SUOC108 Freaky Friends

October 21, 2014 By Connie | 3 Comments

The theme over on SUO Challenges this week is “The Treat’s the Thing”. Of course, so close to Halloween, I naturally thought of Halloween treats so made my little holder with Stampin’ Up!’s Freaky Friends! Can you tell what I used? Yep! I used a portion of the Curvy Keepsake Box! Isn’t that fun?

Here are the details:

I used Tangerine Tango cardstock and cut two pieces that were about 3 1/2″ wide and cut just the side of the box that had the loop handle at the top.
I trimmed the bottom of both pieces so that I could overlap and adhere them.
I used the Large Polka Dot Folder and embossed both sides with it. Inside the large circles, I stamped the eyes from Freaky Friends with Tuxedo Black Ink on the front and back.
I punched a moon with the 1 3/4″ circle punch from Crushed Curry cardstock and sponged Tangerine Tango Ink around the edges, then stamped Ghoulish Greetings with Tuxedo Black Ink on it.
I stamped the cat and two bats with Tuxedo Black on scrap Whisper White, then cut them out and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To close, I tied Black Bakers Twine around it and tied a bow.
The holder will hold 1 or 2 mini candy bars like shown!

Isn’t this a fun and spooky treat holder??? I love using that Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlet in a little different way! Make sure to check out the rest of the Design Team’s creations over on SUO Challenges!

Pumpkin Treat Holder

Once a month, I do a Thrifty 3D Wednesday posting over on Stamping 411! This month, I chose to do a tutorial on this cute little Treat Holder you could use for Halloween or Thanksgiving! I plan on putting one at each of the place settings at our Thanksgiving Dinner. They are thrifty because you can get 5 of them out of ONE piece of 12×12 cardstock! A little DSP, some brads…and a quick and easy little treat is done!

Inside I have a little square of DOVE chocolate…yummy!

I have a full picture tutorial with measurements and supply list over on Stamping 411. Stop by and leave me a comment on what you think!

I actually made these little treat holders as a 3D swap at Convention…here is the one I did for swapping! Do you get one? Let me know!

Summer Treat

UPDATED LAST CHANCE LISTS

My Stamp Club members made this cute little treat holder at our last meeting. Nice and bright for summer! Inside I placed a tea bag package, but it would easily fit a Ghiradelli chocolate package, too. Or folded money or gift card if you wanted to give a little bit more.

I started with the base of Summer Sun measuring 7 1/2 x 3 1/2, scored it at 3 1/2 & 4. I covered the front with a 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock and then a 3 x 3 piece of Pink Flamingo Designer Paper. I notched out the corners with the Corner Tag Punch.

Inside, I cut Pink Flamingo Designer Paper 6×6 and scored one side at 1 1/2 and 4 1/4, turned it and scored the other way at 2 3/4 and 3 1/4. Fold the long sides in and adhere along the 1/4 overlap to form pouches and punched 1/2 of a circle from the 1" Circle Punch on each end. I centered and adhered it to the inside so the center fold marks line up with the outside Summer Sun score marks and adhere. I took my Crop A Dile and punched the small hole on each side between the score marks in the center. I placed some Tempting Turquoise 1/4 Grosgrain Ribbon between the holes and tied a knot bow on the outside. I filled one side with the Tea Bag packet and the other I made a small pull-out card. The greeting is from Curvy Verses. I used the Totally Tabs stamp set to decorate my Round Tab punched from Tempting Turquoise and added a small flower from Trio of Flowers Punch and a red Mini Brad to the center.

The Belly band is made 1 x 11 from Summer Sun cardstock. Wrap it around the closed and filled gift packet so you get the correct dimension. Adhere the tab. I covered the ends with my Wide Oval punched from Cameo Coral, stamped Just for You from Oval All stamp set in Basic Black on Whisper White and punched with the Large Oval. I also stamped Just for You on Tempting Turquoise, the punched it with the Scallop Oval punch. The Whisper White is layered over the Tempting Turquoise Scallop Oval and then the Cameo Coral Wide Oval piece. I added another of the Trio of flowers punched Summer Sun with a Red Mini Brad in the center.

I plan on making up a bunch of these for the bank where my husband works. He runs all the Retail Branches in the city. They do a Teller Appreciation Week where they bring in a little treat for all the tellers every day of the week. I also think it would be a nice something extra to mail to a sick friend or co-worker to let them know you are thinking of them.

I have new Stamp Clubs forming now! Let me know you want to join! You get to be the hostess one of the months and earn all the hostess benefits from that workshop! Long distance members will be mailed the kits for the projects we do on Club night.
