Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up Vampire Candy Bag

Treat Bags are One of My Favorite Quick Crafts

I love to keep these medium cellophane bags on hand.  These are by Stampin’ Up.  Decorating them can be as simple or elaborate as you would like.  Basically, all you have to do is fill your bag with something.  Next,  you fold a piece of paper over the top of the bag and staple it.  A monkey could do this.  Really.  I mean I was busy eating a banana and swinging from tree to tree when I had to come in and make this, so I should know.

That’s my Red Cricut Expression.

A lot of things went into making this little bag of goodies.  I used the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge to create the vampire, but his face was stamped using Stampin Up ink, a clear acrylic block and the Monsters & More 3/4″ stamp set from Peachy Keen stamps.  I used a white Signo pen to color in the vampire’s teeth and to add some eyeballs.  The printed candy paper came from Michael’s and is by K&Co.  The striped purple background paper is from Stampin Up.  Can you tell I love their stuff?  The candy corn taffy is from WalMart.

That’s not just any stapler!  That’s the Tiny Attacher.  I LOVE IT!  I bought that thing about 10 months ago and have enjoyed using it more than I thought I would.  It has very small staples which are perfect when you want to hide them or at least not make them the focus of your project.  Here’s a link to a post I wrote comparing the Tiny Attacher with a regular stapler.

Because the staples are so small they are easy to hide.  I usually cover both the front and the back of the bag where the staples are.  I like to do that to give it a more finished look, but also because I don’t want anyone to scratch themselves with a staple.

ALL DONE!

I cut the vampire at 3 1/2″.  There are several layers to the paper dolls, so you might not want to create them when you’re in a rush! 😉 I used my ATG gun to tape the vampire to some leftover pieces of paper I had and then I taped that whole thing to the bag topper.

Here are some links to other gift bags I’ve made.

Here’s a treat bag for bath fizz bombs (see the 2 bags at the post end too).

Here’s a treat bag I made for cookies.

Here’s a Spongebob Treat bag I made.

I noticed those bubbled areas AFTER the photo. They’re fixed now. 😉 You know how much I love these craft pumpkins, right?  It’s ridiculous.  I could start a big fake pumpkin patch around here.  If I did, I wonder if Linus would bring his blanket and hang out?  Linus and I could probably be good…
