This little bag was really fun to make as it has the Sweet Treats Holder inside the bag as an added bonus! The video today shows you how to make the Sweet Treat holder reusable, by making a little "garage door" in the back so the candies can come out easily without having to rip the paper. Which also means, if you get a craving, you can take a little snack and refill it later:)
For this bag I used Elegant Eggplant CS (12 x 6) for the bag in the Fancy Box die for the Big Shot. Then I ran a small piece of the DSP, Night and Day through the Big Shot to get the same scalloped top on the paper as I have on the bag. I used the 1 3/4 inch circle punch to make the hole for the Sweet Treats cup and filled it with the Halloween M&Ms. Check out the video for full instructions! (If you're in my template club meeting on Thursday, this is one of our projects:)

Fantastic idea with the sweet treat cup on the front of the bag. Looks marvelous! Where did you find those M&M's?

Thanks for figuring out how to do this and sharing with us. I too don't want someone to rip my card/project up to get the candy. Also I wanted to comment on your blog banner --- I love what you did with the pumpkins! You are forcing me to invest in My Digital Studio.

What a sweet little bag! I like the idea of using the trap door; when I used the sweet treat containers you had to rip the card open from the back -- great idea!

Fabulous idea Heather and so adorable.

My doors measure 2 1/4 x 2 1/2. I just made it so it was 1/4 of an inch bigger than the opening. On a card, it would be nice to have a bit more "room to play" (ie. a bit bigger) Have a great day!

Thanks for the tutorial. I love the idea of a slider door. I had a customer tell me when we made the treat bag, she didn't like the idea of someone tearing up her card to get the candy out. This is a great idea.
I didn't get the dimensions of the slider door. I have 2 1/4 by ?.
Thanks for doing this.
