We are ready to get all that is black, orange, yellow and white out just in time to create for one of our favorite holidays, Halloween. The second biggest holiday season of the year, this fun holiday is for all ages.

Whether planning a party, sending out Halloween notes, creating personalized trick or treat bags or creating a mixed media book, filled with memories, we have what you need and more.

Along with our new papers, we created some fun, new blanks and sewn items, all with the Halloween season in mind. Many of the items are the perfect DIY surface for your next mantle or front door display or totes that yearn for a monogram or child’s name to be worn for a night of trick or treating.

We hope these ideas inspire you to try these Halloween projects you have had on your wish list.

Happy haunting,

the Canvas Home Basics team

, lil’ witching book This little book is just what the witch ordered this Halloween season. It is a great guest book for the costume party, simply fill the tabbed pages with our new Journaling Line Paper and ask each guest to leave a haunting note.

Going to a Halloween party? Take lots of pictures and fill each page with your favorite costumes.

Consider doing a Halloween Journal, filling the pages with all the fun activities that lead up to October 31st. The trip to the pumpkin patch, trick or treating, pumpkin carving, counting the candy, picking out a costume, office Halloween party....don’t be afraid to paint the pages, sew photos in place, and add texture and dimension. This great Display Photo Stand give your chunky book all the room it needs.

witch you were here card We take making Halloween cards just about as serious as we do Christmas. What a fun way to be creative and send a little note during the Halloween season. This card was designed with our new Halloween Stripe Printed Cardstock. The same paper used to make the legs for our lil’ witch on the book. We love the simplicity of the stripe and it

just says Halloween. Make an accordion with one of our coordinating papers and accent with our yellow burlap fringe and pieces cut from our Haunt It Sampler Printed Cardstock. With fun, little pieces to cut out and add to your card with no rules, our Samplers make card making so easy.

Treats for Trick or Treat, Halloween parties or school parties are fun when you put them in our Small Paper Bags.

Saggy Baggies are one of our favorite little totes. Designed to house Ball Jars, tin cans or plastic tubs when they need a little covering up.
