Hello Stamping Friends. I’m trying to get back on schedule now.
My little dog Aspen was very very sick and admitted to critical care in the specialist Animal Hospital. After two visits to my regular vet I had to take him there to the ER and they admitted him to the hospital. He was there for 4 days and I brought him home for one night and then he had new issues and I took him back to the ER and he stayed for 11 more days. He was one sick doggie.
But he finally turned the corner and I was able to get him last Friday – which happened to by my Fall retreat weekend. I brought him back to the cabin and took care of him there along with all the ladies that attended the retreat. They were a great help to me and loved on him. Now we have been home for a few days and he continues to improve.
So now I’m trying to finish sharing all these cute projects with the Trick or Tweet stamp set. I will try to pick up where I left off.
Today’s project is one of our Mini Pizza Boxes. Inside I found snacks cakes that are little pumpkin shaped cakes – I’m pretty sure they are pumpkin pie flavored. I’m not a pumpkin fan so I didn’t eat one. But any round fairly flat treat will fit in these food safe boxes.
To color the box I used my Sponge Brayer – I used two colors – Pumpkin Pie and Mango Melody. I wanted kind of an ombre effect so I used the Pumpkin Pie in the center section where the box folds and used the Mango Melody on either end. Just roll over with the sponge brayer until you achieve the darkness you desire. I did spray the box with plain hairspray – that’s what we used as a sealer in the old days and I still had a can in my craft closet. Then decorate the box!

I originally planned to do a FB live today (Wednesday at 3:00 pm) but my little Aspen isn’t feeling well and I had to take him to the vet this morning. He is still there and I’m waiting on an update so I don’t want to tie up my phone with the live today. I am now planning to do the live on Thursday at 3:00 pm. Catch me on my FB Business page – At Monika’s Place on Thursday afternoon for a Facebook Live showing you some other cute treat ideas with this stamp set. I’m planning to go live at 3:00 pm EST.
For now here is another little project in honor of my sweet little Aspen. I wouldn’t call it fun but he did give me a scare – I’m still waiting on some news though.
The little dog on the Trick or Tweet set is all dressed for Halloween. I found the perfect candy at the store to match – Lemon Lime Twist, Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie. It was the Ghoulish mix from the M&Ms. Since we don’t have a Lemon Lime Twist Blends I did use the Granny Apple Green to color in the cape and band on the hat.

I think I love all the little animals in the Trick or Tweet stamp set. The first one that I actually played with though was the little elephant. I’ve collected elephants since I was a little girl so this was one I was naturally drawn to.
There are several new Holiday Catalog products on this card – the Trick or Tweet stamp set, the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder, the black glittered ribbon and new Stampin’ Blends in Blackberry Bliss. I thought it turned out to be a fun card.

All week long I’m going to be featuring this adorable stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog called Trick or Tweet. It’s a cute little Halloween stamp set with animals dressed up in costumes – a dog, a cat, an elephant, and a little chick. They are so cute!
Today’s project was one that I created after finding Glow in the Dark candy at the store. Well the candy doesn’t glow in the dark but the wrappers do. So I wanted to use our clear tiny treat boxes with the candy inside. If you leave it out in the light it “charges” up the wrapper so that it will glow later in the dark. And the wrappers are a perfect match to our Lemon Lime Twist color!
Supply List
- Trick or Tweet stamp set
- Clear Tiny Treat Boxes
- Lemon Lime Twist card stock
- Basic Black card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon
- Basic Black Baker’s Twine
- StazOn Black ink
- Stampin’ Write Markers – Lemon Lime Twist, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie
- 1/2″ circle punch
- 1-1/2″ circle punch
- 1-3/4″ circle punch
- 1/8″ handheld punch
- Corrugated Embossing Folder
- Big Shot Die Cut Machine
I cut a 2″ strip of Lemon Lime Twist card stock and ran it through the Big Shot inside the new Corrugated Embossing Folder. I put that inside the Clear Tiny Treat box to fill the space around the candy inside the box. The little chick was colored with the Stampin’ Write Markers. Tie the ombre ribbon around the box and then add the finished tag.

There are so many beautiful samples in the Holiday Catalog. For my card for Stamper’s Club this month I decided to case the catalog. We used the Making Christmas Bright stamp set and I created a modified version of the card on page 6. The sample is a smaller square card and the card I made is a full size card.
This card is the same colors and layout as the one in the catalog. I did not use any sequins only the Real Red Mixed Satin Ribbon. The polka dot print is from the All is Bright Designer Series Paper. We stamped the greeting on Whisper White and the catalog sample is stamped on one of the pieces from the paper pack. The end of the little bulb is also different – we stamped in Gray Granite and punched it out. I also added an inside layer of white that has the hanging stars stamped in the corner.
Supply List
- Making Christmas Bright Bundle (stamp set and Christmas Bulb punch)
- Call Me Clover card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- All is Bright Designer Series paper
- Real Red Mixed Satin Ribbon
- Call Me Clover ink
- Crushed Curry ink
- Gray Granite ink
Here is a look at page 6 from the Holiday catalog – you can see the card that I cased.l
If you need some quick inspiration be sure to look at the samples in the catalogs and use them as a starting point for your creations.
