Spooky Treat...BBTB Tag Challenge Blog Hop

Hello Everyone!!! This week will be a fun week for me & you... I will be working on a Spooky Treat everyday this week and am thrilled I will be able to share them with all of you...

To begin the week I am sharing my project for Bitten By the Bug. Regina asked us to use the Tag cut from the Stretch your Imagination Cartridge ( and use it in a Halloween theme) I knew exactly what I was going to use it on. This week I will be surprising 5 of my dearest friends with a spooky treat everyday until Halloween.
For my first treat I created this....

I bought Starbucks gift cards and requested a cup for each card. I decorated the cup and placed a bag with cookies inside. I used Design Studio to create the tag (mummy) card. It is a tri-.fold card that starts off like this....

Then opens up to the second flap....



And finally opens up to reveal the gift card treat...



I love this project soooo much I wish I could keep one for myself :)

I have added a couple more pics of the cup...it has so much detail to try to explain...

Let's see... I doodled a spider web all around the lid and added some CB spiders with pom poms on their bellies...I bought those cute straws at the dollar store ( 5 for 1$) and added a bow.



The sleeve for my cup was cut out of Bazzill Bling and embossed with CB folder. I cut a strip of Halloween paper from MME for some color and sandwiched a bit of lace between both papers. I cut my orange tag with Nesties and added a sticker with pop-ups.


The finished product...Sorry such a long post but I think the detail is worth explaining :)
SOOO..on to the good stuff.....

The Happy part of the challenge this week is the BBTB Blog Hop...
One lucky winner will get...
