This month’s theme is 'Favourite DSP'
My favourite patterned paper changes quite often as we are spoilt for so much choice with ranges in both the Annual and Mini Stampin' Up! catalogues.
Right now my favourite patterned paper is the Magic in this Night DSP. I've been using it so much in the run up to Halloween and I can't wait to create non Halloween projects with it too.
I've got 3 more Halloween projects featuring this DSP to share with you between now and 31st October!
The project I'm sharing today are these super cute Halloween Treat Bags. I created this unique shaped treat bag over 3 years ago now and the original project is still my most popular blog post and most viewed video. Recently someone left a comment on YouTube asking for a larger size - challenge accepted, here it is!
I've filmed a video so you can see exactly how I made them. If you don't have time to watch it now, you could add it to your playlist on YouTube as I promise you, they are such a quick make and you'll find lot's of uses for them as they are suitable for all occasions!
I decided to use the various black patterned paper from the Magic in this Night DSP and pair them with elements created with neon like colours - I've used Magenta Madness, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade and Pumpkin Pie (only seen in the video)
I've also added Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and Black Glitter Paper to give it a bit of sparkle.
Are you wondering where I got the matching twine from? Watch my video to find out!

If you would like to make a smaller version of this Treat Bag, I have another tutorial here.
Coming up on my blog, I have a Christmas Treat Bag to show you, slightly larger than this one. So you don't miss it, click here to sign up receive my blog posts by email.
If you have the time, it would be lovely if you could leave us comments to let us know you've stopped by! I'd love to know where you are from and your favourite DSP - current or retired.
