Halloween Treats

These are the last two projects that we will be making at my fall buffet. I wanted to incorporate a couple of treat holder options. I saw these ideas online and thought they were so cute!

This first project is a large treat holder that will hold lots of candy. It could fit a large bag of Skittles or M&M's or a larger candy bar. It could also be filled with a lot of smaller candies. There are two die cuts made from the Top Note die with a box in between them.

Stamps: none
Paper: Lucky Limeade, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note die, Simply Scored, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Curly Label punch, 1/2" Circle punch
Inspired by this project

This treat holder is much smaller and would be perfect to send in a little something to a child's classroom or it could even be used as a small treat for Thanksgiving dinner. Like the Frankenstein box above, it is a box with a pumpkin on each side. It would hold three Hershey's nuggets or kisses.

Stamps: none
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Gumball Green, Early Espresso
Ink: none
Accessories: Extra-Large Oval punch, Big Shot, Little Leaves Sizzlit, Word Window punch

Here is a side-by-side picture so you can see the size comparison between the two. Despite being quite different is size, they will take approximately the same amount of time to create.

Three Challenges!

Hello All! I have a little Easter treat to share today. It is a quick little project, but oh so cute! This would be a great little treat to give to a co-worker or to hand out at your family Easter celebration. I made it using the Pillow Box die in my Big Shot and the Everyday Enchantment DSP (my favorite DSP of all time)! I also punched a window in the box with my Extra-Large Oval punch and used the oval folder from the Designer Frames embossing folders set (how awesome is it that the folder and punch coordinate perfectly?) to accent it a little. I used glue dots to attach a piece of window sheet inside the treat container (to keep the candy from falling out), added the Happy Easter sentiment, and finished it off with some sweet little flowers made with the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack and some pearls. What do you think?

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:

Stamps: Teeny, Tiny Wishes

Paper: Everyday Enchantment DSP, Very Vanilla CS, Wild Wasabi CS, Pear Pizzazz CS, Poppy Parade CS, Calypso Coral CS, Peach Parfait CS, Pool Party CS, Baja Breeze CS
