Hello everyone,
My name is Karen I am the owner of Karen’sCards n Stamps. I teach Paper Crafting Clubs,
Card and Scrapbooking Classes, Kids Classes, Birthday Parties and more. My greeting
cards, invitations, home decor and gift items are all for sale by special order
and at local craft fairs. I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator here in the Quinte
Area, so all the supplies I use are from Stampin’ Up! and are available for
order through me or my online Store as well as through
Parties in your home.
Fall is certainly here and all of our little ghosts and
Ghouls are getting excited about Halloween, I know mine are. When I was asked
to guest blog here at Quinte Family Resource Guide with a Halloween project for
us to make with our kids I knew exactly what I wanted share.
These are a cute, quick and easy craft that both you and
your kids will enjoy.
For this I use my Big Shot Die cutting machine, I love this tool, best investment I ever made, and
my kids love it too, with minimal supervision they use it all the time. The Big
Shot by Sizzix for Stampin’ Up! Is a multipurpose Die Cutting System not only
cuts but also embosses, this portable roller machine cuts and embosses many
different materials from paper to thin metal, fabric, cork, leather and more.
●
First I cut out a box using a box die and Pumpkin Pie
Cardstock and put it together using Sticky Strips (strong double sided tape).
There are many resources on the internet for box templates if you do not have a
big shot yet.
●
Second I cut out 2 Top Note dies that we will be using
as the faces; again you can cut out circles, triangles or any shape you want by
hand for the faces.
●
Then I gather up all sorts of punches that the kids can
use to punch out different shapes to make their eyes, nose and mouth for the
jack-o-lanterns, using Basic Black Card stock. This is where your kids can be
creative and make whatever crazy or scary face they want.
●
Using an “anywhere glue stick” the kids can assemble
their faces the way they want it to be.
●
Using the Sticky Strip tape adhere the faces to the
front and back of the boxes.
●
Lastly fill a bag with some candy, toys or trinkets,
tie the top with a piece of ribbon and there you have it!! A Great Halloween
craft and gift for your kids to give to their friends, teachers, bus driver or
anyone.
This is just one of the projects in my upcoming PA Day Kids
Halloween Class,

available. You can visit my events
calendar to see more of my upcoming classes or
do your kids have a birthday
coming up and would like me to come and make these
projects with them and
their friends?
