Is there nothing better than a finished project? Oh my goodness, I feel so good about getting these little stuffed envelopes done, I can't even tell you!
I bought 5 1/2x5 1/2 white envelopes at Hobby Lobby last week, 1/2 off :), and trimmed a piece of patterned Halloween paper to 1 1/4 x 5 1/2" and adhered it right to the front of the envelope.
I trimmed out circles with my Cricut at 2" and ran them through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. Then I layered on a Kraft flag and a cute Halloween brad. The brads I picked up at Hobby Lobby also, 40% off :)
I stuffed the bags with two mini Kit Kats each and punched a hole in the corner.
Then I sealed the envelopes and tied the tags on with black and orange tulle. Sidenote here, I've decided I LOVE black tulle! :)
What projects have you guys finished up lately? Are you working on anything fun? I hope you enjoy your Wednesday. It's going to be chilly here so Mike is fixing soup for dinner :) I'm headed up to the school to help out with Abie's fall party preparations. Thanks for coming by today and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteAJ's friends are coming to stay tomorrow. They're sleeping in the living room/scrap room/dining room (well, its the only other room besides our bedroom in our apartment!) so no crafting for me this weekend. I had to put away my desk/folding table, otherwise they'd have no where to put their stuff!
So, so cute, Becky! :)
ReplyDeleteI am working on a little sign for our laundry room.
These are adorable! What a great idea. Love all the variations. I have done nothing crafty this week. It's all crammed into the weekend. But I have been online looking at fun ideas so now I'll have some good inspiration to get my craft on this weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome project Becky, these are so cool. Knowing there is chocolate in them doesn't hurt either ;)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find 6x6 or 5.5x5.5 sized envelopes. I have to buy the big ones and then cut them down.
