GREAT HALLOWEEN TREAT POUCH MADE WITH ENVELOPES

Oh, this is such a great project by Linda Kincaid. She took SU! envelopes and inked them with a baby wipe and wheel technique and made this wonderful envelope treat bag. This was really well-enjoyed by the ladies at the Halloween party stamp class at Hsiao-hui's home. Linda used the wheel Haunting and the stamp set House of Haunts. Very very clever.
The envelope is inked and stamped first, then Linda punched the stars with the SU! small star punch. She also used punches on the front - modern label, small and large stars, 3/4 circle punch. Did you catch that moon made of crumpled vellum and punched out on the front?

Linda is seen here demonstrating to the ladies how this treat pouch is assembled.
These supplies look so yummy packaged in this basket. Inside each envelope treat pouch Linda
placed a clear bag of candy corn. That is my favorite Halloween candy. These make fun gifts for the teachers, friends, coworkers, and for your Halloween basket for the trick or treaters.
There were 21 people in attendance for the Halloween Party so that was a lot of candy Linda packaged.
First you ink up your baby wipes with your three colors and then with brayer ink the envelope - going over it a few times to get that vibrant color you see in the sample above. It belongs to Cathy Weir who is shown here inking up the wheel. This is a great technique that Linda taught us.
Young is doing the same on her wheel. This allows for a single image from the wheel to be stamped.
Next Young is showing how you just roll the wheel with the image that is stamped onto your brayered envelope. So very cool.
Another close up of the technique - this time by Dawn.
We actually have Dawn going through the steps. I am glad I caught this in a few steps. Do you see how she is rolling the wheel without the handle? You can do either, but Linda said that doing it by hand was a little more accurate in the placement.
and Voila! Dawn, wheeled an even better more vibrant image than I did in the sample. Hers is perfectly black! That trick or treater is scary!
And lastly, we have Young and Chris assembling their trick or treat pouches. Dawn had a great idea and said that this was so much fun that you could do these in green and red for Christmas and place holiday candy or treats inside. I thought you could also make them in different colors too - maybe in shades of red and pink and make valentine treats.

Thanks again Linda Kincaid for a fabulous project!
