Halloween Mini Treat Bag using Spooky Night Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

  • Halloween Treat Bag
  • Card Class registration open now

Spooky Night Treat Bag 


I'm on a kick this week to crate Halloween treat packages using Spooky Night Designer Series Paper and the Spooky Cat stamp set.  Today I'm using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit with these new Halloween items that will be available to customers September 1 to create fun packaging to hold the new Treat Tubes, cookies, or other sweet treats for Halloween. I'm using another pattern from the Spooky Nights stamp set that I haven't played with yet.     

  



The treat bag base is Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP).  The bag pieces were glued together using Fast Fuse, which is stronger than snail and will hold your 3-dimensional projects better than snail.  One tag is Pumpkin Pie and cut using the banner in the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits set.  The other tag is 1" wide and cut free hand.  Its also a pattern from Spooky Night DSP.  The Pumpkin Pie tag includes a pattern from the Pick a Pattern Washi Tap placed horizontally on the top and bottom, and another pattern from that Washi tap is run down the right side of the treat bag.


Treat Tubes fit nicely in this cute Halloween Treat Bag




The sentiment is from the Spooky Cat stamp set and is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink.  The potions are also from that set, and they are two-step sets.    The sentiment label is cut from Very Vanilla using the Layering Ovals Framelits.  The framelits set was also used to cut the Basic Black Scalloped backing for the tag.

 The Treat Tubes will be available in the Holiday catalog, and fit nicely inside the treat bag.  The thick Jute twine around the top of the black jelly bean Treat tube is also new and will be available in the Holiday catalog Sept 1. 




Fill treat bag with cookies, candies or the new treat tubes filled with sweets.


The tags include strands of the Black Mini Sequin Trim from the annual catalog and the new Basic Black Vintage Crochet Trim from the Holiday catalog.   

My customers should have received their new Holiday Catalog by now.  Be sure to order your Halloween favorites as soon as new catalog ordering opens September 1 so you have plenty of time to make these cute projects for trick or treaters visiting you this year.

Spooky Night Halloween Treat Box

  • Halloween Treat Box
  • August 27 Card Class open for registration

Spooky Night Box made with Gift Bag Punch 


Today I created a couple of treat boxes for Halloween using the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper and Basic Black cardstock.  These cute boxes are actually rather large and all one piece.  They hold a couple of the new treat tubes, or a small package of sweets and are perfect for the visiting trick or treaters.  I love that these are a single piece of cardstock, including the lid.  The lid simply flips up.     

  
The Cat punch from Stampin' Up! was used to create the cat silouette



The base box is Basic Black and covered with Spooky Night Designer Series Paper which becomes available in the Holiday catalog on September 1.  The striped banner paper is another pattern from Spooky Nights.  

I began with an 11-3/8" X 6-3/8" piece of Basic Black card stock.  Using the Simply Scored Scoring tool, score along the long side at 1-3/8, 3-3/8, 6-3/8 and 8-3/8.  Turn the Basic Black card stock and score on the short side at 1-3/8" and 5"


Switching to the Gift Bag Punch Board, along the long edge, line up the 1-3/8" score line with the score guide on the punch and punch. Move to the next score line (3-3/8") and align with the score guide and punch.  Move to the third score line (6-3/8) and punch.  Line up the longest edge with the punch guide and punch again, giving all edges rounded corners.

 Now, flip the Basic Black piece over and beginning again with the 1-3/8" edge, align with the punch guide with the score line and punch on the four score lines again -- 1/3/8", 3-3/8", 6-3/8" and 8-3/8".  Line up the outer edge as well, and punch causing rounded corners on all edges.

 The dimensions for the designer series pieces:
  3-1/4" x 2-3/4" - for front of box
  3-1/4" X 1-3/4" - for top of box
Watch the direction of your prints or stripes
Use Fast Fuse to hold your box together.

 The banner-tag:
  Very Vanilla - 2 X 5".  
  Stripe from Spooky Night - 1-3/4" X 4-7/8"
   

 Use Fast Fuse to adhere the banner - tag.  Only glue it to the box cover so it flips up when the box cover flips up.  I tied a double bow with the Shimmer Ribbon in 3/8" Basic Black and then glued the ends of the ribbon under the lid.



3/8" Black Shimmer RIbbon Bow added to top of box


Add a Basic Black cat punched with the Cat Punch.  Add the cat with two dimensionals attached to the tag -- not the base of the box -- so the cat also flips up when the cover is removed.   The box is fairly busy so I didn't add a sentiment, but you could easily add the Treat or Treat sentiment from he Spooky Night stamp set. 

Be sure to add the Cat Punch to your first order from the Holiday catalog, as its sure to be very popular.  The cat punch and the coordinating Spooky Cat stamp set will be available as a bundle saving you 10% when purchased together. Add a package of the Spooky Night Designer Series papers so you'll be set for Halloween projects.
