Halloween is just around the corner so why not make some of these fun treat cards. We used the Wicked Fun Specialty Designer Series Paper. The little flocked bats worked well on this treat card. The test tubes were purchased last year and we believe they were found on www.testtubesonline.com. There are many sizes and so many uses for these.
The inside shows you can include a gift card with your candy treat. Of course, a note pad would be nice, too.
For the second sample, we used Halloween paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog, Nite Owl. The new Bitty Bat punch. These bats were shaped for dimension. We know many don't celebrate Halloween but we hope you see that you could even make this exact treat card (without the bats) and it could be used for a birthday or anything. Much of the paper is versatile.
These are fun and easily adapted for the occasion you choose. The general directions for this treat card are:
-
Score an 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of card stock at - 3-1/2", 4-1/4", and 5". Fold on the center score line and cut in about 3/4" and then another 3/4". Do this from both ends.(See the picture below.) The two "tabs" created from the cuts will be the two pieces that fold "out" and hold the test tube.
Of course, the distance between the score lines and the size of cuts will depend on the size of your test tubes.
Have a great week! Melissa and Gayla
