Best time to spread Christmas cheer!

Hello everyone, Happy Monday! It's design team day for me over at the Timeless Twine blog. Through December 12th, the Twine-istas will be featuring some "Krafty" creations using the color Kraft.

I have decided to use one of the small brown kraft bags from the shop to decorate.

 

 

I also used some "Krazy for Kraft" Timeless Twine bakers twine.

 

I stamped my image and sentiment directly onto the bag using Memento Tuxedo black ink.

My image and sentiment are from two different Peachy Keen Stamp sets. I colored my image in using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils, because they are oil based they color really well onto the kraft. The white circles are made using embossing paste and a stencil.

I haven't quite decided what I am going to put in this little gift bag yet, but someone will be getting some goodies in it come Christmas time.

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!!

TTDT Day: Sweet On You!

Hello everyone, happy Monday, Its my turn to post over on the Timeless Twine  blog today! If you didn't already know, this month the twine-istas with be sharing 3D Valentine projects with you all. I am going to kick off my first post for this month, by sharing a bag I altered.  

 

 

I decided to paper pierce my bag and do a scalloped crochet edge on it using my absolute favorite twine, Strawberry Cupcake. I didn't follow a pattern, I just SC down the bag, then turned, did four DC in first SC, SS in next SC, skip stitch and repeat.

SC: Single Crochet

DC: Double Crochet

SS: Slip Stitch

 

I put a Spellbinders die, cut side up, inside my bag and ran through my eBosser (thanks Dad & Mom, yes my dad does read my blogpost) :) to cut out the circle. I than placed the same circular die inside a larger scallop die by spellbinders to cut out the glittery circular frame. I put a piece of clear acetate on the inside of bag & adhered it down, so the candies wont fall out. The bag was filled with chocolates, but before pictures, my peanut and I got hungry :)

 

Items used from store:

Small Brown Kraft Bags

 

Small Gift Tags-White

 

Strawberry Cupcake

 

Sequins Mixed

 

All my stamps used on my bag are by Peachy Keen Stamps.

 

Thank you all for stopping by and taking a peek at my altered gift bag, also be sure to head over to yesterdays post and check out our Simply White blog hop, if you haven't already, this new twine is just perfect and so are all the creations made with it!!

 

TT Design Team Day~ Spreading Christmas Way

Hello Everyone, this is my second post of the day make sure you check out my first! It's Design Team Day over at the Timeless Twine  today. Can you believe that we only a week away before Christmas!? Luckily I have pretty much all my Christmas stuff done :) I have to get a couple more things on Thursday, but just little things. For this entire month the Twine-istas have been sharing gift giving projects with you, and of course today is no exception.

For my gift bag, I used one of the Small Brown Kraft Bags & Natural Bakers Twine.

 

I used my Silhouette to cut out my phrase that I purchased last year from the Silhouette Online store and then used the negative to put on my bag. I added some Christmas paper to the inside of my bag to stiff it up and add more color.

Have you had the chance to head on over to the Bella Creationz Store, Stacy has so many awesome items over there for gift giving and everyday use!!

Thank you all for stopping by

So excited I get to stay on this absolutely fantastical team!!!!
