Bootiful Halloween Cup Carrier

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a great weekend!

Yesterday it was a day of prepping for the winter months and cleaning out. My hubby runs for cover when I say it's time to clean the garage out and get the summer stuff put away! I completely know how he feels but it's just one of those things that HAS to get done!

I'm sure by now your probably sick of seeing all these Halloween Cup Carriers made with the very small coffee cups but I just think they are the cutest things and a neat way to present someone with a little treat! You could even add a couple bucks to it or even a gift card. So today I have yet another carrier to share. This one is my favorite!

Bootiful Treat Carrier:

Stamps: Spooky Fun

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Black Glimmer Paper, Ghost Paper from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Circle & Scallop Circle Punches, SU Black Lace Ribbon, Black Clip, Boo Button from stash, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My cup is filled with Kit Kats, Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Muskateer & Twix Bite Size candy bars. 

The Ghost Paper I picked up last year at Hobby Lobby. Not sure if it's still available or not and the Black Glimmer Paper is from SU last year.

So, what do you think?

My thoughts today....

Haha! Story of my life!

That's all I have for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Another Halloween Cup Carrier

Hello & Happy Friday!

The weekend is finally here!

This week seemed like it dragged on even though I got alot accomplished at my stamp table! I'm very pleased! Many things have been created and just about ready for the craft show. All I need to do now is wait for the Christmas candies to come out in the stores! I'm sure once Halloween is over the candy will be out but in the meantime I will start working on some Christmas cards.

So, most of you know I have a really, REALLY good customer who loves the handmade cards & goodies. She phoned me over the weekend and placed another order with me. She loved the coffee cup carriers and requested 3 for Halloween. 

I have grown to enjoy making those carriers! Such a neat little way to present a treat! 

Here is one of the cup carriers I made for her.

You all know how much she loves that Motley Monsters DSP and I just so happen to have enough left to make a cup carrier with it. She will be tickled pink when she sees this! LOL

Spooky Fun Cup Carrier:

Stamps: Spooky Fun Bundle

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP, Black Glimmer Paper

Accessories: Circle & Scallop Circle Punches, Halloween Scenes Edgelits, Banner Punch, Black Clip, Tangerine & White Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Hope you like!

Halloween Cup Carrier

Hello & Happy Thursday!

A very rainy day is on tap here in PA today and that's fine with me!

Here is another mini coffee cup carrier I whipped up for Halloween.

.

My patterned paper is from Pebbles that I think came from AC Moore last year. Aren't those pumpkins cute? They are from the Spooky Fun Bundle. Since my sentiment is photopolymer I was able to curve my saying on the acrylic block and stamped it above my row of pumpkins. A strip of Pumpkin Pie Glimmer paper is held on with my black clip. I tied some Halloween Night Baker's Twine on my clip to finish it.

These carriers are so much fun to make!

******************************************************

My thoughts today......

Rainy days are always a pajama day here!

That's all for today!
Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Halloween Cup Carrier

Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

It's Monday and today i've got a challenge project to share with you!

My friend, Vicki Burdick, and I have been throwing little challenges at each other ever since I moved from Missouri back to Pennsylvania in 2011. I enjoy doing these with her, it keeps us close even though we are 1200 miles apart! She has become a very dear friend to my family & I. 

Last week when I shared my Gingerbread Coffee Cup Carrier she was the one who saw it first before it appeared on here. She was WOW'ed by it and there once again another challenge was born! Except this time we challenged each other to make a carrier decorated for Halloween! 

Game on, Miss Vicki!

Here is mine....

These things are SO much fun to create....I made a ton of them for the holidays this year! If your interested in making these, here is the link to Lisa Curcio's video tutorial. Her directions are very easy & simple. 

I think these make a great little treat for someone and it does not necessarily mean that it has to be for Halloween or any holiday. These could be whipped up for a Birthday, a Thank You or Just Because! You could always add a little treat in the cup and possibly a gift card or some cash. I promise this will make someone smile!

Halloween Coffee Cup Carrier:

Stamps: Spooky Fun

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper, Halloween Night Specialty DSP

Accessories: Halloween Scenes Framelits, Circle & Scallop Circle Punches, Wide Oval Punch, Banner Punch (flag end), Halloween Night Baker's Twine, Black Rhinestones, Black Clip, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I don't have any candy inside my cup yet as I haven't found the right treat yet! Eeeeek! My daughter & hubby gave me some flack for being in the candy isle way to long the other evening. I just have not found what i'm looking for yet! I'm also disappointed that M&M does not have M&M's in Halloween colors....they have Fall colors but nothing Halloween! Sigh, what's a crafter to do??!!

I hope you will stop by Vicki's blog, It's A Stamp Thing and see what she created for our little challenge. If I know Vicki....it's going to be something FaBOO-lous!

Kit Kat Candy Treats

Hello & Happy Sunday!

I been working on more fun treats for Halloween the last several days.

This project was leftover from last Halloween so I tore it apart and reused the main part.

It started out as this...

And after I tore them apart, I turned them into this....

My Basic Black cardstock strip is cut at 2 X 11 and then scored at 5 then again at 6. I placed both ends in the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to get the fancy top and hole to tie the Halloween Night Baker's Twine thru. The baker's twine is what holds it together. Inside I placed a 2 X 8 sized cello bag which I cut down to fit inside the 2 flaps. I used 2 Sided Tape on one side of the bag to hold it in place. I used the Halloween Night Specialty DSP on both sides of the candy holder. I used Spooky Fun for the adorable row of pumpkins & sentiment and at the bottom on the holder I added just a very tin strip of Pumpkin Pie Glimmer paper just for a pop of sparkle! I'm pretty pleased with these and will more than likely make more. I used Kit Kats inside my cello bags and they fit perfectly!

Kit Kat Candy Treat Holders:

Stamps: Spooky Fun

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Halloween Night Specialty DSP, Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper

Accessories: Halloween Scenes Framelits, Circle & Scallop Circle Punches, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Halloween Night Baker's Twine, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another easy treat holder to whip up in no time! 

***************************************

My thoughts today.....

Haha! One can wish, right?

That's all for today!

Stay tuned for tomorrow...more Halloween is coming!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

I love every single sheet in this pack!
