Good Monday morning!! Well, so far so good, lol!!! I had a wonderful weekend although no crafting time BUT I think sometimes it's good to step away and do some other fun things like SHOPPING :-) Although I did some crafty shopping, heehee!!! Got some frames for Christmas presents - now just to get them done :-) Hopefully I will be able to share some of those soon! Today I am going to share another one of our chocolately projects we did in
Chicks and Chocolate class last week! This is a cute little candy holder that has a cello bag full of treats inside! The base of this project is
Concord Crush card stock and I have decided this is a PERFECT color for Halloween projects, lol! I love it paired with the
Daffodil Delight card stock as it is here! The flap of the holder is border punched with the
Scallop border punch, and then
Daffodil Delight grosgrain ribbon is threaded through the entire holder to keep it closed. As you can see, there are several layers on the front, including a piece of very fun patterned paper from the
Frightful Sight Designer Series paper pack. It has bats all over it with spider webs, super cute!! The image is stamped on a
3 inch circle cut on the
Big Shot and nests inside a
31/2 Concord Crush circle also cut on the
Big Shot. The image itself is stamped in
Black Stazon and is from the
House of Haunts stamp set - one of my favorite Halloween sets! The sentiment and bats are from the
Wicked Cool stamp set, and pairs perfectly with the house! It is stamped on
Daffodil Delight card stock, then punched out with the
Modern Label punch.
The real fun part of this little holder is the inside - that's where the chocolate is!! Well, it is if your teenagers don't see the chocolate - no more in there now, LOL!! This is a side view of the holder so you can see how it holds the treats. There is a
medium cello bag secured inside the holder with
red sticky tape, and because the
cello bag has a resealable flap, this little treat can be refilled again and again (well, if you want *wink*) It actually holds quite a bit of candy and could hold a couple of mini chocolate bars, lots of m&ms, and of course the hershey kisses you see here! This is a wonderful little treat holder that makes a great gift for your kiddos or your sweetheart - I plan on making a bunch of these for Tony to take to work and hand out to some of his staff members. Well, I didn't REALLY plan on it, he begged me to do it, heehee!! I can't resist that man so yes, I will do that for him! He only needs FORTY of them, ROFL!!! It will be fun to do and I can play around with different images and such!! I hope you like this cute little treat holder! If you like the products you see here, you can order them in
my online store, or you can
contact me and I will be happy to take your order for you! I will be holding another
Chicks and Chocolate class for Christmas treats as well, so if you would like to make these fun holders with me and some other stampy friends, watch the calendar for the class listing :-) Now, I am off to the post office to mail out some cards to friends (love to send handmade cards) and get ready for the week! Have a wonderful day, and I hope you take some time to create something!! I will be back tomorrow with the last two chocolate treat holders! Until then, happy stampin'!
