A Happy HALL-O-WEEN Twig Tree/Treat Bags

The Seasons of Fall brings crafting adventures! I was inspired to create some Halloween Twigs!
So,  I was on a hunt forTWIGS!  
 A long story short, I found some at my neighbors house. Perfect size, Perfect Height, Perfect in every way! 
 These beautiful twigs were waiting for the garbage! My 10 year old son helped me haul them home.  My kids don't ask questions anymore.  They know it will turn into something!


Add two cans of spray paint
One large sculptured Vase or container
Black Tulle
I love decorating with Tulle, especially BLACK  for HALLOWEEN!

Add some Halloween Party Bags!
I made my treat bags.
Treat Bags are lined, reversible, and easy to make!
stay tuned!
What I LOVE  about these Twigs....
You can transform them into Fall Harvest and Christmas Decor!
You can find them  in stores everywhere.
You can easily make them for the price of black spray paint.


Enjoy!
Celebrate the Season!

Cuttlebug Winter Wonderland - Burgundy Christmas Baubles



Hello and welcome :-)

This is another scheduled post whilst I have no access to my computer for 2 weeks :-(   Hopefully, I will get a few extra cards done during that time.

Anyway, back to my card:  I did a similar one a couple of weeks ago which was white (see here) and this is the burgundy version.  Not much to explain - so quick and easy.  All I did was round the corners with a corner punch and add the ribbon.  The ribbon was done in 2 separate elements and the bow was made with my Bow Easy (I LOVE my Bow Easy!!).  The star was punched and I added some gold glitter.  Note to self:  add glitter to star BEFORE gluing to card so you don't spend an hour getting all the gold glitter out of the ribbon and the embossed parts of the card - duhh!! 

This embossing folder is part of a Cuttlebug set called "Winter Wonderland" and is available here at Fat Cat's Card Corner in Queensland.

Back in a few days with another scheduled post!

Jocelyn


Card Recipe:  

Accessories:
 
Cuttlebug, Baubles embossing folder from Winter Wonderland set, Carl CP-1 Star punch, fine gold glitter, Art Institute Designer dries clear adhesive (for glitter), Bow Easy, ribbon, Stampin' Up corner punch, Cardstock: burgundy, gold
