I have started to make a few things for Halloween. Even though I still can't believe that it is already October!! Where does the time go??!! I will make some cards to send out and a few treat bags for some special little goblins.
I am joining in with the 31 Days of Halloween fun over on Leigh's Domino Art Blog Day 5. The projects have to be Halloween themed and incorporate a game piece--like a domino. I used a decorated domino to embellish my Halloween Treat bag.
Materials:
Stamps: Spider - Stampin' Up; Sentiments - Impression Obsession
Inks: Stazon Black
Raisin Alcohol Ink- Ranger
Decorative Paper -K & Company
Glossy Accents
Lime Glitter -A Muse Studios
Green Glitter Ribbon
Orange Rhinestones
Die Cut Box: Popcorn Box - A Muse Studios
Label Die Cut: Vintage Labels 1 -A Muse Studios
Domino
Instructions for Decorating the Domino:
- Apply Raisin colored Alcohol ink to the Domino by patting the ink onto the domino with a Ranger application tool. Let it dry for a few minutes
- Stamp the Spider with Jet Black Stazon ink
- Apply a layer of Glossy Accents to the sides of the domino
- Dip the sides into Lime Glitter
- Apply a layer of Glossy Accents to the front of the domino
- Sprinkle a little bit of Lime Glitter on the front of the domino
- Let dry--will take a while for the Glossy Accents to dry---make the box while domino is drying
Instructions for Completing the Treat Box:
- Die cut the box from Halloween decorative paper
- Crease the fold lines with a bone folder and fold up the box gluing the flaps
Note: Because I added the heavy domino to the front of the treat bag, I wanted to reinforce the bag. I die cut a second box from heavy white CS and slipped it inside the box made with DP
- Apply glue to edges of the box and dip into glitter---let dry
- Tie the ribbon around the top of the box
- Stamp the sentiments on DP and cut out with die
- Add the sentiments to the box as shown
- Attach the domino to the box with a strong glue. I used Fabri Tac
- Add the Rhinestones
- Fill box with treats and shredded paper-- This treat box would be a cute party favor too. Picture it with lollipops sticking out.
