Copper Dotted Treat Bag - OVER THE TOP!

Hello and how are you doing today?  Gosh...it's been a SUPER busy morning!  I've been baking...baking...baking!  For our 50th Annual Candy Cane Basketball Tournament!  One back of peanut butter cookies burned...but that was the only casualty!  I also tried a new chocolate cookie recipe (that my husband loves) and my new brownie pan! This pan is so cool...you bake individual square brownies so each brownie has four edges!  Edges are the BEST! I'm done now so on to blogging!

Today I want to share a quick and pretty gift bag idea!  It's created with the Copper Dotted Treat Bag!

I used my Pool Party Stampin' Blend to color my bag.  Isn't it pretty?  I think it's a FANTASTIC idea...not mine, sadly...but FANTASTIC!!

I love the sloppy bow look so I folded the top of the bag over, punched a couple of holes in it and slipped a piece of ribbon through both holes and tied it in a half knot.  Next I laid a strip of lace, polka dotted tool and burlap ribbon over the top of the half knot and tied another knot to hold them all in place!  I LOVE the look...kind BOHO CHIC!!

I haven't tried coloring the bag any other colors yet, but plan on doing it soon for some Valentine projects!  STAY TUNED!!


HEY...thanks BUNCHES for stopping by today!  Enjoy your weekend...be safe and patient in the crowds!  I hope you find a moment or two to CREATE!

SIMPLE Home Decor Ideas for Christmas!

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Thanks for checking in today and THANK YOU to all of you who took advantage of FREE SHIPPING yesterday and ordered from me!  You keep me going!  

Remember my November Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop...where I used that months kit to create framed art!  I have fallen in love with framing my art and I want to share some more of it today!

I was asked to be a designer on the Facebook page called 3-D Thursdays and this is what I created for it!  I used the Tiny Keepsakes stamp set to stamp the buffalo plaid background in Memento Black Ink.  I stamped two, trimmed them close and overlapped them so that it looks like one piece.  Next I cut a tree from Night Before Christmas 6" x 6" designer paper with the Pine Tree punch and attached it with dimensions.  I added a star cut from Sparkle Glimmer paper that I cut with the Stitched Star Framelits and attached it with dimensionals as well.  Last I attached the piece to a 5" x 7" piece of Basic Black cardstock and put it in my frame!  SUPER CUTE and SUPER EASY!!!

...but wait...

...there's more!

I created this one exactly the same way as above but added the word JOY! I cut the JOY with the Hand Lettered Prose Dies from Basic Black cardstock and attached it with Multipurpose Glue.  This time I tried it in a black frame!  SO FUN!!

Ok...ok...ONE MORE!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ONE!!!  I cut a piece a Basic Black cardstock to fit my frame opening which is 3 1/2" x 5".  Using the Snow Front stamp set, I stamped the trees in VersaMark and heat embossed them using white embossing powder.  I was able to center them and make sure they were straight using my grid paper.  You can also use your Stamparatus to get them in the perfect spot. This would make really cute cards, but I love it as framed art as well!  

Hey...THANK BUNCHES for stopping in today!  Have a TERRIFIC day!
