Doodlebug Design | Pumpkin Party Cut Files

Not long ago, my niece sent me this fabulous picture of my great-niece and great-niece-pup.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to have to scrap it!  When I saw the new Pumpkin Party Cut files which are available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store I was immediately inspired!  Take a peek...

That face!!!  Such personality!  I wanted the picture to be the focus so I enlarged it to be 9.5" x 9.5".  I backed it with some new Dot-Stripe Petite Prints in Mandarin and Lilac, and then with the Party Plaid Paper from the Pumpkin Party Collection.  I cut the Pumpkin Party - Pumpkins in a few different sizes from some Dot-Stripe and Floral-Graph Petite Prints in Mandarin.     Here's a hint to make the pumpkins look different... In addition to resizing them I also used the flip horizontally function in Silhouette to make the same file slightly different.

I also added the Web and spider from the Pumpkin Party Web Lantern file to the corner of my layout using some Beetle Black Dot Stripe Petite Prints.  I made the spider 3D by cutting two of the spiders, then cutting one so that it was just the body.  I then layered them with some foam tape between the layers for dimension.  The eyes are from the Eerie Eyes Shaped Sprinkles and the speech bubble is from the Pumpkin Party Chit Chats.

I finished off my layout with my title which was made from Tangerine Abigail and Teensy Type Alpha Stickers.  I love mixing fonts!  Have you created a project using the Pumpkin Party Collection or Cut Files?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Social Media so that we can see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Pumpkin Party Treat Box

I just love Halloween... it's such a fun time, and there is candy!! ( I have no will power...)  And what better way to package up a sweet treat than with some Pumpkin Party goodies!  I made this cute little house to hold some treats for a friend, take a peek...

I started with this file from Lori Whitlock for the house and tree shapes.  I constructed the house using the Midnight Masquerade and Party Plaid Papers.  I added some Dot-Stripe Petite Prints in Beetle Black, Lilac and Citrus for the Tree, Roof and Trim.

Now for the fun part!  I embellished the house with goodies from the Icons Sticker Sheet and the Odds & Ends!  Here are some close-ups...

I just love that kitty!!!!

As a final touch I added one of the Silly Spiders Shaped Sprinkles to the chimney!

The bottom of the box opens up to hold some sweet treats!

Doodlebug Design | Pumpkin Party Cards

Doodlebug Halloween Collections are ALWAYS my favorites, and Pumpkin Party does not disappoint!  The candy, the trick or treaters, the kitty, even the spiders are cute!! (this coming from a girl who would burn her whole house down just to make sure a spider is dead...)  It took a little time, but I was finally able to narrow down my choices to make a few cards... take a peek!

I just love all of the Odds & Ends, they make it so easy to make a little scene on a card!  For my first card I created an inside shadow box card.  There's a front to the card, but when you open it, there's a little dimensional scene.  Here is the front of the card.  I used one of the Odds & Ends, stickers from the This and That Sheet and one of the ADORABLE little spiders from the Silly Spiders Shaped Sprinkles.  The papers are from the Pumpkin Party 6x6 pad and a sheet of Orchard Dot-Stripe Petite Prints.

And when you open the card, you get a fun little scene using more of the Odds & Ends, a Chit Chat greeting and sprinkles!  

My next card is a shutter card.  I used the base of a card from Lori Whitlock (here) and combined it with some Odds & Ends and Chit Chat pieces to make a fun scene...

I just adore the kitty trick or treater!!! And that little mouse, cuteness overload!  The background of the card is made up of the Pumpkin Party Double Sided Cardstock and Limeade Dot-Stripe Petite Prints.  The fun stars are from the Halloween Night Sprinkles.

My last card is another shadow box type card.  I knew I just had to make a card featuring those spiders!

The base of the card was made using Beetle Black Dot-Stripe Petite Prints.  I added the spider web using the plaid side of the Jack and Friends Cardstock.  The spider is from the Odds & Ends and the eek and Happy Halloween are from the Chit Chats.  My favorite thing about this card is that I added some of the spooky Eye See You Shaped Sprinkles inside the card!
