Spooky Treats
Hi and welcome, everyone! Today, I’m up on the SVG Attic Blog with a great way to use Tent Cards and the What’s Brewin’ SVG Collection for to create treat bags. To get us started, I used a tent card from the Tent Card SVG Collection. I love using these cards because you have enough room to add fun elements including a bag of goodies. I added some candy corn to a project life pouch and stapled it in place. You can use a regular cellophane bag with this too. I can’t wait to mak
