Frankenstein Puppet Treat Bag by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!


Watch video tutorial here!


 Art Impressions has a brand-new set available that is part of their puppet series and it's the Ai Frankenstein Puppet Set (6120). It is the most adorable die set for all of your Halloween projects!

Let's begin by creating a background for the puppet using a fun Spiderweb Background Stencil Set and some Tim Holtz Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Seedless Preserve, Wilted Violet, and Villainous Potion. We can also spatter this panel using the Tim Holtz Distress Spritz in Seedless Preserves and Hickory Smoke. This will give a bit of shimmer!

We can attach this stenciled panel to some black glitter cardstock and add a few black borders along the bottom of this panel by quickly tearing the edges for a spooky look!

Now we can get to the fun part of die cutting the pieces in a variety of cardstock colors that are needed for the little Frankenstein and ink around the edges of each of the pieces using the Tim Holtz Black Soot Ink. This finishes off the pieces nicely! I used colored cardstock, but you could certainly die cut all of the pieces using some white cardstock and color them with your markers or ink pads.

I'll show you exactly how to put this little guy together in the video. For the eyes and eyebrows, I thought I would grab those pieces from the Ai Santa Puppet Set. This is an easy way to add these if you are not keen on drawing in your own. Now for the nose and mouth I did use a black pen and draw those in because it was fairly simple.

Let's glue everything together to build Frankie and add a bit of color to his cheeks, some highlights with a white gel pen, and black stitching around the cuffs and collar.

For the sentiment, we will be using the Ai Spooktacular Set (6111) and die cutting a stitched oval from the Ai Portfolio Template Die Set (5952). Now we can add some Lime Tinsel Embossing Powder around the edges of the oval and heat set the for a sparkly look!

From that same Ai Spooktacular Set we will stamp, color and die cut the cute little spider. For the coloring we will use the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, and Gray. Let's add the spider to the sentiment and attach to the panel.

Next, to create the bag we will use a product that you all probably already own because it has been around for a very long time but is one of those products that I have reached for several times throughout the years. It creates a variety of bag sizes, and we will be using the large size today which will fit this panel perfectly. For paper we will use an ombre' 12"x12" paper in a variety of purples and lavenders. I will show you exactly how to use this nifty little punch tool in today's video!

To finish off the bag we will add some lime green twine by wrapping it around a few times and tying a pretty bow!

Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!
