Poppy Sketch #12: gift bag

Back again with the latest challenge from Poppy Sketches.  

This challenge was sponsored by  iralamijashop which features handmade digital images. 

As I looked at the sketch my eye was drawn toward the top of the sketch and

I visualized a fold.  So, I decided to decorate a plain bag.  Got it all girlie 

to use as a gift bag down the road.
I used the sponsor's digital image and created a tag. 

 The rectangular shape is represented in the back die cut.

The line is shown in washi tape.

 

The lighter flowers were embossed in white and then I painted them with a barn door distress ink/water/perfect pearl mixture.  

The top flower was colored with Copics for more pop.

Supplies:

Dies: Lawn Fawn's "Tag, You're It", "Scallop Circles"and "Stitched Journaling Card"

Stamps: Hero Arts

Misc: wood veneer, pearls, sequins, rhinestones 

Can't wait to see how you were inspired by the sketch!

WM 75: soccer treats

Hi.

Today I am sharing some treats containers I made for the soccer team.

The sour cream containers were all the rage over

on Two Peas in a Bucket so I decided to try them.

So cute and VERY easy!

Here's the YouTube video by "Dawn" with the instructions.

The tags were made with circle punches and attached with maraschino twine.

I stamped the "you rock" in the center and then kind of off-stamped the ball for effect.

I put 2 chocolate soccer balls in each

and some M & Ms for a little noise when the boys shook them.

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  "you rock" is from Lawn Fawn's "Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum" (see below... this set is so darn versatile!) and the soccer ball on the tag is by Inkadoo.

Papers:  Hobby Lobby racks

Ink: Memento

Other: Twine, paper crimper

I am submitting this project in Wee Memories challenge #75:
gifts, tags and boxes.

If you decide to make some, let me know. 

I'd love to see other versions!

Thanks for looking,

Kelly

CCC79, PV and CC164: Fall Treat bags

Hi.

Sharing some treat bags I am making for my 3 year olds at church.

I found the poem on the Internet and changed a few words for their age level.

I'll write their name on that line beside the pumpkin.

so it will read "May God's light shine in _____".

The pumpkin was stamped in orange and brown and pieced together.  I used the tree leaf in the set to make a leaf for the pumpkin... little creative license, ha ha

I am entering this project in the following challenges:

The Paper Variety: recipe (2 word sentiment, 3 buttons and a bow)
Cupcake Craft #164: buttons and bows
Two Peas in a Bucket "L" is for Lawn Fawn

WM60: Hotwheel Party

Today I am sharing some project I made up for our son's 4th birthday.

Similar to the invites, I cut out the cars from Valentines and used
mod podge to decorate small notebooks from Big Lots. 
I thought they'd get a kick out of having their names on them too.

Here are the little bags that each child received.
I inked one of his cars and ran it across the bag a few times.
The names are made with paint and some Making Memories
foam stamps from a "few" yrs back...hee hee
They contained the notebook and a hotwheel:

Here's the cake.  Black sugar crystals for the main road.  Road edge is brown sugar. 
Grass tip #233.  Candy rocks.  The name logo and "4" are made out of candy melts. 

Thank You cards made with Lawn Fawn's "Say Cheese" set. 
Cars were cut out from HL paper and stickle-ized

I am sharing this project for the Wee Memories Challenge #60: Party Time!
This challenge is sponsored by Eat Cake Graphics

OTWC #51: Easter Treat Bags

Hi there.  Today I am sharing my little treat bags I made for my Sunday School class.
I am entering this into Off the Wall Craftiness challenge #51: Easter.

I stamped the jar in black and then the jelly beans, doing a little masking.

I colored the jelly beans with Prismacolor Pencils and added Glossy Accents for shine.

There is also a bit of gloss on the jar.

The base toppers are 7" X 6".  Then the colored papers on top are 7" X 3". 

I like to add the colored paper on top of the BACK of the staples to protect hands from the staples.   

I actually made 20.

The poem is from the internet.  I put this part on the back:

A BAG FULL OF JELLY BEANS COLORFUL AND SWEET,

IS A PRAYER, IS A PROMISE, IS A SPECIAL TREAT
MAY THE JOY OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION
FILL YOUR HEART AND BLESS YOUR LIFE.

Supplies:

Stamps: Close to my Heart "Little Treasures" (thanks Bobbie)

Ink: Memento

Other: Prismacolor Pencils, Glossy Accents, Twine

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a blessed Easter!

CCC #35/ Treat Bags 2010

Are you knee deep in holiday projects?  I am nearing the surface, ha ha.

Today I am sharing the treat bags I made this year for DH's coworkers.

I have featured Lawn Fawn's "Winter Bunny" (my theme for this year).

He's on our Christmas card shown HERE. 

I got the kraft bags at Michaels, painted them with white acrylic paint and stamped the snowflakes from Lawn Fawn's "Frosties" set with Brilliance white ink and put a dot of Stickles in the centers and in the snow.  Originally, I was going to adhere torn white paper for the snow or felt, but I saw THIS POST by Nicole Maki where she painted on lunch bags so I decided to do that.  Quick and easy!  I then added the bunny which I had previously stamped, colored, cut out, flocked (scarf) and pearlized (ears and tail).  WHEW!  I sent out about 65 cards and there are 25 treat bags.... and I still have bunnies stamped and colored on a sheet of paper... so I guess I did that bunny about 90 times...

Treat bags inside are filled with homemade buckeyes, turtles and dipped pretzels. 

Tip for painting the bags:  I put a sheet of paper in the sides to keep the sides neater.  I had a couple bags with paint on the back fold and this helped....

Thought this was funny. Drying time!

I am submitting this project to the City Crafter Challenge #35: use Kraft paper. 

This week's challenge is sponsored by Di's Digi Designs. 

Thanks for stopping by the old bloggity today. 

Three inches of snow outside. 

Stay Warm!  -Kelly

Supplies:

Kraft bags, treat bags and ribbon: Michaels

Ink: Memento (bunny), Brilliance (snowflakes)

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Frosties" and "Winter Bunny"

Misc: MS flocking powder in ladybug red, liquid pearls, Stickles "crystal", white acrylic paint, colored pencils, blender pen, red marker

Treat Bags

Sharing some treat bags I made last year for DH's coworkers. 

I believe the paper is by My Minds Eye stack. 

It's long gone so I am not sure of the name. 

Got it at Hobby Lobby.

They were inspired by THIS post by Jennifer McGuire. 

She has a video with the instructions!

 Making buckeyes for this year's bags. 

The bags are completely different.  They are ready, just need the treats. 

I'll share them soon! They are VERY cute!

Thanks for looking!  -Kelly
