Thankful for You

Hello everyone!

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope this finds you blessed and not stressed with the upcoming holiday on reflecting what we are thankful for!

I was hosting then I wasn't hosting Thanksgiving dinner, so I am grateful for wonderful friends having us over and picking up the slack.  I wanted to show my appreciation for having us over and my bag of goodies wouldn't be complete if I didn't throw a little something that was sprinkled with a crafty handmade touch.

Well I am always short on time these days, so I pretty much cased myself from a few years ago. No need to reinvent the wheel right?

5 Tags created in an assembly line to embellish some yummy treats.  Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine helped package these treats up nicely along with some ribbon and raffia I had in my stash.

I thank you for stopping by and visiting me! I am thankful for you!  I don't get crafty much these days, so it makes me feel good when I can and I love sharing with you! Working full-time and commuting along with a year long baseball schedule limits my blog hopping time and commenting, but I do peek at all your work! You inspire me!

I am going to share at Crafty Hazel Nuts - November use patterned paper challenge, Cardsz TV - Anything Goes.

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Trendy Twine -Thanksgiving Nugget Treats

Hey!

It's my turn to post some goodies on the Trendy Twine Blog. I am featuring some Thanksgiving Nugget Treats featuring APB - Hello Fall Planner Stamp Set and Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine.

 

 I created the box using my Cameo and a file from the Silhouette Store - I decorated the box before assembling using the APB - Hello Fall Planner Stamp Set.  I did this for 8 boxes. 

 

I stamped the fall inspired greetings along the side and end of the box, and did the same on the bottom incorporating the images from the set. 

After assembling the holder and adding patterned paper to the nuggets, I created a tag to add to the treat which I used Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine to tie it together embellishing with a little jingle bell.

How cute are these stamps?  Stop by the Boutique and grab these goodies to make your own treats!

I used these products from Annie's Paper Boutique:

The Kraft Journal, Anything Goes - Pumpkin

Hello and Happy Monday!

This week at The Kraft Journal we have an Anything Goes - Pumpkin challenge for you.

I decorated two Small Kraft Pillow Boxes for the upcoming Halloween holiday and filled them with treats. I took a piece of designer paper and wrapped it around the pillow box. Using Blackboard Stock Paper, I die-cut some ric-rac borders to add to the front.

Next I took a length of Black Twill Tape and wrapped it around the pillow box and tied a bow at the top. Again, using Blackboard Stock Paper, I made a paper rosette to add to the center adding a circular greeting (My Creative Time) and a die-cut pumpkin to complete my Pillow Box treats.

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Anything Goes - Pumpkin creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

 

Have a great week!

Medium Kraft Bags with The Kraft Journal

Hello There!

It's my turn to share a product spotlight at The Kraft Journal. I couldn't resist making some Valentine treat packaging using The Kraft Outlet's Medium Kraft Bags. 

I cut some hearts from various Valentine patterned papers and layered them on a heart doily die-cut from white and Buff Ivory Cardstock placing them to the center of the bag. 

Next, I die-cut a heart and xoxo border placing it just below the heart using a clear liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I created a bow from Blush Hand Stained Bias Tape topping it with another bow made from Natural Hemp Cord embellished with a button. 

There are many things you can do with the Medium Kraft Bags, but with Valentine's Day coming up why don't you pick some up at The Kraft Outlet and create some treats of your own for friends, neighbors, teachers, grandchildren....the possibilities are endless. 

Thanks so much for your visit!

Joy Christmas Treats

Good Morning Friends!

I thought I would share some treats I created to go in a care package. The picture is not great because I was in a race against time to get them finished and in the mail because they are traveling pretty far.  I am hoping they reach their destination before Christmas. So, I apologize as  I just snapped the picture quickly not fussing with presentation! :-) 

I have more of these to make, so I am sure you will be seeing the same thing maybe using different papers, tags and images in a few days. (If time works on my side that is). Every year I think I am going to get a jump start and I never seem to get all the task I want completed. 

I actually made 4 of these for the care package. (Sadly, the group shot didn't turn out and they are already on their merry way) I used a tray I found in the Silhouette Store which made this project so much quicker to complete. I made them by hand in the past.  The tag is also a file I have from the Silhouette Store. The snowman and sentiment are both from Paper Smooches.  Perfect embellishing touch is Trendy Twine Holly Berry twine  (Which is on sale right now).

I am going to share at: Decorate To Celebrate - Anything Goes, Craftin Desert Divas - Christmas,   DL Art - Any Winter Holiday, Paper Smooches Sparks - Anything Goes, Pause Dream, Enjoy - Christmas, Silhouette Challenge - Anything Goes, Pumpkin Spice - Anything Holiday

Thank you for stopping by and having a peek.

A Treat Just For You {Trendy Twine}

Hi ya friends,

I am over on the Trendy Twine Blog today with a fun little treat I created for Halloween featuring Grape Limeade Trendy Twine and a Shorty Candy Chute.  

Here is what I made:

I started by decorating a Shorty Candy Chute filled with a few Shimmery Lime Gumballs using the awesome Grape Limeade Trendy Twine.   I created a small stamped tag and tied it to the chute and embellished it with a few purple jingle bells before tying it off in a bow. I created a holder to package my Shorty Candy Chute by hand. I decorated the outside using a background stamp from My Creative Time Fright Night and cuts using the Mini Monster and Doodlecharms Cartridge. The cutie face on the spider comes from Peachy Keen Stamps Simple Sallies Face Assortment.

I use Grape Limeade Trendy Twine to keep the flap close.  To open, you just slip out the front cover. 

The picture below shows how the treat sits in the holder. 

I just pushed the twine down a bit so that you could read the enclosed sentiment. To close, you just slide the twine up a bit and bring your front flap down. Your twine is what keeps the flap closed. It's not only decorative, but it serves a purpose! That's some bang for your buck! :-)

Are you looking for some inspiration? Be sure to stop by the Twine It Up! With Trendy Twine Facebook Page to see lots of fabulous projects.  You can find these fabulous products and more over at Annie's Paper Boutique.

Happy Almost Easter! :-)

For this week's Challenge at The Kraft Journal, We are asking you show us those adorable Bunnies and Lambs! We hope that you will join us this week! :-)))

For my project, I decided to make a little goodie bag! The Kraft Outlet sells adorable Merchandise bags.  I have started off using the Kraft Chevron Merchandise Bag as you see here. I had so much fun creating this scene.  I used a Silhouette cutting file for the bunny which was purchased in their store. The grass border is from My Creative Time.  The Egg is from Paper Sweeties Hippy Hoppity Easter Wishes.

The bag topper was created using a paper doily, a Prima flower, a DeNami Design Boutique Button laced with Pastel Hemp Cord, and die-cut leaves from Brown Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock covered in Blue and White Washi Tape.

There you have it! A fun little Easter Treat! Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your bunnies and lambs creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

Paper Sweeties March Release Day!

Hi There! So what do you think of all the Paper Sweeties Sneak Peeks over the last couple of days?  It sure is fun to be thinking about "spring" I've had a ball creating several Easter Treats with the new release, and I have another round of treats to share today. 

There is always someone to thank and remember. We always take a little something to the administrative staff at my son's school. Here are a few that he will be sharing. They are the backbone of the school. Oh, don't forget those crossing guards and bus drivers too. How about a neighbor?  There is always room to brighten someone's day with a little something made from the heart!

I started by cutting a paper sack using a file from the Silhouette store. I used Paper Sweeties newly released: Hippity Hoppity Easter Wishes (Sentiment) and the Wagon Add-on: bloom & grow (eggs) and sequins for the centers of the flowers.

These treats are perfect to stash a gift card or your favorite sweet treat. 

Debbie has added a new {Frequent Shopper Reward} feature at Paper Sweeties.

 You can find the details here. 

I'm happy you could visit with me today. Please join my teammates for the Paper Sweeties release blog hop!

Paper Sweeties March Sneak Peek Day 2

Good Morning!

It's time to show off some more of the Paper Sweeties March Release. The set that I am working with today is using a sentiment from the Wagon Add-on: bloom & grow and will be available in the Paper Sweeties Store tomorrow.

I am carrying on with making more easter treat projects to share. I decorated some mason jars to give as gifts. The contents are Bunny Brownies. The jar is filled with peeps among other ingredients to make the brownies, so I thought this sentiment was PERFECT! Too cute. 

I used some sequins from the Paper Sweeties store to dress up the label a bit.

 

Well that's all for me today! Be sure to stop by again tomorrow for some more from this new release. Before you go, check out what the other DT gals put together with stamps from this release.

Paper Sweeties March Sneak Peeks Day 1

Welcome to the kickoff of the March Paper Sweeties Countdown release where the design team shares peeks of brand new products set to be released on the 15th. The next few days you will be seeing more "treats" from me than cards. 

So for today's treats, I have sweet little Easter Egg Totes. 

I used the soon to be released, Hippity Hoppity Easter Wishes set along with their coordinating Sweet Cuts.  The cut file is from the Silhouette Store. I used two of the flower stamps to create a tone on tone background on the treats. 

 I used some spring papers and a cute little Easter Egg Ribbon I had on hand to dress up the treat you see above.

I used the lamb and its sweet cut, and what I can't get to show up is the white fluffy flocking I added. Just think how cute that will be on your projects. I've had my bottle forever, so it goes a long way. You can find it at Michael's and use a coupon. Mine is made by Martha Stewart.

There is an egg die in the Hippity Hoppity Sweet Cut sets that I used to create a tag for my greeting at the top of my treats. 

Hope you stop by the rest of the design team to see what they have to share with you!

The Kraft Journal #162 Lucky Green

Hi!  

{If you are looking for my DeNami Designs Blog Hop Post click here}

It's Monday, and I am bringing you our newest challenge this week at The Kraft Journal, Lucky Green.    Using my Cameo, I cut a Pot of Gold treat holder from Black Board Stock Paper.  This is one of my first projects I worked on after I separated my shoulder. There are a few things I am not too happy with, but I had to let it go and not worry about it because it was actually tough to do some of the simplest things, like add adhesive, putting together a rosette and die-cutting....ouch etc. You just don't realize how much everything is connected.

 To jazz up the center of my treats, I die-cut a Scalloped Stitched Rosette from Green cardstock adding a scallop and stitched circle from Brown Kraft Cover Weight, and Black Board Stock Paper followed by a green die-cut shamrock that comes with the Pot of Gold file. I added a Good Luck sentiment to the center of the green shamrock embellishing with some Kraft color pearls.

 For the treats themselves, I filled a bag with gold Rolos which I tied the top in a bow from Black Twill Tape further embellishing with a triple bow of Dark Green Baker's Twine, buttons, and a Happy St. Patrick's sentiment stamped on a die-cut banner from Brown Kraft Cover Weight.

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Lucky Green creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

I am going to share at: Just Be Creative - March Linky Party, Sunday {Fun}day - March Linky Party, Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes, Decorate To Celebrate - St. Patrick's Day, D.L. Art - March Linky Challenge.

I have a simple little treat package to share today. This would be perfect to welcome a new neighbor or make something for a friend or neighbor "just because". Thinking ahead, think how darling this would be for the holidays! Just changed your embellishments to fit the occasions. 

I used Home Sweet Home today.  I started by stamping this darling house image onto Kraft cardstock and colored in with prisma watercolor pencils and mineral spirits. I then put the tag together to add to the front.

I added some delicious brownies and folded over my glassine bag adding a doily to the top.  I tied a bow next adding the stamped sentiment. Just the prefect little dressing to add to some homemade treats.
