Jack-o-Lantern Juice Halloween Treat with GiftGloss

9 · Oct 23, 2012 · 10 Comments

It’s time to get out your GiftGloss from the FoofQueens for some Halloween fun!! I know everyone is looking for some fun goodie ideas for their upcoming Halloween parties and I have a cute idea for you today…

How about some tasty Jack-o-Lantern Juice in a cute little GiftGloss sleeve? All you have to do is find some orange soda bottles and remove the label. I used my Silhouette CAMEO (I have a great deal on those to if you need one too!) to cut out some vinyl jack-o-lantern faces and then placed them on the bottles… super EASY! Fill it with some sweet candy corn or your favorite little candies along with a matching black & white straw from Susty Party and you’ll have the cutest little party treat on the block!!

What makes GiftGloss different that just your normal bag? GiftGloss is the original slide’n’tie sleeve… you get to decide how long your sleeve is!!! All you have to do is select what size sleeve you would like to use.

GiftGloss comes in two widths, 6 inches and 12 inches and with the handy dispenser it’s super easy to measure out your desired length, slide the cutting tool across the dispenser and voila, you have the perfect treat sleeve! GiftGloss is food grade, so it’s perfect for all your spooky treats for family and friends this Halloween season.

I have made several projects over the last year and packaged them with GiftGloss and everyone is always WOW’d with the presentation!

BOO!! Have you missed me? I sure have missed you guys. Life’s been a little weird lately (more on that later,) but I’m BACK!! Not only am I back, but I’m back with everyone’s favorite CAMEO GIVEAWAY!!!

You got it!! One lucky WhipperBerry friend will have the chance to win a brand new CAMEO along with two rolls of vinyl, transfer tape and my favorite Silhouette hook. This is a prize valued at $351.95… Not bad!! This is perfect timing as well, we are in prime crafting season with the fall upon us. Here is what I made yesterday with my CAMEO…

I have always wanted a “Something wicked this way comes…” sign and this year I had the perfect set-up.

It was so easy to make. I used a chalkboard that I purchased at Décor Steals, but I’m sure you can find a fun surface that would work great with your décor. Then I used the Silhouette Design Studio to make the sign…

I used a couple of different fonts, The King & Queen Font and Ostrich Sans Black. I started designing away and added a couple of design elements from the fabulous Silhouette Design Library. I placed everything the way I wanted it and then made sure to use the Weld tool to weld everything together that overlapped. It turned out lovely, and it was sooooo easy to make!
