Halloween Treat Tubes

Halloween is all about the treats right?  So why not make some treats with style?

I cut these treat tubes out using my Cricut and a CCR file (cricut craft room).  It makes it super easy!  I also used the Artbooking cartridge- I used the Halloween mini book cuts, made them small, and cut off the binding part.  Then I colored them with some markers (including the silver metallics one).  Way fun!  If you want the CCR file just leave a comment and I will email it to you (since I can't figure out how to have it on this site)

This will be a workshop Saturday Oct. 26th and it is my first ever Kid workshop too!  Kids are welcome to come make these as long as an adult is present- the pumpkin one is easier for little kids to do.  The cost is $3 per tube (including candy) or $10 for 4 tubes.

Supplies Used:
Artbooking Cartridge
Artiste cartridge
treat tubes
black shimmer trim
bakers twine
hemp
clothes pins

This kit is a lot of fun- and you don't have to be in 3rd grade to enjoy it!  It comes with a lot of fun stuff and a sneak peak of what's in the new catalog!

Contest

Well, here I am in St. Louis at a regional convention for Close To My Heart!  What fun!  They had a contest so I decided to enter it.  The rules were it needed to be 3D and use chalkboard marker and/ or chalkboard paper.  This is what I made:

They are nesting Jack O'Lantern treat boxes!  The new Cricut Artiste cartridge is sooo much fun!!!With these boxes the lid slides up revealing a hole.  I decided to do polka dots because I am really into dots :)  And with the chalkboard paper it is much easier to draw with the chalkboard marker because if you use regular paper it soaks up the ink and you have to go over it a few times. 

I used the back of an "o" for the polka dots and used the cricut to cut out the boxes, leaves, and faces.  For the boxes I cut them out at 3.5", 2.75", and 2".  To shape the hemp I used some liquid glass and wound it around a pencil.  For the glitter I used the silver glitter glue and then colored it with the new autumn terracota marker.  The leaves I colored with the new olive marker.  The stems I freehand cut and shaped out of the kraft paper.

Wish me luck!! The prize is $50 in product credit so I really want it!
