Halloween Treat Bags

Happy Saturday friends! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I know I am. I have some treat bags to show you today that I created  using products from the store. 

These bags were a lot of fun to make. The bags I get from work. They are rejects from the stampers who stamp the brand image on them by hand.  Rather than them end up in the garbage, I take them home and use them for projects such as this! They also make fantastic banners. :) 

To color the bags, I used Shimmerz paints. I dumped a portion of my paint container in the color I wanted in a zip lock bag and added water to it. I threw the bag in the bag and closed it.  To get the bag fully colored I rolled and squeezed the baggie until my fabric bag was entirely colored. I learned this technique for coloring bags from the super sweet Kendra Sand. Go HERE for the tutorial. 

After both of my bags were covered with Shimmerz and had dried, it was time to decorate them. I used some of the MME Lost & Found Halloween Collection to decorate one of the bags and some Doodle Twine by Doodlebug for the other along with some acrylic paint, Faber Castell markers and more Shimmerz.

My ghosts were painted on by me. I rarely paint actual images, but I figured it would be hard to mess up painting ghosts.... right? :) 

I hope you've enjoyed my treat bags, and hope that you all have a Happy Halloween this year. Don't eat too much candy!!

MME Lost & Found Halloween Cards

Good morning Happy N Scrappin' lovers! How have you all been? Are you enjoying your October thus far? How about this week? It's almost over... hooray! At least the work week for most of us anyway. :) 

Today I have two cards I made using My Mind's Eye's Lost & Found Halloween Collection. This collection has a vintage feel to it, which I love. Think apothecary, tonics, elixirs and poison bottles. That's what I see when I look at this collection. It reminds me a lot of the bottles and inspiration where I work. 

For this first card I created a broom stick out of a strip of some of the patterned paper and a river reed from a scent diffuser set that the company I work for makes. They make great mini broomsticks! I used some distress ink along with alcohol ink to color it like a broom. Some Doodlebug Doodle Twine was used at the top of the broom bristles. I plan on making a bunch more of these to use on a banner I plan on making. 

The second card is even more simple, with one patterned paper being the majority of the card with only a strip of solid cardstock at the bottom. The orange die cut with words is from the punch outs included in the Collection Kit. 

Below are the two cards together. I hope they make someone happy when I send them. :) 

Remember that there are lots of other new collections by My Mind's Eye available in the store, so be sure to check them out!!
