Okay, I’m pretty darn proud of these little test tube mummies. Aren’t they cute?!
I was working on some fun ideas for my kids’ Halloween treats and discovered that the Treat Tubes in the 2017 Holiday Catalog can stand on their own when upside-down on the cork. I wrapped each one in Jute Twine (also available in the 2017 Holiday Catalog). And after tying the ends together to secure the twine, the idea came to me that these needed to become mummies.
I stamped some images from the Spooky Cat stamp set:
- Owl eyes image with Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock
- Sentiments with Tuxedo Black ink onto Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist & Crushed Curry cardstock
I tore the bottom edges of the sentiment pieces and sponges the edges with the black ink. I used coordinating markers to color around the eyes. And then I hand cut the eyes and stuck them on with Glue Dots.
The Glue Dots held the eyes well, so I used that same adhesive on the knot of the twine. I attached the stamped sentiment piece there and then attached the ends of the twine with Glue Dots to the sides of this piece to make it look like hands holding a sign.
I then painted Wink of Stella onto the sign and the eyes to give them a little sparkle.
They were super easy to make. And really you can use any color for the signs and eyes. It will probably look best if the colors coordinate with the candy you put in the tubes.

Yesterday I shared a cute little "welcome baby" card that I made with the A Little Wild stamp set from p. 108 the Annual Catalog. I also introduced you to the unique images in that set and a similar set in the Holiday Catalog on p. 47 called Seasonal Chums.
Today I thought I'd share with you another version of that elephant card (refer back to yesterday's post for directions and measurements.) AND some cute mini treat containers using both these sets that my friend Susan Campfield designed.
This one would be great to give to that special someone (Valentine's Day, Anniversary, etc.). Plus the ribbon has X's (kisses) on it!
These are the supplies I used for this version of the card. Note that I substituted the Cherry Cobbler marker for the Rhinestone. I also used this marker for the ears (since we don't have that color in the pencils)…Just scribble a bit of ink onto a none-porous surface (like the case of the stamp set), dip the Blender pen in to get just a little bit of color, and use that the "tint" the ears and flower petals.

Here are those SUPER cute treat containers. Click here to see Susan's tutorial video for these first three on her blog posted on August 22nd. The elephant one is similar, but the front and back of the elephant isn't connected, and a ribbon was added to the tab on top.
My new website design is right around the corner. I can't wait!! Drop-down menus will be added, I'll have an updated banner at the top with a brighter green (my favorite green), and it will be easier to find things you are looking for (I hope). And my website address will stay the same, so no need to search for me. 😉
