Mrs. Frank Treat Bag

I love these treat bags and make them every Halloween. This is a little white paper craft bag that I cut with scalloped edged scissors at the top then adhered Top Note die in Green Galore with Orchid cardstocks (both retired SU),black gingham ribbon, tag and circle punches used for features. This is a mix of various ideas I have seen for these bags from Splitcoast and on the internet.

This card is going out to a girl who is a music major and currently studying piano, she is going through some difficult times with MS. The gals on Splitcoast are getting together some cards to cheer her. I didn't have any SU music images so I had to use this piano and sentiment from Artful Inkables. All other supplies are by Stampin' Up, the designer paper is retired though.

Now You're Cookin'

This is the new Stampin' Up paper called Domestic Goddess and the Now You're Cookin' stamp. Sentiment is from the new set with the pinwheels. I took apart a popcorn holder and traced around it to make the template for this project and used the scallop edge punch at the top edge.

Mark's Finest Paper Blog Hop Day 4

Today's featured set is called Take A Peek. Cute as can be!
I made a little birdhouse and filled it with treats. Stamped the raccoon on the house and colored it in Copic markers before assembling the template. I used the word Peek! from the full sentiment and cut it from a scalloped oval Nestability die. I've been into making treat containers lately with a lot of December birthdays and holidays coming up this month.

Mark’s Finest Papers

Sweet Treat Carrot

I was throwing away the packaging from my Tombo adhesive refill and noticed that the plastic looked a little like a carrot. Hmm...I made a sweet treat cup out of this and filled it with Reese's Pieces and added some Olive polytwill ribbon for top. The white cardstock was run through the Big Shot using the SU Eyelet Texturz plate after having been stamped with the retired Spring Gifts bunny and a sentiment. Matted to Only Orange and Old Olive card base.

Tart & Tangy Fruit Slices

For today's Scratch and sniff technique, I used a little Lemon Lime jello mixed in with my embossing powder for the lemon slice sentiment. Tart & Tangy stamp set on a Whisper White pillow box, I cut an oval in the center and covered that with a small piece of acetate for the window. Fruit slice colors: Real Red, Regal Rose, Yoyo Yellow, Green Galore, Only Orange. Crushed Curry ribbon and scallop circle.

I used retired Stampin' Up holiday d.p. with a Chocolate Chip cardstock base, Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon, retired jumbo white eyelets, lace trim, and a silk poinsettia I stole from the garland on my fireplace mantel.
The tutorial for the shipping tag holder is on Splitcoast today.

Triangle Treat Box

An easy to make treat box found in the Resources section from SCS, you start with a piece of cardstock 3"x11". Scorea at 3, 6, 9". Bring ends together to form a triangle but don't adhere yet. Trace the triangle shape as you hold the cardstock together in that shape. Add about 1/4 additional inch on all sides for fold. Cut out and adhere to bottom, completely adhering all ends.
I used all Stampin' Up supplies:
Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Old Olive cardstocks, last year's holiday ribbon for band, this year's mini ribbon Olive taffeta, colored image in markers.

Green Beer? Inchies Challenge

Today's Belli Challenge hosted by Chrissy Dickinson was to use inchies.
I used a little leprechaun stamp by Sonlight Impressions colored in markers, layered with Garden Green, Brushed Gold, and Whisper White cardstocks. Tied with stretchy gold cord. Glass was etched white shamrocks on it, I filled with green and white jelly beans to look like St. Patty's Day beer. I will seal this with plastic wrap and a round bit of lace and some ribbon to give as gifts.
