Halloween Treat ideas


I haven't posted for a while, as I've been busy creating and was busy this week end with visiting family.  We had so much fun!. Can't wait until they visit again!  This week end I created these cute little treat holders, inspired by Jackie Beers, at BLueLineStamping.com.  The hold the new Stampin' Up Treat Tubes from the Holiday catalog.  I added them to a collection of Halloween cards and treats packages I've been working on.
  


I think they are a fun addition to the Halloween display I've been working in.
    



Fall and Holiday themes have always been my favorite to create.  Imagine the fun of sending these cute cards to say "Hi" to someone, or the fun treats to handout to Halloween trick or treaters. 


I have used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie for most of my Halloween project so far.  This project added two additional colors.  Rich Razzleberry and and Lemon Lime Twist.  

I've use Rich Razzleberry as the base for this little treat holder for the Treat Tubes. The top is punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Then I used Spooky Night Designer Series Paper to decorate the treat holder.  I've filled the treat tubes with different kinds of candies to see which fits in the tube, and I'm happy to report that many small candies fit perfectly.  Candy Corn, M&Ms and Jelly Beans that match our Stampin' Up! colors have been my favorite.


Trick or Treat Tube Holders using Cat Punch from Stampin' Up!

In the treat holder above, I filled the treat tube with Lemon Lime Twist jelly beans.  (That's what I call them!)  They looked so good, I filled one our our small Clear Tiny Treat Boxes with the jelly beans as well to show you how you can coordinate our colors with the candies of the same colors.  I've decorated this treat holder with the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper.  Looking at this now, I'm going to add a punched Lemon Lime Twist cat using the new cat punch to the treat holder above.





This is a side view of the Treat Tube holder, showing the small layer in the bottom of the folded holder showing how the treat tube is held in position. 



Here are dimension for making the holders:

Base cardstock:
Cut to 2 X 9-3/4".  Scored at 1/2, 1-1/2, 3-1/2, 4-1/2

Punch the center of the surface after the second score line with a 3/4" circle punch

Base for holder:
Cut cardstock to 3" X 2".  Score 1/2" all around
Punch a 3/4" hole in the center.
Cut up to score lines on each end.  
Fold on score lines and tape ends sides to inside of ends.
I glued the base to the inside of the holder.

Golden Anniversary Card using Stampin' Up! Gold Foils

  • Easy Happy Anniversary card
  • Coordinating Coffee Cafe stamp sets

Happy 50th Anniversary card


This week end I was able to play with friends making cards, and also created this card for friends celebrating their 50th Anniversary.  

I used Gold foil sheets, Gold embossing, and one of the Gold Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate designs to create this card.  I also added a crisp white detailed die cut heart created with the Blooming Heart Thinlit, giving the card even more texture.  

  



With Gold foil and Gold embossing the focus of this card, I die cut the 50 from a Gold foil sheet using the Large Numbers Framelits.  The coordinating stamp set and thinlits dies includes the banner and sentiment at the bottom of the numbers as well as the tag for the "th" at the side of the large 50.

I accented the Whisper White card with a very detailed heart under the large numbers, using the Blooming Heart Thinlit.  To ensure all the chads were removed easily, I ran the die bush over the die cut before removing it from the Thinlit.  







The card is difficult to photograph to show the true simmer of the Gold foil and Gold acetate, but you'll see some of the bling effect in the above photo.  White flowers to accent the heart are part of the Blooming Heart Framelit die.  The center of each flower is accented with Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes.

While crafting with friends this week, I set up a display to showcase some of the variety of cards that can be made with the Coffee Cups framelits. If you missed this in the new Holiday catalog, you'll love that this framelit die set has two coordinating stamp sets with themes appropriate year-round.  Its quickly becoming one of my favorites!   With every-day these as well as holiday themes, this set creates fun cards for anyone, any time of the year. Check out the Coffee Cafe stamp set and the Merry Cafe stamp set that coordinate with these Framelits.
