Spooky Sweet Gift Bag
Oh, my gosh, can you just see yourself giving some of these cut treat bags to friends and co-workers and trick-or treaters? These bags easily hold a variety of candy and non-candy treats. I originally created these little bags (inspired by the Plaid Poodle) with Stampin' Up!'s Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, one of my current favorites. See that post here. But I realized, these party favors work well with any of Stampin' Up!'s patterned papers. So, here's my bag using the Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Details and Measurements Below, I offer some cutting and scoring directions. Be sure to watch the video to...
Gathering Together Gift Bag
It's not a secret that my favorite patterned-paper-of-the-moment is Stampin' Up!s Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I love the foil accents and the rich fall colors. And, I love that I get a chance to use my Cajun Craze card stock. I made these for a team gathering with different papers and belly bands, adorned with a Gold Foil leaf embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. I've used this Designer Series Paper in a number of projects throughout the last month.

Halloween Treat Packet
For my monthly in-person classes in my home in Meza, Arizona, I love to give every participant a treat packet. In September, I created this cute Halloween treat packet using Stampin' Up!'s Nested Essential Dies, the Mini Alphabet Dies, and some Halloween Dies. No stamping here! The elongated hexagon-shaped dies reminded me of a coffin, so I created a design that allowed me to include a chocolate treat. Here's what the treat packet looks like from the side. It fits a Fun-Size candy bar. Measurements and Details Here are a few details to help you make this packet at home: Die cut the largest hexagon shape from the Nested Essentials Dies with...
