Be Mine Door Hanger

Happy Friday!

Hey paper lovers! Today is day five and my last day, as guest designer, on the Obsessed with Scrapbooking blog!  I have had so much fun this week, sharing my Valentine treat idea's with you. I hope you were inspired! It's been an honor to have been asked to do this and I want to thank Joy, for the wonderful opportunity.

Today's project is a door hanger treat.

I designed everything on my Gypsy. I sized the door hanger to 11 1/4" tall and the inset (patterned) piece was sized at 10 1/4" tall. I only used the back potion, so I placed it on the mat so that the back potion was the only part on the mat, hence it was the only part that cut out. I also hid the circle and replaced it with a circle at was 1 1/4", it needs to be larger. I also sized one square, from George Basic Shapes, at 3"x 2 3/4" (front piece) and two at .625"x 2 3/4" (side pieces). The "Be Mine" was sized to 2 1/2"x 1 1/4 and cut out. Lastly, the XL label dies were cut out, everything was inked, assembled, the twine wrapped around the pocket.

I filled the pocket with goodies from the $1 stop at Target and some hand lotion from Bath and Body Works. I attached the lips, lip gloss with a glue dot. I didn't want it to get lost in the pocket.

Door hanger: Cricut, Art Philosophy Cartridge

Be Mine: Cricut, Artiste Cartridge

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

Heart Earrings

Happy Wednesday!

Hey paper lovers! Can you believe that we are half way there? Today is day three, of my guest week fabulous Obsessed with Scrapbooking blog! I have another fun Valentine's treat for you today.

Who doesn't love some fun and festive ear decor?

 The heart's were cut from the Wild Card cartridge. I sized them on my Gypsy at 1 1/2" tall each. After cutting them out (blade 6, max pressure, cut 2x), I stamped them with red Satzon Ink, punched a hole at the top with my Crop-o-dile, and used my heat gun to shrink them down to size. 

Fun right?

Here is a more in depth video tutorial showing how to make the earrings. Start the video at 4:00 minutes, to skip through the design software tutorial, to see how the earrings are made. 

You can also color the hearts in with Copic markers or Parisma colored pencils.

Pretzel Treat Bags

Happy Tuesday!

Hey paper lovers! It's day two of my guest spot over at the Obsessed with Scrapbooking blog.

Today's treat is chocolate dipped pretzels, in a bag, with a cute topper. 

Hand dipping and decorating pretzels, are just about as fun to make as they are to receive. I love all the fun holiday sprinkles that can be found at the store. You can find the chocolate buttons, in different colors, at Michael's and Joann's. 

I used my Gypsy to design the topper. I opened and sized the scalloped square, from Mini Monograms, to 3" x 3" wide. I found a square on George Basic shapes and sized it to 2.25" x 2.25". Once they were cut out, I inked the edges, glued them together, and folded them in half and adhere them, with Scor tape, to the tops of the pretzel bags. Lastly, I cut the heart dies, the banner dies, stamped the banners, and attached everything to the front, with foam tape.

Candy Flower Treats

Happy Monday!

 I am so excited because Joy over at Obsessed with Scrapbooking has asked me to be the guest designer on her blog this week! I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity!

Since Valentine's Day is exactly a month away, I thought it would be fun to spend the week sharing some fun Valentine's treat ideas. Today's treat is cute, inexpensive, and a perfect craft that kids can help make.

How fun are these lollipop treats?

 I used my Gypsy to open and size the flower, from the Artiste cart, to 2.25" tall and I hid the circle in the center of the flower. I opened a circle from George Basic Shapes and sized it to .30", placed it in the center of the flower, and then grouped them together. After grouped, I copied and pasted as many flowers as I needed to the mat, so that I could cut them out all at once. 

Once all my flowers were cut out, I inked the edges, stamped them in the center with the sentiment, and slipped the lollipop through the center.  You could also cut a small leaf and add that as well. That would be a perfect place to add a classmates name.

Flower: Cricut, Artiste Cartridge

Circle: Cricut, George Basic Shapes

Dum-Dums Lolli's: Dollar Tree

Paper: K and Company

All Around Sentiment: My Creative Time, Classmate Valentines

Welcome Baby

Happy Friday!

Whew! So glad that it is Friday! 
I made a card for a friend who is about to have a baby. It's a girl and I am so excited for them. Her nursery is yellow and pink, so I tried to stay with those colors.

I made the card base in Make-the-Cut with basic shapes. I am sharing it below. It measures 5.5" wide x 6.8" tall. The elephant was sized at 2" tall. I replaced the heart in the svg file with the medium stitched heart layering die. It end up being about the right size and I like the stitched effect.
