OCL Sweet Tooth Terrors Sneak Peek~


It's time for a new round of fantastic Holiday stamps from Our Craft Lounge and the introduction of the Our Craft Lounge Blog. Starting today through Wednesday, 10 brand new sets will be "sneak peeked" each day. On Thursday, August 6th, please join me for a Blog Hop and a Blog Candy Give-Away opportunity!

I've used the new Sweet Tooth Terrors set and made a little glassine treat bag filled with candy corn. Not the easiest candy to find around here in Aug - ask Jay - who was my runner Sunday morning before we left for a soccer game in Del Mar. He finally found it at CVS after visiting several stores. I *almost* had to switch gears!

I love this little monster image hoarding all his candy corn. I've colored him in with Copic Markers and matted the image on a Nestabilities Petite Scallop Circle black mat. A little Glossy Accents on 5 of the candy corn gives it a bit of unexpected shine. The tag, which was banner cut with a square punch, says:
Trick or Treat!
Gimme somethin good to eat

After filling the bag (snackin' on a few) with candy corn, I folded the top down and wrapped a length of wide orange stitched ribbon around the bag. The ribbon is secured together at the top with knotted and raveled cording. Embroidery floss attaches the tag and glue dots attach the scalloped image.

How fun would a basket filled with Sweet Tooth Terrors candy bags be at Halloween!
