Lollipop Covers A Tutorial - Create with Connie & Mary Color Challenge 167

Halloween is coming soon, and I'm getting the 'goodies' ready for the "trick and treaters".  One of my projects is to make decorative lollipops - actually I'm selling some - have already sold some.

Making the Cover:

1.  Cut card stock  2 1/2 by 5 1/2" for each lolllipop
2.  Score at 2 1/2 and 5"
3.  Punch hole with hand held punch just below score line in the middle (for the lollipop stick)

4.  Apply a piece of sticky strip just above the punched hole.  Apply a glue dot on both sides on the score line.

Add Lollipop

1.  Remove red liner from sticky strip
2.  Fold up bottom flap
3.  Insert lollipop stick through punched hole.  Ensure lollipop sticks to sticky strip.

3.  Fold other half of base down and insert under this folded flap (like a match book)

Scaredy Cat- Happy Halloween - Sketch Frenzy Friday

It's September, the kids are back in school, and its time for another mini blog hop with Sketch Frenzy Friday.
Today's sketch is brought to you by Kim Innis

I recently got the Simply Scored scoring tool, and have been practicing making rosettes.  This rosette is a partial case from the Idea Book and Catalogue  - just changed the colors.  I made the Rosette using the Bring on the Cake designer paper cut at 1" by 12" - scored at 1/4" .  Just a word of caution - when using the Simply Scored tool to score - use the larger end and don't press too hard.  I tell you this from experience - I tore through a few pieces of designer paper before I finally got it right.
