Boo Treat Holder

Happy Friday!  Normally I post on Saturdays but I’ve decided to make the change to Friday.

Today I have a treat holder and a video.  You’ll see how easy it is to make!  This was one of my special monthly projects several months ago but no one qualified for it so I’m releasing it today.

Here’s a PDF for the project as well:  BOO Treat Holder

Stenciled Leaf

Stenciled LeafIsn’t it fun when you can find a different way to use a product?  Well this card is it! Using my Leaflets Framelits, I made a stencil!

Leaf Stencil

Using a piece of Thick Whisper White, I created my stencil.  I felt that the thicker cardstock would hold up better once I started sponging.  Using my Stamping Sponges, I sponged Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry inside the stencil.  The sponge left some streaks on the leaf but I really like that effect.   I also sponged around the edges with Cajun Craze but I used a sponge dauber. I added a bow near the stem using two pieces of Linen Thread.  My sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso using the stamp set One Big Meaning.

This card was really fun to make!  Pull out your Framelits and give it a try!

Itty Bitty Treat Bag

OCTOBER HOST CODE: GU6J472B

For You Treat BagIt’s the start of a new week!  I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!  Today I have another treat holder but this one is teeny tiny.  A “fun size” piece of candy would fit inside or some other small treat.  The pictures below will give you an idea of the size.

They are quite easy to make and oh so cute.  You’ll need a little bit of adhesive on the side and for the bottom flap.  Here you’ll find a Recipe Card PDF for the project (I like to keep them in a binder for future reference) with the supplies and measurements:  For You Treat Bag

Many thanks to Erica Cerwin for this cute idea!

Halloween Candy Matchbox

Candy Matchbox closed

I don’t usually give cards on Halloween but I do like to give treats that are packaged in a cute way.  I wanted a box that would fit a mini package of Rolos and this is the box I created.

Candy Matchbox side

Candy Matchbox drawer and cover

The base of the box is made with Basic Black and the cover that wraps around is Happy Haunting DSP.  I just purchased the Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon – what was I waiting for??? It is absolutely gorgeous.  It’s a little hard to tell in the photo but my sentiment sits on top of  our Black Glimmer paper.

Watch the video to see how to create this box!

If you place a minimum $25 order this month using the host code – GU6J472B – at my Stampin’ Up! online store, I’ll send you the materials to make this kit along with two other projects.  You’ll just need to provide your own ink, adhesive and stamps.  Click here for more details!

Getting More Out of Your Thinlits

Purchasing Framelits or Thinlits for your Big Shot can be a big investment and it’s nice when you discover multiple ways to use them. The new Mini Treat Bag Thinlits in the Annual Catalog make a cute treat bag.  Today’s video from Stampin’ Up! shows you another sized bag that you can make with them!

Bat Pillow Box

Bat Boo Pillow Box

Today’s project is one of my monthly ordering specials this month.  With a minimum $25 order at my Stampin’ Up! online store, you’ll receive all the materials needed to make my Bat Pillow Box along with two more projects.   You’ll just need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamps (I cannot send stamped images per Stampin’ Up! policy).  For more details on the Monthly Ordering Specials, click here!

Using the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies makes this a very quick project to put together.  I placed a window sheet across the opening of the box because isn’t it fun to get a glimpse of what’s inside? The “window” is included in the die set!  I placed a glue dot on each corner of the window sheet which will keep it firmly in place. I used the stamp set Cheer All Year to stamp my bat which I then fussy cut as we don’t have a punch or thinlit for him (I wish we did).  Using a purple Sharpie, I colored two rhinestones for his eyes.
