Halloween Treats and Stamp Treats!

I made these simple and fun covers for mini-M&M treats for all of my Workshop attendees last night. They were very simple to put together and I got the idea from Patty Bennett. She used a different paper and a different shape for her mini Hershey Bars, but the bat, "boo" and moon with a golden bow were the same. I love how that moon looks!

I fussy cut those bats and the "boo" was cut using a 3/4" Circle Punch. My ink colors were Basic Black and Tangelo Twist. The Designer Paper is Typeset Specialty. I didn't really put folds into it, just use Tear & Tape to adhere it to the bag and then to itself. The pieces were cut 4" x 6".

I just got back in town from a long vacation, so this is the first opportunity to tell you about our Stamp Sale! Please take advantage of it TODAY, as it ends TOMORROW!!

Tap Tap Tap Note Cover

Time for me to play along with Design Team 2 at Pals Paper Arts! I'm a day late, but I'm not going to miss out!

I took these black and white, dollar-bin sticky pads and covered them with Strawberry Slush card stock. I stamped across the bottom third of the front with the typewriter keys from Tap Tap Tap. I used Basic Black ink.

I added a "doo-dad" to the front. My doo-dad consists of a Basic Black 2-3/8" scallop circle with a Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper 1-3/4" circle. On top of that I added a Pear Pizzaz flag that I stamped in Basic Black, also from the Tap Tap Tap stamp set. I tied Silver Baker's Twine under *note* and added "to self" with my Alphabet Rotary Stamp. Cute, huh? I'd love to hear what you think. Please leave your comments below!

Thank You Favors

My customers are coming over today for my Retired Items sale. I wanted to thank each of them, so I made these holders for hand gel. The colors of the hand gel inspired the colors of card stock that I chose. I used Tempting Turquoise, Calypso Coral and the new In Color, Hello Honey.

They are each tied up with a bow using the new Stitched Satin ribbon in Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon or Tangelo Twist. Around that bow, I tied another bow using the Gold Baker's Twine.

Here is a side view so you can see the gel. I put Mini Glue dots on the four corners of the bottom of the bottle to keep it in place in the holder. It's closed with a tiny strip of self-adhesive hook and loop tape. I used instructions from Yvette's Paper Garden. The holders come together very quickly and easily.

Here is the front view. I hope you liked looking. I enjoyed making these and I'm sure my guests will love taking one home. I also have extra "prizes" for each person who makes a purchase, and some other fun things to give away. Please leave your comments below.
