Halloween Treat Bags with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing some cute Halloween treat bags.  My daughter only has 8 kids in her class this year so I wanted to make some cute treats for her friends.   These 2 on 12 x 12 Tag Bags are perfect! (Silhouette, SVG)   I love how I can get two bags out of one sheet of cardstock and there are several cute characters to choose from!

I used orange cardstock for the bag and some cute pattern papers from Doodlebug for the tags.

To make sure the ghost and pumpkin stand out on the tag, I created an offset for them using the offset feature in the Silhouette Studio Software.

Head on over the shop to check out all the cute versions of this bag and all the other fun new Halloween files!

Halloween Shaker Card Tutorial with Brandie

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for some spooky pastel shaker cards. I love that pastel colors are creeping into Halloween crafts and décor.

I used the 5 x7 Ornate Card Witch Boot, (SVG, Silhouette), 5×7 Card Ornate Witch (SVG, Silhouette), and 5×7 Card Ornate Cauldron (SVG, Silhouette). The black and white papers come from the Fright Night paper stack by American Crafts and the Halloween shaker bits are from Cartwright Sequins.

The cards needed to be adjusted for the shaker element. The first thing is to remove the score line. (I was careful not move the remaining images because they are aligned perfectly for slicing.) Once the score line was deleted I selected the white top layer and the second black layer and sliced the images.
Now that the two layer have been sliced I  have two white images and two black images. I deleted the two black images and the original white image.

I repeated the above steps for the other two cards. I then adjusted the size to be a perfect 5×7. This is now the fronts of my shaker cards.

I created a new card base for each of the cards. I added a 10×7 rectangle and add a score line down the center. I also cut three additional 5×7 rectangles for the bottom layer of the shaker element.

For the shaker bits I created some pockets with a fuse tool and plastic page protectors. When I create shaker pockets I like to use a scrap piece of paper to help me fuse in a straight line. I made three pockets 4 3/4×6. I trimmed the excess plastic and added the sequins and star glitter to my pockets then fused the top closed.

I dry fit my shaker pocket with the front and back 5×7 rectangles then marked where I needed to attach the shaker pocket. I attached the shaker pocket with super sticky double sided tape. Then added two layer of craft foam around the edges of the shaker.

I then attached the die cut fronts to my shaker pockets with another layer of double sided sticky tape. Then attached the complete shakers to the card base with my tape runner.
I also added some black and white bakers twine to finish off my cards.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a Happy Halloween!
