There were a few rain/show showers in the area this morning. It's quite windy today which makes it seem colder and a high of 42. Yikes! Not sure that I can deal with snow yet.
My share for today is a Halloween Mini Cup and Holder:
When my Niece, Amy, was here last July, we talked about the Mini Cups that I had ordered and making a holder for them. Amy found a pattern and here is the directions for hers which is smaller than the one I made that is pictured above.
Cardstock - cut at 2-1/2" x 11"
Score at 3/4" - 3-1/4" - 4" - 6-1/2"
DSP 2-1/4" x 4-1/4"
But, I had to make mine a little different!
I made my Cup Holder Base from Cajun Craze Cardstock cut at 3" x 12". This way, you can get 4 Cup Holders from one sheet of 12" x 12" Cardstock.
I scored my Cardstock at 3/4" - 3-1/2" - 4-1/4" - 7".
I used my SU 2" Circle Punch to punch a hole in the Base to set the cup in, folded the base into the holder and adhered it with SU's Tear & Tape Adhesive. (Save the 2" Circle for the top of your cup.)
Using the Striped pattern from SU's Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, I cut it to measure 2-5/8" x 3-7/8" and adhered it to the back of my Holder with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
I used a scrap of the Striped patterned DSP that measures 1/2" x 2-5/8" and adhered it to the bottom portion of the base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
Using SU's Large Letters Framelits Dies, I die cut out the BOO from Basic Black Cardstock. I brushed on some Wink of Stella to give it a glittery shine. I also squeezed my Wink of Stella Brush to make some Polka Dots on the letters.
I tied a length of SU's 1/4" Natural/Silver Trim around the back of the Base and into a knot in the front.
I ordered the Mini Cups from Webstaurant. The item numbers are listed below:
ITEM #: 999L4W DESC: Lid 4oz White QUAN: 100
ITEM #: 9994W DESC: Cup 4oz Pap Hot White QUAN: 50
If you order them, note that the cups are a quantity of 50 and the lids are 100.
Using SU's Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set, I stamped the Dotted Paisley in Basic Black Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut it out with the coordinating Paisleys Framelits Dies.
Using SU's Cookie Builder Punch, I punched 2 of the Large Circles from Very Vanilla Cardstock, 2 of the Small Circles from Basic Black Cardstock and the Bow Tie from the Striped Circle Pattern in Spooky Night DSP.
I adhered the Basic Black Circles to the Very Vanilla Circles and to my Ghost with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. I then applied SU's Fine Tip Glue Bottle Adhesive to both eyes and let it dry.
I adhered the Bow Tie to my Ghost with Mono Multi Purpose Glue in the center of the Bow Tie only.
I adhered one of SU's Enamel Glitter Circle Dots to the Hat and one to the Bow Tie.
I adhered the 2" Circle to the top of my cup with Stampin' Dimensionals. I only put the Dimensionals in the indentation of the lid.
Using Layering Circles Framelits Dies, I die cut the 1-3/4" Scalloped Circle and adhered it on top of the 2" Circle with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
Now don't laugh too hard, I took one of SU's White Mini Bow's and colored it with a black marker and adhered it to the top of my cup. I do have some of the Black Bows in the BIG room upstairs; but, most of the stuff is boxed up due to re-modeling. It really didn't take long to color the Bow though. =) And, I got most of the black marker on the Bow and not me!
I trimmed out some strips of DSP that were 1" x 3", adhered them around some Hershey Nuggets and put them in the cup for a treat!
I still have some Stampin' Up Promotions to share with you today too!

PLEASE GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!
I recently discovered that people are using my cards and/or projects, duplicating them and entering them into challenges, using them for their own card classes and (using them on their blogs as their own creations) - Please give credit where credit is due. My cards and projects are my own creations and are not to be used in challenges, blog hops, card classes or sold at craft shows; etc., for profit. I don't mind if you duplicate my creativity to pass on to family members or friends as gifts or Occasions cards; but, PLEASE be considerate of others creativity! Thank you!
