Pretty Packages

Pick bags or boxes, or both!  Our Tag a Bag Gift Boxes are an easy way to create party favors, gifts, treats.  They come in a set of 8 (each 6-7/8" x 2-1/8" x 2-1/2") with acetate sleeves.  The cost is $6.95 and easy to decorate with our Tag  a Bag Accessory Kit.  Not just for Christmas.

Wishy Washi

Having fun creating with Washi Tape, which is a decorative Japanese tape.  It is somewhat translucent and is easily removed and replaced.  Great for attaching photos or accessories.  A great & inexpensive gift.  Did I mention fun?

Stocking Stuffer #4

I'm always looking for something to take notes with.  Using little comp books, decorate with paper, die-cuts and stamps.  Adorable!


Stocking Stuffer #3

Stampin Up's Tag a Bag Gift Bags make a fun way to give a stocking stuffer.  They are 5" x 8-1/4" and come with a white ombré print.  



Stocking Stuffer #2

I love using brown paper sacks in my projects!  This sack measures 3-1/2" x 5-1/2".

Add a paper doily, a banner out of decorative paper, die cut a label for a background with die-cut trees folded and glued together to make it 3-dimensional and last but not least, add the gift & close it up with ribbon & Baker's Twine!

Marshmallow Santa

Perfect fit!  I was a little concerned that it might not.  I bought the candy hoping to wrap it in the Petite Pocket Die.  

I used Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla & Champagne Glimmer card-stock.  The wrap is fabric that I had here at home, a little embroidery & linen thread, punches and a framelit to add the finishing touches.

Enjoy.

"M" Is For Merry

Here is my "snipped" project for November.  We were given the Kraft Gift Box, Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and the Tea Lace Paper Doilie.  Also the Designer Bow.   I love the way it turned out!  The pretty packaging is my favorite part of gift giving because it's my way of saying I wanted to make this extra special!

Enjoy.  If you would like more info on how to make one, please let me know.

You're Number One

I was asked by my church to make gift cards that would be attached to small bouquets of flowers to be given by our little kids to members who were 80 years old or older.  I had this adorable set called Postage Collection that I wanted to use.  I made the former for the men and the latter for the women.  Pastor, and rightfully so, asked for just one design as it would be too much for the little kids to handle so I went with the purple and gold (known for royalty) and changed the image to a vintage hot air balloon.  I forgot to get a photo, though.

For Me A Blessing

I recently reconnected with a lifelong friend.  She really lifted my spirits.  We shared and talked and talked.  It was a very blessed day.  

When choosing stamps today to create with, I found "Trust God" and knew I wanted to use it.   I started with a MOJO Monday sketch, then I went through my scraps of DSP.  I chose Sycamore Street.   My stash seemed to have the right sizes I needed for a 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 card.

Enjoy






You're The Best

I fell in love with a card by Lisa Martz and wanted to recreate it!  I made a few changes & voila!  Colors are Always Artichokw, Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso.  

Thanks for dropping by.
