All of the Sizzix Sidekick Side Order dies this year have been such fun to create with. They made wonderful additions to other dies, or as you see here, they can make a terrific stand-alone tag.
The Halloween Side Order die set comes with the skeleton, cat, monster, boo, and a small bat texture fade folder. Everything is sized to fit perfectly in the Sizzix Sidekick.
To make these quick Halloween tags, it is simple enough to just use the tag that came with your Sidekick, but I decided to use another set of dies to make these tags and it is one of my favorite sets, the Labels. I truly think it should be one every paper crafter owns.
I chose the ornate tag shape from the Labels set for the base, and the large shield shape to emboss. The shield made for a perfect frame for the Halloween Side Order shapes.
I colored several pieces of Distress Mixed Media Heavystock with Distress Inks for the tags and the shield shapes. Then I cut the various pieces for the Skeleton, Monster and Cat from plain Heavystock and then colored each piece once it was cut.
To finish them off, I punched a small hole in the top center of the ornate tag shape and tied some black twine through it.
These are very quick and fast to make and can be added to treat bags, made into cards, or added to a gift.
More Halloween Treat ideas! In this post I made some gift card bags from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations Gift Card Bag die released earlier this year. It pairs well with so many dies to make festive Halloween treats for older kiddos or those who can't have candy.
On this Treat bag I decorated it with one of the words from the Halloween Shadow Script dies. I cut the shadow from a colorful inked background, then used the same Distress Oxides to splatter the black gift card bag. I added a few candy dies from last year's Mini Halloween Things, which is available again this year!
For this bag I paired it with one of the new Halloween Hangout Dies and the new Alphanumeric Cutout Lower alpha. Such a great bat die!
On this bag I used the Frankenstein's Monster from the Halloween Side Order, one of the Halloween Shadow Scripts, and s few pieces cut from the Foundry 3-D Texture Fade.
The new Treat Bag die from Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations is perfect for so many occasions, it is definitely a great die to have on hand.
Here I have some samples of the treat bag with a few of the new Sizzix Alterations Halloween dies called Halloween Hangouts and the Halloween Sideorders.
For this first treatbag, I put the cat side order die on a Rosette, as I did on the lollipops in yesterday's post. Then attached it to the front of the treat bag.
The treat bag die comes with a mini alphabet as well, so I used it to cut a silly sentiment on the back of the back to go with the cat on the front. I also added a black raffia handle to the bag for a little detail.
The #Booooooo bag uses the alpha again and one of the Halloween Hangout dies. The Hangouts cut out a Halloween shape in a window, but each shape is still attached at one point.
This is another Halloween Hangout.
This Treat Bag die paired with stamps or dies makes for a very quick little gift for someone special.
