Spellbinders Easy Treat Bags

 Here are the treat bags I made for my White Chocolate Popcorn, 

Peppermint Bark and Dipped Pretzels.

First I cut out of decorated lunch bags S5116 Die #4

I left them closed so it cut out front and back

 Then I cut out Transparency Film the Largest die #5 from S5116

2 for each bag one front one back

 I cut the largest die out of red cardstock and white out of die #3

 I used my Heirloom Stamps, Wink of Stella Brush Tips, Archival Inks in Red Geranium & Fern

I used the Tim Holtz Waterbrush to color the leaves in Fern and the Wink of stella for the center of the berries and the clear to go all over my stamped image

 I used 1/8 inch Scor Tape on the Transparency and adhered inside both front and back for my window to see the goodies I made as shown here.....

 Then I added my Heath Bar White Chocolate Popcorn

 & Peppermint Bark along with Dipped Pretzels for my gifts

 Hope I have inspired you!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

So now let's EXPLORE BEYOND with a FUN TECHNIQUE!
 This Card is made using the Distressed Edges Dies and Floral Ribbon Threader Dies

 

 My Finished Card uses the Scor Pal, Distressed Edges and the Flower from Floral Ribbon Threader Dies

Here is how I created the Pattern above.........

 

 Using the Scor-Pal score Cardstock every 1 inch. 

Turn paper and score again at every inch on diagonal.

 

Use the Flower from the Floral Ribbon Set inside each square.  Make sure to tape so you have the flower in the center of each square you choose before die cutting.

 

Take Dusty Concord Distress Marker and the Tim Holtz ruler and draw stitch marks on the score line.

Then die cut using the largest die from the Distressed Edges Set

 Leaving Die inside Distressed Edge Die, ink with Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves

By leaving Cardstock in the die it gives you a white crisp outside emboss line like this :)

 This is a closeup of the scoring, stitching, and flower cut outs.

Layer onto Seedless Preserves Cardstock using E6000 Spray Glue

 

Cut two of the rectangle dies from the Distress set (Largest in seedless, smallest in White)

Cut one flower outside from Floral Ribbon Die and Stamp SEW inside and draw stitches.

Stamp sentiment onto white Cardstock from Sew Sayings Clear Stamps.

Ink edges with Dusty Concord and add buttons to finish card.
