Link up The Love Party - Halloween Sour Cream Containers

So a while back, while I was looking for wedding favors, I stumbled upon a YouTube video (this isn't the exact one, but hey it works) showing how to make sour cream containers. While I didn't do anything with the idea at the time, it's been in the back of my mind. So I decided to give it a go with some Halloween favors.

Here's the goodies for the inside, some caramels, tootsie rolls, smarties, and some gum:













I bought these stamps last weekend at ScrapThat!, which a local scrapbooking store that I go to for crops. I don't remember the company. I cut a 2.25 circle and scallop circle to make the tags. I don't plan on handing these out the kiddos, but a friend is having a party so I might just take them over there. Thanks for stopping by.





I'll be linking this up at Made it Myself Monday, Link Up the Love Party by K. Andrew, More Than Favors, Decorate to Celebrate, Inking it Up, Crafty Sprouts

Here are the rules for the Link Up the Love Party:

Link Up Love Party: How it Works

• Link Up Party runs from Tuesday 10/18 to Tuesday 10/25.
• Grab the Getting Cricky blinky and post on your blog's sidebar
• Be a follower of Getting Cricky
• Create a new blog post that is titled Link Up Love Party with K Andrew. In your post, you must mention that the link up love party is a way to get to know each other and find new blog inspiration, mention my blog, with a link back to Getting Cricky
• Post your favorite project that you've done in your blog for HALLOWEEN
• Copy and paste the link up code into your blog post so the Inlinkz will show up on your blog
• Spread the word so everyone can join in!
• You must visit, follow, and comment on the 5 people before you AND the 5 people after you in the Inlinkz. It would be fantastic if you would visit as many as you can--maybe everyone? If you are one of the first 5 then you will need to blog the ones before you and a few more after--as long as it's a minimum of 10 near you in the link up
• If you do not do the above your link will be deleted, because it's just not fair to those who work so hard linking up and showing love to the ones on the list. I have two moderators who will be checking this out to keep it awesome and fun!

Stay Crafty

Now on to the project(s). We were challenged to come up with some fun, quick, and simple Trick-or-Treat projects or cards. I was having a serious case of crafter's block when I sat down to make my project. I had a ton of ideas and then I got sick. :-(
Those who have been following along for a while know how that goes. Anyway I have 3 cards for you today. All of the cards were made with a K&Company Glitter Stack I found on clearance last year. The card bases are a standard A2 size in black. All the cuts were made using the Oct 31st Solutions cartridge for the Cricut. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Halloween.

























I think I should take photos of my projects at work more often, these are bright and cheery!! Here's a group shot.
