Apple Cider Treat's

Happy Tuesday!

I have another fun Halloween treat/gift holder for you today.
 I found these Apple Cider singles at the $1 store and I thought they would make a quick and inexpensive gift. So I dressed them up a bit.
Cute no?

I guess you could say this is a spin on the "slider" that everyone makes with these single packets. I made a video tutorial showing how I made them, it's below.
 Paper: K and Company
Crinckle Seam Binding: Liz's Paper Loft Boutique
Dies: My Creative Time: Scallop and Stitched Circle Die
Stamps: My Creative Time: Treats for My Sweet

Here is a quick tutorial showing how to make them.
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Friday! 

Welcome to day two of the My Creative Time's Halloween blog hop! If you have arrived from Rosy's blog, then you are on the right track, if you would like to start at the beginning, click here.

 I made a witches hat, hat box.
I have seen a lot of different hat box ideas and I thought it might be fun to try and make one. The box is 4" in diameter and 3" tall,  I found it at Michael's in wood/paper mache isle. I covered it with paper, sanded, and then inked the edges with black ink. I cut the hat out with a svg file and then added the streamer material and fibers. The hat was cut out at 11.3" x 9.8".
The rosette measures 2 1/2" in diameter. The scalloped circle is a MCT die and the sentiment is from MCT as well.

Peppermint Candy Treats

I found this cute (and free) fry box svg on a blog called, Cutting Crazy. It was really easy to put together and the peppermints fix inside it perfectly. I sized it at 5.4" x 8.2". It holds 6 peppermints perfectly.
Aren't these so cute! They were made with My Creative Time's Scallop & Stitched Circle Die and her All Around Halloween stamp set. All of the rest of the supplies are listed below and there is also a tutorial showing how to make them.

Halloween Crackers

Happy Wednesday!

Today is 3-d Wednesday on the My Creative Time blog. I just love 3-d day don't you?  We were asked to "alter" something and I have all these toilet paper rolls laying around. So, I thought it would be fun to make some Halloween Crackers. 

So... I whipped up these babies.
I love making these for holiday's and as party favors for special occasions. They don't "explode" like the real thing, but they are still just as much fun to open. You can fill them with anything, (well, anything that fits inside the roll) the possibles are endless.
 
 
So fun, right!?!
Papers: 
Tissue Paper: Party City
Dies & Stamps: My Creative Time: Fancy Frame Stamp & Die, Curly Label Die, Treats for My Sweet
Black and White Twine: Timeless Twine
Black, White and Orange Twine: Cakes and Kids Too
Edge punches: Fiskars, Scallop and In Stitches

Here's a tutorial showing how to make them.
