Weekly Wrap #88 : Confetti Halloween

September 23, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

I truly appreciate your support, your tweets, your posts, and your kind words about the launch of my new site, k.becca, this week. Thank you so much. You gals and guys totally made my week!

This week’s Weekly Wrap is one of the Halloween projects that I’ve shared on the new site : Confetti Stamped Halloween Treat Bags. It’s a super quick and simple project, and you can adapt your ink and bag colors to make confetti favor or treat bags for pretty much any occasion. You can find tips and additional details about this project over at k.becca, and I’ve included the video tutorial below.

Next week, my mom is coming up to visit from Pittsburgh, so I’ll be offline for most of the week, but I have lots of paper-iffic posts scheduled for all of next week (wouldn’t want your paper cravings to get out of hand while I’m gone), and I’ll see you back here in October! Wow, how is it going to be October already?

It’s that time of year again, time to start thinking about all things Halloween! And Martha Stewart Crafts just released new Halloween packaging goodies for all of those tricks and treats. The two main collections for 2011 are “Elegant Witch” and “Classic Halloween”, and each features die-cut beverage labels, embellished treat bags, and boxes that will add creepy cool pizzazz to your Halloween celebrations.

Shown above (clockwise from top left): Elegant Witch Food and Beverage Labels, Classic Halloween Wax Bags, Elegant Witch Wax Bags, and Potion Bottle Treat Boxes.

I’ll see you all back here on Tuesday, after the long, Labor Day weekend! It’s hard to believe that summer’s just about over already, but I’m looking forward to fall, my favorite season of the year.

Canning season is in full swing, and these homey, nostalgic personalized canning labels from Felix Doolittle would make a wonderful finishing touch for jars full of the season’s bounty (mmm….jam). Each label features one of owner, Felix Fu’s, tiny watercolor paintings, and the variety of designs available gives you so many choices for prettying up jars of jams, preserves, pickles for gift giving.

Felix Doolittle also carries stationery, address labels, and lovely gardener’s bookplates that I’m definitely earmarking for my mother-in-law, who is an avid gardener.

Psst … for all of you who are into home canning, please be sure to check out the Sweet Canning Contest that Felix Doolittle has going on through the end of the month. The winner will receive a label created by Felix personally for you!

July 22, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

The humble yet versatile paint chip strikes again, and I love it! Jessica from How About Orange shows us how to make super cute little boxes out of paint swatches, and the possible color combos are pretty much endless. Tuck small gifts or favors into these little cuties for a package that’s fun and sure to be remembered.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and here’s hoping for a bit of a cool off for all of us who have been dealing with sweltering heat for most of the week. It’s a cruel, cruel summer … </Bananarama>
