Thanksgiving Treat Bag/Favor Make n Take

For this weeks Fiskars Link Friday I am going to share with you my Nov Demo that I did at my LSS yesterday. I put it in 2 parts. Be sure to check the post below this one for Part 2.

It was a Make n Take style Demo with a project given to me by Stephanie Hamen at Fiskars. I changed a few things in it however because of the tools I wanted to have them use. Would you like me to add pictures of the steps if I post a project like this?



I used the following tools:


Fiskars 12" portable trimmer cutting and scoring blade

That's Amore squeeze punch medium

Round n Round Squeeze Punch medium

Leaf Border Punch

Stamp Factory,

Fingertip tweezers

Texture plates using the Cuddlebug.

Directions:
1. Cut a piece of cardstock 5" x 5 1/2". Replace cutting blade with scoring blade and score the 5" side in half at 2 1/2".

2.Use Leaf border punch on each edge of cardstock piece you just scored in half.

3. Using the Stamp Factory stamp the word Gratitude on front Rt or Lt bottom above the leaf punched area.

4. Using the Cuddlebug choose Texture Plate of your choice and emboss this same piece we have been working on. HINT: to get a deeper crisper embossed design use a fine Mister and spray lightly the paper on the side you are embossing. Then using the following sandwich run it through the machine. A plate, Texture plate, cardstock right side down, 2 silicone pads, B plate. Another HINT: You can use a piece of Plumbers Gasket in place of the silicone pads. This can be bought at Lowe's in the Plumbing Dept. It is red in color and 6x6 in size. It is very inexpensive costing approx. $1.34 for one.

5. Using the circle squeeze punch punch out 5 circles total using 3 different colors of CS.

6. Using the heart squeeze punch and the eggplant paper punch out 1 heart.

7. Arrange circles across the front of the topper and adhere with Fiskars tape runner.

8. Place a foam dot on the heart punch and adhere that to center circle.

9. Fill treat bag with your choice of candy etc.

10. Adhere topper to the treat bag by folding it over the bag and adhere using the tape runner.


I hope you enjoyed the project!!
