now it's time to show you what I made - kaleidoscope of butterflies!!

I googled what a group of butterflies is called, and one of the options is a kaleidoscope and I love that! so sweet!

these are actually pretty simple treats to create! I used some swirly twirly lollipops as the bodys. and I die cut out the wings with the Heart Frames Die Set! 

 
I used vellum, flocked paper for texture and the Springtime, Love & Meows, Love & Woofs and Love & Chocolate paper pads! I attached the smaller, scalloped wing to the larger stitched wing by sewing them together with my sewing machine!

I die cut out the tags with the Banner Trio Die Set from light pink paper. and heat embossed the phrase from Heartfelt Butterflies!

Newton's Nook Designs Sweet Treats Blog Hop 2021

hello!
I'm so excited to celebrate another year with the Sweet Treats Blog Hop!

Newton's Nook Designs 7th Annual Sweet Treats Blog Hop!
The Newton's Nook Designs Team is hopping along today to share some great Sweet Treats - just in time for Valentines day! Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole list and hop along and comment for a chance to win!

yay!
now it's time to show you what I made - some sweet little pie treats!! ha!
I combined some Valentine's Day and love sets with a Thanksgiving stamp set - LOVE being able to combine and use sets that are usually for one 'season' for use in a completely different season! so fun!

I cut out some triangles from dark cranberry-like cardstock, red, pink and soft kraft! then I cut strips of a kraft cardstock and folded them over and over to create the ridges on the crust of the puppies! I used some Distress Oxide  Inks to ink blend subtly on the edges (Worn Lipstick, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Spun Sugar). then I splattered the same colors on top for some texture!

I attached the 'crusts' with glue dots, and then stamped my pie images from the Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set! I colored them all in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

I also combined some phrases from Newton's Thanksgiving and Heartfelt Roses for the custom "Pie Love You" phrase! and used the Happy Valentines phrase from Love Bites! I heat embossed them in either white or black, and then die cut them out with the Banner Trio Die Set! I punched a hole in one end and then used some twine to attach the tags to the crust!

then I attached the kitty and various pie images to the tags and then used the Hershey Kisses as the 'whip cream' or 'ice-cream' on top of the pie! so sweet and cute, right?

Reverse Confetti February 2018 Blog Hop!

good morning and welcome!
today is the Reverse Confetti February Blog Hop!!

you'll want to start at the Reverse Confetti blog, get all the details, then start your hop!! 

for today's hop, I created a cute little treat bag filled with chocolate chip cookies!! mmmm!

I created that background with lots and lots of watercoloring! ha! layers on layers! 
then I die cut out the Falling Hearts Panel about 8 times...no lie! 5 times with white cardstock to build the layers. then, once with the mint patterned paper from the Forever My Love 6x6 paper pad and another time out of the black and white paper! 

then I cut out the hearts and layered them randomly!

the sentiment is from the Heart Filled Sentiments stamp set! everything just works SO well together!
everything was then layered on top of a glycene bag from my stash!! SO fun!! 

again, make sure you hop along to all of the blogs! :)

hey hey!

i'm back! and this time, it's not with a card! *gasp* i know! :)

i am over on the create a smile stamps blog sharing a treat bag! yay!! i know lots of people like to make treat bags, especially around halloween, so i thought i'd give it a whirl too! we're still going stong with the collaboration with Wycinanka, and i have to tell you, i'm JUST as much in love with their products! 

so here it is: 

yay!

i used that cute frog from jungle fever and colored him with distress markers! he he! and then i took that tongue image and covered it with glossy accents, to add shine! and speaking of shine, there's also some splattered mr huey's SHINE mist too! ha!

alright, to learn more about how i made this treat bag, head on over to the create a smile stamps blog! 

see you there! :)

enjoy!

lawnscaping challnege - tags or treat bags

i hope everyone had a wonderful, family-filled and relaxing thanksgiving (if you're in the states, that is!). 
we're on our way back to south carolina today, and we're hoping to skip the traffic! lol!
in more exciting news - it's time for a new lawnscaping challenge! yahoo!!

and this is a super fun challenge - it's all about making bags or tags! how fun! and perfect for this time of year!

i decided to make a treat bag! i had a few ideas and they all came together like magic! lol!
i thought, wouldn't it be fun to have a rainbow yeti bringing sunshine to someone in need!
so that's what i did!

i paper pieced the yeti from yeti set go with some super FUN, bright and cheery papers!! then i popped him up on a handmade tag which i stuck on a slanted heart shaped doily!! super fun, right?!

 
i tied another twine bow at the bottom and stuck in some yellow pins (never used those before...but i have a ton! why?! lol!) i stamped the sentiment onto a banner from bannerific which i outlined with a copic and vwa-la! all done!

i think this is a super cute bag, and i love those little yellow gumballs of sunshine!

i hope this brightened your day, and inspired you to try your hand at creating a bag or tag for this challenge and for even more inspiration (if you can stand it!), check out the lawnscaping facebook page! we're dedicated to keeping your creative juices flowing! :)

get your patterned paper on and you could win a gift certificate to simon says stamp! hello!!

lawnscaping challenge guest designer!

i am beyond honored and excited and (and nervous!) to be a guest designer at the lawnscaping challenge!!

i still can't believe it! the challenge this time is super fun - to make a tag or treat bag! awesome!! i love being able to use my lawn fawn stamps for a project other than a card!

so, here are my bags.

first the fronts:

i created the bags using standard card envelops, how fun is that? if you're curious as to how i did that, here's a video tutorial (from the hero arts blog) that shows you the steps!

then the backs:

i used lawn fawn's 'making frosty friends', 'critters in the forest', 'pa-rum-pa-pum-pum', 'frosties', and 'cozy christmas'. i love mixing all of the stamp sets together! all of which were paper-pieced! i wanted to make these gift bags for christmas, but not with the traditional colors!

the pink bag was clear embossed with the hero arts 'magical background' cling (the same stamp was used for the other bag too!). fun note i discovered with the snow pen i have - if you sprinkle glitter on it before you heat it to make it puff up, the glitter stays - hence my sparkly snow on the white/blue bag!

so those are my bags! thanks so much for stopping by, and don't forget to participate in the challenge at lawnscaping!!
