Gina's Little Corner of StampinHeaven

Halloween is just around the corner!  Today I'm sharing a fun way to give out your treats!  One is a little more detailed and the other is simple and quick!  But no matter which one you create, I'm sure the little monsters will love them. For this first bag, I cut a background image from Close To My Heart's new Artistry Cricut Cartridge in Eggplant, Whisper and Black Cardstock.  I used the Eggplant Cardstock as the background and cut out the bats from the black cardstock and the ghost from the Whisper Cardstock.  I layered them on top of the Eggplant to create a multi-color background.   I added black shimmer trim across the top to seal the folded down edge and a stamped sentiment from Trick or Treat Sweets stamp set.  The 2nd bag was quick to create and would be easy to make alot of these for classroom treat bags.  I used the same stamp - Trick or Treat Sweets to stamp the Frankenstein using a masking technique.  I cut a sim...

I popping in for a quick post here to show off some popcorn bags!  I've got a busy day of creating ahead of me.  Many things planned - let's see how many I actually get accomplished! Last night I held my October Girl's Night Out Event.   I had 16 ladies attending and since it IS October I thought it would be fun to share some Halloween treats. I these made these little popcorn boxes of goodies for each table centerpiece that held some yummy treats! These were so quick and easy to create - only took minutes! The paper is from the retired Spellbound paper pack that was absolute STEAL on the Close to My Heart website a few weeks ago.  ($3 a pack!!)

Happy Saturday!   Here are a couple of more treat ideas using Close To My Heart's new Artiste Cricut Cartridge!   The little treat bag on the left was a snap to make!  So quick and easy.  The finished size of this treat bag measures 4 1/2".  Using the <Halloween> 3-D Object key, I set the measurement to cut at 4 1/2".  To cut the eyes, I used <Halloween> 3-D Object and "SHIFT KEY" keeping the 4 1/2 measurement set on the dial.  (Do Not select "Real Dial Size").  The Artiste cartridge will cut the eyes in proportion to your bag size.  I added some Black Button Brads to the eyes.   My stamped medallion is from from Perfect Fit - Halloween (B1413) and I used some bitty black sparkles from the Sparkles Black and Grey Assortment (Z1754) .  The shimmery ribbon is from the Silver Shimmer Trim (Z1799). To the right of my treat bag is a cupcake treat!  Ok - if you look really close you will...
