Glassine cookie bag gifts

I made some homemade spritz cookies and wanted a way to give these buttery goodies so I used a glassine bag to put them in and then added a simple ornament tag I made with spellbinders dies and a candy cane.They were very fast and simple to do.I almost forgot I added a little sparkle with a rhinestone.
  Thanks for stopping and I hope this give you a fun and fast idea to wrap up some buttery treats of your own.

Finally a challenge card done

 I have not posted in quite awhile and here is why. We have had a student from France with us for 5 weeks and now our 15 year old is off to France for 5 weeks this is through the Rotary program.Great program if you ever want your kids to explore another country.
  I made this card for JustRites color challenge. I used stamps from Botanical Medallions and banners and the Nested medallion labels die set. I used momento ink and Copic markers to color the flowers.The back ground ( elegant fronds) was stamped with a versa color ink. I sponged around the medallion and the card front with the yellow ink to make them pop a bit.I cut out the flowers and had stamp one other set which I cut out the center of 2 flowers and one whole flower to pop up and give a 3 dimensional look.
It is a soft delicate looking card a bit different from my style I hope you like it.
 Hope your summer is going well and you find time to play.

From the Heart....

 These are some little goodies I did for my daughters yourth group leaders for Valentines Day. I die cut some fun flower paper from Doodlebug designs called Lovebirds using a spellbinders large scalloped oval die.I stamped the saying circle from Raisin Boats TeaTime Treats with red ink and the fun heart from Raisin Boats Playing Cupid stamp set. I die cut this with a small scalloped circle die and then I edged it as well as the folded large scalloped oval with red ink on a sponge.
   These were fast and easy and so bright and cheery. A little something to show how much we appreciate all our youth group leaders do for our kids.
   Thanks for stopping.

JustRite challenge anything goes card 2

I played around with the flowers in the Botanical medallions and banners set and loved the way the spellbinders lattes rectangle looked with this flower.I always love gingham and it seemed to work well with this card.I love the cheery vibe this card has, I hope it inspires you to play with some of the pattered papers you have in your stash.

Honey Bee Valentine

    
Here is a fun and fast Valentine card. The stamp is from a fun Valentine stamp set over at Raisin Boat called Wild about your Honey! I simply stamped the heart shaped bee hive with Grey Flannel ink by Momento and the bee's,colored them with Copic markers. I die cut it with a spellbinders circle die and then die cut a grey mat to go under it.I punched the border from the same grey paper with a Fiskars border punch.I embossed the pretty pink paper with the fun x and o embossing folder by Sizzix.( My new favorite) I put it all together on the card and then stamped Happy Valentines Day on the bottom right corner and I was done.I hope you like the pink and grey together it was a bit out side of my box but I am loving it now.
     Have a great day and find some time to play with your Valentine stamps.

Funky spider web treat holders

 This is another treat bag holder I did.this time is used one of Raisin Boats funky spider web from the stamp set Eerie Night to make my own background. Be sure to put scrap paper under it so you can stamp off the edge. I also added some spiders. I stamped the tag and die cut it with a spellbinders die. These are really easy and fast to do.
I hope you like this one.
