Weekend Crop Triangle Treat Bag

I am making 9 of these treat bags for a crop that I am hosting this weekend. So, if you are attending my crop, this is one of the goodies that you will be receiving!! I only have to make 9 of these before Friday! This was actually pretty fun to make. I really like the papers from the CTMH

Boom-Di-Ada paper pack. This was new in the Summer 08 Idea Book and honestly I forgot how much I LOVED the colors and patterns in this paper pack. I will have to reacquaint myself with this paper pack this weekend and make some more pages with it!! LOL

The tutorial for this treat bag can be found at the InStyle Stamps Method Monday challenge for February 23rd. I changed the width on my treat bag so I could get more cuts from a 12x12. So, my dimensions are 4 x 11, instead of the 4 1/4 x 11. This way I could get 3 from a 12x12 instead of 2.

The treats that I will put in each bag will be different from what is shown in this sample bag. I just think it would be better to put something that is wrapped like Hershey's Kisses or something like that. I will be putting an individual stamp in a seperate little baggie like the one shown!



Supplies are mostly CTMH:
Paper: Boom-Di-Ada
Stamp set: Cottage Floral
Inks: Barn Red, Autumn Terracotta and Buttercup
Embellishments: Prisma Glitter
Punch: SU! scalloped border punch

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope that you have found inspiration in this little Triangle Treat Bag!!

Card for March unit swap!!

I have to say that I am so proud of myself for not waiting till the last day to figure out what I was going to make for my swap this month!! I actually knew 3 weeks ago what I was going to make!! I just did not start assembling until today! LOL Some habits are hard to break!!


For this swap we were to use That's Amore papers and colors and think outside of the box and not just think "Love" with this paper pack. I chose to make the 3 1/2 x 8 card. So, this is what I came up with..... a sparkly flower!! I just LOVE glitter!!! Notice that I put glitter on the brad in the center of the flower too!


To create the flower, I stamped the large flower in Blush ink then rolled the edges in Tulip ink. I repeated the process with the scalloped middle and for the green part I inked it in Garden Green and then rolled the edges in New England Ivy ink. After all was stamped, I cut out the large flower and then sponged the edges with Tulip ink to create a darker edge. I then used my Fine Ball Point Zig glue pen and went around the edges, the center and the brad and sprinkled Prisma Glitter to it all.

The stem of the flower was hand drawn on after I adhered the leaves and then hand stitched with Garden Green embroidery floss.

Supplies:
Stamps: CTMH Cottage Floral and Simple Stitches
Paper: CTMH That's AmoreInks: Blush, Tulip, Chocolate, Garden Green and New England Ivy
Embellishments: Prisma Glitter and Garden Green brad

OK......I know I have been a little quiet lately!

I just finished this card that I made for the Humble Artists swap that I participate in every 2 months. The guidelines for this month's swap were to make a 6x6 or 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card that needed to have an animal, an embossed image, at least 5 layers, a background stamp and at least 2 embellishments. I believe I have met all requirements. Now, I just need to make 4 more and send them off!! Vicki has a gorgeous card that she made for the Humble Artists swap also, so go check out Vicki's blog to see it! I have the real thing sitting right next to me and it is even MORE gorgeous in person!! Thanks Vicki!!!


I just can't get enough of this little bunny from CTMH's Bunny Love or the CTMH Creative Basics Emporium Collection!! I embossed the bunny with Versa Mark, Staz on and fine detail embossing powder on watercolor paper. I colored in with Bamboo, Desert Sand and Cocoa then used a blending pen to blend all. The 1/2 circles are Circle Window Charms with crystal blue cs and the circle inside is from the circle b&t from emporium.


I colored in the bubbles with Crystal Blue then used my glue pen to adhere Prisma Glitter. The tail is Liquid Applique. The scalloped circles are Nestabilities and the scalloped border is a SU! punch. All other supplies are ctmh. For the card sketch, I used CPS #97.

Supplies used:
Stamps: Intrinsic Backgrounds, Bunny Love
Paper: Creative Basics Emporium Collection
Embellishments: Heavenly Blue Ribbon Collection, Circle Window Charms, Prisma Glitter
Stampin' Up! scalloped edge punch, Circle Nestabilities

I hope that it is swapworthy!!
