Scrappin' the Details

SRM Sticker Design Team {Kraft Pillow Box}

 Good morning, my friends! Today, I am so excited to share with you that I am a part of theSRM Stickers Design Team! While at the CHA show in January,( was it January?), I was blown away by all the new product! I will admit it only took the simple white doily to draw me into their booth! SRM has so much to offer, and it is all about DIY. Take a simple package, and you can add your own details to make it into something special!

Here is a simple kraft pillow box, already diecutted for you!  All I did was add a few details, to call it my own.

SRM Pillow Box:

 

The pillow box above comes bare, and is perfect, as is. However, I am all about the details, so I ran it through an embossing folder to add instant texture! It is the perfect size to tuck a gift card, love note, or something sweet! I love anything kraft, so to find these, makes me happy.

 

 

On top of the pillow box, I adorn it with the simple white doily. I need to order more of these, soon! On top of the doily is a lace ribbon I had in my stash. Gives this box an instant feminine touch! I layered on top of the ribbon, a vellum scallop, and finish the top with a rosette. I  cut this rosette out of text paper I had on hand.  I think it is by Bazzill. I added another vellum circle, and finished it with a bit of stamping. I am all about adding layers, just because.

 

I added a gift tag to this pretty package, and embossed it, too! Why not? My sizzix was out! I layered the white tag with more text paper used in making the rosette, and my sentiment is a sticker!! Yes, that is right! Looks like stamping, to me. However, it is a clear sticker, and was the perfect final detail to this pillow box. 

Hope you enjoyed this pretty little box, and I look forward to sharing more creations using SRM products! Thank you Susan for having me!

Happy Monday {Owl Card with Cricut}

Happy Monday!

Just wanted to pop in with a bit of Monday inspiration, as we begin the new week. I came across this card as I was browsing my library. This Cricut shape was actually one of my favorites from the Wild Card 2 Cartridge. For this shape alone, I know I cannot bear to part with my Cricut.

The owl looks absolutely adorable sitting on the branch! I cut the owl out of patterned paper, and embossed a few details on him. I stamped  the sentiment on a white tag, and hung it from his eyeglasses. Super cute image, and will have to make more of him soon!

Have a fabulous day my friends!

 

Crazy about chipboard {Crate Paper}

Happy Monday morning!

I am on my way to work, but wanted to share that I have a blog post all about chipboard, on the Crate paper blog! I love the 12x12 chipboard sheet found in the Story Teller collection, and Pretty Party.  Today, I will share 5 ways on how you can get more out these versatile shapes. Above, is a sneak peek of one of the five tags/mini paper sacks, I created. I hope you will join me on the Crate Paper Blog. See you there!

Love is in the air {Valentine's Tag Class}

Today, I am wrapping up the small details on my classes at Timeless Treasures. I love creating tags with all sorts of textures, and bringing out my favorite "valentine's" stamps. Here is a peek of one out of the twelve tags, we will be creating in class:

Love this flower die, and it is perfect cut out of felt. I have two more classes also planned in the next two months. One is a mini album, and the other is simply dressing paper bags into something special. I will share them soon.

If you are in the area, join us at Timeless Treasures tonight from 6:30pm-8pm. You do not want to miss what the instructors have planned for the next quarter.

Back to my desk, and have a fabulous day! 

Bag of Christmas Tags on the Blvd. {Bella}

Today, on the Bella Blog I shared some fun Christmas tags with Bella's Christmas Wishes collection. I love giving tags as a hostess gift, and I also enjoy creating tags for my children's presents. Christmas wishes is full of happy colors, and who would not love to see this merry color palette under the tree?

details:

Here is a closer look at the bag I created. I thought this was a cute size to tuck them into. On the front I used a white doily that I cut the inside circle from, and layered it with a circle, punched from vellum. Of course, I added a bit of embossing using a snowflake embossing folder. Then just simple embellishments round out this bag. I used the adorable chipboard reindeer, stickers, and white seam binding. I attached a mini jingle bell from the bow with a safety pin.

A look at the three tags I created:

I really love the simplicity of this one. I used the journaling spots from the cute cuts paper, as the base for all of my Christmas tags. Here I rounded the corners, and used my new punch for a few touches. I love the three circles on the front, and the star element as the final detail to the tag.

Here I used a little bit of this & that to create a tag full of texture, and dimension. Again, the tree is a cute cut, that I cut to fit onto the tag. I embellsihed it with a sweet candy cane, and a dec. 25 circle that was inked with one of Bella's miniature stamp sets. Another glittered star, and gorgeous silver seam binding finish the tag at the top.

 

My final tag created with all traditional Christmas colors. The white satrburst circle underneath the green scallop is the circle cut from the inside of the white doily, used on the first tag. I used some border strips, and more stamping to finish the bottom of the tag.

I have discovered in the last year, that I love designing tags for any time of the year. I hope to begin working on 14 new Valentine's tags this weekend. I will share a peek of a few of them, once they are done. They are part of a class I will be teaching in January.

Have a very merry weekend, and thank you for stopping by!
