The kids and I are going to my friend Amber's house with my friend Lyndsey and her kids for a Halloween party. We're going to have snacks, games and maybe a craft. I made goodie bags for the kids and I'm really excited about how they turned out. Here's my tutorial:
I got the idea to make little pumpkins from a workshop I went to at Lisa's. For the pumpkins we made there we used Stampin Up!'s wide oval punch. I didn't want my pumpkins that big and I don't have any oval punches so I used my Cricut and cut out a bunch of 1 inch ovals out of orange card stock. I took three and layered them to give the pumpkin look. Can you tell? I have one in the middle and then used adhesive to adhere one on each side. After they were done I took an orange marker and outlined the edges...you'll be able to see that better in another picture.
Then I took a piece of white card stock, 4 inches by 3 1/4 inches, and scored it at 2 inches.
I attached my pumpkin (see the outlines I did?) and drew on a stem with a green marker. Then I used a stamp that I borrowed from my friend Tonya (from a set I plan on ordering soon, Teeny Tiny Wishes) and stamped Happy Halloween.
I put a fun size bag of candy inside a baggie (one of those jewelry baggies) and adhered the card stock to the bag and ta da...a treat bag. I'm not a huge fan of all of the white space, but it's simple and cute.What do you think? Did you make goodie bags?

Kelli! I love it- you take the time to do such cute stuff, rather than quickly make a bag like I would! Good for you!

That is very cute, and creative. Have fun at your party.
I love that idea!! Thanks!
So cute! I love all your creative ideas.
Super cute! I love the three ovals together -- it makes such a great pumpkin. Thanks for sharing your idea!
What a good idea - I think they look adorable!

Those goody bags are so cute! I love the pumpkins....who knew you could make something so cute with just an oval punch!
Sick! You're SO crafty. I did do goodie bags for trick or treaters and put Bible verses inside with candy. Yours are much cuter though. Mine are Ziplocks. =)
You're tagged on my blog. Can't wait to hear what you have to say!
Oh, they turned out very cute!
Goodie bags yes, but didn't make them, I just stuck with the store bought stuff!
Love it. I am amazed at all the cute things you do for parties. I think this one is another hit!
Have a great day!
Super cute and doable!
This IS super cute! Making a mental note... :)
