Halloween Treat Bags for The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge Blog

Sara  Emily Barker https://sarascloset1.blogspot.com/2019/09/halloween-treat-bags-for-funkie-junkie.html Tim Holtz Halloween Treat Bags 1

Hello, and welcome! It's time for our latest challenge at The Funkie Junkie Challenge Blog, and this time our hostess is the talented Maggi. She calls her challenge Treats Not Tricks!, and here's how she describes it:

 Choose a theme and make something that will hold a treat for someone.  It could be a Halloween treat bag, a Valentine's candy box, a birthday card for a special person that holds a treat (could be a gift card "treat" or a bite of chocolate), anything that can hold a treat.  So, for this challenge, choose a theme and make a vintage or shabby chic treat project to treat your someone special!

As always, the winner will earn a chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date at The Funkie Junkie Boutique blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the draw for the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team. Please see the blog for details.


This is my first time using my Treat Bag Thinlits die set by Tim Holtz, and I got a little carried away making little gift bags for those special little goblins that come around on October 31.  Because we decorate our home and yard, and Elvis performs on stage in front of his house down the street, we tend to draw families from all over town. I made these special bags just for our neighborhood kiddos and tucked in a little toy along with their candy treat.

Since this is such a photo heavy post, I'll keep the 'talking' to a minimum. A complete list of products follows the post, but if you have specific questions, leave them in the comments below, and I will respond as soon as possible.

The first is cut from Idea-ology Halloween Collage Paper adhered with Distress Collage Medium Matte to white card. Halloween Ephemera. (I used past year's, but I've linked to the new pack.) and the new Remnant Rubs add a little detail.

For the following four treat bags, I die cut old Halloween Paper Stashes by Tim Holtz and spritzed with Distress Oxide Sprays. I love how the dries into so many different colors.

This die set includes a full alphabet plus some along with the bag die--a wonderful crafty bargain in my opinion! Using the included letter dies, I cut Halloween greetings into the back of a couple bags, and spelled out Poison into the ephemera stapled onto the bag pictured above.

The next one was super easy to embellish; I had the Crackled Stacked Baroque piece left from my play with Tim's versatile Crackle 3D Texture Fade. If you want to see more ideas for using this embossing folder, you can hop over HERE. All of the bats were in the thank you gift bag Linda puts in every order from her shop. The three larger die cut bats are Bat Crazy Thinlits.

The new Mummy Cloth is fabulous! It colors up to the perfect creepy shade with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Spray. I used this for Mr. Skelly's withered hair, on the Baroque frame and to stuff that same treat bag (pictured further down). I dyed some other colors to use in other bags. I used the hand dyed ribbon that ties up Linda's thank you gift to stuff my bag along with some cheese cloth and for Mr. Skelly's bow tie.

I used Abandoned Paper Stash for the last two treat bags. These papers are magical all on their own, so all I did was apply Distress Archival Black Soot ink along the edges on the first, and splashed on Black Soot paint on the second. I colored a panel to fit the front of the bag with Distress Oxide inks in Mahogany and Black Soot and cut with Stacked Baroque Thinlits to make embellishments for each. The smaller Paper Dolls are from last year's Ancestor's pack.

Not shown, I used Grime Layering stencil and Black Soot ink to add interest to the insides of some of the bags before assembling. It's an easy way to get that splattered grungy look without the mess.
