The previous In Color House of Haunts post, the same stamp set and colors were used and was the inspiration for this simple, but cute treat bag.
First, cut a piece of Night & Day designer series paper (here black with white polka dots) 4 inches by 12. Then score at the 5" and 7" mark and fold (making a triangle-type of shape). Since this is designer series paper and thinner than the regular cardstock, I also cut a piece of 2×4 piece of Bermuda Bay paper at the bottom for better support.
For the front panel, I stamped the haunted house image and tree branches in Basic Black ink then used sponges to color "the sky" with Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay. Then matted the paper on a piece of Bermuda Bay paper. Then sponged the corners of the Bermuda Bay paper with black in as well. Adhere the front panel to the bag front using SNAIL Adhesive.
Fill a small cello bag with Kisses or desired candy or snack.
Lastly, create the desired greeting with black ink, Whisper White and Bermuda Bay cardstock. Then align the greeting, the bag, and the paper and hold close while punching a hole. You can use the Crop-a-dile to create a large hole or a handheld punch if creating a small hole. Thread the ribbon through them all and tie a bow.

Other Thoughts:
- Use the Brayer Tool instead of Sponging.
- Use Black Embossing as in the In Color House of Haunts card.
- Use a brad or Build-a-Brad instead of ribbon to hold the bag shut.
- To make the project even simpler, don’t do any sponging, instead stamp the house image in Rich Razzleberry and the greeting in Bermuda Bay (for example). Eliminate all sponging and this project is a cinch, fast, and can be duplicated quickly to prepare many treat bags for your upcoming Halloween visitors.
