Inspiration: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday (Anything Goes) + Little Red Wagon #573 (Halloween)
I have two Doodlebug Halloween stamp sets purchased last year that I had received late in the season and did not have much time to play with, so tonight, I decided to stamp all of the images from both sets and colour them with Copic markers in colours matching the Pumpkin Party collection (which also dates back from a few years ago). I don't usually work in batches as I don't necessarily often have a use for bunches of similar projects, but I can definitely see the benefit of doing so as it becomes really easy to create various projects and embellishments when you have a series of matching items available on your desk and ready to create something with.
Instead of figuring out first what my treat bags would need, I assembled the bags and went through my colored images to see what would work best. The sticker sheet from the collection pack has a lot of big stickers that would be hard to work into cards as they would fill in the whole space, but that actually came in handy on the treat bags. I then added my images around the sentiment based on space available.
Both bags were accented with tulle because I had leftover pieces on my desk from previous Halloween projects. On the first bag, I created a dangle using a candy corn glass bead found on sale at Michaels. I tried adding a eyelet on the top of the bag to clip the dangle in, but I placed it too low, so I wrapped a piece of tulle in a bow and clipped the dangle on it instead. For the second bag, I stapled my piece of tulle to gather it and glued it inside the top of my treat bag. Rhinestones, gems and pearls were added to embellish the bags.
My nieces are always drawn to everything Doodlebug designs, so I expect those packages to be amongst their favorites.
