I know I’ve said this before, but I love Halloween! So when Kellie hinted of new Halloween themed borders and centers I knew these would be a favorite! I love the cute little size of the Witch Way to the Treats borders and centers and there are so many punny sentiments perfect for cards and treat packaging! I love making treat packaging, but I usually try to keep it simple and easy to mass produce. Since we’re in a new home this year, I have no idea how many trick-or-treaters we’ll get, but I thought it would be fun to send each of them home with a little handmade treat package! We all know it’s never too early to start on these projects! I started by stamping several of the border and center combinations and punching them out with my 1 ¼” circle punch. Then I layered them onto 1 ½” scalloped circle punches. I purchased a ton 
of these cute little treat bags on clearance last Halloween. I filled them with a few pieces of candy, sealed the flap, and punched a hole in the top corner. I picked out some coordinating ribbons and tied a bow in the hole. Then I attached one of my scalloped circles with silver cording. There you have it… a quick and cute treat that you can start and finish in about 5 minutes! Since I had so much fun creating these little pieces to tie onto my bags I couldn’t stop. I ended up with lots more than I needed and thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway. I adhered my “card candy” to a piece of transparency, decorated around it with Doodlebug patterned paper, the Martha Stewart goo punch, and Making Memories glitter letters. I slipped the completed card candy inside an A2 cellophane 
pouch and it’s ready to travel to a new home. If you’d like this Halloween card candy to use on your projects, just leave a comment on this post and I’ll draw a name on Saturday and send it off! And while you’re here, check out the blog candy offering in yesterday’s post!
