Hi everyone!! Here’s a fun tutorial on creating a fabric transfer treat bag using SSDE. It’s such an easy project and comes out great on these cotton muslin bags, so cute for a special Halloween treat.
I used Avery Light Fabric Transfer paper, but whatever you use make sure you read the directions, I believe with their dark fabric you don’t have to do a mirror image. Other brands may be different also.
I used Lori’s Halloween Embellishments 1 set and the happy halloween from the Halloween Titles. I ended up adding a witch’s hat to the ghost and a circle for the moon just to fill in the design a little more.
I ungrouped and colored all the pieces, you won’t see the ghost if you use white so add a black line around him, I made it a little thicker under the line style window and then checked print lines of selected shapes. After you place everything where you want select all and group.
The bag I used is 5″ x 7″ so I resized my design a little larger then 4.5″ x 4.5″, I wanted some space on the bottom and top and some on both sides.
With your design selected click on the Replicate Window and select mirror right, you can move the original off the mat or delete it if you want. Place the mirrored one in your printable area and print it out.
I cut out around the whole transfer leaving a little border, you could create a shadow layer and do a print n cut but I didn’t want to waste the top margin of my transfer paper.
Use a hot iron without steam, again read the directions of your transfer paper. I recommend a hard flat surface, not an ironing board. Iron any wrinkles in your bag first so you have a nice area for your transfer
Here it is finished, I slowly moved my iron from side to side and then bottom to top for about 45 seconds. The colors really came out great. I tied some Trendy Twine to the end of the bag’s string and pulled it through till it came out the other end so I would have some nice Halloween twine as my tie instead.

Today we have Corri sharing these beautiful Thanksgiving labels, take it away Corri…
Hi everyone! We always host Thanksgiving Dinner at our house and set it up buffet style. I thought it would be fun to have some cute signs to label all the yummy dishes.
I started with this bracket label. I re sized it to 4″h x 4-1/2″w (make sure the aspect ratio box is NOT checked)
Then on the replicate menu along the top select fill page.
This feature allows you to adjust the size of the cut to make sure you get as many as possible from one 12 x 12 sheet. The bracket points on the left and right make it very easy to line this up for scoring.
I cut some pumpkins and flag shapes to add to my buffet markers for a useful and easy way to dress up Thanksgiving dinner.
These could also be used as place markers or treat bag toppers. You could add some candy or a cookie to a bag and then staple this to the top. The paper I used here is from the Echo Park – Reflections Collection that Lori designed.
