Tutorial Tuesday: Black Cat Halloween Treat Bag

You know what I enjoy?  Making treats for people!  And coinciding with making treats, I love making packaging for treats!  Which is why I was inspired by all of the Black Cat Halloween Card Love to create a treat bag that partners perfectly with my card!  (If you missed that post, click here to see it---it's one of my most pinned creations!)


So what can one put inside this little treat bag?  I was thinking a small package of mini-cookies (maybe four stacked one on top of the other) or some candy treats.  Or possibly some Halloween toys!  It can hold quite a bit!  And this is truly, so quick and simple to put together, you could probably make a lot of them in a short amount of time; perfect for Halloween treats to co-workers, neighbors, or anyone else you'd like to surprise with a few extra goodies to!

Here's how to make it:

Supply List

Paper Dimensions
  • Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (10" x 6")
  • Whisper White Cardstock (2-3/4" x 1/2")
  • Daffodil Delight (scrap large enough to punch 2" circle from)
  • Basic Black (scrap large enough to punch cat from)
Directions
  • The first thing I did was follow the directions on my Gift Bag Punch Board and get the beginning of my bag made.  I used the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper and cut it down to make the "Small" bag.
  • Before folding and assembling the gift bag, use the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut the "handle" from the front and the back of the gift bag.
    • Tip: You can tell the front and bag of the gift bag because they are the two widest rectangles on the bag.
  • Once you've cut the handles out, you can assemble your gift bag using the Tear & Tape Adhesive.
    • Hint: I like the Tear & Tape Adhesive the best for assembling these types of projects (3D).  It's because this adhesive has truly the strongest hold and it is so easy to get just enough of where you need it!
  • Now, take your scrap of Daffodil Delight Cardstock and Basic Black Cardstock and cut out the 2" Circle and the Cat from the punches, respectively.
  • Stamp the "Happy Halloween" sentiment from the Spooky Cat Photopolymer Stamp Set onto your Very Vanilla Cardstock strip using the Memento Pad in Tuxedo Black and notch the edges with your Paper Snips (or use the Banner Triple Punch #138292).
  • Assemble the pieces onto the bag front, using Stampin' Dimensionals for the Happy Halloween sentiment and the Cat against the moon.  Finish with a Black Rhinestone Jewel on each end of the banner and you're done!
Now that your treat bag is completed, what will you use it for??

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month.  Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception!  I saw her use the  Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  and make a pie card!  It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends!  PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!!  So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and  the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog!  So you'll be a step ahead of the new products!  Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: VIA Coffee Holder

Are you following me on Pinterest yet??  If not, please do!  There's a bunch of amazing goodness there!  One of which, is an extremely popular pin---my VIA Coffee Holder. I enjoy trying new things and one day, while wondering the aisles of my local Target, I stumbled upon these new little packages of coffee, called "VIA".  It's by Starbucks and they are instant coffee singles.  Whhaaat!!?  Naturally, (because I'm a victim of marketing) I bought some.  Then I thought, These are so cute!  I want to do something with them and my Coffee Cafe Suite!   After that, my VIA Coffee Holder/Folder (whatever you want to call it) was born. I imagine you can see why this is not just my  most re-pinned pin, but it's pretty popular on Pinterest, in general.  Woot! Now, my friends, I will show you how to make your own with my Tutorial Tuesday! Supply List: Cardstock (I used Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake for the samples above) Check out the Coffee

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!  I hope that your week is going well!  Can you believe that August is half-way over??  I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week!  Eek!  I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households.  (Or all households, really.  I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush!  I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile!  You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
