Sweet Treat Cups Ideas

Day 3 of the RemARKable Stampers Holiday Blog Tour!

These have got to be one of the slickest things since sliced bread!

These Treat Cups can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 7.  You get 12 and they are only $2.95.  They have adhesive liners around the edge so you can stick them to paper after you fill them and display your treats! You will need the 1-3/4" circle punch to punch perfect windows to put the treat cups through.  How FUN!

Here's what I came up using them.... and there's more than just cards!

Here is a Halloween idea.

I filled the belly of the spider with orange M&M's... (the boys thought I was crazy for picking out just the orange ones, and thought I wasn't going to need the rest... of course they wanted them!)

The spider's legs were EASY to make using the rounded tab punch... here's what I did....

First, punch out one tab, then line up the cardstock again so that just a strip of the cardstock shows inside the punch like below.

Continue doing this until you have 4 little black pieces (that look like bats... you could use them for that too!)

Then, just cut the pieces in half to make 2 legs.  VIOLA!

Next I made a decoration for this cute basket/box I made with the Square Scallop die for the Big Shot.  (I made one like this that held cards for a class that you can see HERE.)

I used the Sweet Centers set from the Holiday Mini Catalog that was made to go with the sweet treats cups.  I stamped several petals from the set and cut them out, then adhered them to the edge of the treat cup.  The leaves are from the set too.

This is really a gift within a gift, don't you think???  Oh, and I had to hurry and pick out the yellow M&M's before they were gone... those boys!

Now for my FAVORITE IDEA!  Yes, this one is an OLIVER ORIGINAL as well!

Who wouldn't LOVE to get this little gem for a gift!  Especially when it's filled with Stampin' Up! goodies!

I took a 8-1/4 x 6 piece of our NEW Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper from the Hoiday Mini Catalog... folded it in half at 3".

Then I used my 1-3/4" circle punch, sliding the paper all the way to the back of the punch, and punched a circle 1/2" from each side, and one in the center (I punched through both layers of DSP).

Then I inserted the treat cups between the 2 layers of DSP WITHOUT REMOVING THE PAPER COVERING THE ADHESIVE. 

I used Tombo Multi-Purpose Adhesive to put a line of adhesive in between each of the cups, from the top of the paper, down to the fold.  ONLY put adhesive between the cups, not above or below them, to make sure you have free space for your tag pull-outs to move freely.

Then, take 2 x 3-1/2" pieces of coordinating cardstock to create your pullout tags.  Insert them between the DSP layers.  Then fill with goodies.....Here's what the back side looks like.  This is a cool idea because you don't have to tear apart the project to get to the good stuff... and it's refillable.

And I couldn't resist using the new Shimmer Paint for some snowflakes on the tags I made with the Rounded Tab Punch.

I will be making lots of these this year, and even filling them with CHOCOLATE would be a great gift!
