hallows eve inspiration...

Buckle in!  Today's Papertrey Ink group post is full of Halloween inspiration :).  We'll start with a fun little Halloween greeting bundle using elements from the darling, new Halloween Pin-ups kit.

I love the playful nature of this sweet kit, and wanted to show that you could easily mix it with vintage or any other style as well.  I selected the skeleton pin-up and loved how the Simply Chartreuse clip worked perfectly to tie in the colors of my vintage notecards.  

The clip holds my notecards, tag, and Autumn Adornments stamped mini envelopes together perfectly and creates such a fun way to give Halloween greetings away.  I die cut a tag using the Halloween Pin-ups dies and used the stamp set to created a stamped tag to coordinate with my gift. 

Now for something a bit more bold and colorful.  I created a couple of treat containers using lots of new Papertrey Ink Halloween products.

My first container uses the new Petite Places:  Spook Manor and Scene It:  Hallows Eve dies.  My house is stamped using Winter Wisteria, Simply Chartruese, and Smokey Shadow, with the window trimmings cut from orange glitter cardstock.

I added a die cut tag and baker's twine from the Halloween Pin-ups kit.  I used a Clear Tag Dome on the top of my Plain Pint Container and wrapped my container in Winter Wisteria Damask paper.  I used the Pint Size wrap die to create the wrapper.  The top is covered in new Autumn Chicken Scratch Gingham.  I used Canyon Clay Bitty Dot ribbon around the top along with tulle, pom pom trim, and other fixings.

My next package starts with a fun chevron bag, baker's twine, and witchy legs from the Halloween Pin-ups kit.  I adore these legs!

My sentiment is also from the Halloween Pin-ups kit, with the tree and pumpkins from the new Petite Places:  Spook Manor set.  The darling metal buttons on my projects are from the Very Vintage Halloween set from A Flair for Buttons.

Next up is a not-so-spooky, but oh-so-loveable, card using the new Shaker Shapes:  Candy Corn dies

.  

I die cut my candy corn from different colors of glittered cardstock and then added sequins in matching colors, followed by a happy, smiley face, die cut from the Shaker Shapes:  Candy Corn dies.  I love purple mixed in with traditional Halloween colors, so I added in some Winter Wisteria satin and a Summer Sunrise button at the top.

My sentiment at the bottom comes from the new Haunted Headstones stamp set, and the flowers are from the Stacked Statements set.

Lastly, I created a card using the new Haunted Headstones stamp set...so much fun!  I love the sentiments thought up by Lizzie.

I attached my die cut and stamped headstone to a layered die cut Scene It:  Hallows Eve die.  I used my Gelatos to create a soft sunset look behind the die cut and added die cut glittered bats, also from the Haunted Headstones collection.

My sentiment is from the Haunted Headstones set with the ghosts, pumpkins, and tree, from the Petite Places:  Spook Manor set.

Entirely too much fun :).  I love this time of year as we start preparing for fall, Halloween, and all that comes along.

Great projects, Melissa! I especially like the card with the tombstone. And the candy corn character looks great mounted on the chicken scratch gingham. Your treat ideas are great, too. The more I think about it the harder it is to pick a favorite. :-)
