Petite Cafe Gift Bag

petite bag

If you like to give little treats to friends and family, these Petite Cafe Gift Bags are the perfect solution! They are made of kraft paper and lined inside so that you can add a goodie that might leak through the paper (cookies, zucchini bread . . . .).  I decided to add Hershey’s Kisses.  I don’t have the bag that the kisses came in but it was one of the smaller sizes.  I added 1 1/2 packages to this bag.  I realized too late that had I made my star shape opening lower down on the bag, I could have gotten away with just one bag of kisses.  As it was, you could barely see the candy and I think that half the fun is seeing the candy peek through SO more candy went in!

Here’s how I created the opening with the Star Framelits.

1.  Open the bag.

2.  Place the Framelit with the cutting edge facing toward the front of the bag.

3.  Run it through your Big Shot.

4. Cut a piece of Window Sheet plastic just a bit larger than your shape and place it inside your bag using glue dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ornamental Pine

It has been very difficult not to purchase EVERYTHING in the Holiday catalog.  I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Ornamental Pine and play with it! This is another stamp set that you can do so much with!

This card was easy to make and the results are stunning.  I know that it’s hard to see from the picture but in person it is so sparkly. Are you wondering how I was able to achieve the sparkle?  After stamping, I covered the entire card front with Versamark ink.  I just turned the pad over and sponged the card with it.  Then I sprinkled Iridescent Ice embossing power all over and heat embossed it!!  Give it a try, I guarantee you will love the results!  I do want to mention that on my first attempt, I used Craft cardstock.  Once I heat set it, the overall effect was too dark and you couldn’t really see my stamping underneath it.  When I tried using Very Vanilla, I was happy with the results!

I’m finally back with a card for you!  This uses Festival of Trees from the Holiday Catalog along with the matching Tree punch.  I love this set!  You can do so many different things with the trees.  I chose to emboss them with silver embossing powder.  So pretty in person! I’ve listed the supplies below for you.  Please note that if you purchase Festival of Trees and the Tree punch, be sure to get the bundle which saves you 15% (the bundle is last in my list of products).
