  5. I don’t have any scrapbook stores near me so do alot of online ordering. I’m always looking out for discounted shipping and sales.

  7. I’m always seeing free scrapbooking supplies in ordinary things- the mesh from a produce bag, fabric scraps, cards, etc. Most recently I used a cut out from advertisement.

  10. I have so much stuff now that I only buy things on sale or with a coupon. I also make sure that I buy enough for free shipping when that is an option!

  12. I save money by finding marked down items at my local craft stores. I also wait to make purchases for items over $10 when the stores has a 40-50% off coupon.

  16. I save money on scrapbooking by re-cycling tags, labels etc., especially the heavy-duty ones & the trinkets that come with some items!

  17. I save all my scraps and use them. I use the packaging from products. And I get scraps from other people too, I love hand-me-downs.

  21. You can submit a want on craigslist in the free column for anything, even scrapping stuff. Folks are constantly trying to get rid of things, as in a move. Also, it’s good to look for sales/good deals in the office supply stores & sewing/fabric stores, besides conventional craft stores.

  22. One way is by shopping with Peachy Cheap-Over 100 velvet 7Gypsy flowers today- Whoo Hoo! Also notice everything paper-anywhere-cards, tags from clothes, found nature items. I follow you on Twitter and will re-tweet! Thanks!

  25. I save money by using coupons (Michaels & JoAnn’s), finding supplies at Big Lots, and using what I already have. 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  26. I make my own embellishments and that helps to save money. Journaling blocks with rubber stamps, is just one idea. I sometimes take one whole scrapbooking session just to make elements so that I don’t have to worry about it when I am working on a page!

  28. I always keep an eye on the $1 stamps by the checkout at Michael’s and I make most of my own embellishments instead of buying them. Thanks for the giveaway!

  30. I love to buy universal pieces that can be used with any project and if I get them on sale that’s even better;}

    Thank you for the opprotunity!

  34. I definitely utilize coupons at big craft stores like Michaels and JoAnn’s. I also frequent sites like Peachy Cheap and Scrapbooksteals for their deal-a-day. I’ve gotten some great products! Thanks for this opportunity 🙂

  37. I save up and shop at my LSS swap sales twice a year with other customers plus use what I already have in my stash. Of course I never miss checking out what’s on sale each day at Peachy Cheap!

Freebie Friday – Vintage Halloween Candy Wrappers (Printable Ephemera)

If you grew up in the 70s, 80s or even 90s, you probably remember when Halloween candy looked different. The wrappers were bold. Slightly spooky. A little dramatic. Not overly glossy or cartoonish — just good old-fashioned Halloween charm.

That’s exactly the feeling I wanted to capture in this week’s Freebie Friday.

These Vintage Halloween Candy Wrappers printables are inspired by retro chocolate bar packaging, old-school sweet shop labels, and the kind of treats you’d imagine finding in a creaky corner store on October 31st. They’re colorful, slightly distressed, and full of nostalgic Halloween magic.

And yes… they look absolutely adorable in junk journals.

What’s Included in This Free Printable Set

This Halloween printable collection includes a mix of:

  • Vintage-style chocolate bar wrappers
     • Mini candy bar wrappers
     • Round candy stickers
     • Torn-edge candy labels
     • Crinkled wrapper designs
     • Classic Halloween color palettes (orange, black, purple, moss green, muted cream)
     • Full color, print-ready artwork
     • White background for ink-friendly home printing

The designs feature ghosts, pumpkins, witches, bats, black cats, and playful retro typography like “Trick or Treat,” “Spooky Chocolate,” “Boo Bites,” and “Witch’s Brew Caramels.”

They’re designed to feel collected — like a little stash of vintage Halloween candy ephemera tucked inside an old scrapbook.

Why Vintage Candy Wrappers Work So Well in Junk Journals

Candy wrappers are one of those unexpected pieces that add personality instantly. They’re playful, nostalgic, and slightly whimsical without feeling childish.

They add:

  • Seasonal storytelling
     • Pops of Halloween color
     • Fun focal points
     • Vintage market-style charm
     • Easy layering elements

If you’re building a Halloween junk journal, October daily, fall scrapbook, or even handmade treat packaging, these are such a fun detail.

Creative Ways to Use These Halloween Candy Wrapper Printables

This is where it gets fun.

Wrap Real Chocolate Bars

Print on lightweight paper, wrap around small chocolate bars, and secure with double-sided tape. It instantly turns a simple treat into something special.

Junk Journal Ephemera

Tuck the torn-edge versions into pockets. Layer the round stickers over tags. Use the crinkled designs as decorative accents.

Halloween Party Favors

Wrap mini chocolates for a vintage-style Halloween party. They look charming in little kraft paper bags.

Scrapbook Pages

Use the wrappers as journaling spots. Write a Halloween memory on the back before attaching to your page.

Handmade Gift Boxes

Glue a wrapper onto the top of a small box for themed packaging that feels intentional and creative.

Printing Tips for Best Results

To keep the colors vibrant but not overly saturated:

  • Print at 100% scale
     • Use high-quality print settings
     • Choose matte paper for a true vintage feel
     • Allow ink to fully dry before cutting

If you want a more distressed look, lightly sand the edges or ink around them with a soft brown ink.

Why I Love Vintage Halloween Aesthetic

There’s something about retro Halloween that feels less commercial and more magical. The ghosts aren’t scary — they’re charming. The pumpkins have personality. The witches are mischievous instead of frightening.

It feels like childhood memories mixed with craft room creativity. And honestly, that’s my favorite combination.

Build Your Vintage Halloween Collection

Pair these candy wrappers with:

  • Halloween tags
     • Vintage pumpkin labels
     • Black and orange journaling cards
     • Retro Halloween tickets
     • Faux apothecary labels

Layer them together to create a full Vintage Halloween Junk Journal series that feels cohesive and delightfully nostalgic.
