similar patterns and colors too close together, arranging them to even out the patterns and colors as much as possible. I slightly overlapped each paper strip to ensure the foam circle was covered. Once all of the paper strip banners were glued in place, I added some black ribbon at the top and tied a bow, I also attached the gorgeous Hey Pumpkin Just Charming Clip and Key Chain to hang down.

When the paper strip banner were all dry, I added a piece of the gorgeous Homespun heavyweight acetate to the back of the wreath. I did have to wait a while for this to dry before I started on the really fun part of embellishing! I added the round October 31 die-cut from the Chit Chat pack to the centre of the acetate also.

I added titles from the Chit Chat pack to the top and bottom of the wreath and some small speech bubbles as well. From the Bits and Pieces pack, I added lots of the floral pieces to the title below and at the top as well.

The Puffy Stickers in the Hey Pumpkin collection are super cute, I added some floral ones over the top of the die-cut flowers at the bottom, a pumpkin and a spider near the bottom title, some bats to the sides of the wreath and some pumpkin puffys to the top floral piece.

I absolutely LOVE how my wreath turned out and the best thing was it was SO EASY to make! I hope you inspired to create your very own wreath with the Hey Pumpkin collection! Happy creating!

HEY PUMPKIN STUFFED ENVELOPES | with Niella

Calling all witchy boo's and ghoulie lovers! The day of candy smiles, dress up fun and trick & treating is crawling near and we have loads of time to prep the big day! Here I am today with the Hey Pumpkin collection that is super cute, inspiring and so creepy fun! My project is stuffed envelopes! And a bonus video at the end showing all the super cuteness overload!

I love to gift and these are sure to please the recipient! I stuffed these with crafty goodies, but you could package up candy, stickers and even store cards to gift! So many possibilities. How about creating a bunch to store your ephemera pieces or popping in your memory keeping folders! How about a scrapbook page or slipped into an album - eek, so many ideas!

For the envelopes, I've used the papers Sprinkling of Fun and Moonlight Magic! The colours and simplicity of the background makes projects ideal because you can have your layered Odds and Ends ephemera pop!

The cute faces of the icons are so stinkin' cute! They all have a personality and love to be showcased! See that cute ghostie popping out saying Hey Boo! and we all adore that witch with the glasses! Eek! And those wee chubby pumpkins? Yes please!

I loved them empty, but I LOVE them packed with goodies! You could make Halloween decor with these are use them as take home goodie gifts or table place names for seating! I kid you not on how cute they all turned out :-)

Thank you creepy crafty crew for visiting today! I hope I gave you a crafty hit of inspiration! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle BOO!

BEWARE! See me stuff the envelopes with goodies!
