Hello everyone, it’s June here! Today I’m sharing how I made this cute 2-part treat bag using products from the new release. Let’s get started!

I thought it would be fun to make my own pattern paper for the Birthday Treat Box using one of the new stencils. Because it’s meant to hold candy, I decided on the Layered Halloween Apples stencils because it expands on the candy theme a bit. I cut the treat bag die from pastel pink cardstock, but before folding, I used my stencils to create an almost monotone pattern using just pink, white and brown on the front side. I always forget how much fun it is to use white pigment ink for stencils and I really wanted to give it a try again!

I finished the bag itself by picking a cute sentiment from Boo Greetings and layering it on some foam tape on just the top and bottom words. I left out the middle part because I wanted to tie some twine around it first. I didn’t have any at hand, but luckily I crochet, so there’s always some cotton yarn laying around! I looped it around the bag 3 times and tied it at the back. The sentiment kind of holds it in place when layered on top.

But that’s just the bag! I also added a removable shaped card with a decorated front and plain backside for a handwritten sentiment. I used the new Pinking Ovals for the card because they were the perfect shape for the Owl Holder to go onto. I added some pink splatters on the oval and started creating my owl. Again, I used all brown and pink shades and did a bit of ink blending as well. Because it’s meant to be a Halloween treat bag, I really wanted to dress up the owl in some type of costume. Luckily, there’s a previously released die set that had exactly that! The Halloween Holder Additions has a witch hat and a broom to dress up my owl with. I love how interchangeable the holder dies are! 

And that finishes up the treat bag! For my photos I added some pink and red candies, but after that I actually filled it up with a bunch of candies my mom likes and gave it to her! A good way to celebrate Summerween so I’m not alone when creating Halloween cards during summertime.

I hope you all have an amazing day, bye!

Hi crafty people! It’s Rachel here today with some very tasty Halloween tags. Today I mixed and matched some products from the August 2026 release with older products. Mixing and matching old with new is one of my favorite ways to craft! 

I could not wait to start playing with the new Halloween Caramel Apple die and decided on making some tags. Four to be precise. Because I could not choose just one design. I went through my Pretty Pink Posh dies and landed on the Scallop Squares die set. These will make a great tag size! 

I cut two out of a light pink cardstock and two out of a light salmon-colored cardstock. The background panels I cut to size, and I laid the Halloween Words Stencil over them. Inked it up with matching ink colors and added splatters with a white acrylic paint. Adhered the frames with some foam tape to my background panels, punched a hole at the top, and put an eyelet through them. I picked some matching ribbon and attached it to the tags. 

Then  it was time to add shading to all my die cuts. Beside the new Halloween Caramel Apple die, I pulled in the Halloween Holder Additions Die for some extra decorations. Assembling these cuties was so much fun; you can see how all the small pieces come together to make a spooky cute apple. I used liquid glue and foam tape for this.  

I did not want to pull in another color for my tags. When this is the case, I love to pull out my vellum. I heat embossed the sentiments from the Halloween Banner Greetings in white. Then used the Banner Greetings 4 die to cut them out. And adhered them to my tags. Hiding the glue as much as possible behind the die cute elements.  

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. I hope you like these tasty and cute tags and are inspired to make your own. Mix and match your products to create super fun scenes.

Hi crafty people! It’s Rachel here today with two bug-tastic treat boxes. I always love having treat boxes ready to go, so I always have some cute packaging for a birthday, a thank you, etc. For that reason, the Birthday Treat Box Die is a must-have for me. 

For these two treat boxes, I decided to use products from the May 2026 release to decorate them. Let’s start with the base of the treat boxes. I die-cut the Birthday Treat Box one time out of yellow and one time out of red cardstock. On the yellow one, I used the Honeycomb Stencil. For the red one, I used the Layered Baby Wreath Stencil, only the dots, so I could create a ladybug pattern paper. I added some splatters to add some shine to them. For my red treat box, I used the frame that comes with the treat box die set to make a window. I put some vellum behind it. 

From the Stitched Bugs die set, I die-cut the bee and two times the ladybug. I also die-cut the Bee Shaker die and used the Bee Happy Shaker Beads for my shaker element. Thinking about what else to add, I decided on the Everyday Branches die for some extra interest. 

Then it was time to assemble all these adorable bugs. For my placement of the dies, I always like to put the treat boxes together first. I used liquid glue for this. After that, play around with your assembled die cuts to see where you like them. Once I decided on my placements, I attached everything using liquid glue and foam tape to add some dimension. 

On my bee treat box, I used the smallest of the Rounded Stitched Rectangles dies on the back. This way I can easily write a longer message on there for the recipient. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. I hope you like these treat boxes and got inspired to make your own. Mix and match your products to decorate them.

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. I am so excited to share some fun stitched felt cuties with you. Have you ever tried felt stitching? I have seen so many fun felt projects lately and have been so tempted to give them a try. But alas I have not had a chance to try any of them. I was making some cards with Pretty Pink Posh shaker dies when it occurred to me that these dies would make perfect diecuts for felt projects. A chance to finally try felt stitching??? A chance to stretch my crafty supplies??? I had to give it a try. I was ecstatic to discover that these shaker dies are absolutely perfect for felt stitching! I couldn’t contain my excitement and had to share this wonderful idea with all of you.

Full disclosure: these are literally my very first felt stitching projects EVER … so please don’t look too closely at the less than perfect stitching. I will definitely be pulling out my other shaker dies and making more felt ornaments and tags. Perhaps with practice, the stitches will improve.

For my two projects today, I used the Bunny Face Shaker Dies and Chick Shaker Dies and decorated with flowers from the Stitched Spring Flowers Dies. These made perfect Easter ornaments but they can also be used as gift bag tags and present toppers. So let’s get started.

For the bunny, I used the Bunny Face Shaker Dies to diecut the outter shape twice out of white felt. I also diecut the nose and inside of the ears with pink felt. I used matching embroidery floss to attach the nose and inside part of the ears. I attached a pair of tiny black buttons for the eyes. I did some simple running stitches to add the mouth details and the whiskers with black and gray embroidery floss.

I used a running stitch with white embroidery floss to attach the front and back of the head. The shaker dies are so perfect for these felt projects since the stitched detail from the die left a nice outline on the felt for ease of stitching evenly along the edge. I found it easiest to start the stitching on one of the lower corners of the head then working my way to the ears. NOTE: I chose to create ornaments or tags out of these so I attached a piece of narrow ribbon to the top of the head for hanging. I cut a 10” piece of ribbon, tied the two ends together and tucked the knot in between the two layers of the bunny head and made sure to stitch directly onto the ribbon as I worked my way around the head. When I arrived down at the opposite lower corner of the head, I stopped and filled the inside of the head with some fiber fill stuffing material. I found it useful to use a chopstick or knitting needle to push a small amount of the stuffing into the ears. I continued the stitching and closed off the hole.

For my second project, I used the Chick Shaker Dies to diecut the outter shape of the chick out of yellow felt. I diecut the beak out of orange felt. I felt more comfortable after successfully making the bunny so I decided to step it up a bit and decorate the front of the chick with some flowers that I diecut using the Stitched Spring Flowers Dies. 

Once again, I used a running stitch and matching embroidery floss to attach the button eyes, beak and flowers. Tiny buttons were used for flower centers. I added some simple stitching with a green embroidery floss to ground the flowers with some stems.

Finally, I attached the back to the from in the same manner as I did with the bunny.       

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my felt projects and are inspired to make some felt crafts of your own using these paper crafting dies.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Hello, crafty friends! Arsenia here, and today I’m excited to share a fun and easy way to create festive party straws using the new Party Flag Dies! I was thrilled when I received these dies, as I absolutely love making party straws. They’re the perfect addition to presents, gift bags, candy bags, treat bags, cups, and so much more! Let’s dive into the creative process!

The Party Flag Dies make assembling party straws a breeze. I started by cutting out all the die-cut images from white cardstock. Then, I inked the smaller images with a variety of dye inks for a pop of color. For one of the flags, I used a circle die from the Party Hat Shaker Dies and Cake Slice Shaker Dies to create a playful polka dot background. For the second flag, I repurposed a leftover piece from the Party Hat Shaker Dies—the inside of the party hat—creating a unique design.

The Party word die from the Party Flag Dies is perfect for adding a cheerful touch to the flags. To give the straws an extra whimsical flair, I used a medium-sized bow from the Beautiful Bows Dies. I layered four pieces for the top of the bow and two for the tail, adding dimension and a fun, playful look.

To finish off these party straws, I sprinkled on some Sparkling Clear Sequins and Iridescent Mini Stars Confetti, then added some white gel pen highlights for extra shine. Ta-da! The flags were finished—or so I thought…

But, wait—I had one more idea! I decided to create another adorable party straw using the Party Hat Shaker Dies. For this one, I used a circle die from the Cake Slice Shaker Dies to add some playful polka dots to the hat. I also pulled in a die from last year’s release called the Interactive Cake Dies to decorate the bottom of the hat. After adhering it to a straw, voila—the party straw was complete!

I absolutely love how these party straws turned out, and I’m already looking forward to making more for upcoming holidays and special occasions. The Party Flag Dies are a must-have for any celebration or party-themed project.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Hello Everyone! It is Zsofi here today showcasing the adorable Ghost Holder die set. The first time I saw this set, I felt I need to make these as little bookmarks! They would look great for kids for Halloween! So, I made 3 versions, let me show you how.

First I die cut the ghost 6 times from heavy weight white cardstock. I used Neenah Solar White 110 here, but any heavy weight cardstock would work. I adhered 2 together on the top part of the ghosts, approximately ½ an inch. I used liquid glue, I find it is strong enough not to get dissembled with usage.

Then I die cut a bunch of accessories from cardstock scraps using the same die set: a few candies, bats, and the Boo sign too, but the possibilities are endless. I adhered everything together and arranged them in the hands of the ghosts. I love that the ghost die makes those cuts around the hands, so it is easy to put anything in there.

I made one which is holding a pumpkin. You can decorate the 2 sides the same way or just get creative and make them different.

For the second one I tucked 3 candies in the ghost’s hands, while on the last I simply added the Boo sign and some bats.

Look how adorable they are while in the book? They peek out when the book is closed, isn’t that adorable? And so fast to make, even as a Halloween crafting with kids! 

I wish you liked this bookmark idea and got inspired. I will share a secret; the Build a Monster die set would also look gorgeous as bookmarks and the kids would love that too!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon,
Zsofi

Hi friends! It’s Sophie Ems here on the blog today sharing a fun idea for Halloween treat gift packaging featuring new products from the Halloween release! Let’s dive in! 

I thought it would be fun to create decorative gift tags using the new Bat Shaker die set and the Candy Corn die set. Let’s start with how I created the bat tag!

I used black cardstock to die cut the bat outline first. Then, I die cut the frame 8 times with black cardstock. I like using layers of cardstock instead of foam tape to create the shaker well because it creates a seamless look from the sides. I cut the bat outline layer out of acetate and then placed one more frame piece on top to create the shaker. I filled the shaker with a good scoop of the new Classic Halloween Shaker Beads. I LOVE these bead collections from Pretty Pink Posh! They are always the perfect shaker fill – they move around a ton and give a fun sound. 

I used some ribbon and yarn from my stash to tie the shaker on to the bag. For the banners I just cut a few banners from glitter cardstock, orange cardstock, and yellow cardstock and stacked them up to create some movement. I attached them together and to the ribbon with a tiny attacher stapler. 

I really love the new Upright Greetings: Halloween stamp set. It is so unique and different than anything else I have in my stash! These upright greets are perfect for tags in my opinion. I heat embossed this one onto orange cardstock using white embossing powder. 

To create the Candy Corn shaker card I used much of the same process regarding the ribbon and sentiment banners but changed up the sentiment. This is not a shaker tag but you could easily turn it into one with this die set! I love how versatile it is in that you can create many different looks with just one set since there is a frame piece included too.

I hope you enjoyed these products! It is always fun for me to stretch my supplies to create gift packaging too. I love to give my friends and family little holiday surprises and I think they will enjoy some candy or another treat in these goodie bags this year. 

I cannot thank Pretty Pink Posh enough for inviting me to guest design this month. I have had so much fun creating spooky cute projects! I hope you are feeling inspired to create and have a wonderful day!
