Hello Fellow Stampers ~~
Well, this week got off and running with a little snow, a little freezing cold, and a little behind too!! Eeeeeek . . . goes perfectly with the time of year I think!! LOL So back to catch up mode; although I am making some headway on some of the projects around the house for sure!
I'm so excited to be jumping into the Halloween fun with both feet. The Studio is quite a raucous mess right now - so much more to have fun my pretties!!
Today I have a cute little party favor to use at your Halloween party table in a couple of weeks - all done up with a decorated bamboo skewer that you can either just leave with all the pretty Halloween theme; or add names if you want to use these as a "place card" for your party table! Let's have just a wee bit of spooky fun today!!
I call these my Halloween Party Favor Treat Sticks - cute as a button with our new Halloween sets; and so easy to put together with a couple of punches, and some fussy cutting here and there!
This cutie uses the Cauldron Framelits Die to cut an adorable witches hat from the coordinated Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper.
Keeping it easy I'm punching a Starburst circle (with our Starburst Punch), and a 2" circle from Basic Black paper for each of these toppers. SNAIL'd together and then Multi-Purpose glued to the stick, then covered from the back side with another 2" Basic Black circle to make it look nice and seamless.
I colored some Basic Rhinestones with my Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blend for these delightful embellishments!
Then -- here's something fun that you may have missed - each of these Treat Stick toppers features a sentiment from the Spooky Sweets stamp set punched out with one of our brand new "label" punches. Have you missed these??
One is the Darling Label Punch; the other is the brand new Christmas Traditions Punch !! I adore these and they both come in a gorgeous tin with a special coordinated photopolymer stamp set, a clear block, and 2 ink spots. If you've missed these, run and take a look quick!! They'd make perfect gifts this season!

Don't miss these - what a wonderful opportunity, not only for yourself, but as a gift for a crafty friend, or one who is just starting out!!!
This adorable little witch is fussy cut from the Toil & Trouble DSP (isn't she just cute?! LOL)
Some wonderfully "purple" Glitter Enamel Dots finish this simple and easy treat stick.
Last, but not least! Did you forget all about our adorable Cat Punch that was released last year?
Yikes!
My spooky pal is punched from Granny Apple Green cardstock, and embellished with some Blackberry Bliss and Basic Black Faceted Dots - this feline is "a-stylin'" this Halloween!! LOL
I originally had thought I'd create my toppers on bamboo skewer sticks; but decided after I got started that they were a little too long for my project. So I settled on these mini popsicle sticks (you can find these at your local hobby store). They were the perfect size for my Halloween Party Favor cans (which I found at Hobby Lobby by the way). What's inside?? No tricks here . . . a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate Dove Halloween Candies -- yum!!
Hope you have enjoyed our Mix-It Up Monday project!! More Halloween fun to come!!
Until Next Time . . . Puppy Hugs!
