Cute Crow Halloween Treat Bag


This is an easy little treat bag to create and it's a great project to use with paper that has a directional design.
The bag is created by taking 2 - 4" x 4" pieces of Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.  Score each one at 1" on three of the sides.  If the pattern is directional then make sure to not score the top edge.
Holding the paper with the non-scored edge at the top, cut the two score lines at the bottom up to the first scoreline.  Adhere the two pieces together and then fold up the bottom and glue it closed.
I stamped the crow image from Freaky Friends onto Whisper White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then punched it out with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch.  I layered this onto a piece of Sahara Sand card stock that was punched out with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and then onto a piece of Basic Black card stock that was punched with the Label Bracket Punch.
The saying is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and was stamped onto a 1/2" x 2" piece of Whisper White card stock and then layered onto a piece of 5/8" x 2-1/4" Basic Black card stock.
I attached the stamped layers onto the bag with Dimensionals.
I used the smallest Cellophane bag, which is 4" x 6", to put some candy in and then tied it closed with a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine.

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!

Simple Fall Colors

 Today's project is a super cute and easy card that was inspired by the changing of the leaves outside my window.
The base of the card is a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" of Whisper White scored at 4-1/4" with a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White over it that I stamped with Hello Honey & Tangelo Twist ink and then drew on the stems using the Mossy Meadow Marker.
I layered a 1" x 4" piece of Mossy Meadow card stock with a 3/4" x 4" piece of Tangelo Twist and then added three of the large Rhinestone Jewels that I place in Candy Dot Brad Bases onto the left side.
I stamped the Hello, from the set Four You, with Mossy Meadow ink onto Whisper White card stock and then punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch.  I layered this onto a punched piece of Tangelo Twist card stock and then onto a punched piece of Mossy Meadow card stock.  I used Dimensionals to attach it to the right of the rhinestones.
I hope you enjoy the video!
