Halloween Treat Holders and Place Cards
These Treat holders and place cards are perfect for giving a small treat to your co-workers or as place cards for an October dinner party. The basic idea is the same, with just the measurements differing.
Materials needed:
• Cardstock in orange, Green, and Purple
• Tape runner
• PearlEx in Pumpkin Orange, Iridescent Gold, and Pearl White
• Halloween stamps
• Alphabet Stamps
• VersaMark Frost Watermark Ink Pad
• Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink Pad
• Ranger Mini Mister
• Perfect Gold Perfect Pearls
• Boning Tool
• Small Paintbrush
• Heat tool
• Hershey’s Miniatures(don’t eat them all!)
The treat holder is small and very cute. Perfect for setting a small treat on your co-workers desks. Take your Orange cardstock and cut it to 2” x 4½”. Using your boning tool score across from the top at 1.75”, 2”, and 3”. On the 2” x 1.75” panel stamp your image with Frost VersaMark. Using a small paintbrush, brush Pearl White over the stamped image. The Versamark will make it permanent. Take your Brushed Corduroy Ink Pad and brush the edges of the front panel of your cardstock over it.
Next take your Perfect Pearls and, using the end of your paintbrush to scoop out some perfect pearls, put it into your mini mister. You will only need the small amount you get on the end of the brush. Then fill with water and shake well. Spritz your front panel and then dry with your heat tool. Do not worry if your cardstock curls, it will flatten when dry.
Adhere your candy bar to the bottom panel o
n the inside and run the tape across the last inside panel. Secure this to the back of your front panel.
Halloween Place Card
Cut your purple cardstock to 3” x 6”. Using your boning tool score across from the top at 3¼”, 4⅜”, and 5¼”. Cut your Green cardstock to 2¾” x 3”.
Ink up your image stamp with Versamark Frost and stamp it on the green cardstock. Using the Pumpkin Orange PearlEx, brush it on over the VersaMark.
Next take your alphabet stamps and spell out the name you want on the place card and stamp with Versamark over the main image. Using Interference Gold PearlEx, brush over the lettering. Carefully brush off all excess PearlEx.
Take your Green cardstock and run the edges over the VersaMark. Then coat this with your Pearl White PearlEx, again brushing off any excess. Distress the edges of the Green cardstock and adhere to the center of the main panel on your purple cardstock.
On the back of the purple cardstock, adhere the candy to the second panel. Run adhesive over the last panel, fold along score marks, and attach last panel to back of front panel so that it sits level, with the front at a slight backwards angle.
