"Nugget Treat Bags"

Here are some more treats for the upcoming craft fair.

I wrapped Hershey's nuggets in halloween-themed patterned paper and put them in zippie bags. I used black cardstock for my toppers (except one), then layered each with a punched 3 inch scallop circle. I also added stamped images from SU's Batty for You set.

I really like doing the wrapped nuggets, because you can decorate them for any occasion!

"Chocolate Pouches"

These are halloween-theme chocolate pouches that I made as part of the order for an upcoming craft fair. I always enjoy doing these pouches, because they are easy and cute!

I used black cardstock for each, and the images used on the fronts are 'Bat Scratch Rub-Ons' by Imaginisce. I also matted with coordinating cardstocks and used miscellaneous ribbons.

"Kit Kat Holders"

These are kit kat holders I've done as part of an order for a craft fair booth coming up the 1st weekend of October. I totally CASED this idea from Angie at Chic 'n Scratch. She has a great tutorial for them on her site. Her inspiration is fabulous!

I used black cardstock for the base on each, plus a variety of patterned papers. The stamped images are from SU's Batty for You set, with coordinating punched scalloped and smaller circles. **I must thank my very dear gal pal, Rochelle, for so graciously stamping the images and punching the coordinating circles! Rochelle, you ROCK!!

These holders can also hold any of the other snack size candy bars. They make great class treats and party favors, as well!! I have posted a smaller picture below to show an inside view:

"A Good Teacher. . ."

This is another order finished for Anndrea. She is a teacher, and she has been mentoring new teachers, so she wanted to be able to give them a little something at a breakfast on Friday in their honor.

So, what else? Yes, chocolate pouches!! I'm telling you, these are the perfect 'something' to give out! I get more orders for these, than anything!

Anyway, she wanted it to look 'teachery', of course, so I let her choose the school themed ribbon and went with solid red cardstock for the pouches. I found a great quote -- "A good teacher is like a candle -- it consumes itself to light the way for others." I printed the quote on white and matted with black, to coordinate with the ribbon, before adhering onto the pouch.

I think they turned out great! The red, white and black really pop! Anndrea picked them up this evening and she really liked them!! p.s. Her daughter, Madison, liked them also. . .so now I'm making two more for her to give to her teachers! LOL

"Candy Jar Treat"

I got the inspiration for this treat from gal pal, Rochelle's, April 24th post of Spice Jar Gifts, click HERE to check out. Since I do not have SU's Tart & Tangy stamp set yet, I decided to use my strawberry stamp set from Papertrey, that I just love!

I used a plastic container, that I buy in bulk of 6 from Oriental Trade and are similar to Rochelle's spice jars, and filled with strawberry candies. I then used a Marvy circle scallop punch for the red cardstock and adhered it to the lid. I stamped the strawberry image onto white cardstock before punching out with a circle Whale of a Punch, and adhered it on top of the red, as well. Lastly, I tied sheer red dotted Offray ribbon around the neck.

I went and visited an dear friend of mine yesterday, that I had not seen in awhile, and took her this treat. I added a little note that said, "Love You Berry Much". It was so good to see her, and she was tickled to get a surprise treat, too!

"Berry Baskets"

I got these cute little strawberry baskets from my stepmom and decorated them up! My friend, Linda, helped me on this project, by weaving the red checked ribbon through the holes and tying up my stamped square in the front. After adding left-over Easter grass, we placed the strawberry wrapped candies in cello down in the basket.

I think it turned out too cute! I was able to sell several at my booth at Mission Crop.

"More Easter Treats"

I got the inspiration for these great Hershey stick holders from my gal pal, Rochelle. She has complete instructions for them on her blog. She always has the neatest stuff posted!!

I made these for my niece and nephew, Lauren and Craig, for Easter. Since they've gotten abit too old for me to fix them Easter baskets, I thought these would be something neat to give them.

Thanks for the inspiration and directions, Rochelle! You rock!

"Easter Class Treats"

These are class treats for Alyssa to take to school Thursday for Easter. They came together pretty quick. Each holder has a roll of Smarties candy inside. The template for these is the same as the one I use when I make my lipgloss and chapstick holders.

To make these, cut the cardstock at 3 1/2 x 6 1/2, then scored at 3 and 3 1/2. Then, fold over at the 3 1/2 score and cut 2 slits (about an inch apart) inward to the other score line. When you open the holder, you will need to 'pop up' the slot to slide your candy through. If you wish to tie it together, I use the SU slot punch.

I posted a picture of the inside below:

"Easter Treats"

Hope you are not tired of seeing my chocolate bar pouches, because I love making these as treats!

I've made these for the ladies in the office, along with the Principal and Vice-Principal, at Alyssa's school for Easter. I tried to use a variety of pastel papers, but I threw a brown in, because the Vice-Principal is a guy.

I love the scripture stamp by Stampabilities that I got to use on the front. It reads "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the ALMIGHTY" Psalm 91:1 (If you click on the picture, you will be able to read the stamp clearly)

"Chocolate Moose"

Hi, everyone! Meet Riley, the Moose! Isn't he too cute?!? I CASEd this idea from Lisa at Shabbychick Junk. The acetate container came from Creative Cuts and More, and is filled with Junior Mints, hence the title...chocolate moose...heehee.

I'm going to make these "Chocolate Moose" holders up for my booth in April. I think they would make a cute little gift, especially for a guy!

The Riley stamp is new from Hanna Stamps. He was released at the 1st of February, and I just had to have him, mainly so I could do this project. I colored him with Prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol and a stump.

"Decorated Peppermint Patties"

These are some of the peppermint patties that I've started decorating for my booth. The possibilities with these are endless! I haven't decided on how I'm going to present them to sell, but when I get closer to the time and get more completed, I'll post them again!

"Purple Pouches"

Here are some of the chocolate pouches I've started on for my April booth. These are the pouches that you fill with a Hershey's candy bar.

They always turn out so cute, so I'm making up abunch of different color pouches for my booth. I'm going to wait, of course, until April, to fill them with the candy bars.

Here, I started with my purples, but I'm going to do some in blues, reds, green, etc. I'll post all the pouches together when done. I think they make the perfect treat to give to anyone and for any occassion!

"Another Candy Container"

I just love finding new, fun things to put candy treats in! This acetate container is from Creative Cuts and More. Isn't it cute!! This style container would work great for so many things...party favors; Easter baskets; stocking stuffers...I could go on and on! LOL I just think they are perfect, because you can fill them with any kind of treat you would like! I've filled this one with Spree candy and Alyssa has already 'claimed' it!

"Hershey's Pull Up Holder"

My dear friend, Rochelle, has made pull up holders with M&Ms packs forever, and I've always loved them, but never done any....(who knows why I have not)....but today was the day!!!Also, on SplitCoast right now, the pull out treats were one of Beate's tutorials, so there you have it!

I will be truthful and say that I went by Beate's directions (forgive me, Rochelle). For the tutorial for this by Beate Johns of SCS, you can click HERE.

I used solid brown Bazzill for my base; misc. paisley patterned paper from Hobby Lobby; and, My Mind's Eye sheer ribbon.

"My Alligator Treat Box"

I totally got all inspiration for this adorable treat box from Melanie Muenchinger's blog. She made one using the giraffe from Gina K's "Just So Hippy" stamp set. However, since I don't have that set yet, I pulled out one of Alyssa's trusty 'ole coloring books (yes, I said coloring book), and found my new friend, Mr. Alligator. Let me introduce you....he was cute enough and, hey, he's holding a heart. LOL

Anyway, to make this treat box, I used the clear boxes from Papertrey. For the insert, I cut my cardstock 5 7/8" x 12". You will score the cardstock at 2 3/4", 3 3/4", 8", and 9". You will also need to decide what type of shape you want to cut out for the treats to show through. (I chose a circle, because I did not have anything large enough to cut a oval.) When choosing your image for the cut-out, make sure it is a little taller, so it will not fall through.

Now back to my new friend, Mr. Alligator. I colored him with Prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol and a stump. Then cut him out and placed him on top of the red-polked Offray ribbon with a glue dot. After decorating my background cardstock with misc. stamped images, I wrapped the ribbon around and attached it in the back with more glue dots. Now, all you have to do is insert the decorated cardstock into the box; stand it up and fill with treats!!

Thanks again to Melanie for all the directions and inspiration for this!

"Chocolate Pouches"

The inspiration for this adorable 'pouch' came from Emma on SCS. I saw her post and loved it!! After emailing her, she was generous enough to help me out with the dimensions.

I used solid Bazzill for my pouch and mat, adhering it together with 1/8" Wacky Tape. The images and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink. The sheer ribbon is Offray.

Since the sentiment says "Nuttin' Better than a true friend", it would make a great treat for males or females. These could also work great as party favors (just with a different sentiments on the front). The possibilities are endless!!

"Cupid Poop!"

I totally CASEd this from Marisa (Risa) Alvarez on SCS and her blog Memory* Preserves. She was a sweetheart in helping me with all the info on these! Thanks, Risa!

I filled these plastic containers with red hot candies and then tied them with with misc. sheer ribbons. I attached the scallop circle 'cards' also with ribbons and adhered the typed poem to the back of the circle. Below is the cute poem:

Cupid Poop!

I couldn't send you flowers

and candy wouldn't do

and mushy cards just didn't

say the things I want them to.

So, I got you something special

and here's the inside scoop

I found you something very rare

it's genuine Cupid poop!

**Alot of people have asked where I got the containers for this project. I just wanted to let everyone know that these are 'clamshell' containers you receive as a gift with purchase from The Angel Company****

"Class Treats"

Ok, first off, I did not make these adorable favor boxes. But, let me explain....

While in Wal-Mart the other night buying all this Valentine's candy that I'm going to 'do' something with, Alyssa found these favor boxes that she liked. She asked why could we not just use these to put candy in for her class treats, instead of me having to 'make' something. I was thrilled! (I always knew she was a brilliant child!!) LOL

So, guess what? Class treats for Valentine's Day...done! I've even posted a picture below...I'm so excited!

Don't get me wrong, I love making things for Alyssa to carry to school. Ask anyone that knows me....I've always made class treats. But, we are in the 5th grade, and let me say, I'm pushing it here. First, she's not always as 'excited' about my creations -- it's not as 'cool' anymore, and also, I've about run the gammit on stuff to make for class treats. So, I will say, I've probably got until the end of this year for class treats, but I'm sure 6th grade will be off limits! LOL

"Pansy Jar"

I decorated this plastic container and gift bag for Flossie, my hairdresser. She stays super busy, but is so good to always work me and Alyssa in for an appointment, even on short notice. So, since we've both got an appointment this afternoon, I wanted to take her a little something.

She loves Jelly Bellies, like me, so I filled this plastic container by Making Memories with them. My pansy stamp is by Autumn Leaves; brown cardstock is Bazzill; scalloped circle punches by Marvy; ribbon by Offray; and ink is SU's chocolate chip. I colored the pansy in with a pale blue. The frosted bag is by Papertrey.

I hope she likes it!!

"That's A Wrap"

I love these! They are so easy to make up and are cute, too! I made these up for Valentine's --using pinks and browns. I'm going to make up several, so I'll have them handy to give out. They are the perfect little treat for someone!
