Halloween trick or treat bags

Here's another Halloween project - this time a little bag to gift sweet treats to spooky doorstep visitors!

The bag is made using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die, so you'll need a die cutting machine like the Big Shot to use it. I love its attention to detail, right down to the serrated edge along the top. Make it in thin brown paper & it would be a proper little sweetie shop bag!

The bag particularly suits a long, narrow snack like a Finger of Fudge. However, if you're feeling in a tricksy mood yourself you could turn the tables on your visitors & fill random bags with healthy cereal bars & an educational tract on bio-diversity in the Peak District. 

 

And I wonder why my house gets egged on Halloween...

The striped and star papers are from the Happy Haunting designer series paper pack. The papers are double sided and while one side is Halloween themed, flip it over and the other can be used for any occassion. 

The Trick or Treat stamped sentiment and bird are cut out from one of the large stamps in the Witches' NIght stamp set. I love that set, it's definitely a keeper.

I've mounted it all on some black glimmer paper (a great accent paper, don't just keep it for Halloween) and a spider web doily (at just £4.25 the cheapest way to inject a little Halloween fun into your craft projects).

Here's what I used. You can click on any of the items and buy them from my Stampin' Up! shop. And if you're thinking of slamming in a big order (£200 or more - hey, it can happen!) until 9 November you'll receive extra Stampin' Rewards to spend in the catalogue - see http://www2.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=140000 for more info :)
