Heart Candy Treat

Happy Thursday!

Hey paper lovers! Today is day four of my guest week on the Obsessed with Scrapbooking  blog and I can't believe it's almost over! I have another fun Valentine's treat for you today.

 This little treat envelope holds just the right amount of M&M's for a small gift. Overall the envelope measures 4 x 3 3/4" tall. 

I sized the envelope on my mat, on my Gypsy, to 6"wide. I then sized the heart to 3 1/2", centered it on the front of the envelope, and joined them together. I then took two more hearts, sized one at 3 3/4"and one at 3 1/4", then I placed the smaller one inside the larger and joined them together. This creates the framed heart shape. After everything is cut out, ink the edge of the heart, wrap the twine around the edge of the heart, make the sentiment tag and glue it to the heart right under the bow, then apply the heart to the front of the envelope with foam tape. Lastly, I placed about 1/4cup of M&M's in the plastic bag, cut the height down to 4", and sealed it. I  put the envelope together (on three sides) with score tape, added the bag of M & M's, and closed the top. 

Envelope: Cricut, Wild Card 2

Heart: Cricut, Wild Card 2

Paper: Core'dinations & We R Memory Keepers

Twine: Trendy Twine, Watermelon Taffy

Sentiment: My Creative Time, 100% Sweetness Stamp Set

Trendy Twine Guest Designer!

Happy Friday!

My friend Lesley over at Trendy Twine asked if I would be a guest designer on her blog and of course I said yes. :) I love all of her twine! She has some great color combinations. I used one of my favorites on today's project.

I made a shaped card with a treat! 

I found this cute penguin svg on the Lettering Delights site. I thought he was the perfect shape for a "sweet treat cup" card.  I also thought that the Valentine Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine would be perfect for his scarf.   I took the scarf piece,that I cut out, and wrapped it with the twine.

In the video below, I show you how I designed and put him together. 

Papers: PaperTrey Ink and Core'dinations

Penguin SVG: Lettering Delights, Stashing Through the Snow
Treat Cup: Stampin Up!, Sweet Treat Cups 
Face Stamp: Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-521 Winter Faces
Twine: Trendy Twine, Valentine Cherry Cupcake
Tic Tac's: Target

Here's a video tutorial showing how I made him.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Trendy Twine Guest Designer

Happy Tuesday!

If you are looking for my Jaded Blossom post, click here.

I was asked to be a guest designer today on the Trendy Twine blog. If you haven't seen their super yummy twine, you have to check it out!

My Project is a magnetic photo frame.

 

The twine is Trendy Twine's "Cherry Cupcake". This twine is a "twist" of double pink and double red.

The frame is made with a 5 x 7 metal roofing tin. They can be purchased at Home Depot in the roofing/sheet metal section. The papers are from Coredinations and We R Memory Keepers.

I borrowed this fun idea from my super talented friend Liz, from Liz's Paper Loft.  

The ladybug is an svg from Paper Piecing by Nikki. It is from the Cute as a Bug (boy) set. I used Peachy Keen Stamps face stamp from Medium Critter Faces for her face.
