Ghirardelli® Chocolate Square™ Treat Wrap

Today I have a quick and easy treat holder you can make for Halloween. The cello bag inside perfectly holds a Ghirardelli® Chocolate Square™, and the way the holder is put together, the recipient doesn't have to tear anything to get the treat out! I really like these colors together for Halloween...they are Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, and Peach Parfait.

The dimensions of the folder are 7-1/4" x 3-1/2", scored 3-1/2" from each short end. (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Simply Scored Scoring Tool for this!) These score marks will leave 1/4" in the center, to accommodate the bulk of the candy.

Now, the two features of this holder that allow it to be opened without ripping anything, are the ribbon and the cello bag. The ribbon is tied in a square knot, and can be slid down to the bottom of the folder to take it off. The cello bag is folded in half, with the opening facing the bottom of the folder, and some Sticky Strip on the back of it, just below the fold line. This means the candy is held in place securely in the bag, and you just flip up the bag and the candy slides down and out of the bag! Check out the picture below to see more detail. [As always, you can click on any picture to see it full size.]

Again, you can certainly bling the heck out of these, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time on them, or money on them, because the chocolates can be pricey by themselves. And because of that expense, and the higher quality candy, I would definitely reserve these treats for the appreciative adult palate! Maybe think about having a handful prepared for the parents of the young trick-or-treaters who come to your door :-)

Stampin' Supplies: Delightful Dozen stamp set, Halloween Hang-ups jumbo wheel, Wisteria Wonder card stock, Peach Parfait card stock, Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon (15"), Basic Black ink pad, Versamark ink pad (to ink wheel), Stampin' Dimensionals, Small Cello Bags (3x5), Sticky Strip, Simply Scored Board.

Tic Tac® Howl-o-ween Creeps

Just a quick post to share a little Halloween treat project. These are Tic Tac containers in little boxes, decorated with the Howl-o-ween Creeps stamp set. I limited myself just to the images in the stamp set. The top has to open up so the recipient can open the Tic Tac container, so the Frankenstein and Witch images are adhered to the flap, then they secure the box closed with a little Velcro dot underneath. The ribbon, greeting, and the peekaboo hole in the back are all just little extras...you could easily leave those off to create these in bulk, but they wouldn't be as cute!

The pictures are all the same two treat boxes, just different views of the back and front of each. I used the orange flavor and the spearmint flavor Tic Tacs inside, because they are probably the easiest to find. There are some wintergreen ones that are a little lighter green, which would also work great. Please see the link below for the pattern, and see this related post for more tips and suggestions. For example, I removed the date stamp from the Tic Tac container with StazOn Cleaner so the markings would not show through the peekaboo hole.
