Halloween Treat Idea

With Halloween just around the corner, I would like to share this adorable Halloween treat idea. It’s great to create fun treats to take to your co-workers, neighbors or even for the kids to take to school.  I have always loved creating Halloween goodies for family and friends. You will be the hit of all the Halloween festivities.  Let the children share with their friends.  Anyone will be the star of the show with this treat and even love to eat what’s inside..

Halloween Treat

Notice the bats from the Spooky Sweets stamp set.  I cut them all out with the Spooky Bats Punch (all from the Holiday Catalog).  You can get those products as a bundle from my online store.  I think the Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie really are great colors, but you can use any cardstock you have on hand.  Embellish with any accessories you like as I did and you are ready to fill it with love (or chocolate!!!).

Stay tuned for lots of holiday inspiration as we move through Fall and winter.  There are going to be so many weeks of holiday magic coming your way.  Speaking of the holidays, are you signed up for my 12 Weeks of Christmas.  It started last week but it’s not too late to join.  Just subscribe to my newsletter here and become a part of all the creativity.  Each week I send out a new holiday project newsletter.  All the ingredients, instructions and pictures you need to create a card, gift or packaging idea for all your family and friends.  It’s only for my newsletters subscribers so sign up today.

CASE the Catalog – Toil & Trouble Tiny Treat Box

This week’s CASE the Catalog highlights the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper used to decorate a Tiny Treat Box.  October has arrived so it’s time to think Halloween!  The inspiration for my project is on page 48 in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.  One of my “go to” products when preparing treats are the Tiny Treat Boxes so it was only natural that I selected one to CASE.  When you compare the projects, you will see a few changes with the addition of a witch’s hat and a circle of Gorgeous Grape behind the sentiment.  This is a quick project to make and will bring smiles to those that you treat for Halloween!

Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper

You will need the following materials to create this treat holder:

  • Clear Tiny Treat Boxes (#141699)
  • Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper (#147531)
  • Cauldron Bubble Bundle (Clear Mount #149331 or Wood Mount #149330)
  • Spider Trinkets (#147896) – aren’t they stinkin’ cute?!
  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock (#146897)
  • Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708)
  • Solid Black Baker’s Twine (#141682)
  • 1-3/4″ Circle Punch
  • 1-1/4″ Circle Punch

Many of the Cauldron Framelits dies match perfectly with images from the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper making it quick and easy to create projects.  Instead of stamping and coloring the witch’s hat, I chose one from the DSP and cut it with the coordinating framelit.  Easy-peasy!  You’ll be ready for Halloween in no time at all with this project and recipients will be delighted!
