APB Release Day 3 - Peppermint Icicle Sequins

Hello!  I'm back over on the Trendy Twine blog with another sneak peek project with the "This is December #2" stamp set, Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine and some gorgeous Peppermint Icicle Sequins which will be released on Friday.  Such a beautiful color combination which inspired me to create this holiday treat set.

My project started with a plain gift bag which was embellished with some fun holiday papers.  I created a couple of shaker tags using a Christmas Tree from the Tags Bags Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge. The Peppermint Icicle Sequins were tucked inside for a fun shaker element.  These tags were tied onto the gift bag with the twine however can easily be removed from the gift bag and to be repurposed.  I stamped a sentiment from the new "This is December 2" stamp set on a scalloped circle and adhered it to the gift bag.

A tube of treats was tucked inside the gift bag which was embellished to coordinate with the bag.  I simply punched another scalloped circle with the same sentiment and adhered it with some twine and coordinating paper.

The second treat box was created with a Clear Box and a belly band which was topped off with a Christmas Tree.  A few fun sequins and another sentiment from the new stamp set was tied on with some twine.  A mini card was the last element to my holiday treat set, it is the perfect size to tuck into the gift bag.

All of these products will be in the store on Friday, October 21st!  Don't forget to head over to the Trendy Twine blog this entire week to check out the sneak peek projects.  Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Baby Layout

Today I am very excited to share my first post as a KaDoodle Bug Designs team member.  I am honored to be joining such talented designers and look forward to playing with some amazing files from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

For my project, I created a single page 12x12 layout for a picture of my new nephew who was just born last month.  I used the Cutesy Zoo Animals (elephant) and ABC Blocks (title) files from KaDoodle Bug Designs. The clouds were cut from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge.

I used my white gel pen to add some faux stitching around this sweet little elephant.  Some Stormy Trendy Twine was wrapped around the photo mat and used for the bows.  A few scattered gems were added as an accent.

The "dream big" die cut is a coordinating piece from the Craft Smith Little One paper pad which was used for my layout.  I tucked in the die cut behind one of the clouds to give the appearance of a sun rising above the clouds.  The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms Picture Perfect stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my first KaDoodle Bug Designs project.  I am looking forward to sharing many more creations with you!
