Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

I'm Batty For You!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I created this TREAT BAG for one of my youngest stamping friends, Kelsi.  She is the daughter of my friend Sharon who is a member of my Stampin’ Up!® team.

I started with a black paper sack I had on hand...










I created front and back panels adding a flap to the back panel.

Then a bit of DSP, embellishments and filled with her favorite candies...super easy!
