Reverse Confetti Halloween Sweets

I love paper crafting. It's no secret, obviously. I know I make a ton of cards, but one of my favorite things about this obsession  hobby is making cute and quick little treats for any occasion. All you need is a cello bag and some paper and stamps. 




I pulled out the adorable Halloween sets from Reverse Confetti, Spooky Cuties and Spooky Sentiments to make a trio of tags for my yummy fall M&M treat bags. Making something crafty for candy was my excuse to buy some chocolate so early. See, here in our house, I can't buy Halloween candy early......we eat it! haha.


To get started, I used a few dies I had on hand to create my base for each of the tag. They are all similar, but I used different arrangements of the die cuts and colors. This makes for quick assembly. 
The first one shows off the fabulous larger sentiment. I wanted it to take center stage. I then stamped the three-part jack 'o lantern in orange, black and fuse green ink.

 A bit of fussy cutting (so easy with these stamps. They are large enough and the images are bold enough that cutting them out takes no time at all.) and I used a foam dimensional to pop him up. I also added a row of purple dots for a bit more interest. Love those Whole Lotta Dots


For the next one, I cleaned off my polka dot border stamp and inked it up again, but this time in the Fuse green ink. I stamped the full white circle with it. Then I stamped the Spooky Sentiment right over top with dark grey ink. I spied some washi tape on my desk, so I wrapped a piece of that around the bottom of the circle. The Boots were stamped in black, cut out and yep, popped up with a dimensional. 


This one is my favorite. I used three of the images from Spooky Cuties (bat border, fence, and ghost) along with the trick or treat sentiment. The ghost was a last minute addition. I popped him up with some foam dimensionals. 


Here's a closer look at the stamp sets I used. 









Here's the full trio again. I'm excited to have these already to go in my stash for the boys. I think I'll tuck them in their lunch boxes on Halloween. Tricky part now is to hide them, so they don't find them. 


Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great Hump Day!
