Trick or Treat Bags for Halloween!

Hello friends! Our project today is all about quick! If you're like me you're always looking for simple projects at the last minute. I think these would be fantastic for your child's class or for a halloween party favor. 

The dies we are using today are Movers and Shapers Dies. Movers and Shapers dies gives you the versatility to move the dies on the magnetic platform to create a shaped window where you would like it.

I set up the In the Bag Bigz die with several of the Halloween Mini icons. Some of my favorites for this project are the Mini Spider and 31, Mini Cat and Raven and the Mini Skull and Bat

Die cut the In the Bag Bigz die using Kraft'core cardstock and don't forget to position the Mini Halloween Spider, Bat, Cat….they will die cut at the same time! How easy is that?

Use a strong adhesive like Rangers Wonder Tape to adhere the flap of the bag. Glossy Accents is also a great adhesive for our project. 

Fold on all the score lines and adhere the flap to the bag. Assemble the bag by folding the little ends in on the sides, then fold in the other large flaps. 

Push in the tab in  to create the box bottom. 

Ink the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink on an Ink Blending Tool. Adhere a 2 3/4" x 3" piece of Kraft'Core cardstock inside the bag over the Halloween icon. 

After the bags were all together I decided to stamp a message at the bottom. Flatten the bag out then stamp with Jet Black Archival Ink using the Simple Sayings set. 

This set is great for all occasions, it even comes with a little border. 

Die cut some little tags from Kraft'core cardstock using the Tag Collection Framelits set. Love this set! So many different shapes and sizes of tags. 

To stamp a little something on our tag I used these innovative stamps. They're Mason Row Pegz Stamps available through Stampers Anonymous. Just click them together kind of like Legos to create your words.

Create a few little words like boo or eek! 

Stamp with Jet Black Archival Ink on to the tiny tag. 

Punch a small hole at the top of the bag, tie Striped Paper Sting with a bow and don't forget to include the cute little tag. 


Movers and Shapers dies are a great way to create custom projects! 
Happy Halloween! 

Thanks for stopping in!
