What's Up Wednesday ~ Halloween Treat Cones

Welcome to What's Up Wednesday! My project to share today is how to make treat cones from a 6" x 6" piece of DSP (designer series paper). It's quick and easy and is so fun to give a treat this way. Of course you can use any DSP you like, but it's particularly fun for Halloween!

Our New Spooktacular DSP pack is perfect for this project. In the pack you get 48 sheets 6" x 6" DSP with 4 different patterns. Let's take a look at how to make this fun project!

Start by adding a strip of Tear & Tape to the side of a sheet. Roll the sheet to adhere and make a tube. I used my Bone Folder to smooth the seam down. 

HINT: An easy way to remove the protective backing on Tear & Tape or Dimensionals is to use the pointy end of the Take Your Pick Tool. 

Once you have your tube you need to decide which way you want the top and bottom to fold together. I decided the bottom would go together "sideways" or facing the side.

Place Tear Tape on the inside of the tube and pinch together. Using the Bone Folder I rubbed over the end to make sure it was sealed well. Don't want any of the treats falling out!

This is what the bottom should now look like. 

For the top you're going to pinch the sides together going the opposite way of the bottom. For my cone I'm pinching it flat to the front. Place a strip of the Tear Tape on the inside but 

DO NOT remove the protective paper until AFTER you put in your treats! Once the treats have been added tape it closed and you have a super fun Treat Cone! 

I hope you give this a try......for any occasion! You can use it for gift cards or small gifts, too!

Have fun!

Terrific Treats ~ January Technique Blog Hop

Sometimes you'd like to gift someone just a little
something sweet to brighten their day, say thank you or just because. This hop is going to give you lots of idea for  gifting treats!

The blog before mine belongs to Alyson Mayo. Click the links in each blog to continue along on the hop.

So sit back, put your feet up, sip your coffee or tea and have fun!

My project is sized to hold several mints, candy kisses or any other small item. I used our Cricut Artiste cartridge. You can access ANY Close To My Heart Cricut cartridge through the link it the right column of my blog. I'm talking about ANY retired or current cartridge! My link will take you directly to a list of the Close To My Heart cartridges and from there you can also access any Cricut product as well! 

I sized this box so it would be about 2" x 2".  I cut the box using a sheet of paper from the Spruced UP paper pack. Aren't those colors and patterns great!!!! The nice part about our papers is that some have a theme specific pattern and others have a generic pattern you can use any time!

Once the boxes were cut out it was easy to assemble and decorate. I used our Thin Cut Dies to fancy up the box. the Stitched Hearts and Stitched Circles had perfect sized for the treat box. I popped up the tiny heart, added some shimmer with the Clear Shimmer Brush and a few Julep Loose Sequins. Cardstock colors are Sangria, Julep and French Vanilla. I tied a piece of Sangria Ribbon to one and Julep Velvet Ribbon to the other. Now they are both ready for some treats!

You can shop anytime in my online shop.

If you need a consultant I'd be happy too help.

If you'd like to BE a consultant I'd love to have you on my team!

I hope you enjoyed my cute little treat boxes. Now it's time to hop over to see what Darlys Recker has created to share with us. Have fun!
