Whimsical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop

Hello crafting friends. Tonight is the start of the Whimsical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop. If you came here from Joni's blog than you are in the right place, if not make sure to get the whole hop in by starting at the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Blog.

For my project today I have some Halloween treat bags and a card set. So on with the show. Here is my card set:


These are fairly simple cards. I used one piece of 12x12 patterned paper by SEI for all 4 cards. I got the paper at the Scrapbooking USA Expo. This piece of paper did all the work for me. The images were fun, embossed and have a fun metallic look too. The ribbon is all crinkle ribbon by the Prairie Bird Boutique. I did 4 different treatments with it. A regular bow, a double bow, and a couple of variations on a bunched up style. I learned most of these techniques from Kimberly at My Craft Spot. I added the darling Mini Ghost from Peachy Keen Stamps. I colored her up with some Copics that I'm still trying to figure out how to use - LOL. But I think she still turned out pretty cute. And all of the perfect sentiments along with that cute little spider come from the All Around Halloween Stamp set by My Creative Time. I love how they fit the cards perfectly. The fun thing about acrylic stamps is that you can make them wavy or straight like I have on these cards. Okay, I think that is about it on these, I just have a close up of each card.





I also have a couple of very simple treat bags to show you. These don't take long at all to whip up:


For these I used the XL Label Die by My Creative Time. I cut them out and then I stamped them with the coordinating border stamp from the Whimsical Calendar Days stamp set. I stamped them with the I {heart} candy stamp from the Mixed Holiday Greetings by My Creative Time. Next I folded them in half and punched some holes for my square SEI brads. I put the brads in and turned them at an angle. I added some more beautiful crinkle ribbon from the Prairie Bird Boutique and some Stickles to the insides of the hearts and I was done. These could easily be mass produced for school treats or something like that. The patterned paper I used is from the DCWV Citrus Stack.
