Another Sweet Treat for Halloween
It's another sweet treat for Halloween. This time I am using a Hershey Candy bar. This treat is made using plain Hershey bars, but I really do like the Hershey bars with almonds. What is your favorite Halloween treat?
I created this treat using the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper. I cut each piece into a 6" x 6" square, so you can get four treats from each 12" x 12" piece of designer paper. Attach a strip of Tear & Tape adhesive to one of the outer edges, along the whole 6" side, being sure to keep the tape as close to the edge as possible. Remove the backing. Place a candy bar in the center of the square and carefully wrap the candy bar in the designer paper, keeping the side with the adhesive as the top piece. Secure once you are happy with the 2 pieces being lined up.
I struggle with how to tell you this next step because there is just no good way to say it, except for this one way. I was recently talking to my friend Leanne and she said "I'm punching cats". I laughed out loud at the image, even though I know she loves cats, and would never punch them. So, here goes... Punch the cat (no literal cat punching here please LOL) using the cat punch. For these treats I used a piece of black glimmer paper (retired), but you could also use basic black cardstock. The piece behind the cat was punched using the starburst punch and pumpkin pie cardstock. I used the stamp images from the Spooky Cat Stamp Set to stamp the rat and the "trick or treat" sentiment.The sentiment was attached using dimensionals. Attach the cat to the starburst piece. I tied bakers twine and orange ribbon around the candy bars for an added touch, then attached the cat piece using dimensionals.
Your treat is now ready to give to a friend, neighbor or a special trick or treater.

A Little Fun with Stampin' Up! Basic jewels
Tip of the Week....altering the color of rhinestone jewels
I really like it when I can alter a product and use it in a way that is different than it was intended. Did you know that you can change the color of the basic rhinestones to match your projects using a Sharpie marker?
Choose a sharpie marker that will match the project you are creating. In this case, I am using a green sharpie to create cat eyes for my Halloween project.
The marker must be permanent or the color will not dry onto the rhinestones, and it will wipe off easily. Color the rhinestones while they are still attached to the original packaging. See how the color covers the rhinestone, but it still sparkles?
The rhinestones would look great on this project in clear, but don't they look GREAT in green?
I hope that this tip will be useful to you when you are creating your upcoming projects. If you need products for any of your projects, I would love to be your demonstrator. Please visit my store today BY CLICKING RIGHT HERE. Please use hostess code 7WJRC6DJ at checkout.
