MDS Blog Hop: Halloween Party

This week our theme is Halloween Party. This could be anything you would use to throw a Halloween party: invitations, games, favors, etc. I chose to focus on favors and treat bags. First I created my tags (design inspired by Michelle Wooderson) and bag toppers in My Digital Studio. Then I printed them on Whisper White card stock and cut them out. Then I used them on multiple projects to show you all the ways you could use them for a party.


Stampin' Up!'s new long skinny cello bags are perfect for favors! Just fill them with candy or Halloween pencils.


I played with dressing them up. Attach them to cello bags with ribbon, twine, or a clip. Attach real buttons to add dimension.

Wrap an Oreo brownie with ribbon and attach a tag for a quick, cute treat! I also added a scallop border, paper piercing, and a flower punch and glimmer brad to dress up the tag.


I stapled the bag toppers to cello bags filled with candy and Halloween Oreos. Basic Black card stock punched with a scallop border punch behind the toppers adds a finished look.

And finally, I created a card to show the tags' versatility. I created a black pocket with sticky strip and slipped a candy corn filled cello bag into the pocket. I used a Textured Impressions Folder on the card base that was sponged in black to give the spider web a little bit of oomph. I also punched another Pumpkin face out of an extra tag and popped it up using Dimensionals.
