OSAT Blog Hop & 12 Weeks of Fall & Halloween 2024 - Week #3

Welcome to the One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop! I'm so glad to have you here at Create With Christy! This month, our theme is Pumpkins, Pies, and Frights. We needed to make either Fall or Halloween projects. As you can see, I chose to make a Halloween card & coordinating treat holder.

My post today is also for my 12 Weeks of Fall & Halloween for Week #3. During my series of projects, I'm making 3D or fun fold cards for Halloween & Fall. The treat holder is the one I made for my Halloween projects for my 12 Weeks of Fall & Halloween.

My card & treat holder feature the Potions & Spells Bundle from the Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives. Not only are there great images in the bundle's stamp set, the die-set it wonderful, too. I didn't use them on my treat holder, but there are some great stand-alone dies that give you more fun things to add to the stamped die-cuts. You will see a couple of these dies used on the card below.

I had some snack-size Milk Duds, and I put them side-by-side. Then, I took some measurements and came up with this treat holder. I may have specifically made this for the Milk Duds, but there are definitely more treats that can fit inside. The inside measures 2-1/2" wide x 1-3/4" high x 1" deep.

I talked about the stand-alone dies in the Potions & Spells Bundle above, and you can see two of the dies in action. The bubbles and the drips on the top of the kettle were made with them. The four bubbles were actually die-cut using one die.

I used a new Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack on both the card and the treat holder, and it's called Halloween Spells DSP. It's from the new Holiday Scrapbooking Brochure. I used the Gorgeous Grape polka dot design on both the card and the treat holder, but on the card, I also used a couple of the stamps in the stamp set to add some more designs to it. The handle on the treat holder is the same piece of paper...I just used the other side. The bubbles and the drips were die-cut from another design in the DSP pack.

I wanted a little bling on both of my projects, and I chose to use the black gems from the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.

For the inside of my card, I put the three bubble stamps onto one acrylic block, and then stamped them across the bottom of the Basic White layer using Pumpkin Pie ink.
