Boo Bags

Howdy!

I don't normally do anything special for Halloween in my craft room, which means that I don't have an actual Halloween stamp set or paper. But, I decided that I wanted to something special for my partners and fellow managers, so I got creative.

I only wanted to do something small, so the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set was perfect (it's also the "happy halloween" that I have lol).  I stamped the sentiment on strips of thick white and then flagged the ends with my Hexagon Punch, but I would recommend the Classic Label Punch.  Then, I used the small, solid paisley from the the Paisley Framelits and thick white to create 30 little ghost bases.  I used my Basic Black Stamp & Write Marker to draw on their cute faces.  For the last bit of decoration, I punched 1" Circles out of Pumpkin Spice (slightly ironic seeing as I work at Starbucks lol).  I set all of these aside to focus on the bag itself.

I decided to use up some of my retired DSP, since I didn't have any Halloween paper anyway.  I used Everyday Chic, but you could use any black and white or Halloween paper that suits you.  I cut mine at 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".  Then, I scored on the long side at:  1 1/8", 2", 3 1/8", and 4"; and, the short side at 7/8".  I cut away the tiny rectangle and cut up the small tabs.  I used Snail to seal everything up.  Normally, I use Fuse or Tear-n-Tape on 3D projects, but since this paper and not holding anything heavy, Snail is fine.

Once all 30 bags were taped up and standing, I used my 1/8" Handheld Punch to at the top of the front and back of the bag.  Then, stuffed each with a either two Hershey's Minatures or three Hershey's Kisses and started adding the decor.  I used Snail to add the circles to the top right of the bag hanging off just a bit.  Then, I used dimensionals to added the ghosts and sentiments.  Finally, I tied everything up with Thick White Baker's Twine (the one I used it retired, but we have some in the current catalog, too).  I threaded the twine through the front and back and then back through the front to close it up and tie a cute, little bow.  Et voila!

Thanks for visiting!
