Let's Have Some Candy Corn Fun. Check out these cute treat holders for your favorite candy corn lovers.

 

It's CANDY CORN SEASON!  And this girl is pretty happy about it.  I know opinions are strong regarding these cute little candies but I'm on the YUM side.  When designing these projects, I wanted to go with a fall theme instead of Halloween.  That way you can make them through the entire season.  Let's start with adorable PLAID GUSSETED BAG.  This beautiful PLAID TIDINGS DSP comes in 6in by 6in pieces and that's exactly what you need to make the bag.  On the first 6in side, score at 1-1/4in, 1-5/8in, 2in, 4in, 4-3/8in and 4-3/4in.  Turn the paper 90 degrees and score the paper at 3/4in from both ends.

I used the pumpkin image from the GATHER TOGETHER bundle, stamped it with MEMENTO BLACK INK and colored it in with my PUMPKIN PIE and OLD OLIVE BLENDS.

For the window on the front of the bag, I used one of the rectangular dies from the HIPPO HAPPINESS BUNDLE.  I cut a piece of WINDOW SHEET at 2-3/4in by 4in and adhered it inside the bag with GLUE DOTS.  I used the smallest rectangle for the tag.

For the sentiment, I used the BANNER YEAR BUNDLE.  This set is a great one to have on hand for all those special occasions. The BANNER PUNCH makes cutting the tails of your banners for cards and projects very easy.

Finally, I used the BRAIDED LINEN THREAD to tie up my pouch after punching two holes with my 1/8in CIRCLE PUNCH.  Below is a link that shows how the gusseted bag come together.

My second project with the Matchbook Style Candy Corn Treat Holder.  I used many of the same products as I did with the gusseted bag.  I started with a piece of PUMPKIN PIE CARD STOCK cut at 3in by 6-7/8in.  Score on the LONG SIDE at 5/8in, 3-5/8in and 4-1/8 in.  I used a piece of the PLAID TIDINGS DSP cut at 2-1/2in by 2in for the front panel and a strip cut at 3-8in by 3in to cover the staple.  I used the pumpkins image and the leaf die cut from the GATHER TOGETHER BUNDLE as well as the sentiment.  I used an stitched oval from the STITCHED SHAPES DIES for the focal point on the front.  A cute little bow made with the BRAIDED LINEN TRIM finished off the project.  I used individually wrapped candy corn treat packs that I found at my local grocery store.  Below is a video tutorial showing how this project comes together.
