Even though Halloween is looking a little different this year, we’re trying to make the best of it. My munchkins have been decorating inside and outside our house. Our pumpkins were carved earlier this week and I’m putting some treats together. I’ve also been having fun creating different projects for Halloween. Usually I’m not much for Halloween cards so I’ve been making treat boxes and other things. My last “big” project for Halloween this year is a Halloween shadow box.
I’ve had some of these supplies for a while and have used them in different projects. Recently when I was cleaning up my craft stash I found them and decided I’d pull them together to make a home decor piece. Then about a week ago when I was at a local Michael’s picking up some stuff for my daughter’s birthday I saw that they had shadow boxes and frames on sale. So of course I grabbed a shadow box, black of course, for my other pieces.
Here are some of the supplies I used…
The Designer Series Paper I used came from the Magic in the Night pack, which is on sale until tomorrow. The spiders are ones that have usually ended up on our front porch with webs for decoration. The shiny pumpkins came from a local Dollarama and the ribbon was from a previous project.
The other pieces came from project kit I got when I joined the Stampin’ Up! family. It came with a black tray, some other Halloween themed patterned paper and the ribbon I mentionned. The tray has recently been painted white because I decided I want to use it for something else. So I was left with the other pieces. I think the pieces I used worked really well together.
I love how the Halloween shadow box turned out and I hope you do too. If you’re interested in how to make some easy Halloween themed treat boxes then you’ll definitely want to check out this post from a couple of weeks ago!
