Happy Birthday Gift Bag using Sweet Treat Cups

Helllooooo!

Here's another SNEEK PEEK to a project
that will be on display at my
OPEN HOUSE

- COMING UP THIS SUNDAY - AUG 1

First - want to know the secret for ador-able cards or projects like this? Add treats!

It's seriously easy by using Stampin' Up!s Sweet Treat Cups! You fill the Sweet treat Cup with some goodies and adhere it to your project. There are several clever Stamp Sets that are designed to use the Cups as part of the image - first stamp and then punch out a hole using a circle or heart shape punch, and insert the treat cup like I have done here.

I decided to make up my own design although I do have a co-ordinating stamp set, but I chose to punch out a circle and transform the treat cup into a flower! And our beautiful coloured BRIGHTS BUTTONS really jazz it up!

Rather than make a card, I made a ' topper ' for a gift bag - one of those non-descript bags you can buy in the 'Party Supplies' section - and look at it NOW! Just have to filler up and I'm all set to go :)

Since I purchase these bags when they are reduced - this whole project cost me about $1.60 - so CUTE and inexpensive for a CUSTOM GIFT BAG THAT HAS SWEET ALL OVER IT!!!!

So for the cost of peanuts - or "candy" - you can give a gift in such a fun way. I love that, and you'll probably be right there when they see their candy and their eyes light up - that's what its all about! :)

SEE YOU AT MY OPEN HOUSE!!!!

Cost of the project - 50 cents for bag; scraps of cardstock and ribbon - 50 cents; 4 buttons from "Brights" Collection - (4 0f 72 buttons) - 50 cents; tiny amount of ink and adhesive - negligible; candy - 10 cents = approx. $1.60

STAMPIN' UP! Supplies: 1-3/4 " Circle Punch; 5 Petal Flower Punch; Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Paper; NEW 'Brights' Buttons; Whisper White and Real Red Cardstock; Hostess "Playful Pieces" Level II clear stamps; Wild Wasabi + Real Red + Peach Parfait Ink, Sticky Strip Adhesive, glue.

NOTE: You can also purchase Sweet Treat padded envelopes to hold your creations if you wish to mail them.

Gothic Birthday Card

Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism! I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better? Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release. To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest! The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG ! So I had to do one! IT'S A EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT! GREAT KIDS PROJECT! We made ours after having breakfast and in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies: CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES: flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other: 1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
