			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I have a really cute and fun project showing you how to dress up a plain old lunch sack into an adorable Halloween treat bag.  I have added some yummy popcorn pumpkins that I made with marshmellows, butter, peanuts and candy corn.  Yum Yum!</p>
<p>For this project I used the following supplies</p>
<ul>
<li>lunch sack 10 1/2 x 5 1/4 x 3 1/4</li>
<li>clothespins</li>
<li><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVkaWdpY2hpY2suY29tL3Nob3AvcHJvZHVjdC5waHA/cHJvZHVjdGlkPTIwNjc3JmFtcDtjYXQ9MCZhbXA7cGFnZT0x">Brew HA HA</a> digital kit by Jan Hosford</li>
<li>double sided tape</li>
<li>glue</li>
<li>ruler</li>
<li>pencil</li>
<li>black Stazon ink</li>
<li>ribbon</li>
<li>sponge</li>
<li>transparency sheet</li>
<li>Sizzix Big Kick</li>
<li>Nestabilities scallop rectangles</li>
<li>7 x 5 1/4 cardstock</li>
<li>sewing</li>
<li>Stampin&#8217; Up! stamp set Web Wishes</li>
<li>Studio G clear stamp set</li>
<li>chipboard</li>
<li>rhinestones</li>
<li>HP Premium Presentation Paper</li>
</ul>
<p>I first measured my sack and created specific sizes to fit it on the front and flap of the sack.  I printed them out on HP Premium Presentation Paper and cut them out.  To create a window in the sack I used my Sizzix and the scalloped rectangle nestability.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4145" title="htb2" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/htb2-300x200.jpg" alt="htb2" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Then I cut a rectangle in the lunch sack slightly larger than the black star paper.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVoeWJyaWRjaGljay5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMDkvMDkvaHRiMy5qcGc="><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4146" title="htb3" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/htb3-300x200.jpg" alt="htb3" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Now cut out a piece of transparency sheet slightly larger than the rectangle in the lunch sack.  Use Stazon ink to stamp image on transparency and apply double sided tape on to the transparency and tape to inside of bag.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVoeWJyaWRjaGljay5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMDkvMDkvaHRiNC5qcGc="><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4147" title="htb4" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/htb4-300x200.jpg" alt="htb4" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Sponge edges of remaining paper with ink.  Fold long strip of paper, sew and glue to sack.  Cut out chipboard and glue paper.  Stamp image on smaller paper and glue to chipboard.  Trace the shape of the clothespin on wrong side of paper and cut out, stamp and glue to clothespin.  Add ribbon to top of clothespin.  Score flap of sack at 1 inch and 2 inches.  Then glue papers to flap and add rhinestones and clothespin to top of sack.</p>
<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVoeWJyaWRjaGljay5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMDkvMDkvaHRiNS5qcGc="><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4148" title="htb5" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/htb5-300x200.jpg" alt="htb5" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>To make a platform for your treats in the sack score a 7 x 5 1/4 piece  of card stock at 1 inch on all sides. Slit on the score lines on both sides and glue according to the pictures below.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Insert to inside of your treat bag and add some yummy goodies!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t you just love these cute little paint pails! These paint pails are just perfect little containers to put your favorite Christmas goodies in to give to family and friends.  You can put homemade goodies or just some store bought candy and dress it up a bit.</p>
<p>Supplies</p>
<ul>
<li>Kelley Mickus digital kit <strong><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVkaWdpY2hpY2suY29tL3Nob3AvcHJvZHVjdC5waHA/cHJvZHVjdGlkPTIwMTg1JiMwMzg7Y2F0PTAmIzAzODtwYWdlPTE=">Click</a></strong></li>
<li>clear paint pail</li>
<li>3/4&#8243; circle, 1 3/8&#8243; circle, scallop, slot SU! punches and various snowflake punches</li>
<li>Sizzix SU! Topnote and Circle, Scallop #2 dies</li>
<li>Coluzzle</li>
<li>rectangle nestibilities</li>
<li>Real Red and Old Olive SU! ink</li>
<li>Real Red and Old Olive SU! CS</li>
<li>Ribbon and Rhinestones</li>
<li>glue dots and glue sticks</li>
<li>Loads of Love SU! stamp</li>
<li>Studio g clear stamp</li>
</ul>
<p>First, print out your favorite digital paper and measure your pail.  For my pail it was just over 12&#8243; around and 4 3/4&#8243; high.  Since I can only print out 8.5&#8243; x 11 paper I had to paper piece my pail.  Here&#8217;s an example of my first piece of paper.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/pail1.jpg" alt="pail1" title="pail1" width="600" height="267" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3260" /></p>
<p>You will need to cut two holes for your handle, so hold your cut paper up to your pail and use a paper piercer to mark the center of your circle. Then use your 3/4&#8243; circle punch to punch your circles and cut a small slit in the top of the circle.  I also used my Topnote Die and rectangle nestibilities to cut out the center for a see through window and the slotted punch to punch holes in the left and right side of the Topnote to run a ribbon through .  Now glue this section onto your pail.  Once glued, measure the next section.  I measure at the top and bottom because everything isn&#8217;t always perfectly straight.  Glue this section down.  Now adjust your ribbon.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVoeWJyaWRjaGljay5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMDkvMDcvY2lqMV90aGMuanBn"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3230" title="cij1_thc" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cij1_thc-300x300.jpg" alt="cij1_thc" width="189" height="189" /></a>On my lid I used the Sizziz Circle, Scallops #2 die cut and the coluzzle to cut out my circle. Stamped a sentiment, inked the edges and glue to lid.  Then added a layered punched snowflake with rhinestone and ribbon to the handle.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVoeWJyaWRjaGljay5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMDkvMDcvY2lqMi0xX3RoYzEuanBn"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3233" title="cij2-1_thc1" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cij2-1_thc1-300x225.jpg" alt="cij2-1_thc1" width="178" height="134" /></a>To make the peppermint patties I used Studio g clear stamps and the 1 3/8&#8243; circle and scallop SU! punches.  Glue the circle to the scallop and then to the peppermint patty.</p>
<p>I shredded some red cardstock for the bottom of my pail and added my goodies&#8230; and here&#8217;s my finished Christmas gift!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVoeWJyaWRjaGljay5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMDkvMDcvY2lqMl90aGMuanBn"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3228" title="cij2_thc" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cij2_thc-1024x1024.jpg" alt="cij2_thc" width="530" height="530" /></a></p>

<p>So let&#8217;s get started! First here&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5rZXJpbnN0YW1wcy5jb20vc3RhbXBpbl93aXRoX2tlcmluLzIwMDkvMDMvY3VwY2FrZS10b3Atbm90ZS1ib3gtdGVtcGxhdGUuaHRtbA==">template</a> that we will be using and it is oh-so-easy to make! Thank you, Kerin.  I also will  be using Sugarplum Paperie&#8217;s <a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVkaWdpY2hpY2suY29tL3Nob3AvcHJvZHVjdC5waHA/cHJvZHVjdGlkPTE5NjUzJmFtcDtjYXQ9MCZhbXA7cGFnZT0x">Strawberry Cafe</a> to cover it with.   </p>
<p>When I start a hybrid project I like to measure out how much paper I will need.  For this box we are going to need four 4 x 5 digital papers in two different patterns and I&#8217;m also going to use the strawberries elements from the kit, resize them to two different sizes and print them two times so I can pop one layer.  Here are my examples of what I printed:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-424" title="strawberry-box-example-one" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/strawberry-box-example-one-300x248.jpg" alt="strawberry-box-example-one" width="300" height="248" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-425" title="strawberry-box-example-two" src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/strawberry-box-example-two-300x248.jpg" alt="strawberry-box-example-two" width="300" height="248" /></p>
<p>As you can see, I only printed exactly what I needed to complete my project. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/strawberry-box-example3-150x150.jpg" alt="strawberry-box-example3" title="strawberry-box-example3" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-429" />Now, grab your two pieces of thin cardboard and glue the two different patterned papers to each side, like you see here to the left.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/strawberry-box-example-4-150x150.jpg" alt="strawberry-box-example-4" title="strawberry-box-example-4" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-441" />I used my Sizzix Big Kick with Stampin&#8217; Up! Top Note die cut to make my label shape.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have these supplies I have made a <a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy40c2hhcmVkLmNvbS9maWxlLzk0NDI4MTA3LzFiOTdiNDAvVG9wTm90ZVRlbXBsYXRlLmh0bWw=">template</a> for you (you will just need to cut it out by hand). </p>
<p>Now that we have that done we will start on the box.  Grab your <a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5rZXJpbnN0YW1wcy5jb20vc3RhbXBpbl93aXRoX2tlcmluLzIwMDkvMDMvY3VwY2FrZS10b3Atbm90ZS1ib3gtdGVtcGxhdGUuaHRtbA==">box template</a> and follow the instructions for scoring.  You can use these pictures below to help you finish up your box:</p>
