This is a GREAT Halloween Treat pouch! There is a pocket the same size on the backside.

Start with paper cut 6" X 6". Designer Series Paper will work the best because it folds and flattens well. Score on the black lines. Stampin' Up!'s Diagonal Plate and Simply Scored make this project FAST and accurate!

I used Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper. Fold the sides into the center.

Fold in half with the pockets facing out. No adhesive is necessary. Punch a hole at the top thru both layers at the same time, then tie with ribbon.

I added an optional little Black Cat tag. Add candy or gift card. This is a fast, simple little treat pouch for any holiday: hang on a /Christmas Tree, use as a table favor, or send thru the mail in a Stampin' Up! medium envelope.

It's EASY to add shimmer to your paper creations! Stampin' Up! offers three colors of Shimmer Paint: Champagne, Frost White, and Platinum. SHAKE well. Open and fill a sponge dauber in the LID of the jar. A little paint goes a long way. Rub the dauber lightly over your paper. I looks especially lovely on cardstock that has been run through an embossing folder so it has raised designs.

This leaf is sponged with the Champagne Shimmer Paint. It looks even more impressive in person!

It's time to stock up on all three Shimmer Paints and Daubers for all your special Holiday creations!! Click HERE to purchase.

I've been watching the Olympics and creating! Remember these sweet little fabric flowers I showed you how to make? (see tutorials at right) I made a bunch with Stampin' Up! new Floral District Designer Fabrics for a swap I'm in.

I LOVE the new SILICONE CRAFT SHEET from the Holiday Catalog for all my hot glueing needs. Cooled glue POPS right off like magic!!

The finished product! The fabric flower is definitely the focal point. 3-D flowers are all the RAGE!!

The giant "rick rack" is the Floral District Fabric cut with the Tasteful Trim Die and my ever faithful Big Shot Die Cutting Machine! Check in Monday for another DARLING fabric idea!

This is one of my favorite Big Shot Die Cutting Machine dies, the Petite Pocket Bigz XL Die. I decorated the pocket with Autumn Accents Die leaves. The back has a toggle closure.

LOVE the new Bronze Buttons! They look heavy and bold, but are VERY lightweight for mailing.

I used new products from the Holiday Catalog to create this fall greeting. LOVE the Woodgrain Embossing folder for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine! I added a touch of sponging to pop the raise woodgrain. It's the perfect background for these leaves.

The colorful leaves were cut with Autumn Accents Bigz Die and embossed with three different embossing folder for texture.
