New Gift Bags

I found some of these cute little bags that I thought would be the perfect size for a gift card and small treat. 

I used an embossing plate on the entire bag and ran it through my big shot.  It left a blank spot on the bottom of the bag that was perfect for embellishing. 

As you can see, I made a topper with a strip of paper that I glued together. I punched two holes and threaded some string to tie a cute bow.  I also die cut a small Apple from my cricut and glued it to a clothes pin. 

The topper slides over the folded top of the bag and then you can clip the apple on top to seal it all together.

I love how it turned out! Thanks for stopping by!

Berry Basket Gift

My aunt just moved into her new home and I knew I wanted to send her something special. I took the petite places: spook manor stamp and die set from Papertrey Ink and made it into something homey.

I got this idea from one of Papertrey Ink's designer's, Betsy Veldman. She has such beautiful creations on her blog, you should check her out HERE.

I can't wait to send this to my Aunt, she is going to LOVE it!

A quick gift card holder card

Apparently I forgot to mail out my Nephew's iTunes gift card for his birthday.  I just found it amongst the mess on my workstation this week and his birthday was at the end of July. In my defense I did send him a birthday card that arrived on time, but my brother didn't get back to me about present possibilities until after I sent the card. You see, I am known for sending cards late and since I had the card ready to go, I sent it so it arrived on time. Of course I didn't know they were at Disney World at the time, so, for once, I could have sent it late. Go figure!

Anyway, I whipped up this gift card-card to mail out to my sweet 6 year old nephew who loves his IPad and all the games on it.

I used my trusty Martha Stewart Scoring Board to crease the edges of a rectangular piece of paper and used a 1" circle punch to make the thumb hole. I then used 1/8" easy tear tape to adhere it to my card. I stamped some stars onto the paper and cut out some stamped stars and adhered with puffy glue dots for a raised effect.

I hope he likes it!

Scrapbook page

I have been scrolling through Instagram and decided to go back to my roots and layout a scrapbook page. I have been loving the layering of embellishments and die cuts and wanted to give it a try.

I have been wanting to do a layout for my daughter, so I figured girly colors was the way to go. 

I have an idea of where I am going with it, but I will need to wait for the photo to be ready. I am ordering from the Project Life App for the first time and am hoping that the pictures will be as wonderful as everyone is saying. 

So this is my work in progress for now. I will complete it soon.
