Before I share my project & tutorials, I just wanted to remind you of the AMAZING SUMMER PACKAGE available while supplies last from Crafty Secrets. You DON'T want to miss this one!!
Sandy has promised to put together a Fall themed Blowout Sale package along the same lines as our current wonderful Summer Blowout Sale Kit.
Have you seen it yet? CHECK THIS OUT!!!
This amazing sale pack contains nearly $80 worth of Crafty Secrets
goodies for just $19,95 plus $4.95 Priority shipping. We are trying to
empty out our U.S. warehouse so that Sandy can stop making the commute
from her home in Canada. It's an amazing deal. As soon as she has the
Fall sale kit put together, I'll be sure to share it here.
OH! OH! I nearly forgot to tell you!!!
We are THRILLED to have GLENDA BROOKS (MagPie's Corner)

OKAY ... on to today's project!
(going to be a long, photo-heavy post ... sorry!)
Halloween is BIG in my neighborhood (we get between 100-200 kids ... yep that's no typo! lol) So, I went with the Halloween theme today and have created a couple different ways to make a 'special' treat bag! NO ... I'm NOT making up 200 of these!! LOL! They will just have to reach in the bowl like past years ... however, I might fill them for the 2 special little girls next door! Ssshh!
For both treat bags, I have used the papers and images available on the
The selections on this CD and remarkable ... you could just go CRAZY with your decorating!!
TREAT BAG #1
DECORATIVE TOP TUTORIAL:
Step 1: Choose and print the images and papers you'd like to decorate your treat bag with.
Step 2: Add a fancy (more unique) top to your bag using either dies or border punches. I have used one of the dies from the Spellbinder (S5-214) A2 Scallop Borders Two die set.
Step 3: Create your treat bag front as you would your greeting cards and adhere it to the bag front. Before adhering, I've punched a couple holes in the top, left corner and threaded through a piece of orange/black wired ribbon and simply tied it into a knot.
Step 4: Get as plain or as fancy as you'd like. Fill it with your treats and put a huge smile on the face of the recipient!
TREAT BAG #2
SLIDE OVER HANDLE TUTORIAL
Step 1: Again, from the same CD, choose the papers and images you'd like to create with.
Step 2: These colorful, handle bags are perfect for trick or treating and are available at most discount, craft, and even department stores like Target & WalMart.
Step 3: By using one of the 'scrap pieces' from my earlier treat bag, I simply cut a piece a couple of inches wider than the bag and 3 1/2" wide.
Step 4: Score the length at 1 1/2" ... leaving a half inch allowance for the border punching, then slice on the score line an inch in from either end. Creating you an opening to slip over the handles.
Step 5: You can decorate this slide over cover or leave it plain. I chose to use the 'Halloween Loot' phrase from the CD and fussy cut it to separate the words before adhering them to the cover.
I hope you've enjoyed this idea and as I said earlier ... PLEASE pop over to see my team mates project ideas ... here are links to their blogs for your convenience.
and of course don't forget our Guest Designer Glenda Brooks!
I do hope you'll come join in our Linky Party Fun!!
As always ...
