What's Poppin' Gifting Treats

What's poppin' Monday crafty friends!?!
Today I'm going to show y'all another easy 'n quick 
idea for party favors, class treats, teacher gifts, etc.
I mean, who doesn't L-O-V-E popcorn :)


I've taken your basic microwave popcorn bags and removed them from their
cellophane wrapper.  Next I cut these happy-colored dots and stripes patterned
papers from Echo Park Paper and layered two patterns together.


I found this adorable stamp set at Pretty Cute Stamps  and colored the image in
with Prismacolor pencils.  The cut-out images were layered with 3D Foam Adhesive 
and a cute bow with ribbon from May Arts!

You can see how I constructed these at the Scrapbook Adhesives Blog :)
Ciao!

Halloween Glitter & Washi Dots Treat Bag

Happy Sunday and better yet...Happy Fall!
It's finally hereeeee...the best time of the year!
This past week I shared this quick little 
HALLOWEEN TREAT BAG
over at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To a plain white paper sack, I've attached dots of washi tape and glitter.  
At Scrapbook Adhesives, this is what we call "wearing your adheisve on the outside"
I'll show you how I did it --HERE--
Glittered and embellished bags can be expensive, so this is a fantastic
alternative...especially if you're needing to make several!


For the closure, I decorated a large wooden clothespin (from Target Dollar Spot)
with paper scraps and die-cuts.  If you're looking for a matching design for your 
treat bags think about using stamps and dies to make your own die-cuts!

Again, see all of the tips & tricks for this project at Scrapbook Adhesives Blog.

So glad you stopped by!

Beautiful Birthday Shaker Card

Hello and welcome to my contribution to the 
SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES and HERO ARTS BLOG HOP


For my project, I have chosen to make this cute shaker birthday card!


Before we get started on the detail, here is a list of supplies that I've used:
From Scrapbook Adhesives: Keepsakes Envelope Mix (I used 4" X 3.5") Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4 in, Dual Tip Glue Pen, Crafty Foam Tape Black and the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Dots Refill.  From Hero Arts: Dress Up Stamp and Cut and Kelly's Flags Stamp & Cut

To begin, I added a few star sequins directly to the sticky part of the Keepsake Envelope.

Next I sprinkled some round sequins inside of the pocket.

I used the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4" to close up the pocket.

I cut a piece of patterned paper the same size as the pocket and mounted it to the sticky back of the pocket.  

After die-cutting the dress bottom from patterned paper, it was pleated along the score lines and then attached to the front of the girl with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

A square frame was die cut from cardstock and placed around the pocket with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4".  

To mount the framed pocket to the card, I used black Crafty Foam Tape.  

For the birthday girl, after stamping the image onto watercolor page with black Staz-On pink, I colored her in with watercolor pencils.  The sentiment was stamped onto patterned paper and then punched out with an oval punch.

I added more decorative elements by die-cutting two of the banners from Kelly's Flags Stamp & Cut.  

Here you can see all of the yummy, 3-D layers!


With this Blog Hop, both manufacturers will be giving away a total of $35 in product!

Paper Bits and Planner Clips

A very happy Sunday to you, my crafty friends!
Today I'm getting caught up on sharing some of my most recent projects for 
SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L

First up is a project that I made with planners in mind.  
You could certainly use these cuties on cards and scrapbook pages too though!



These are as easy as die-cutting a banner shape, folding it over a large paper clip
and embellishing!  I've used some of the fabulous Adhesive Foam Shapes (hearts, butterflies, etc.)
from SAB3L and topped them with silver micro beads that I've had  in my
stash foreverrrrr! The papers and most other embellishments are from Pebbles' Girl Squad Collection.  If you'd like to see exactly how I put these today, check out 
my blog post -->HERE<-- a="">

And the cuteness doesn't stop there :)
For my next project I grabbed another adorable collection from Pebbles: Patio Party.


Layers of yum!  Pom trim, sweet bows with a pom pom center and bitty kraft pieces
that were each machine stitched for some extra whimsy.  
I'd love it if you stopped by SAB3L blog and see more detailed photos
and steps of how I assembled these babies -->HERE<-- a="">

And since we're talking about Scrapbook Adhesives, we're having a 
BLOG HOP with HERO ARTS on June 19th and you won't want to miss it!

Hope you have a TERRIFIC week!

Marbleous Mini Album


Hello and Welcome to my contribution and Day #4 of the 

For my project I am sharing one of my very favorite mini albums to make:
"The One Sheet Mini"


And aren't these "Marbleous" papers and stickers from Paper House just
absolutely gorgeous!?!  You can view the PHP products that I've used -here-

To get started, score your 12X12 sheet of paper at 3", 6" and 9".  Flip the paper 90 degrees
and simply score in the middle at 6".

Next, cut the paper along the second 6" score line that you made, making sure
that you stop cutting when you come to the initial 3" score line.


Fold the paper along the score lines in an accordion style fold:
\(the sample below is using another paper)


Using the EZ Runner Grand and Ultra Permanent Adhesive, adhere the (looking at
the above photo for reference) second panel to the third, the middle (top hinged) panels
together and then the following two panels together.  Your front and back
panels will not be adhered to anything.

To add even more glitz, I used the Large Adhesive Dot and added them in a
dotted pattern over the background paper (see below):

I used a very fine gold glitter and sprinkled it over all of the exposed adhesive dots.

Next, I attached one of the 3X4 Journal Cards from the collection to the cover
with strips of the Crafty Foam Tape.


Look how pretty the front turned out :)  I even added a small pearl to the gold dots.

Here is a look at the inner pages:




Again you will find all of these gorgeous papers, stickers, and washi tapes at
Paper House Productions

Here is a little bit of info about the hop before you go:


Each manufacturer will offer three prize packages each for a total of six prizes.
International entries are welcome.
The contest will end 11:59 PM CST on Saturday (5/19).
Winners announced on Tuesday (5/22).

 **Enjoy the hop and all of the wonderful projects**

It's Loaded

So I tend to be late to the party and recently stumbled upon an idea
that has been around for a couple of years now...
The Loaded Envelope or Bag

I must admit that I'm a wee bit addicted to making these!
This first one was created for an assignment at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For a complete tutorial on how it was made, just hop on over to the blog
and have a peek :) --LOADED BAG PROJECT--

Here are a few more that I've added to my Etsy Shoppe:



Take a look around the SAB3L Blog to see some really cute projects!
