4th of July Tags for Goodie Bags

Pin It Now! Just a quick share tonight.  I'm getting ready for a birthday / Independence Day party at my house tomorrow, and needed some patriotic tags for goodie bags for the kids!

I stuffed them full of candy and firecrackers (the cheesy kind!). Oh, and Minion glasses. This is going to be fun!

Have a blessed holiday weekend!  

Vintage Americana Style Mini Treat Bag - HSS215

Pin It Now! Independence Day is right around the corner!  Here is a little vintage style bag made from the Mini Treat Bag Framelits dies.  I love vintage Americana, so I wanted to keep that flair.  My bag is holding a bunch of sparklers, with a few wrapped in (retired) SU Tinsel Trim.

Here's the inspiration collage for this week's challenge.  SO great!  

I was inspired by the woodgrain, the pennants, and the color combo of the bouquet of flowers.

I used Pacific Point, Real Red, and vanilla.  The vintage print from the Typeset DSP was perfect for the vintage feel!  

I opted to cut the stars diagonally across the bag, and lined it with the vintage print from behind.
The rosette is a 1" x 12" strip, and scored every 1/4".
The sentiment is done by me on the computer with a free font US Declaration.
The little banner punches are stamped with Hardwood.
I crumpled the vanilla seam binding ribbon and doily and rubbed them with Crumb Cake sponging.

What do you have planned for the 4th?  Whatever you do, spend a little moment to lift up our nation in prayer.  What a blessing it is to be in this great land!  Pray for her protection and preservation. Thanks!

Handmade Gift Bag with Mason Jar Labels

Pin It Now! I love to can my own food!  And, I love to talk to other people about canning our food!  I recently had a conversation with a friend, and was inspired to make her some mason jar labels, and a pretty little gift bag to put them in.  Here's the bag:

It's simple to make!  I used a template, found here, and embellished it with lots of pretty supplies, including the stamp set Friendship Preserves.  I created the mason jar labels myself, digitally!

She loved them!

A jar of my homemade concord grape jelly with the labels and some SU trim...

I have the labels for sale in my Etsy Shop!  They make your gifted foods look so cute!
