Another Week of Product of the Month!!!

I hope you've been enjoying the ideas for this month's Product of the Month. In you've just seen this for the first time, here's a recap.  Each month I pick a product from one of our current catalogs and feature it each Monday. You can find this month's Product, the Spooky Cat Bundle on page 52-53 in the Holiday Mini. This bundle is part of a suite that has coordinating Designer Series Paper, trim, and treat tubes. If you'd like to view the other posts for this month's Product of the Month, you can find them HERE and HERE.

So here again is the bundle, and as you can see the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes from the annual catalog would make a great treat holder for this time of year!

 Here is another item, the Test Tubes that are also great to use! This is a super simple project to make. Stampin' Up! put this together.

No cat in this treat holder but is using the stamp set and paper from the suite. To get that shape, they used the Everyday Label Punch from the Holiday Mini and used about a 1" strip of cardstock. Stamp your sentiment or whatever your're stamping then slide it into the punch and center it, it only punches the center of the punch.

Here is a visual to help. Where the arrows are, is the center area of the punch. I don't know about you, but I'm a VERY visual person. As they say, A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words! So true!

Here is another use for the Test Tubes. I did case this from another demonstrator, sorry I don't remember from who, but have seen this from several others as well. To make this, you'll need a piece of card stock that is 4" x 7 7/8". You'll score it on the long side at 3", 3 5/8", and 4 1/4". Turn and now you'll make two cut lines to join the score lines.

Put you're card stock at 1 5/8" and cut from one score line to the last score line. Move your card stock over to 2 3/8" and repeat. You'll fold the card stock in a mountain, valley, mountain fashion and pop the cut section out.

The layers are 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" and 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". I used Pumpkin Pie and a piece of the paper from the suite. The two pieces for the sentiment are Smokey Slate and Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the Smokey Slate and then punched it out with the Everyday Label punch and the "Trick or Treat" is a 1" strip. I also stamped the witches hat on a piece of Very Vanilla and fussy cut it. For the inside I used Very Vanilla (2 3/4" x 3 3/4") and stamped the hat again and "Happy Halloween" also from the stamp set.

 This is an oldie but "goodie". It's called a sour cream container. Super simple to make, especially if you're making many! You need a rectangle piece of card stock or Designer Series Paper and Tear and Tape or other strong adhesive. I used a piece of 3" x 4". You put your adhesive on 2 longs sides and one short (on the wrong side or back side of paper). First make it a tube, attaching the two short ends. Then with that seam you just created, use that as your starting point on the end and squeeze the one end together. Put your contents in and then with the seam in the center, squeeze the other end. I used a 1/8" handheld punch and a piece of black baker's twine to attach the cat that I stamped in Pumpkin Pie on a piece of Very Vanilla and punched out with the cat punch.

This last treat was made with the Mini Treat Bag Framelit. I used the Spooky Nights Designer Series Paper here also. The old is stamped onto a piece of the Spooky Nights Designer Series Paper. I also used the Layering Squares Framelits to cut out the paper and layered it with a piece of Basic Black. There is also a belly band around it in Basic Black.

I hope you liked these treats and have given you some ideas to hand out to some of your special trick or treaters! You can easily change all of these projects up for any occasion. I thought the sour cream container would make great place settings for those holiday gatherings. Change the cat out to a tag and stamp or write their names on the tag and use paper to suite the occasion!
