halloween spooky forest printable kit
It's my last printable kit for the Halloween season and it's a Spooky Forest complete with Trick or Treaters and mini Halloween bunting flags!
I created this kit as a companion to my other kits, I thought the trees would go perfectly with the Halloween Village and the Tombstone Favor box kit too!
I also created a tutorial video with a few assembly tips! When I was designing this kit, it took me a long time to figure how to create the trees so that they could be printed then folded to make a double sided tree ... so I figured out a solution and you'll see it in the video! It works great and it makes really sturdy trees!

i-scream truck and whimsical hearse printables
I can't wait to show you my next Halloween printable kit! It's an i-scream truck and whimsical hearse favor box set and it's available in my Etsy store here!
I started out making the little hearse and then my good friend Michelle Bernard said "you should make an i-scream truck too" and I said "that's an amazing idea!" so I made both! So thank you Michelle for that super great idea! I love the cute pun!
They can be used as fun Halloween decorations, paper toys or as party favor boxes for candy and small gifts!
Like my other printable kits they are illustrated completely in 3D so no matter where you place them they will look cute cute cute!
All the kits come with full written instructions, but I also made a couple videos to show a couple little assembly tips!
Here's the whimsical hearse!!
And here's the i-scream truck.They are all so easy to put together!
Tomorrow I'll share with you my last printable kit for Halloween ... the Spooky Forest with Trick or Treaters!

halloween printables village kit!
I am so excited to share with you my new Halloween printable kits in my Etsy store! I have been working away like crazy on these for quite some time and they are finally ready! yipeee!!
I've created 4 printable Halloween kits and designed them so that they can also be used as party favor boxes, paper toys, or as super fun decorations for your dining table, mantel or entryway.
Today Id like to introduce you to the Halloween Village Kit!! I've created 4 houses for you that are completely 3D so you can set them in the middle of your dining table and all your guests will have a cute view!
Each house can easily be turned into a battery operated tea light luminary!! Imagine putting them in your back porch area. Or have them all glowing on your mantel or dining table! Because it's a printable kit you can make tons and tons of houses! Print as many as you like! Weeeee!!
Or use the houses as super sweet Halloween party favor or mini gift boxes!
I have even created how-to videos for the kits so that you can see how easy they are to put together! All my kits are easy to put together - trust me I don't have the patience for crazy intricate labor intensive assembly. I want instant gratification! But these videos will help you with just a few little tips that I found after putting these together a gazillion times when i was prototyping them.
Here's a video where I show how to put together the small house and tips on how to turn the houses into luminaries.
And here's a video showing you the chimney assembly! The chimney makes the house so cute! It's so easy to add one!
Tomorrow I'll share with you my tombstone favor box kit! You can see it right now in my etsy store here!
This is a new little venture for me and if it's well received I've got lots more fun kits up my sleeve that I can not wait to share with you! Click here to see all my Halloween kits in my etsy store!

halloween texture canvas with stamps
Here's an amazing Halloween canvas tutorial created by the wonderful CeeCee of CeeCee Creations using my new Halloween Stamps!
CeeCee even filmed a little video to show you some of the fabulous techniques she used. She creates amazing texture in this little canvas (love how she made the moon!), you don't want want to miss this video!
Here's the stamp set CeeCee used to create this card. You can purchase it on EllenHutson.com and also SimonSaysStamp.com
I love her artwork and it's so fun to see how just a little change in the palette from brights (what I would usually use) to muted colors changes the mood completely! Don't forget to check out CeeCee's blog, she's got lots of tips and techniques over there too :)

quick halloween card!
Big thanks to Scraptime.ca for filming a little video demo of me creating a quick and easy Halloween card at the CHA Summer Show! Not expecting to make a card on camera, I whipped this card together with just a few elements I had on hand!
Here's the set I used to create this card. you can find it on EllenHutson.com and also SimonSaysStamp.com
I had so much fun drawing these designs and thinking of all things
spooky. I love the little silhouette in the frame and especially the old
houses. I drew the houses from houses in my neighborhood! The houses
can be made to look spooky or not spooky, so you can get more use out of
them than just for Halloween. Simply change up the colors you use and
you could have Christmas houses or even Summer 4th of July houses!
Here are a few samples that I created! I even used purple!! I never use purple -- so let this day be marked in history!
