Happy {belated} Halloween!

The weekends are always crazy for me with the husband and Audrey home, so this Halloweeny post is a couple of days late, yikes! I can't believe my weaksauce self is still pregnant. Just a few more days and baby will be considered full term! Thank you all for your sticky vibes!!!

I created this project for Purple Cows some time ago and it's finally been published on the Purple Cows blog and website.



These are fast and so simple to make! So much fun! Just change the colors and theme up and you've got a treat/favor bag for any occasion!

Here's how to make your own:

Tools:
Purple Cows 1040 2 in 1 Cutter, Cuttlebug, Oval Nestabilities, Oval Scallop Nestabilities

Supplies:
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro, Stampin Up! Top Note Die, Papertrey Fresh Snow Ink, Color Box Chalk Ink - Black, Ranger White Opal Liquid Pearls, Clear Acetate, Close to My Heart My Acrylix Seasonal Thoughts, Hero Arts Alphabet Stamps, Hero Arts Dots and Flowers, Clear Baggies

Step by Step Instructions:

  1. Cut 12x12 colored cardstock into 4.25”x 12” with Purple Cows 2 in 1 Cutter (1040) 
  2. Stamp desired background with Color Box chalk ink – black. 
  3. Accent with Ranger White Opal Liquid Pearls. 
  4. Cut oval and scallop oval frame with Cuttlebug. 
  5. Cut a strip of black cardstock into 3”x 1.25”. 
  6. Stamp spider image with white ink. 
  7. Adhere to front with Glue Glider. 
  8. Cut Stampin’ Up Top Note die with Cuttlebug. 
  9. Stamp sentiment with white ink. Fill clear baggies with candy and treats.

  11. Assemble and secure Halloween Grab Bag with Glue Glider.
