Trio of Halloween Treats

Hi, everyone!  I am back with a trio of simple treats for Halloween!

First up, I have a tin filled with some frightfully fun grub!  :)  The label was made using the Ghoulish Label Set from MFT!  I stamped in black and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The sentiment was constructed using words that come in the set.  I added the label to a larger piece of card stock/patterned paper and used the whole thing to construct a band that slides on the tin.  The tin was covered at the bottom with a thin strip of patterned paper and some red line adhesive.

Want a peek inside the tin at the frightfully fun grub?  Are you sure???

Want an even CLOSER look?  :)

 

That is a gummy RAT that I found at Hastings.  It smells HORRIBLE!  LOL  I am fairly sure it is black licorice flavor.  YUCK!  LOL  I am sure SOMEONE likes black licorice, but I am SO not on that list!  LOL  Even looking at it up close, it looks *kinda* realistic.  I am pretty sure this would be a good prank in the making.  LOL

Up next I have a mini candy jar filled with skulls and bones.  Sounds delightful, right?  :)  The candy was purchased at Walmart.  Look for it in a beaker looking type of container in the Halloween candy aisle for $3. 

I have gotten TONS of questions about where to get these mini candy jars.  I bought mine at Michael's craft store in the wedding section well over a year ago.  I have looked since and they are no longer sold there.  If you google "mini candy jars", you will find on-line sources for them, but I couldn't find them for less than $.75-$1.00 each.   I stamped one of the tombstones from the Ghoulish Label Set on white card stock and colored it with Copic markers, then punched it out and adhered it to the lid using a sticky dot.  I added a simple bow around the lid.  These are SO tiny, that you can't do much to them.  That is a PLUS for mass producing!  :)

This treat was made using an old Prima bottle.  It came from a "flower of the month" set.  The lid was brown, but it was throwing off the color combo, so I colored it with my black Copic marker... which made it extremely sticky (WEIRD), so I dipped it in clear embossing powder... which made it lumpy, so I dipped it in clear embossing powder again... and again... and again... until I had a *mostly* even coat.  UGH!  WHY oh WHY did I "need" it black.  LOL  While it doesn't look perfect, I think it lends itself to a bubbly cauldron look.  I mean, if something is labeled R.I.P., I think it can be a little marred don't you think?  LOL

I covered the bottle with patterned paper and added a skull and cross bones from The Poppies stamp set.  A tiny R.I.P. tag was stamped and added from the Ghoulish Label Set.  I used some AMuse twinkle stickers for he RIP tag and bottom of the jar just to add some girly flair to my creation.  A pink bow tied at the top finished it off.  I filled it with the remainder of my skull and bones candy from Walmart.

Are you preparing for Halloween yet?  What treats will you be making?  Any big plans?  I'd love to hear them. :)

Have a GREAT day and see you back tomorrow for another Halloweeny *sweet* treat!  :)
