12 Weeks of Halloween 2020 | Week 6

Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Karen Robinson | 12 Weeks of Halloween 2020 – Week 6

Hi everyone 🖐 I have the sixth project in this year’s 12 Weeks of Halloween series to share with you today which is Trick or Treat tote that will hold lots & lots & lots of goodies 🍬🍭🍫😋

These totes measure 3.25″W x 1.25″D x 3.75″H and use a 9.5″ x 5″ piece of cardstock for the base, plus two 3/8″ x 7″ strips for the handles. I used the Celebration Tidings stamp set to decorate the front and back of my tote and the Playful Alphabet Dies to create a silly sentiment for the front.

I added all the decoration to my bag (except the stars) before I assembled it as it is much easier to do this while it’s flat.  I stapled the handles in place for extra security and covered the staple with a glittery star (from a retired punch), to cover them up.

Here’s the How To:

Cardstock: 9.5″ x 5″ (bag base)
3/8″ x 7″ (x2 handles)

• Score @ 1.25″, 4.5″, 5.75″ & 9″ (on 9.5″ side)
• Score @ 5/8″ & 5-1/8″ (3-1/4″ down to form gussets)
• Turn 90°
• Score @ 1.25″
• Join partial scores with bottom score line to create gussets
• Stamp front & back panels of bag
• Fold & burnish score lines
• Remove small tab, trim along bottom and trim tabs
• Apply adhesive
• Add other decoration as desired
• Assemble bag
• Adhere handles & cover joins if needed with embellishments

I can’t believe we’re at the halfway mark already, this series is going so fast this year. I really like how these little totes turned out and plan to send them to school filled with goodies for the teachers, I hope they like them too 😁

Cheers,
Karen
