Halloween goodies for the awesome gals I work with! I made these with Tags, Bags, Boxes & More, using the bag that was the fourth row down, fourth image over (or as I code it: 4-4). I was able to fit two per 12x12 page. Can you see the oval window that is cut out in the middle? I created this bag on my Gypsy so I was able to easily add the oval from Plantin Schoolbook, positioning it in the correct location to cut an oval window as it was cutting the bag. If you don't have a Gypsy you can still do the same by utilizing Center Point on your Expression. (I'll post directions on how to do this at a later date - it's really easy though!) If you don't want to candy to fall out you need to adhere some type of cellophane on the inside. I used some clear sheet protectors I had cut up.
The paper I used was purchased at Joann's and is by Cloud 9 Design. It's a really cute pack that includes Fall, Halloween, and Christmas paper. It's a very thick paper and so can be used for bags and boxes. Do you see how it bows out a little though with the weight of the candy inside? A thicker cardstock would not do that. Double-sided cardstock would also be very cute if used for this bag because you can see a little of the inside. I Stickled, ribboned and gemmed to add embellishments.
Here are some close-ups:
Super cute!!! Can't wait to read the instructions on how to add a window with just the center point option.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess I had better get on that then!
ReplyDeleteReally cute idea! It could be adapted to other holidays, too!
