quick halloween treats



Earlier this month, Waltzingmouse Stamps released a couple new Halloween stamp sets.  Claire always comes up with some of the cutest sentiments for Halloween sets and the new sets also feature some adorable vintage inspired girls.  The style of the drawings is just perfect.

Each of the new sets, Cicely at Halloween and Gracie at Halloween, has a great circle image that is perfect for tags and sentiments.  My first thought when I saw the sets was to create these quick and easy little tags that are perfect for little Halloween treats.  (Do you know how hard it is to find candy corn this time of year?!  I thought it was something you could buy any time of the year, but I had to search for a long time to find some.)


Are these images so cute?!  I simply stamped them on white cardstock and colored them with copic markers.  Then, I punched them out with a 1.75" circle punch and added a scalloped black circle (2").  I used my cropadile to punch a small hole to thread the baker's twine through and tied them to some test tubes and attached one to a small round tin.

Have a great week!

Such a cute idea. I think candy corn is like Cadbury Eggs, they are only out during the holiday season. So sweet of you to hunt for them to give us a better idea of your sweet treats.

These are awesome Niki! And just an FYI - you can find most kind of candies regardless of the time of year at www.nutsonline.com - I use them a lot, they ship to deployed folks overseas too (that is how I learned about them). Just a heads up for future yummy projects!

This is a great idea, love how it looks and those images are so nice. I am waiting impatiently for mine.
Just a couple of days ago, I was looking for Halloween candy here in Germany and online. There is almost nothing.
