So I couldn't stop thinking about this project by Carole Burrage... pixie stix! I would always hope for those in my bag after a full night of trick-or-treating, but I never got that many. Well, now that I'm an adult, I can buy my own bag all for myself! haha! Okay, so maybe I'll share a few since all that sugar wouldn't be good for me... So how's about some cute packaging to go along with it? I saw this idea blogsurfing recently and it's perfect to play along with TCP Tuesday and use the latest TCP goodies to make these pixie stix holders.
Really easy, for the main holder: 4.5"w x 5.5"h pattern cardstock. Score at 2" and 4". Fold and glue. Use a 2.5" scallop circle punch piece folded in half to close off the bottom. Use same scallop punch and corresponding plain circle punch for images using the 'Fright Night Clear Set'. Add banner piece with phrase. Embellish with Hocus Pocus buttons and glitter (yum). Hopefully the recipients will take time to admire my work before consuming those pixie stix in a flash! SUGAR! LOL.
If you're already the lucky owner of the 'Fright Night Clear Set', won't you join us for TCP Tuesday this week? Just work that crafty mojo and upload a photo of your creation on Alma's post here (scroll to the bottom). We'd love to see what you've come up with! Details again are on Susan's blog.
Before you go, I hope you leave a comment here on my blog (don't forget you need to leave a comment on each blog participating in the hop to qualify for the nifty prize!) What's the prize you ask? Only the most awesome 'Kitty Kat Pack' ever! The winner of the blog hop will get the TCP Fright Night Clear Set, Hocus Pocus Buttons and Glitter, all to use for their own fabulousness! Winner will be drawn from all eligible participants on Friday, Oct. 2nd and posted on Alma's blog. Good luck! If you don't win, but still would like to purchase the KKP, it will be available on The Cat's Pajamas website.
So moving right along... I'll send you over to one of our past TCP Swanky Stampers of the month, Linda Beeson, who is the next stop in our Haunted Hop! Happy hoppin'!
Fabulous, Tracy! Have I mentioned that I do love me some Pixie Stix...yum yum!

Is it wrong that I am planning a shopping trip JUST for candy for crafting projects? ;)

Such a cute project! I love all of the bright papers that you used and the little tag elements on the side.

So cute! Love your design and choice of designer papers! Your project makes me wish I was a kid again so I can dress up and go trick-or-treating, in search of pixie stix... I never got any when I was a child! LOL!
