SSS "Sending Cheer" Blog Hop Day 2

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!!

Today I am popping in with a project that I created for Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp! Blog Hop for the "Sending Cheer" release. You should have come here from Rosemary Dennis. I happen to be the last person on the hop but if you get lost, hop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Blog. I also have the COMPLETE list for today's hop below.

Instead of a card, I wanted to create a little treat bag using the Happy Howloween stamp set.

I started off by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the SSS Shimmering Star embossing folder. I then used the SSS Rounded Tags Die to cut two tags out of my embossed panel.

I creased a small piece of black cardstock and adhered it to the bottom to "fold" the two tags together. I used silver Stickles and my fingers to spread sparkle over the top of the embossed stars.

When the sparkles were dry, I adhered a piece of old dictionary paper that I covered in Vintage Photo Distress Ink to both sides. I added a "sky" circle that was created using Distress Ink and Distress Mica Spray.

I then added the Happy Howloween images to both sides. I am one of those people that feels that both sides of a treat bag should be decorated!!! 

I put the treat inside a little black and white bag and punched a hole in it. I added it to inside of the tags and tied it all together with a ribbon. I added a tag to the front that I stamped a sentiment from the Happy Howloween stamp set. I LOVE how this came out!!!
