Halloween Treat Bags using Journaling Cards

Posted by Sweet Shoppe Designs under Hybrid

Mari shows us some super fun ways to use journaling cards for holiday treats!

Journaling Cards are a hot new trend at the moment, and a lot of you might be wondering: But, how can I use this wonderful product? Halloween is around the corner and it got me thinking . . . why not do Treat Bags? So this is what I came up with. . . .

3 Different Options Using Basic Craft Supplies

Option 1

Use them as tags. Punch a hole and attach the tag with some string. Add a creepy spider, and you are good to go. I used some glow sticks as a non-candy option.

Option 2

Attach them on front of a glassine bag, add your candy, and use washi tape to close it . . . and don’t forget the creepy spider. Lol.

Option 3

This one is a bit more labor intensive but so cute. Using a brown paper bag, I misted a polka dot pattern onto the bags using a mask. Then I applied some crepe paper onto the top. I made paper flags/banners and pasted the Journaling Cards onto them using dimensional glue dots. I added a misted star and the necessary creepy spider.

More Ideas:

Mat them on a larger piece of paper to wrap around candy bars.
Use them as toppers on treat bags.
Punch two holes to thread a lollipop into the card.

I hope this post has inspired you to think outside the box and see the amazing potential and limitless possibilities digital scrapbooking gives you.

Supplies used:

Oh and P.S.: I think this will work very well for any occasion, not just Halloween . . . just exclude the creepy spider! 😉

Let’s talk about stickers! What are they good for? As my stepdaughter would say, “All of the things!” Adults use them in planners, calendars, and bullet journals. Older teens and young adults emblazon their laptops, iPads, and water bottles with stickers and decals galore. And littles absolutely adore stickers as gifts or rewards for good […]
