Frosty the Snowman

We've all seen these little Snowman treat bags floating around-they are so cute! I made a batch of them up this week for the members of my Stamp Club for Christmas. I filled each one with some hot cocoa packets and some Christmas candy.

This uses the Fancy Favor die and the Top Note die, which are my two favorite dies for the Big Shot machine. There are so many endless possibilities using just these two dies! Love them!

Happy Halloween!

This past weekend was full of Halloween festivities. We hosted a Halloween party at our house on Saturday, so I decided to make candy favors for all of the guests to take home with them. The fancy favor die makes perfect goody bags and you can run them through the Big Shot in a flash. I added a dash of color with the extra line of DSP at the top of the bags. I also used the handy-dandy textured impressions spider web embossing folder to emboss the napkins for they party--they turned out great!

Just Believe Workshop Projects

Yesterday I showed you the simple Make-n-Take card and the stepped up version for the "Just Believe" projects that I've used at my August workshops. Today I will feature the 3D Fancy Favor treat box and scrapbook layout that I created to coordinate with the cards.

The Fancy Favor box was so simple to create in mere minutes using my favorite friend, the Big Shot. It's the perfect little goody box to hold treats, money, jewelry, gift cards, etc.

The scrapbook layout uses pictures of me and my friends from Convention last year: Nikki Bond, (me), Amy LaSpisa, Deidre Mooney (my upline), Marci Horn, and Claudia Perry.

To take the layout up a notch, I used the Color Spritzer Tool to add some interest in the background. Now, I'll be honest, I have a love/hate relationship with my Color Spritzer Tool--the first few weeks that I had it, I couldn't get the silly thing to work! I was so frustrated because I'd seen so many other Demos using it and the effect was so darn cool! So low-and-behold one of the Make-n-Takes at convention required the use of the silly Color Spritzer Tool. Thankfully, my new friends showed me that I just have to squeeze the tool a little harder to get the ink to spray! Of course, it was user error and now I just love it! :) Such a cool effect...
