Halloween Candy Holder

This fun little candy holder was one of my Stamp-A-Stack projects this past week. Don’t miss my monthly "Stamp a Stack of Stuff"! The inspiration came from a gift card holder that I’ve made in the past (the finished product is only 3 1/4 x 4 1/2). However the unique ‘closure’ uses the ‘Batty for You’  spider adhered with a black brad, allowing the top fold to hold itself closed was a great idea I got from a recent swap (forgot the gal’s name–I can’t find the swap!). Updating it for Halloween, I made the fold over ‘gusseted’ by adding a 1/4 inch wide panel in the middle of the 6 x 4 1/4 inch Mustard fold over.  That way it could hold something 3D–in this case the fun sized candy!  The cover is "Spooky Skyline" rolled in black on Wild Wasabi (green) and the spooky skyline was helped out by tearing and the addition of a torn strip of vellum cardstock.  The witch (from ‘Home is Where the Haunt Is’) was stamped on Always Apricot, punched and then sponged again (in Apricot) for the whole "cloudy night sky" effect–I don’t know if you can tell!  Oh yeah, I couldn’t resist the great boogly eyes added to the spider–I’m a sucker for that stuff!
