I won’t lie, I’m addicted to candy. 

We can’t keep any in the house because I have zero self-control where it’s involved. And if someone offers me a tootsie-roll or air head I’m all over it. They’re my two favorite candies to chow down on.

Because we have lots of food allergies in our house we have to be careful what we bring into our home. So it’s always fun for me when I can go to the store and buy bags of any kind of candy I want to give to other people. And that’s exactly what I did for our son’s therapists this year as a thank you for all of their hard work!

Most people give Christmas gifts to their therapists (we will too) but I like celebrating every little opportunity to say thank you. They work so hard every day to help all of their patients hit their goals and I always feel like they are under-appreciated. 

And who doesn’t like candy? Honestly.

    Because this is something we deal with daily I think it’s important to ask and be mindful of that if you’re putting together gift bags. Halloween is a stressful time for any families with food allergies and being thoughtful about it is a HUGE relief for people like us. So thank you if you take the time to do that!

    FAQ’s for these Spooktacular Halloween Gift Tags

    What do you do if your machine isn’t recognizing the registration marks on your paper?

    Sometimes it’s just as simple as not having enough light. Make sure your room is brightly lit so that your Silhouette is able to read the registration marks! 

    If that doesn’t work try recalibrating your machine and then try having your machine read the registration marks.

    How do you fix it if your machine isn’t cutting the spooktacular Halloween gift tags and is just cutting random spots all over the paper?

    If your machine is not cutting out the tags then you need to recalibrate your machine. 

    I know it’s frustrating because you’ve wasted paper and ink but it happens to the best of us!

    Materials

    Tools

    • Silhouette Cameo
    • HP Printer

    Instructions

    1. Download the free SVG file and open it in your software.
    2. Under the PAGE SETUP TAB click paper size > letter. Then turn on the print border and cut border.
    3. Under the PAGE SETUP TAB click REGISTRATION MARKS. Click style > type 1.
    4. Move the LENGTH and INSET tabs all the way to the left and the THICKNESS tab all the way to the right. Then click PRINT.
    5. Once you print your design on your piece of paper, put it on your Silhouette mat and load it into your machine.
    6. Go to SEND. Make sure you have the correct paper type and blade type selected.
    7. Also make sure that the only part of your design that is highlighted is around the outside. If you’ve checked all of that, hit CUT! (SEE NOTE #1)
    8. I then cut the top of my sandwich ziploc bags, put candy in them, and tied it shut with string and added the Halloween gift tags!

    Notes

    1. If you notice that you have cut lines inside your gift tag (on all of the words) you're going to have to remove them. To do this go back into design mode and click UNGROUP on your gift tags. Then go back to your SEND tab and then hit NO CUT on everything expect the outer box of your gift tag and the small hole that your ribbon will go through. This will make sure that the only part of the gift tag that will be cut is the outside and the small ribbon hole.
