Gingerbread Man Treat Jar - Day 1

The Card A Day Blog's theme this week is Christmas Food.   The first thing I thought of was Gingerbread Cookies and my card inspiration this week is on Saturday so I thought I would have a week of Gingerbread Man ideas.  For today I have a Gingerbread Man Treat Jar. 

The red cardstock is 2 1/4" with the punched border and the pattern paper is 1 5/8".  Over that I wrapped a sheer 7/8' ribbon.  I stamped my sentiment in red and then layered them onto another punched cardstock.   

I used the From my Kitchen cartridge to cut the gingerbread man out of felt and sewed on a couple of button's with light weight yarn and a couple of beads for his eyes.

Halloween Treat - Day 11

If you missed any of the other 12 Days of Halloween click here. Today I have a couple of treat cards to share with you. These treat cards are super quick to make and I have them in two sizes. The small one will hold a smarties and the larger one will hold a roll of lifesavers. 

I kept decorations simple as I wanted the bat fence to be the focal point.  My black bat is embossed with black embossing power. 

The bow is pop doted on the side of the candy holder with a bit of embroidery thread running through it.

Halloween Treat Jars - Day 6

For Day 6 of the 12 days of Halloween I am altering a Frappuccino bottle.  I need a few to drop off for the ladies at work. Since my son loves these there is always a supply for me to recycle. Be sure to wash it out really well.  I peeled off the label before running it through the dishwasher.  I wasn't worried about the glue residue as I am covering that up.  If you want to remove the glue you will have to use a product like Goof Off or Goo Gone. 

 The scrapbook paper is cut 2 1/2" inches wide.  I then wrap it around the bottle to see where I can cut the extra off at. I then punched the spider web on a 5" piece of black cardstock and glued this to the inside of the designer paper.

Using the Decorative label I punched another designer paper for the background. On top of this is the white cardstock with a sticker from the Achievers Halloween kit. I then punched a the bird out of the black and glittered cardstock. I have a pop up dot behind the bird.

I used the Martha Stewart bat punch for this set of bottles.  You can make your own mix or buy a pre-mixed one.  I have a friend who is allergic to nuts so I always make my own concoction for her.

Treat Bag

I used Tag, Bags, Boxes and More for the Bag sized at 11.007 x 5.889 in Design Studio so I could fit two of them on my 12x12 mat. Around the bag is a piece of black seam binding with the ends behind the tag. The flower is cut from Graphically Speaking in graduating sizes. There are 9 layers to the flower. I inked each flower with Autumn Terracotta and then Canary. While they were still damp I rolled the edges of the flowers up with a crochet hook. I used a big brad for the flower center, that is embossed with VersaMark ink then gold embossing powder.

The leaf branch is from the Home Accents cartridge cut on light green card stock, inked with Ponderosa Pine and Holly Stickles on top.

The tag is cut using the Accent Essentials cartridge, the edges are inked with Orange and stamped with Happy Halloween in black. I cut a square from the left over pop up dots to use behind the tag.

The cut file is set so that everything can be cut using the baby bug. Click here for the Treat Bag cut file.
