Candy Corn in a Card!!! It is too cute!

I absolutely love using the Sweet Treat Cups from the new Mini Holiday Catalog. I am thrilled that I get to preorder things as a demonstrator so I can show them to you right away. Today I tackled the question, how do I get to my candy without taking the card apart and there was only one way to go about it. You have to be able to get to it from the back or the inside of the card.
So I punched a hole through my card and added another back with a sliding tab. Pull up on the tab and the candy comes right out.
The great thing about this is that it is easy to refill the card/cup. I also made two cards for my girls and they just love taking all the candy out and putting it right back inside.
The girls opted for German gummi bears in their cards instead of the candy corn. I had them sort the bag by colors and they could have all the gummi bears but red and green. I am already thinking about how to use the Sweet Treat Cups in Christmas cards and gifts.

Supplies:
Colors: Whisper White, Only Orange (top cards), Dusty Durango (girls' cards) Stamp Set: Batty for You Must have for the Sweet Treat Cups: 1 3/4" circle punch *
I am putting together instructions and a template to make these cards. They are free with the purchase of a Halloween stamp set & one set of Sweet Treat Cups ($2.95 for 12). The Mini Catalog also has a really cute stamp set that is made specifically for these cups.

All these cards put me in the mood for some cool trick or treating. October and the colder weather will be here soon enough. I will enjoy the rest of summer first.
