Sweet Centers Halloween Treat

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Sweet Center Stamp Set - Halloween treatsI 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.

Sweet Treats Stamp SetThe ‘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

Isn’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.
