This is For You!

As I eluded to in yesterday's blog - I will be having surgery on my right foot on January 23rd.  In the meantime I have been prepping projects to work on while I sit around recovering.  I'm told as of now, there will be 3 full weeks of absolutely NO WEIGHT BEARING.  If you know me at all you know that I am NOT a sit-around kinda gal so this could be challenging.
One of the projects I cut was some cute little treat bags that I can use for the craft sales next fall.  I made a coordinating card with some scraps left over and already had need to sell it as a gift card holder.

A quick and easy treat bag I saw by Sam Donald aka Pootles.  You can also follow her on Pinterest, she has great ideas and a lot of little boxes and treat holders.

The Designer Paper is CANDY CANE LANE but sadly it is all sold out, but there are tons of great stamps and accessories on the YEAR END CLOSEOUTS

The stamp is called TIN OF TAGS and you can find it on the YEAR END CLOSEOUTS.

Paper Pumpkin Treat Pouch

A group of gals from the Red Hot Stampers got together to make up some alternate ideas using the Paper Pumpkin Kit from June.  The projects that we came up with were compiled into a PDF that goes out exclusively to our Paper Pumpkin Subscribers.  You can receive the Exclusive PDF of Paper Pumpkin ideas as well if you are a subscriber under me.  Please Click HERE for my Private Link to subscribe.
The next day I made up a few more alternate ideas that I will share with all of you.
I started with this little Chickie Treat Pouch.

I filled the triangle bag with Mini M&M's and sealed it with Tear 'n Tape and Glue Dots.
I cut down one of the Mint Macron bags to 4 1/4 inches using the zig zag blade on my Rotary Cutter (any edge would be fine)

 It's the perfect size to fit a home baked cookie!

 I decided to step-it-up and add eyelashes and a handle.

I tried a yellow beak but I really prefer the colorful orange beak best.
The eyes and wings are from the NEW Layering Circle Framelits and the 1/2" Circle Punch.  The White Gel Pen is perfect for adding highlights to the eyes.
The embossing folder that I used is called PETAL BURST
After cutting down the Mint bag I was left with a band.  My friend, and fellow Red Hot Stamper, Donne, showed me that it would make a perfect napkin ring. I didn't doll it up at all, but it could be jazzed up and personalized with some of the stamps and embellishments included in the kit.

So now that I separated all those M&M's what else will I do?  Well... Gluten Free Cookies of course. 

I used the brown M&M's instead of chocolate chips.

Silhoutte Treats

Remember this card we made at this months Stamp A Stack using the Sentimental Silhouettes Hostess Level 1 Stamp Set?


Well, I had these retired mini tag cards sitting around and was wondering what I could use them for. So I made these up to match this card, stuck a Ghiradelli treat inside and I think it will be a great addition to my craft table this year.


I even did a color match using the Raspberry filled flavor. YUMMO!!

Have a Blessed Day!

Red Hat Ladies

A friend asked if I could make up some treats for her Red Hat Ladies group. I have done a few things in the past for her, and now she wanted to treat her friends again. After receiving this card from Glenda when I promoted to Manager...


I asked her if I could borrow the stamp for this project for the Red Hat Ladies (not to be confused with the Red Hot Stampers, of course!!)





We filled them with treats of Valentine Heart Candy, Hershey Kisses and Lip Gloss.

Sure hope all her Red Hat Ladies liked them!!

Happy Stamping!!
