12 Treats for Halloween, Treat 9

· Leave a Comment

Some treats are quick. Some are not.

Some are meant to be given away and trashed immediately. Some are meant to be treasured for a little while longer.

This one today falls in the keep category.

Aren’t these nice?

And, take a peek when you pull the inside card out –

Best of both worlds.

These were easy to create. I used our Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bags and folded them in half. The rest is just using scraps to decorate the treat holder. I reversed them for fun and interest.

Go make a treat and make someones day!

12 Treats for Halloween, Treat 7

These ideas just keep coming.

You should have no shortage of what to do for Halloween treats this year. Simple or difficult!

How about this little number –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Boo To You Framelits, Envelope Liners Framelit Dies, Happy Haunting DSP, Happy Haunting Washi Tape, party favors

Cute, huh?

It’s the smallest of the Envelope Liners Framelits! I used Tear & Tape along the sides to hold it all together. Worked like a charm. Just like my little pumpkin hanging off the ribbon!

If you don’t have the Envelope Liners Framelits, you could always use a piece of card stock folded. It’d work too!

Go make a treat and make someones day!

12 Treats for Halloween, Treat 6

Half way through…Halloween will be here before you know it.

I have a quick share today –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Six Sayings Stamp Set, Fry Box Bigz, Happy Haunting DSP, party favors, Halloween Treats

It’s the little fry box filled with candy!

It’s really the perfect size for a gift card, a little gift or, candy!! And, since these are one piece when die cut, they go together very quickly.

So, go get started on your Halloween treats!

12 Treats for Halloween, Treat 5

Today is sort of a flashback Friday for my treat five.

Remember when I did these? It was soooo long ago. They’ve always been my favorite. So I recreated it –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Happy Haunting DSP, Six Sayings Stamp Set, Cellophane Bags, Handheld Stapler,

Can you say A D O R A B L E ???

You see the ghost marshmallow and chocolate bar, but there is also a graham behind them. It’s hiding.

And, again, easy easy. And, SO much fun!!!

I used our cello bags – the best – and our Handheld Stapler. Tip – place the rough closure part of the staple towards the front. Why? You’re going to cover it anyway, and, more importantly, it’s smooth to the tough on the back! Duh.

You know, if you’re liking all these treats and tips I’ve shown you, you can order supplies from me to recreate them!

Either way, go make a treat or card and make someones day!

12 Treats for Halloween, Treat 4

Well, I’m in full swing here with quick, last-minute treats you can create in a flash.

This is a nifty holder if you don’t have any bags or anything to ‘contain’ your candy. You can just make one!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Halloween treat, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Go Wild DSP Stack, Spider Web Doilies

This is nifty, isn’t it?

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Halloween treat, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Go Wild DSP Stack, Spider Web Doilies

Easy. Easy. The one I made uses a half sheet of card stock, measuring 5 1/2  x  8 1/2. Score at 4 1/4, like you are creating a card, then along each long side at 1/2.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Halloween treat, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Go Wild DSP Stack, Spider Web Doilies

Use Tear & Tape along the 1/2 edges on one side.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Halloween treat, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Go Wild DSP Stack, Spider Web Doilies

Fold in half. Make a diagonal cut at the fold to allow a little room when assembled.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Halloween treat, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Go Wild DSP Stack, Spider Web Doilies

Opened, it looks like this.

Scissors will cut right through the Tear & Tape Adhesive – makes this very easy to get the adhesive just where it needs to be.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Halloween treat, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Go Wild DSP Stack, Spider Web Doilies

Fold those scored lines back or up.

Adhere together. It will make an open type of pocket that you can easily fill!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Halloween treat, Howl-O-Ween Treat Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Go Wild DSP Stack, Spider Web Doilies

Pretty easy? Definitely cool! And, did I say fast??

I had the Cucumber Crush – the green one – on my last Card Buffet – total hit!

Go make a treat and make someones day! You can make mine by leaving a comment.

12 Treats for Halloween, Treat 1

· Leave a Comment

That’s right. 12 treats for Halloween! Well, only the first treat of twelve.

Join me over the next twelve days. I’ll have quick, last-minute Halloween treats you can make in a flash. Make for one, or make a ton.

These are simple. These are fun.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Happy Haunting DSP, sucker cover, Halloween treat holder, Wickedly Sweet Paper Pumpkin

Yep, these are sucker covers! I bought green apple suckers and just made a little cover for them.

Aren’t they just too cute?

I used the September Paper Pumpkin stamps to make these really quick.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Happy Haunting DSP, sucker cover, Halloween treat holder, Wickedly Sweet Paper Pumpkin

It’s sort of funny, these had a mind of their own and really didn’t like standing for the photo-op!

To make these, I just measured 1/4 of an inch around the sucker for my base and doubled it, scoring in half. You can change it up based on your sucker of choice.

These were 2 3/4 x 6 1/2, scored at 3 1/4. Making them 2 3/4 x 3 1/4.

I punched two holes at the bottom where the stick would go. I used Silver Cording to tie the sucker stick in place. Really quite simple. Question, please ask me!

So, what do you think? I love to read your comments!

Go make a treat and make someones day!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Blogging Friends Blog Hop, treat bag, A Little Something Stamp Set, Happy Scenes Stamp Set, Happy Haunting DSP, Black Glimmer Paper, Banner Triple Punch, DecorI took one of wood blocks left over from an unmounted stamp set, painted it and added a piece of Happy Haunting DSP to it. I decorated the photo and hug it on the block.
