Hi, Friends! Andrea here sharing a variation of one of my favorite projects to make with the Simple Stories collections. I am always looking for ways to make the most out of each collection, and to use their papers and embellishments in unique and practical ways. I paired the Simple Vintage Scary Stories collection with a Tim Holtz wooden box to create a display card-type of project that serves as a home decor piece during the month leading up to Halloween, but it also includes prompts and ideas of activities that the family can do and enjoy together during this time of the year.
I started by cutting the entire tags, 3x4 elements, journal elements 12x12 papers and the 3x4 cards from the 6x8 paper pad. I added machine stitching to each piece, and I then sorted them and placed them in the box. It was time to go through all the bits & pieces, and embellishments to see what pieces would go well with each card.
Next, I put together a list of family activities and wrote those on the back of the cards. The idea is to pick a card on a random day and do something fun as a family. There are empty cards that can hold photos on the back, and we can also add extra journaling sharing our own thoughts about what we did. I love that I got to use so many embellishments to create this project and I also get to display it in the living room for all of us to enjoy.
I hope this project inspires you to pick this fun collection to document some Halloween memories. I cannot wait to see what you create with it.
Love,
Andrea.
