I made a fun treat sack using the new "Bags and Tags Creator". I used the zig zag edge at the bottom of the sack because it reminded me of the bottom of a ghost costume or drawing! The way I created this treat sack is by  die cutting two of the large pieces and scoring them on the side in the same place. I folded that little flap over and attached the two pieces together. Close up the bottom and you have a super quick and easy treat bag. I used the new "Abundant Autumn" 6 by 6 paper pad for all of the projects today!

I used the new "Boo yea" stamp set as well as the new "Frightening Friends" to create this little ensemble! I just love how easy this little ghost is to make, but I thought he looked especially cute all dressed up in some of the new pattern paper! Each set includes a 3 by 3 card as well. I bring little gifts like this to give to my kids' teachers and I like to leave a little note, especially if they aren't in the room when it gets dropped off.

I made a second little ensemble, but this time I used the zig zag edge at the top! I want to make a million of these sweet little bags in all of the different papers! I used the Frankenstein from the new "Frightening Friends" stamp set as well as the spooky tree and fence!

I love how the "Boo Yea" stamp set fits perfectly inside the circles and tags from the new "Bags and Tags Creator". 

 I stamped the tree using Versamark ink and then heat set it with some sparkly powder. The fence is stamped in black and then colored using alcohol markers. I used the coordinating "Frightening Friends" Confetti Cuts to die cut everything.

And....because I hadn't used Mr. Devil, yet...I decided to make a card. I also wanted to try out the striped circle from the "Bags and Tags Creator" as well. I thought it could make a fun design detail paired with the "trick or treat" sentiment from "Boo Yea". When I heat embossed it, it started to bubble and I almost threw it away, but in the end, I kept it thinking it had a spooky detail that would add to the overall design.

Let me just tell you, if you are pressed for time, the ghost is the perfect choice...stamp in black, die cut and you're done! LOL! The Frankensteinm fence, and Devil are colored using alcohol markers. I loved how the spooky tree looked embossed on the other two projects, so I did it again on the card.

I added a few sequins here and there for some sparkle and shine! Join me again tomorrow for Day 2 of the Countdown to Confetti! There are so many fun new things you won't want to miss it! Thanks for fluttering by!
