Halloween Popcorn Treats

Hello All My Crafty Friends!!

Warning!!  This is a long post :)

It seems like such a long time since I spent any time in my craft room!!  We were in the process of redecorating our bedroom, so the house has been in total chaos for the last few weeks.  Painting, crown molding, new furniture, a new sleep number bed!!  Whew, lots of stuff!!  The bedroom is all done now, and looks fabulous.  We still have a little accessorizing to do, but all the big stuff is done.

Anyway, with Halloween a few days away, I needed to get into my craft room to make some treat bags for mine and my DH coworkers.  Since I had a short amount of time and needed to make 30 of them, I decided to make something simple.  I found this great recipe for Salted Caramel Popcorn at Hungry-Girl.com, so I wanted to make some and give this instead of candy.  It is yummy and low in calories.  You can click on the link for the recipe.  I had some cute Halloween Ziploc bags I found at Micahels for $1 last year and decided to fill these with the popcorn and I added a cute little tag.

Here is a picuture of the first 15, and a close up of the cute bag.

 

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More to cut the tag at 4 " and Mini Monsters for the cute little ghost at 1.75".  The cardstock is Coordinations, for the tag I used the Black Magic and embossed with a Hello Kitty folder from Sizzix.  I added a strip of glittery green paper at the bottom cut with Martha Stewarts Drippy Goo Punch.  I used the PK - Monster Mash assortment for the face on the ghost and added some glossy accents to the eyes and mouth.  The sentiment is from Crafysprouts, "Totally Witchin" set.  I punched a hole in the treat bag and tied the tag on with My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon in Marmalade.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Monster Card

Ok, so this last card is another card I made in less than an hour.  I just love my newly acquired Mini Monsters.  It is so quick and easy to make these shaped cards.  The hardest part is picking which one you want to make!!  All paper is cardstock from my stash and scraps.  I used Spots and Dots and Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folders, a little inking and some glossy accents.  The eyes are from PK Monster Mash set and the cute sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts brand new "Totally Witchin" set.

Vampire Shape Card

I made this card in less than an hour.  It was super easy, but I love the way it came out.  Isn't he too cute??

Sorry,  the pictures did not come out great.  I used the card feature on Mini Monsters for this card.  I cut all the layers at 5.6".  I added a cute little face from Peachy Keens Monster Mash Assortment. 

I also felt it needed a sentiment, so I cut the sign post from Walk in My Garden and used a stamp from Pink By Design's A Haunting We Will Go.  I used a little bit of Dried Burlap Distress Ink on the sign and the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug Folder.  A embossed his vest and his hair to add a little dimension, and I added a little bling and glossy accents.
