Halloween Treat Holders

Happy Halloween everyone.  I thought I would share my one and only Halloween project for this year.  I made these treat holders for my neighborhood trick or treaters and for a few friends. 

I love Reese Peanut Butter cups so I filled my treat holders with them.  Let's be honest here, I ate a bunch of them too....lol  One for me-two for the box, one for me-two for the box.  It was so much fun making these.

This little pumpkin box was a cinch to make.  Thanks for the help from Recollection and Michael's.  I hadn't seen these cute little kits all season.  I went into Michael's last Saturday night and there these were at 60% off so I grabbed the last package and made them up.  The only thing I added was the spider an the "Spooky" stamp.  Everything else came in the kit.

These are miniature milk cartons made with a Sizzix die.  I used Brenda Walton's Decorative Strip Medallions die to decorate them along with some Recollection stickers.  I made 20 of these today-so they make up fast and were super easy.

Here's just a little close up of the Medallion.  I added a Spellbinders Scallop die behind the smaller rosette and some banners at the bottom.  Really fun to make.

This is also a Recollection kit from Michael's  I added the spider web, ribbon bow, bat and stamped image.  I also trimmed the edge of the coffin with a Martha Stewart spider web border.  You can't see it in the picture, but it looks pretty.

 

This was a quick project that I finished this weekend.   I hope you have enjoyed it.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Mint Patty Party Favors

So you are having the girls over for cake and coffee right - just a little get together. Do you really want to impress them and make them feel special, well how about putting a few of these together. I promise they are so sweet, pretty, and easy to make.

Whether you want these for tea with you Daughter or Granddaughter or to do them on a larger scale for a Bridal shower these are adorable and so easy to make.

I went to the dollar store and picked up some Palmer Mint Patties. I used the Spellbinders Large Scalloped Circle die for the top and bottom and sandwiched the mint patty in between. I used a White Prima Rose that I distressed with Worn Lipstick Distress ink and glued it in the middle on top. The green gingham ribbon is 1/4" and I tied a small bow and glued to one side. The butterfly is Martha Stewart and so is the little leaf punches. Easy peasy. Just stickle the roses for some sparkle. These are super easy and you can make up a bunch to have on hand for a special get-together.

If you make some of these, please let me know I would love to come visit and see your creation!  Thanks for stopping by.  It was my pleasure to have you visit for a spell.  Have a great day!
