Triangle of Treats

This trianlge box is easier than it looks. I used a 4 1/8 by 8 1/4 piece of More Mustard cardstock. I scored it on half long wise at the 4 1/4 mark. At each end, I made a little tick mark in the center. I then scored it from the each corner the tock mark on both sides, turned it around, and scored the other side. I then cut a triangle from the SU! DSP Spice Cake. I adhered it to the front. I used a small rectangle of Pool Party cardstock to set the tag off a little more. It needed a little something behind the tag. I did round the corners.

I used the Thanksgiving stamp from the set Gift Givers. I used Chocolate Chip ink to stamp it on Very Vanilla. I set this aside to dry a bit. After it dried, I used my ink pads and a blender pen to color in the image in Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, Pool Party, and More Mustard. I punched it out with SU! Curly Label punch. I layed my stamped image on my Pool Party cardstock with dimensionals and then popped the whole thing up on the front of the box. I punched holes at the top on each side and tied the triangle box closed with some Soft Suede 3/8 inch Taffeta Ribbon. But wait... before you tie it closed be sure to fill it with a favorite treat of the intended recipient. I am filling mine with Hershey Kisses with Caramel. OKAY!! I admit it... they are one of MY favorites.

Halloween Treats Part 1- Clear Cellophane Treat Bag Topper

To share with you today I have a Halloween treat bag filled with orange and black Sixlets. These are a great treats to send to school with the little ones because they are processed in a peanut free facility.

I used Stampin' Up!'s clear cellophane treat bags that are in the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 11. They are perfect for filling with a variety of different candies from M & M's, Sixlets, candy corn, Reese's Pieces, and just about any other small candy. Don't want to use candy? How about pencils?

I filled the bag with alternating colors. The bag has a sticky strip at the end so it is easy to close after you fill it. Just peel of the protector and close. I then used the Round Tab punch from SU! to punch out Cajun Craze cardstock. I folded it in half and stapled it to the top of the bag. So the recipient didn't have to tear the tag, I made sure the sticky strip end was at the bottom and attached the tab at the opposite end. I then used the Happy Halloween stamp for the SU! set Gift Givers in Basic Black and stamped it onto Whisper White cardsotock. I colored then in using SU! inks in Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, and Daffodil Delight for the pumpkins, stems, and beaks. I then used a SU! Decorative Label punch to punch out the image and in a few quick seconds my project was complete because I just had to glue them over the tab with adhesive.

I made about 40 of these. I handed them out to my classmates in my Classroom Management class, the busdriver, both of the girls' teachers, the after school program workers, and the secretaries, principal, guidance counselor, and IS teacher at the school, who Lizzie takes her tests with. I hope it brightened their day, even if it was just a little.
