GRATEFUL TREAT BAG

Oh, I'm diggin' these new Chevron Treat Bags! They are made well, stronger than I expected, the printed chevrons are gorgeous and the bags are the perfect size for any treat or small gift.  I used it here to create a quick 'goodie bag' for Thanksgiving desserts.  I'm thinkin' apple slices! 

Tip:  You may notice that the acorn top is slightly darker than the bottom.  Ink up the acorn then stamp off a layer of the ink on scratch paper.  Re ink only the top portion by carefully lining it up on your ink pad and stamp.  This gives you a perfect two-tone look.

Supplies:
  •  Stamp Set: Truly Grateful #131730 wood, #131733 clear
  • Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry
  • Ink Pads: Early Espresso, Crushed Curry
  • Big Shot: Oval Collections Framelits #129381, Sweet Button Embosslit #121813
  • Punch: 1 3/8" Circle Punch
  • Ribbon: Burlap 1 1/4" #132140; Bakers Twine (this is Crushed Curry, compliments of Stampin' Up! from convention but Early Espresso would be great)
  • Accessories: Dimensionals, Glue Dots, SNAIL Adhesive
