Sweet Treats Halloween Shaker

I love these sweet treat cups! They make cards and treats so much fun! Last year I did a whole class with the Sweet Centers set and this year I had to pull it out again for Halloween! This is a little 3"x 3" Shaker... but the cool thing about it is that you can get the candy out without wrecking it. I made a slider on the back side... You pull on the ribbon tab and the candy comes out:

Here's a close-up of the back:

More Sweet Centers...

As promised, here are the other projects we made at the Sweet Centers Class. The first one is a little 3" x 3" card using the heart stamp. I stamped it twice and then punched out the center twice to make a cute little spinner card. The pink ink and card stock is Melon Mambo.

The next project was a cute little shaker on a stick. Wouldn't this be cute to give a little girl? I used the flower from the Sweet Centers Set using Crushed Curry Ink and filled it with some Nerds. It's attached to a piece of Soft Suede for the back and the I love you is from the center of the heart used in the previous sample. Then attach it to a lollipop stick with glue dots!


The next project is a little treat bag made using a mini lunch sack and the top note die in the big shot. I just attached a top note die cut to the front and back of the lunch sack after I cut the sack down a little shorter. Then for the front, I used a scalloped shape as a mask to make clouds in the sky for the hot air balloon. The center of the balloon is a sentiment from the stamp set Think Happy Thoughts.


Last, but not least is the Christmas card using Sweet Centers and a treat cup. I filled the cup with some snow sparkles and attached it onto a small piece of patterned paper from the Merry Moments Designer paper pack. This card also uses the new Big Shot embossing folder Petals-a-Plenty from the Holiday Mini (on the old olive part). I love how this one turned out! It looks like it's hanging from the ribbon.

Sweet Treat!

Can you tell I'm starting to get in the spirit of Halloween? October is only a week away, you know... Here's another spooky sample using the Sweet Centers Set. I received this one as a gift from my upline at a recent event. Isn't it cute? It's a little 4" x 4" car using the sweet treat cup with yummy M&Ms. I love the striped ribbon on this one too. I had to order some for myself so you'll be seeing it on a lot of upcoming Halloween projects!

Flower for a Rainy Day...

It's raining buckets here! Or cats and dogs....however you put it it's definitely wet! So here's a flower to brighten your day. One of my last bright summery card before I switch into Fall mode and start showing you all my Fall and Halloween stuff!

This card uses the a treat cup filled with Skittles (...mmmm) and surrounded by petals from the Sweet Centers Stamp set. It does take a little time to cut out all the petals but the end result is so cute! I love how you could create different flowers by filling the centers with different colored candies!! I also used the a Big Shot Texturz Plate on the green strip of card stock on this. If you look closely, you can see the flowers. The "for you" sentiment is from the Great Friend set (the one with all the butterflies).

Hope your day is suny!

stamps:Sweet Centers, Great Friend
ink:Crushed Curry, Green Galore
paper: Crushed Curry, Green Galore, pumpkin pie
other: Treat Cup, Big Shot Texturz plate

Sweet Centers for Halloween

Hello & Happy Monday!
I spent all afternoon yesterday working on Halloween projects and planning Halloween classes....I just LOVE Halloween. I think it might be my favorite Holiday. It's so fun to make silly and spooky treats!

Today I'm sharing with you a really cool project using the new Sweet Centers set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Those of you who are attending my Sweet Centers Class tomorrow night will get to make this along with some other fun treats (I'll post those after the class is done for the rest of you to see).

The cup in the middle is a treat cup that is available in the Mini Catalog. You get 12 for only $2.95 so they're really cute and inexpensive. They have adhesive on the back so you can just peel and stick them onto your card (after filling them with your favorite candy, of course).

The only problem with this treat cup is that you might end up destroying the card to get out the candy!! Horrible, right? So I designed this card with a little pull tab (made with the gorgeous thick striped grosgrain ribbon. You pull on the tab and the candy pours out! Cool, huh?

stamps: sweet centers
ink: basic black
paper: whisper white, old olive, pumpkin pie, basic black, Cast-A-Spell Deisgner Series Paper
other: Wide striped Grosgrain ribbon, treat cup, black grosgrain ribbon, candy
