Halloween treats!

Hi Friends,

I've been so busy at home and haven't been able to post for a while but I found some time to share a quick 'Halloween treats' post with you today that I made for my son's class!

For the kids treats I used a spider and bat image from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons and a cauldron, and owl from Miss Kate Cuttables. For the teachers treat I used this file from the Silhouette Design Store which is a Lori Whitlock file and the monster title from Miss Kate Cuttables.

I also made some paper clips using jumbo clips in orange and purple and added some dotted ribbon.

I added a Halloween marshmallow chocolate bar into the envelope and sealed it with a print and cut sticker. The sticker paper I used was a very thin one from Staples.

To carry all these treats to school my son will be using his Halloween bag. I used printable transfer paper (for dark material ... seems to works better than the light version!) and used my heat press to adhere it to the bag. The image is from Studio Ilustrado and can be found in their store as well as the Silhouette Design store and is currently on SALE!

Thank you for visiting today.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Easter on my mind!

Hello again friends,

Today I am sharing a cute lollipop holder from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons called 'Stitched Heart Lollipop Holder ' - as you might know I'm a big fan and love their cute and gorgeous files. I changed the Love theme to Easter for this project.

I added a sweet little chick to the front of this holder - this Chick in Egg is from Miss Kate Cuttables (they offer a freebie file every day then it usually moves into the $0.50 section - still a bargain!!).

I used foam dots to raise the chick on the holder - I love him, he's super cute! What do you think? The paper I used had the yellow pattern on one side so looked plain when I added the lollipops and folded it so I cut out some Easter/Spring patterned paper and glued that to the inside.

I found these sweet little carrot and egg lollipops at the Dollar store and thought they'd be perfect for this little project - they just fitted in the holder :-)

These would be great for classroom treats or for Easter Egg Hunting street parties!

The glue I used for this project were my ATG gun and Tombow Multi liquid glue. I'm not a big fan of my ATG gun, I've tried it a few times but I think I've put it together incorrectly lol - can anyone suggest a tutorial for me!?!

Thank you for visiting today.

Happy Crafting!
