Toil & Trouble treat bag topper

October 20, 2013October 18, 2013 by Judi Anderson

Last week I shared a card I created using the Toil & Trouble stamp set. Today I want to share a quick and easy treat holder that you can create with the same bundle I am offering.

For this project I was designing a treat bag topper. I love to fill cello bags with assorted treats and love to hear the delight as the children receive their special treat. This bag topper measures 3×3 when completed so it could also be used as a treat tag too! You could wrap a bundle of chocolate covered pretzels together with ribbon and tie this as a tag to it.

I know you are planning on making special treats for the kiddies and your friends. I offered you an exclusive bundle to help make this preparation quick and easy. Remeber this bundle and my bonus add on materials are only available until Oct. 20,2013. Need another look at the bundle & my add on? Here it is:

Halloween Toil and Trouble

October 9, 2013 by Judi Anderson

I have set out to creating some fun projects with my Toil & Trouble stamp set. I will be creating a few projects to share treats with friends and others I meet while taking my granddaughter out for our fall walks. I also want to share these projects with you. I know you are going to want to re-create some, who am I kidding?? You’re going to want to make all of these projects!!!!I put together a bundle of products you may ant to purchase so you can create them too, see this bundle at the end of this post.

You’re going to want to be sure to read all the way to the bottom to find out how you can receive some product to create these projects from me for FREE!

Today I am going to share elements of the card I am in the process of designing to send to my brother’s family. I will send this card along with a box of home made treats for them to enjoy.

I stamped the verse in the Toil & Trouble stamp set onto Tangerine Tango cardstock using StazOn Jet Black ink.

Ummm. . . . . . . we need a little bit of bling. I grabbed my Dazzling Details and added dots where ever I thought it needed it.

Still a little more is needed….

I stamped the crow from the Toil & Trouble stamp set onto Very Vanilla cardstock, cut it out and popped it onto the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Still needing a bit more. . . . . . . .

This element of my card was screaming ribbon, ribbon, ribbon, to me.

I grabbed my Basic Black seam binding ribbon, crunched it up and put it along the right side.

There, I think this element of my card is done.

. . . . . . on to the next element

I set the first element on the basic black cardstock for placement of the skulls. I stamped them onto the basic black using Whisper White craft ink.

They look good but. . . . needed the “scare” factor !

Grab the Dazzling Details , add a dot to the eye cavity . . . . . . . . Beware, I’m watching you!!

( yes, I am entertained quite easily. )

I want my elements to “pop” so I chose Crushed Curry as my card base. Be sure to come back tomorrow to see how I put these all together..

Ghoulish Googlies Bundle and lollies for treats and decor

September 8, 2012 by Judi Anderson

I am sharing another treat idea I created using the Ghoulish Googlies Bundle for the Scrapbook Expo. Before I get into the details let me ask you…… if you haven't purchased our Silicone Craft Mat (# 127853) found in the Holiday Catalog on page 31… "What are you waiting for???" This item is a must have for every crafter out there.. Ok, now that I got that off my chest, back to the project at hand.

I started out creating the treat tube out of your everyday toilet paper tube- start
saving those babies now- once you make one you will be addicted! I decorated it with our Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series paper ( # 126906), attaching it using Sticky Strip. I added bling by applying Champaign Glass Glitter # 120997 where the 2 different DSP patterns met.

It was still a little plain so I stepped it up a notch with our Crumb Cake 3 1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon # 127840. Oh my gosh…. tell me, just who doesn't love this stuff?? It is to die for! I cut a 8" piece, folded it in 1/2, and ran a running stich using our Bakers Twine, gathered it up, tied a knot then a bow and, walla! Such a fun, sofisticated touch to a toilet paper tube!

I cut a 1 1/4" strip of the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, scored it every 1/2" using our Simply Scored Scoring Tool, secured the ends with Sticky Strip and made the lollie. I put a blob of hot glue on the Silicone Craft Mat (# 127853), pressed down the lollie so the center was in the hot glue and held it until it cooled enough to let go. Once it cooled completely I just peeled the hot glue off the Silicone Craft mat. Yep. It was just THAT easy peasy!! I told you this is a must have for all crafters!! I decorated it by stamping the witch image onto Very Vanilla Cardstock then punching it out using our 1 3/4" Circle Punch. A little coloring and add the googly eyes, some Champaign Glass Glitter for the edges of the lollie. Fill one of our 4×6 cello bags with some treats to tuck inside~who wouldn't love getting this Halloween treat?

I can't wait! I want to buy it all now!!

I made the other 2 larger lollies to show how you could also use the toilet paper treat holder and larger lollies as table decorations for your Halloween party.

Oh, I just got another idea! Why not attach a few fun lollies to one of those headbands with antenae??

Oh, the possibilities are endless…..

Go to my Online Store now to purchase materials to get your Halloween decorating started today!

Don't forget the Silicone Craft Mat!

By now I am sure you have noticed that Bootiful Occasions is a stamp set that I am using quite bit. Fall is my favorite season & I just love creating Halloween projects . I have so many ideas using the Bootiful Occasions stamp set and I love sharing them with you. This card uses alot of our merchandise, however, I want to let you know I went to my scrap bin for many of the pieces used in this card. I often wonder when saving some of my scraps why I do. isn’t it amazing how it seems you will find “just that right piece” in your scrap bin?

Tip: I ran the whisper white cardstock and the basic black scallop circle through the Big Shot at the same time in the Web embossing folder.

Here is all that I used to create this fun card:

Stamps: Bootiful Occasions

Inks: Basic Black, Whisper White craft, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive & Tangerine Tango Stampin’ Write Markers

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Old Olive, Basic Black, Silver Glitter, Rich Razzleberry DSP

Misc: Web embossing folder, Old Olive dotted ribbon, large oval,Curly Label & Scallop Trim Border punches, Multi-purpose adhesive sheets, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Big Shot, Brayer, Basic Rhimestones, Brights Buttons, Linen Thread, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I htink if I were a witch I would want to wear this blingy boot! More samples from the Bootiful Occasions stamp set will be coming……

House of Haunts, retiring Stampin’ Up! stamp set

February 17, 2014May 22, 2012 by Judi Anderson

The House of Haunts stamp set is a great set to use for your Halloween parties for decorations, invitations, favors and more.I just love the haunted house in this set. I was asked to create some fun projects for a friends’ Halloween party last year. I created toppers for cupcakes using this stamp. I stamped the image onto Concord Crush card stock, using our Basic Black Craft Pad, sprinkled Black embossing powder on 1/2 the images and Silver embossing powder on the other half. I cut each one out, omitting the moon,and then secured them to the front of a toothpick. On the back of this I attached Daffodil Delight 1 1/2″ circle I punched and attached it to a Basic Gray circle that I cut using the circle #2 die for the Big Shot. These were then stuck into purple frosted cupcakes. The tree and pumpkin stamps in the House of Haunts set are great to add to food labels to tell your guests what all those ghoulish treats are. I thought I had saved a few samples of these and the invitations but I was unable to find them. I am sharing one of the samples of the invitations she had to choose from. We went with this design but added “You’re Invited” in White StazOn ink to the punched bat and a few Rhinestone jewels to the Haunted House.
