Twick or Tweet Treat Box
Posted: Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 | Comments
This adorable treat holder is actually ‘no more’ as I type. I left it on my stamping table and looks like some kids got into it. My own kids know better, so I’m thinking neighbor kids…
Anyway, good thing I have a photo and it was super easy to make anyway!
The body of the box is the ‘Bag With Scallops’ (#114519) Sizzix XL Die without the sides attached and decorated with the Halloween designer paper ‘Cast a Spell’ (#115677). It takes very little designer paper to dress this up and our Scalloped circle punch (#109043) fits nicely on top of the fold over scalloped flap.
The ghosts are from the Holiday Mini Catalog set ‘Twick or Tweet’ (#116497) and just outlined in Sahara Sand marker.
The Scalloped Oval punch (#114889) fits nicely into the Wide Oval punch (#112082), don’t you think? So well that three of my six projects last week for my Stamp a Stack used those two punches requiring me to order another pair of them. Although everyone shared nicely I am happy to report!
Sweet Centers Halloween Treat
Posted: Friday, September 18th, 2009 | Comments
I just *had* to have this set when it became available and then I must admit that I fell down on the job by not actually using it! This is part of my neverending disappointment at being born into working class… and not having the good sense to at least marry into it <big sigh>, 
.
So, I finally got the excuse to play with it for my Stamp a Stack last night where we made this simple ‘post card’ style treat!
I also used the House of Haunts ( #111574) stamped in black and added some spooky sponging with More Mustard and Old Olive inks and sponge daubers.
The ‘tag’ punch makes the perfect headstone… don’t you think?
The Sweet Centers set is an ‘all reason’ set that also has some cool accessories such as the clear treat holder cups (#116802, $3.95 for 12) and padded envelopes (#116911, $3.95 for 3) to aid in protecting the cup when mailing.
The ‘heart’ stamp has some very awesome Valentine’s day potential and of course the ‘ornament’ top stamp and the hot air balloon stamp look like they would be VERY fun to be creative with!
Enjoy & create!
Eat, Drink and Be Scary Halloween Treat Bag
Posted: Friday, October 17th, 2008 | CommentsIsn’t the candy in this bag awesome?! I got it at the local Giant supermarket, it is chocolate shaped like body parts (my favorite is the eyeballs)! The Top Note Sizzix die has a ’stitched’ border about 1/8 in inside that I cut off for the orange DSP so that you can see the black layer a ‘matted’ look.

House of Haunts again!
Posted: Monday, October 13th, 2008 | CommentsThis is the original "House of Haunts" card meant for my last month’s Stamp-a-Stack of Stuff… but the previous post ended up being the card we did.
It uses the same supplies but the haunted house is stamped on the Eggplant cardstock.
Be sure to sign up for my Stamp a Stack of Stuff for this Thursday evening (repeating Friday morning), register through my online Calendar.
So, which one do you like more?
