Continuing with the Halloween theme of this week, today’s project is a bag full of yummy treats. I made the bag using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies, Graveyard Gate stamp set, Spooky Cat Bundle (Spooky Cat stamp set and Cat Punch,) Black Mini Sequin Trim and Vintage Crochet Trim. If you like giving little treats and gifts, you should definitely own the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. Then all you need is card stock (CS) or Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create all the bags you need!
both pieces of the bag from Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS)
Stamped with the Graveyard Gate stamp set:
little candies all over the bottom half of the bag
Stamped with the Spooky Cat stamp set:
sentiment onto the upper right of the bag front
cat in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie CS, then heat embossed in clear
covered the entire cat image in black ink, swiping the ink pad over the paper
wiped away the black with a paper towel to uncover the embossed bits
NOTE: I used Basic Black Archival ink, which didn’t entirely come off the embossed areas. In the future I’ll use Memento Black ink, or a Stampin’ Write Marker, instead.
Cut using the Cat Punch:
the embossed cat
Assembled the bag:
glued together the two parts of the bag
adhered Black Mini Sequin Trim and the black Vintage Crochet Trim all the way around the bag with Tear & Tape
glued the cat to the top part of the bag
applied Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the cat as eyes (see my post here to see how to make the rhinestones green)
I filled this bag with Lindor Extra Dark Chocolate Truffles, mainly because they have black wrappers (and because I had them on hand because they’re one of my favorites ever!)

The Little things stamp set is really versatile, with stamp themes for Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, or any other occasion when you want to give someone a treat or gift. Today’s project uses the Spooky-licious stamp with a sponged Mini Pizza Box cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, and a Window Sheet. To see the other project I made using this same stamp, click here.
You should have seen me shopping for candies to put in all the treat containers I’ve been making. Our local supermarket has a large of candies sold by weight, so you can get as much of each type as you want. I was buying lots of jelly beans because they are so easy to use for this. I got a few odd looks as I put bag after bag of candies into my cart. Someone said I must really like them and asked me to recommend some good jelly bean flavors. Unfortunately I couldn’t’ help them because I wasn’t buying them by flavor. Instead I was buying them by color to match my projects!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Window Sheet cut to 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Stamped with The Little Things stamp set:
Spookylicious image in Basic Black Archival ink onto the cut Window Sheet
Spookylicious image in Basic Black Archival ink onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS)
Cut using Paper Snips:
the banner from the image stamped onto Pumpkin Pie CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
circle from the top of the Mini Pizza Box
NOTE: When we demonstrators were first introduced to the new Holiday Catalog in Thailand in July, I was told to use the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies instead of the Layering Circles/Ovals/Squares Framelits Dies, because they cut through the thick box better.
Colored using Stampin’ Sponges:
the exterior of the Mini Pizza Box in Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango inks, layering the colors over and over to achieve the look I wanted (this actually goes very quickly)
Assembled the project:
Window Sheet adhered to the inside of the box lid, with the stamped image showing through the hole, using Tear & Tape
banner adhered to the outside of the box lid, covering the banner portion of the image on the Window Sheet, using Tear & Tape
I filled the box with white jelly beans so the image on the Window Sheet would show up

This is what Stampin’ Up! has to say about The Little Things stamp set:
It’s the little things that matter, such as stamps for 3″ x 3″ cards and tags. Use this stamp set to create them for your giveaways in the autumn and winter months. The way to happiness is to give others—and yourself—a treat once in a while!
For today’s project, I’ve used it on a cute little Halloween treat bag filled with candy corn. Who wouldn’t like to receive this gift? I know I would, and I don’t even like candy corn! But you can also use this stamp set on projects for all sorts of occasions, including Christmas, Valentines, and just because.

Yesterday, I hosted an Open House style Launch Party highlighting products from the new Holiday Catalog. It was a lot of fun! Below are some photos of the displays, and instructions for the Make & Take. (Wouldn’t you know, I completely forgot to take any photos during the actual event. Guess I was having too much fun!)
Here are the Launch Party photos:

Here’s what we made:
I borrowed an extra stamp set, so there are more stamps in this photo than you actually need.
We used two stamp sets for this card. The Painted Harvest stamp set (which will be available in a Bundle with the new Leaf Punch) has some lovely sentiments, but I just adore the font used in the Count My Blessings stamp set.
If you’ve wanted to try a multi-step stamp set but were afraid to, the Painted Harvest stamp set is the perfect one to try first. The flower layers don’t have to be lined up exactly, so it’s good practice for the ones that do.
Here’s what we did:
Stamped with the Painted Harvest stamp set:
first flower layer in Crushed Curry onto the front of the card base
second flower layer in Cajun Craze
flower center in Chocolate Chip
Stamped with the Count My Blessing stamp set:
sentiment in Chocolate Chip
Assembled the card:
used a Bone Folder to burnish the score line in the Note Card
put the card in the envelope
That’s it! Using the pre-cut and pre-scored Note Cards makes this card super easy!

Welcome someone to the neighborhood, to the office, or to the family with a crate full of goodies. The Wood Words Bundle (Wood Words stamp set and Wood Crate Framelits Dies) make it quick and easy to whip up the crate. Add some treats in a cellophane bag and some ribbon, and you’re done.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Wood Words stamp set:
sentiment in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock (CS)
Die cut using the Wood Crate Framelits:
sentiment with the tag die
crate (2 pieces) from Smoky Slate CS
Assembled the crate:
bottoms of the two crate pieces glued together
flaps glued to the inside of each end of the crate
adhered ribbon around crate with Fast Fuse
tied a bow with a separate piece of ribbon and adhered to the crate with Fast Fuse, covering the ribbon’s seam on the crate
inked edges of tag in Smoky Slate ink with a Sponge Dauber
put treats in the gusseted bag
tied the bag closed with a piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine, and tied on the tag
I had some grey gift bag filler on hand, but you could cut Smoky Slate CS into thin strips and crumple them with your hands
