Week 1: Spooktacular Cat Treat Holders

Craft with Beth: Stampin' Up! 8 Weeks of Halloween Cat Punch Treat Holder Hershey Kiss Toil and Trouble DSP Designer Series Paper HalloweenCraft with Beth: Stampin' Up! 8 Weeks of Halloween Cat Punch Treat Holder Hershey Kiss Toil and Trouble DSP Designer Series Paper Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I love it all - the costumes, the candy, the decorations! I go all out! I have so many decorations that I need a closet just for them. Eek! What better way to share my favorite holiday than by making treat holders and cards with you! Over the next 8 Fridays, I will sharing frightfully adorable projects to help you get ready for Halloween.

Week 1 starts with a quick and precious Cat Punch Treat Holder. I modeled these Hershey Kiss(r) treat holders after the ones I made for Valentine's Day.

I used solid cardstock as well as the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper for the cats. The solid cardstock cats have a witch's hat die cut from the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper. Most of the framelits in the Cauldron Framelit set coordinate with the stamps and the images in the Designer Series Paper! Talk about quick and beautiful! The witch's hats on the Designer Series Paper have a variety of designs, including a sunflower, spiders, and stars - for adding even more possibilities for your treat holder designs!

I chose Basic Gray and Basic Black cardstock because my own two cats are gray and black. They are my sweeties! My gray tabby even greets trick or treat-ers every year! I think she likes Halloween as much as I do.

The rhinestones are custom colored using Stampin' Blends. Now you can have rhinestones in every Stampin' Blend color! The permanency in the Stampin' Blends helps bind the color to the rhinestone, so it doesn't come off easily.

The color palette stays with traditional and newer Halloween colors - Basic Black, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Rich Razzleberry, Fresh Fig, Mango Melody, and Granny Apple Green.  I am loving the combination of Basic Black, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, and Rich Razzleberry!

After finishing the cat treat holders, I thought, "Could you make this with a witch's hat?" Yes, you can! The only caveat is that the witch hat stamp and the witch hat framelit are NOT symmetrical. So, you need to flip one witch hat to the other side just like the cat punch. To work around this, I used solid cardstock, but you could absolutely use the reflection technique to stamp a mirror image of the witch hat too!

For the Pumpkin Pie hat band, cut a 1/4" by 11" strip of cardstock and adhere it to the hat. Then trim off the excess.

The size of these treat holders is purrfect for school parties, the doctor's office staff, coworkers, family members, neighbors, friends, and more while still remaining economical.

Give this project a try for your next Halloween party! I look forward to seeing how you decorate your Cat Punch and Witch Hat treat holders!

You can find the measurements and a supply list at the end of this post.
