Happy Hallo-weenie!

 I just love Raisin Boats fun Halloween set Canines in Costume. I colored the Hot Dog with copic markers.  I used a candy stamp from Halloween all around to make my own back ground. I colored the candy's with copic markers. It really was fast and easy.I used some of Raisin Boats bright card stock to make mats and flap for my treat bag holder.It is just a 1/2 sheet of paper that I scored to make a treat bag holder.I stapled the clear treat bag inside and used double face tape to secure the flap.
  You still have a little time to make some fun Treats for your little kido's

Day 15 Halloween count down and blog candy

 Today I have a quick and easy Treat box for you. I die cut this box using a Accucut die from a pearly,metallic white paper. I stamped on the words with Momento ink and I stamped the bats on scraps of white paper and cut them out. I used foam tape to add the bats.( Bend the wings for more of a 3 D effect) That is it, that quick! For fun use black tulle instead of tissue paper it adds to the spooky feel.

Day 12 of my Halloween count down and blog candy give away

 How about a fast and easy treat bag holder. I cut this from 1/2 sheet of Raisin Boat paper. I scored it to make a stand up bag holder.I embossed the front with a embossing folder and then inked it with white ink to make the web to stand out.  I used Halloween all around for the O's in the word boo and the letter is from the set Alpha Bold. I die cut the word with circle dies from spellbinders as well as the deckled rectangle and black mat.Don't forget to put up the word with pop dots.Put a clear treat bag inside full of goodies.I love the way this one turned out!

Day 7 of the Halloween count down and blog candy

 Today I have of fun and easy treat bag idea. I have taken small lunch type bags and ran then through my cuttle bug with a embossing folder. ( be sure to fold the bottom in on itself so the whole bag gets embossed.) I then rubbed ink over the embossing with a sponge to make the embossing stand out. The bags were found at my Jo Ann Fabrics store in the gift bag area. I then made some bag toppers using spellbinders dies that were a size that fit nicely over the bag when folded. I layered my stamped/colored and die cut pieces on the folded bag topper.

The stamp sets I used were from Raisin Boats All wound up I used spellbinders dies to cut the circles and scraps of paper I had to make a stripe under the circle.This is a fun way to make more of your stamp set by cutting one area of  the stamped image.I hope you try this fun and easy trick to making a treat bag.

 How about some Halloween ideas for some cute little trick or treater's you know. I am using Raisin Boat stamps for all of these projects. I will have a new project every day until the 30th My 50th Birthday!.

Just sign up to follow my blog or if you already are a follower then leave a comment and I will pick a random winner on the 30th. Feel free to tell your friends to join in on the fun.

This is an accucut take out box box I die cut out of glossy white paper. I then used a Raisin Boat back ground stamp Distressed inked with black momento ink. I stamped the spiders on randomly and edged the box with Ranger distressed ink to give it an aged look.
