Sassy Cheryl Challenge #80 - Wrap It, Bag It or Box It

 My friend Denise shared some of these little brown bags with me last year.  I intended to make treat bags, but never got around to doing it.  So when Sassy Judy gave this fun challenge, I had an Ah Ha moment and dug out my bags.   I decorated the front of the bag with the Sassy Cheryl pre-colored Digi, "Single Boo".  I used Spellbinder Big Scallops Squares LG to cut it out and matted in 3 shades of card stock.  The spider web punch is Martha Stewart and the topper was cut with my Stampin Up Top Note Die.  I used heat embossing stamping technique to stamp a couple of tags and attached them to a bit of Halloween ribbon from Seasons Bobbin Ribbon.

I have to tell you a little experiment to try. I stamped the skeleton with white ink and used Opaque White  Embossing Powder to emboss it.  It wasn't real happy with the results, so I stamped another one with White ink and used Clear Embossing Powder.  When I was heating it, I was really surprised the way the clear made the skeleton look translucent too.  Loved that effect so much better with this project. 

I chose to not cover the back of this bag with paper as I have others in the past.  I just took some of my Halloween stamps and covered the back with them.  You can see how I folded the top note and attached the ribbon on this view also.

Thank you Sassy Judy for such a fun project.  It was quick and fun.  I am now making 10 of them.  Heading up to Wisconsin in a week so I am going to take some up there for some special little ones. I am going to assemble the bags, pack them flat in my suitcase and fill them when I get there.  Won't that make a nice little surprise for my Wisconsin Babies.  Oh don't worry, South Carolina Babies, you will get one too, plus one for a certain friend who put in a little "Am I getting one too?" request.  :)

Fun, fun, fun!  So come on give it a try.  Make a treat holder and post it here.
