As part of their digital image collection debut today, MFT released a digi image "kit," designed specifically to make an adorable Halloween treat for friends.
Have you heard of boo baskets? It's kind of like a secret Santa. You get together a collection of treats, stuff them in a cute box, bag or tin, include a greeting and some signs, and leave it on a friend's doorstep. Then, there are instructions telling them to do the same to another friend. So FUN!
For my boo basket, I decided to pull out the fabric again and make up a tiny little treat bag. The bag really is TINY, so I had to shrink my digi image to fit properly. That's one of the great things about digi stamps. You can print them whatever size you need them to be! I printed out my digi image on fabric (printing on fabric instructions can be found HERE: Forums at Splitcoaststampers) and also printed out some MFT digi paper on fabric at the same time. Then I put the bag together!
I originally colored on my fabric with colored pencils, but I decided I wanted it a little more vibrant. So, I went over the colors lightly with copic markers. You have to be VERY careful with copics on fabric, especially when the image is SO small.
Next, I printed out the greeting, the instructions and the "You've been BOOed" sentiment on textured cream cardstock and put together the paper portions of the gift. The tag is meant to hang on the outside of the recipient's front door, so that friends and neighbors know who has already been BOOed! I mounted the instructions on the back of the greetings card, so they can be added back in the bag and passed on to the next recipient.
This is a pic of the set all together. Since the set had a vintage-y feel, I decided to stick with old-school treats like candy corn, caramels and gingersnaps. The modern brightly-packaged candy just wouldn't have looked right!
