Spooktacular Treat Pocket

Can you believe there's only 11 days till the end of October?  Where has the time gone?  It seems like the month JUST started.

I'm still cutting away at some halloween treat pockets.  This one is designed more for adults than the kids. Just another idea using the Pocket Acorn from the Septemeber issue, "Autumn Amidst" from the Paper Crafters Sampler.

 

A little glitter paper and rhinestones to jazz the treat pocket up.

 

Tuck in a few sweet treats, or nuts for the healthy heart types.

 

A shiny black and grey ribbon around the rim of the cap, topped by a strip of orange and black designer paper.



 

 

 

 

Thanks for taking a peek at another Creative Take on the Pocket Acorn.

Pocket Acorn to Cider Pouch

 

What do you think so far of those fabulous projects using the Pocket Acorn?  It's always interesting seeing how each design team members comes up with a different Creative Take using the same template.

I've taken a different approach using this Pocket Acorn for a fall cider pouch holder. 

 

The Orchard Harvest DSP was the perfect choice for the acorn cap and cherry cobbler to supply an even richer color for the fall.

 

 

For the teapot, I clipped one of the apples from the left over DSP and peices of the teapot from the "From My Heart" stamp set.  Dimensions to lift the banner and the teapot adds extra dimension.

 

 

Here's a glimpse of the inner pocket with a cider packet and some cinnamon sticks tied up with ribbon.

Sharing an alternative for using the Pocket Acorn from the Autumn Amidst issue of the Sampler.

 

The Chex and Cheez-It is a healthy alternative to using candy.  Pour your treats into a clear envelope and seal.  What could be easier?

 

Here the cap to the acorn is removed.  The base of the pocket has an additional as an alternative to using the self-sealing clear envelopes.

Here's a close-up of the inner box with the acorn cap removed.
