Halloween Treat Bags

Good morning, MME fans! Today we have a treat for you! Danni and Monika are here to share how to use My Mind's Eye for Halloween goodie bags.

Enjoy and happy Thursday!

Treat Bags by Danni Reid

Supplies: Lost and Found Halloween:layered stickers,patterned papers,die cut sheet,decorative brads;Misc:glassline bags,twine,sewing machine and thread

Danni says: When I decided to create Halloween treat bags, I wanted to create bags that showcased the layered stickers. I love the dimension each one of the stickers adds to a project.

I also love that you can create a lot of these in very little time because the dimension shines without a lot of layered papers or a sophisticated design.  This is really important when creating these bags for a class, or staff or neighbors, time is money as they say, and MME makes it so easy.

I especially love how cute this "Boo" banner is, the holes are big enough for the thicker twines, making it easy to create a banner that will really stand out. 

Halloween Goodie Bags by Monika Wright

Supplies:Lost and Found Halloween:decorative brads, patterned papers,chipboard elements,stamps,die cut sheet;All is Bright:twine;Misc:kraft bags,shipping tag,kraft paper,ink,punches,adhesive

Monika says:Because I still have two kids in school, I'm able to have lots of fun creating treat bags for classroom parties. And with one girl in 4th grade, they can't be too cute...especially for the boys. Today I want to share with you how you can make your treat bags unique and spook-alicious, all using your MME stamps.

I began by pulling out all my scraps from the All Hallow's Eve mini book I created for you this month and started playing around.

First, I stamped on a small canvas bag and mini shipping tag, adding a decorative brad for a bit more fun.

Since the crow stamp was on my stamping block anyway, I stamped it onto some patterned paper, punched it and adhered it to a metal rimmed tag attached to my gift bag with some twine. I also layered patterned paper and chipboard above the row of stamped pumpkins.

Do you see the "tissue paper" sticking out of the larger gift bag? That's thin kraft paper from the painting section of The Home Depot that I've stamped and then crinkled before adding to the bag.

Using the Halloween word art, I repeatedly stamped the image onto my kraft bag and then an additional time as well so that I could punch it out and attach it to the bag flap with one of the decorative brads.

No matter the size of the goody bags for your Halloween tricks or treats, MME has you covered!

Here, I've used some covered chipboard left over from the mini book, a decorative brad and a bit more stamping to share another way that scraps, stamps, chipboard and die cuts really are the perfect combination this Halloween!

What will you be using to create your treat bags this year?
