Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks - Bag It & Tag It - Too Cute to Spook! 8-)

Hi All! Today I'm back to share TE's Birthday Bash Continues, Whoo Hoo!! And I have more September Sneak Peeks too! 8-) And just in case you didn't get a chance to stop by yesterday, All of the new products will be available for purchase on Thursday, September 5th at 8 am PST. You'll find it ALL in the New Department at the Taylored Expressions StoreYay!! 8-)

***Today's Party Game is i-Spy! So make sure to stop by Taylors Blog to get all the fun details for a chance to win a TE Gift Certificate!...8-) 
Well, today I am Super Thrilled to share a couple more Fun Sneak Peek projects and the first one features the Brand New Bag It &Tag It set, A Super Fun Set designed Specifically with the creation of fun Halloween treat holders, tags and cards in mind! Whoo Hoo!! So I know you are going to LOVE playing with this set as much as I have... 8-)
Well for my Project today, I thought I'd make up a batch of Fun Halloween Matchbook treat holders! 8-)  I started off by Stamping my Bag It & Tag It images onto TE's Choice Snow White CS with Memento Tuxedo Black and Embossed with Black EP.  I added my Spooky Clouds with Dusty Concord Distress Ink, my TE Cloud Border Die Template and a small stippling brush.
 
I carefully colored up the rest with my Trusty Copics lol, (**Note to self.. next time emboss with clear on top of the black ink... Coloring images embossed with Black EP can smear if you aren't careful, lol..).  I matted them up and popped them up with a bit of foam tape. 
My Mats & BG Layers were created with my Classic Circles Nesties sets, TE's Brand New Blommin' Stacklets 1 Dies & TE's Halloween Project Pantry Kit featuring Bazzill CS's, some Fun Coordinating Ribbons and Doodlebug's Halloween Parade 6x6 collection. For my Matchbook's dimensions, I started off with a piece of CS that measured 8 1/2" x 3". Then scored at 3/4" and again at 4 3/4" & Decorated... I stapled my 3/4" panel near the bottom, so the longer Matchbook flap would be held in place securely and could be opened and closed easily. Lastly, I slid in my Fun size bag of M&M's and attached it at the top with a bit of sticky tape.... 8-)

Next up I am featuring the Adorable New Too Cute to Spook stamp set along with the Brand New Spider Web Cutting Plate & the previously released Graphic Greetings Halloween Stamp too. They just all seemed to go together Sooo Perfectly lol...8-) And I will definitely be doing this combination again to create more Fun Halloween cards like this one for friends & Family this year... 8-) 
I just Love how this Super Cute Halloween card turned out! 8-) And believe it or not, it all came together pretty quickly too, even though there was coloring involved! lol  I don't know if you are anything like me, but I can actually spend 
hours coloring up a single image, lol ;-)
I stamped my Too Cute To Spook Mummy with Memento Tuxedo Black onto TE's Choice Snow White CS and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I fussy cut him out and popped him up with a bit of foam tape, along with my Graphic Greetings Halloween panel stamped with Colorbox Frost White ink, embossed with White EP & cut out with the help of the Brand New Label Stacklets 6 Dies. My Mats and BG Layers were created with TE's Choice Kraft CS, the Brand New Spider Web Cutting Plate and TE's New Halloween Project Pantry Kit featuring Bazzill CS's, & Doodlebug's Halloween Parade 6x6 collection too! I also added some spooky shading with a touch of Memento Tuxedo Black on all my Kraft edges just for fun...8-)
