Hello Ai fans!

Today it's my turn to be featured on the Art Impressions Blog.  The new challenge starts today and couldn't be more fun!  TREAT BAGS!!

I'm featuring the Grateful Hearts Set.

Well...when it's a challenge this fun I couldn't stop at just one bag!

I made a card and 3 different treat bags.

My card is a Dutch fold. (think Dutch doors)

Here's the inside of the card.

This is what it looks like all folded up.

My first little treat bag is a "bag in a box" that I made with my Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers.  Who knew?  Apparently there are so many different things you can do with your envelope maker than just make envelopes!

THIS is the tutorial I followed. 

Believe me, it couldn't have been simpler!

How cute is this??  Bonus...as I was folding it up my mind was racing with other combinations of ways to fold and glue this for different shapes and sizes.

My next treat bag is really a box.

I used my Sizzix Harvest Bucket die and glued it to the front of an open box.

My last treat bag is a clear bag that I made a topper for.

I used all but three stamps from this set on my projects so you can see you get quite a lot of beautiful Thanksgiving images and verses with the set.

Thanks, Renee! Those treat bags are too cute! All of your different techniques and formats are really inspiring!

Hoping for a treat? Join our challenge! No tricks! We always love seeing what our fans create with our stamps, so join in the fun for the chance to win! This challenge theme is "Treat Bags" which is great for Halloween or other kinds of party favors!

More hands, more candy by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

 

I sure hope you're not sick of looking a Halloween fun yet, cause I'm having a blast making up these projects!! Today I've got a little treat box to show you. This little lady is available in full size as the Be Scary Set #4521 at Art Impressions, but today I'm showing you how I used the smaller version More Candy#4641 that is available at AC Moore as a wood mounted stamp! She's PERFECT for popping onto a small treat box! This treat box is about 4" tall to the top of the stem and about 3 3/4" wide.  And this adorable stamp fits perfectly on the front of the pumpkin.  It's so easy to make something like this. Just draw out a pumpkin shape or just simply layer up some oval dies! Be sure to use some distress ink around the edges to make the individual pieces stand out. And then I always like to pop up the front center piece with foam tape.

 

 

Once you make your pumpkin shape,  simply create a small box to attach to the back of the pumpkin, and you've got a self made treat box!  Or you can use one of the many files available out there for a die cutting machine. This one fits three snack sized candy bars perfectly.
