Scrap 'n Stamps 'SO SWEET' Inspiration Hop

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to another Inspiration Hop put on by Scrap 'n Stamp Canada. I took the challenge literally and made treat holders and a Halloween shaped cake card. First up is the shaped card!

I have had this cake shaped card by Honey Bee designs for awhile and I thought it would be fun to turn into a Halloween themed one. I mean cake is sweet, right? And what would be sweeter than a Halloween cake shaped card? A Halloween cake shaped card with a pop up inside!

I added the Giant Happy Halloween from Lawn Fawn inside, with a few folds to create the pop up. Because the card base was black, I also added a signing block with white card stock.

Next up are the treat holders. Wanting a more 'rainbow' effect for the ghosts, I dipped and dragged white card stock through puddles of ink created with Catherine Pooler inks spritzed with water. When the panel was dry I die cut the ghosts. 

Black card stock scraps were adhered behind the open faces for impact, then I glued another ghost on the back to hide the black piece for the free standing treat topper. A narrow strip of acetate was sandwiched in between the two and that is what slips into the straw opening of the to-go plastic cup lid. All of the ghost edges were inked and they also got a blast of shimmer spray. 

I still remember the first time I made these 'sour cream' treat holders 25 years ago (or more!) and they are still a fun way to dress up a few treats. They can be whipped up quickly and are a great stashbushter for patterned papers.

Since these have been around for SO many years, I didn't do a tutorial. There are lots and lots of tutorials around, & I did a quick search on YouTube and HERE is one for you:   I didn't do the extra steps of using a crimper and fancy edges scissors on this one, but they do make them look extra nice. I figure my grandkids will just be ripping into them and those details would be los on them. 😂

Finally, I popped one of the ghosts onto an Action Wobble and then to a folded die cut oval. You can add these on top of any number of treat bags etc, but I chose an iridescent zip top baggie. I often give the grandkids little candy treats, but am mindful of their parents desire to limit sugar. So Just a few in one of these baggies with a cute topper makes us all happy! 

I added some bling, just because I've had these ones for YEARS and want to use them up.
