Butterfinger Halloween Treat Bags with Authentique Bewitched Collection

Hello Friends! With Halloween peeping round the corner, I thought it would be fun to make these Butterfinger Halloween Treat Bags with the Halloween Ribbon Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon Club. These are a quick and easy make, and guaranteed to make your little ghosts and goblins grin with ghoulish delight. Before we take a look at the bags, here’s a look at the fabulous ribbons I had to work with for this month’s hop.

I love these colorful, whimsical ribbons, don’t you? They are just the right accent for these Butterfinger Halloween Treat Bags.

I made 6 treat bags in all. The base of each bag is a Chevron Little Bitty Bag. It was such fun to mix and match the ribbons from the Halloween Ribbon Club Assortment.

Each Butterfinger Halloween Treat Bag holds a cute little Halloween Tag.

The papers are from Graphic 45’s Happy Haunting and Kraft Reflections. (Both of these are retired collections.) You can use any Halloween collection to make these, though.

Tuck these cute vintage images behind the belly band, toss in a Fun Sized Butterfinger candy bar, and you have the cutest little Halloween Treat Bags ever! I think these would make spooktacular Halloween Party invitations or place cards.

Happy Haunting Halloween Banner with Pretty Petaloo Flowers

Hello, Friends! I got the urge to create a little Halloween banner the other day, and as I was rummaging through my stash of autumn goodies, I found an oldie but a goodie from Graphic 45: Happy Haunting! I’ve always loved the sweet vintage images and traditional color palette of this collection. It’s truly too cute to spook! Before you could say BOO, I was at work, cutting, sewing, spritzing, and gluing this little Happy Haunting Halloween Banner.

Now while I love making banners, photographing them is another matter entirely! But I finally figured out that the little corner cabinet our son made me for Mother’s Day is also a great photo booth!

Creating Custom Petaloo flowers with Tattered Angels Mist

I wanted to totally load up this banner with pretty ribbons and fabulous orange flowers, but I only had two peach posies in my stash. What to do? I quickly realized I could custom color them with Peach Delight and Jack-o-Lantern Glimmer Mist. Problem solved!

Even though these were not DIY flowers, I found that they took the mists very well, and kept their shapes, too. I spritzed the large peach Botanica bloom with Jack-o-Lantern and then spattered it with the darker Peach Delight. I also spattered the cream cherry blossom on the left. The Mini Canvas Sunflower originally had ivory petals, but not any more! And I love the way the Fall Mix Burlap leaves anchor the flower clusters.
