CASEd this cute little nugget holder from my upline Lorri Heiling and I just ran with it to create some other little versions of the holder. Thank you Lorri for the great idea! I can't wait to change it up for other holidays.
I had some extra ghosts and moon's cut out from a previous workshop and thought this would be a great way to use them up. I also have LOTS of googly eyes and love using them where ever I can. Seems they are most usable at Halloween time!
Cut a strip of card stock 2" x 8 1/2" and score it at 3 1/2" and 5". Punch each end with the Scalloped Tag Topper and you're ready to go!
Cover the nuggets with a strip of DSP 3" x 1" and wrap around the nuggets attaching with a glue dot. I also used a glue dot to hold the candy in place inside the card stock.
Do you see the damage on tis one? This is thanks to little Miss Kitten who loves to hang around when I'm crafting. Apparently I made her mad earlier when I scooted her away from a straw that was off limits and the next thing I know, she's chewing on this! Grrr.... lol She can be such a little brat!
Oh well, it's not the first time one of the kitties in the house has pierced one of my projects! LOL
Thank you for looking in today! I hope you have fun making some of these cute holders.

Here are two of the cards the girls made at our workshop on Saturday. Well, these are my samples, as usual the girls dressed theirs up differently and they all came out so cute!
Have you ever had to try to figure out the middle of a piece of card stock you're using? If you are like me, you hate math and struggle with it. BUT Stampin' Up! has a way to make that so simple! SU has awesome grid paper that I have on my workspace at all times and of course use it at every workshop or class. So, if you have some take a closer look: along the bottom, the ruler goes from 0" to 16" left to right across the bottom. Now, turn the grid around so the top is at the bottom and look in the center. The center is ZERO and grows bigger in 1/4" increments out! Yayyyy!
This grid makes a way to line up the card stock so you can punch the tabs at the same spot on each side so they line up perfectly using the Scallop Tag Punch.
Here you can see what I do. I learned this from Dawn Olchefske on her blog, THANK YOU Dawn!
Place your punch so it is centered on the "0", trace the top of it onto your grid and then line up your card stock so the 5 1/2" side is also centered.
Place your card stock inside the punch. You'll need to slide it in carefully as the punch is made for a 2" wide piece of card stock, but you can get around that and put in any size you want.
