Spooky season is on, and we are at the ready to preserve all those wicked-fun moments with two scrapbooking workshops using our cute, with just a hint of creepy, I Want Candy collection!

The I Want Candy designs provide a sweet twist to the typical gruesome vibes associated with Halloween, with a more fun, whimsical, and lighthearted approach. It is a mesh between a few classic colors and motifs, like purple and orange and ghosts and cobwebs, and the pastel Halloween trend, including light pinks and blues and the creepy cute.

What’s especially exciting about the I Want Candy collection, is that the paper designs and color scheme make it easy to use outside of Halloween projects, too. By mixing and matching the right products, you can also make scrapbook pages and cards with no association to the holiday.

The I Want Candy paper packet includes colorful gingham, stripe, dot, and star patterned papers, and one word-patterned paper, where “candy” is written out in a variety of fonts and directions. The sixth patterned paper available through this collection is a coordinating Halloween-themed candy design, where little ghosts, bats, and pumpkins adorn candy wrappers, amid an array of sweets typically associated with trick-or-treating.

The 12″ x 12″ sticker sheet follows suit, with a refreshing break from the ghastly and frightening, featuring the same light color palette, including a handful of stickers themed in the Halloween spirit. What remains outside of these spooky sprinkled designs, are a group of stickers that can be used for any sweet memory or relationship you want to celebrate! Pair these with the I Want Candy puffy stickers for an even more special, and sweeter, treat!

Unique to I Want Candy, this collection includes a beautiful pink glitter paper. We paired this glitter paper with five other cardstock colors from our exclusive color palette to create a combination that works seamlessly with the patterned papers and stickers.

Lastly, we split the candy and Halloween themes from the I Want Candy collection and created two stamp sets with coordinating Thin Cuts dies!

A Pastel Christmas

Red and green, silver and gold—we love the traditional holiday color palette. This season, why not have a little fun and switch things up! Venture into the trendy world of pastel colors and try incorporating them in your Christmas cardmaking and scrapbooking projects.

Pastel color schemes are an easy way to give your holiday crafts a feminine, sophisticated look or a cool, vintage feel.

Take a look at how we are using pastels for Christmas projects this year.

This scrapbook page shows you how to mix and match cardstock, paper packets, and Complements to create a completely different color scheme. The pastel color palette gives the project a delicate tone that draws attention to the photos, while the silver glitter die-cuts add some classic holiday bling.

If you like this color trend for your layouts but aren’t too confident you can pull it off without a little bit of help, give our Noelle Cut Above® layout kit a try.

Pastel Christmas #ctmh #closetomyheart #cutabove #noelle #pink #pastel #Christmas #scrapbooking #layout

Featuring the dreamy hues of the pastel holiday trend, this kit is the perfect option for easy memory keeping! The kit includes base pages, stickers, die-cuts, Memory Protectors™, and instructions—all you need is adhesive and a journaling pen! (If you are worried about whether or not your photos will match, try printing them in black and white. Not only would black and white photos look great on this layout, but they would also create a vintage finish to your pages.)

 

Paired with black and white, a pastel color scheme can add a touch of class to holiday crafts, including cards. Adding a Christmas sentiment with sparkles and silver glitter trim keeps things festive.

If you prefer a softer, vintage feel, you can combine pink or blue with silver, like the card above. This card features an embossed sentiment and some simple silver embellishments. We’ve created extra dimension by using our Tree Line Border Thin Cuts and both sides of our two-toned Linen cardstock.
