Halloween Party: Day One

Hello crafting friends. Welcome to day one of my Halloween week. This is my favorite time of year. I love everything about it: the cooler weather, changing leaves, pumpkin coffee YUM, apple and pumpkin picking, and great opportunities to take some fun family photos. This week I will have a Halloween project for you everyday and some fun blog candy. I hope that you have fun visiting and get some ideas that you can use. For today I have decorated some little treat bags, and created some matching cards:

 Here are the cards:

For all of the little images I used Stampin' Up "Batty For You" stamp set, and stamped them using SU Classic Ink. The images are stamped on a 1 3/8 circle punch, and then layered on a 1 3/4 circle punch and then a 2 3/8 scallop punch. They could have been stamped on smaller punches, but I accidentally ordered the wrong sizes! It still worked out fine though. I pop dotted each layer, and also used a pop dot to adhere them to the cards, and the cellophane bags. I did some heat embossing on the spider card using SU white embossing powder, and added some twine to tie it shut. I used some bling bling tinsel string on the Frankie card, and added a few candi embellishments. For the pumpkin card I used my Martha Stewart edge punch (don't know the name) and added some ric rak. I kept them super simple, but think I dressed them  up just enough. Here are the treat bags:

The cellophane bags are from SU and measure 1x8. I put skittles in mine, but they would also be great for M&M's, Gum Balls, Reese's Pieces..you get the point. All of the solid card stock is from SU and the patterned paper is from last years K&Company "Halloween" stack. Here is a close up of the tops of the bags:

I tied a bow on each one of the bags with bling bling tinsel string from the Prairie Bird Boutique., I had a lot of fun making this little set of cards and treat bags! Every year we always put aside special treats for certain friends and family, I will use these to give to my next door neighbors kids.

I wanted to giveaway similar items that I used on my project today. Since Halloween will be practically over by the time I announce all the winners and get everything out, I chose items for the Winter Holiday Season. The first is "Jolly Bingo Bits" stamp set from SU. Here is a picture of the images. I could not take an actual picture of the set because then you would not be able to see the images, so this is from the SU site:

This set coordinates with a Bingo Card Stamp, but works great with circle punches too. The second give away is the little cellophane bags:

And the third is "Dear Santa" bling tinsel string:

One random winner will receive all three of the giveaways today. All you need to do is:
