Not a Card with Nina-Marie: Halloween Treat Bags Reprise

Hello there, friends! It’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you and I have some Halloween treat bags to share with you that feature DIY embellishments! (Editor’s Note: This fun project was originally posted a couple of years ago, but it’s so fun and seasonally appropriate, we wanted to re-share for anyone that has missed it! Please enjoy!)


These adorable characters are all made with our exclusive Nested Banners die set! If you look closely, you’ll notice that the pumpkin, cat, and ghost are shapes from the banner set–proof that even the simplest of dies can create the most-darling of designs!


To further add to the Halloween charm, I paired up items from Tim Holtz’s Spider Web die set, as well as Carta Bella’s Halloween patterned paper and ephemera packs. How cute is the extra detail of twine on each bag???


These cuties are very easy to make and would be PERFECT for upcoming trick-or-treating! Be sure to watch the video below to see all the details!

Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Today I am going to show you how to use our Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Cubes with embossing folders to make brightly colored backgrounds!

The Golden Fern embossing folder used Field, Aegean, Ocean, Surf, and Cadette.

For the Darcy Bouquet color combo, I use monochromatic colors in Galaxy, Twilight, and Morning.

The rainbow background on the Gradient Dot embossing folder features the colors Sherbet, Sunbeam, Sprout, Surf, Royal, and Twilight.
