Halloween Chocolate Coin Treat Bags

Aren't these the most adorable treat?  This was the make and take at a recent group meeting that I was unable to attend.  But a sweet friend and the hostess made it and saved it for me – thanks Becky of Inking Idaho

 This could be adapted for Christmas as well.

This project uses the Cookie Cutter Halloween set, the matching Cookie Cutter builder Punch, Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper, Tin of Tags (which is a versatile greeting set -- Christmas, birthday, Halloween -- you name it!), Pumpkin Pie & Whisper White Card Stock and the food safe 2"x8" Cellophane bags.

Add some google eyes to this cute skeleton!

Die cut or punch circles from the designer series paper to match the size of chocolate coin you use

You'll have a bowl full of these treats in no time!

Thanks for looking! All supplies can be purchase here

Spooky Syringe Pen Treat Card

When I saw a fellow demonstrator use one of these pens on her cute project I knew I had to have some.  I got mine on eBay but I've seen them on Amazon as well.  Mine write in black, but some write in red.  These would make cute gift for a doctor or nurse.

The pen holder was made by cutting a piece of Whisper White Card Stock 2" x 6 1/4".  I scored at 1 1/2,  2 1/4, and 3", and punched a 1/2" circle in the ledge which is where the pen will be held – hopefully the pictures will tell the story.

I didn't want stamping on the ledge so I folded the pieces with the holes to the back while I stamped the drip in Real Red (it is my favorite stamp in the Ghoulish Grunge set)– again I hope the picture explains adequately.  Clearly this would be easier to show in a video and I may get to that soon.

I stamped the drip from Gorgeous Grunge in Real Red on the bottom of the white panel and again in the corner of the card base.  The splat behind trick or treat is also from Gorgeous Grunge. I just got the Labeler Alphabet and used  it to stamp the letters for "Trick or Treat" in Tuxedo Black on a scrap of Whisper White card stock.  That set is going to be fun – this is the first, but certainly not the last, time I've used it.  Makes me want to dig out my old Dymo label maker!  Remember those?

The card base is Whisper White Thick – you'll want the thickness to help support the weight of the pen.  This card fits snugly into the clear envelopes. Those clear envelopes CAN be mailed and you get 50 for $5.00.  I won't mail these, they will be handed out in person!

I hope I've inspired you to start creating!  I'd love you to choose me as your demonstrator and order your Stampin' Up! supplies from my store.  When you order be sure to use the October Host Code 7ZKGME4F  when your order is $149 or less.

Paper Pumpkin Halloween & Alternative Projects

Since it was first introduced I've subscribed to "Paper Pumpkin" –  it is a complete and fully designed crafting kit that is delivered to your mailbox every month.  It always comes with at least one 1" Stampin' Spot ink cube and an exclusive photopolymer stamp set.  It is often a set of cards but this month it is a really cute 3D item.  Little tubes to fill and decorate for Halloween or Fall.

The kit has 16 tubes!  I made a few and filled them with candy corn.  So cute!  My grandsons will love them.  Here is a look at some of the supplies that come with the kit – enough to complete all the tubes and left over pieces too.

While I love them, I didn't want to make all 16 tubes for Halloween so I went to work on making some alternate projects. 

My first thought was to fill with some of my favorite embellishments. Now they are in a cute little jar I usually keep my green glue in and close at hand! I made a card, using a few additional supplies – Old Olive & Basic Black Card Stock and Basic Black ink.  Notice I used the "scrap" part of the banner stickers for a vertical line on the card.

The last project is what I'm going to use for place cards on my Thanksgiving table.  I put a bit of confetti in the vial for now, but I'm going to figure out something else (when I'm a little more mobile).  I cut a strip of Whisper White paper to layer onto the sticker banner and tied that on with some gold thick baker's twine from the Baker's Twine Trio Pack.

So are you ready to try Paper Pumpkin or do you know someone who would love it? From now through October 10 when you buy the next kit at $19.95 (that includes shipping) you get November free! Just enter BOGO at checkout and select me as your demonstrator.   Check out the Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin YouTube channel to see past kits. This is perfect to give as a gift to a new stamper, but fun for the experienced stamper as well.  If you love it, you can order a discounted 3, 6 or 12 month subscription from me or continue it month-to-month. But you can cancel after you receive your November kit with no further commitment.  Another advantage to being a subscriber you get to order kit refills when Stampin’ Up! makes them available.
