It's a FUN FRIDAY at Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz

I have the MOST fun when

I'm making treat bags!

Today I'm sharing with you a 

simple yet fun idea for making

Valentine treats for the office,

school, neighbors, or just anyone

you want to give a SWEET little gift.

Who doesn't love OREO cookies???

I found these cute little treat bags

in the dollar bin at Target last year.

I had to buy them hoping I would find something

cute to add in them.  That OREO cookie

commercial got me and even though

I couldn't find the Red Velvet Oreos,

these looked pretty good!

Five cookies fit nicely in the 

bag and I made a bag topper out

of two 4x4 sheets of designer paper.

My sentiment comes from the

HAPPY DAYS stamp set

from Bella Creationz.  This set 

covers ALL your needs with

every sentiment you could 

possibly need.

I added a die cut heart and stamped a 

Peachy Keen Face stamp to add a

little personality.  I topped it off with 

Strawberry Cupcake Timeless Twine and Clear

sequins from Bella Creationz.

It's time for your FUN FRIDAY project!

Don't forget your stamp set!

Cardztv 3D Challenge - 3 Small Tags!

First let me begin by saying

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope you all had a wonderful time with

family and friends and that you felt

the abundance of God's blessings.  My

husband and I spent the day with my oldest

son, his wife and two boys.  It was a great day!

I can get used to NOT being the hostess for all these

holidays.  It felt great to go to someone else's home

and share in the chores and cooking.

My DIL Carrie did a wonderful job

on the food and preparations for this

special day.  I'm so lucky - she is AWESOME!

Now onto the newest challenge

from Cardztv!  I love tags and I was

really excited when Mary announced this

was our challenge.    I never used to make

tags, but recently have found that I can create

them and have as much fun as I do

in making cards.

Here are my three tags!  Love them!

I found a shape in the Silhouette store and I 

wanted the shape to be curly at the top so 

it would look like a hat.

I also used the fill page feature and cut

out an entire sheet of 12x12 paper of these tags.

To finish off the tag, I glued another tag

on the back to hide all of the twine I wrapped

around for the hat.  I like the finished look

I am having a hard time uploading videos so I 

took a few pictures as I was creating the tags.

I used painter's tape and masked each tag

from where I wanted to create the colored

hat.  The next two photos show how

I used the new Tim Holtz mini distress inks

to color the hats.  BTW - I love the little

inkers!  I can see myself using these

now instead of the bigger ones.

You also see a "craft mat" that I have my tags

taped on.  This mat makes it so simple

to ink and clean up the mess!

Who doesn't love Peachy Keen Stamps????

I like the bigger sets so I can choose the

size I need based on what I'm creating.

I picked out three different snowman faces

to create my tags.  I then colored the nose with

my Copic markers and used chalk on the

eyes and nose.  I love the dimension.

I used two sets of Cardztv Stamps

SNOW DAY & CHRISTMAS JOY

I love how you can mix Mary's

stamps together!

Here again are the final design.  I had to add

some sequins!  Love the sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by!  Join us in this 

challenge for a chance to win a set of 

Cardztv Stamps.

Dates: November 28 - December 11

I can't wait to see your creations!
