DT-St. Valentine Goodies

Dear scrappers,

This my  post for CraftWell:
We are back and ready to entertain you with new ideas and our favorite tricks.
For this month's post I made the goodie bags for my children' teachers and aids.

I used some Sizzix dies for the bookmarks and die cut several combinations using the SNAP machine:

I added a bookmark to each of the goodie bags:

In total I made 60 goodie bags, which was made a breeze by using the SNAP.

Steps:

1. I laminated one side of different printed cardstock from CTMH.

Here you can see one side is glossy (laminated) and the other is mate, ideal for stamping with regular inks: 

2. I was able to die cut the bookmarks in my car during my lunch breaks by using the SNAP, which can be recharged and the battery is super long lasting:

The SNAP made the die cutting of the laminated cardstock a breeze. The only drawback was that the one side only lamination makes the bookmark curl a little, Which can be corrected by putting the bookmark inside heavy books ;-)

3. Then, I stamped the back of the bookmarks using stamps from CTMH and inks from FSJ:

I also stamped my children names (CTMH, personalized stamp)

I also stamped plain dollar store goodie bags:

I hope you enjoyed this very simple and super easy to make gift for the teachers and visit my blog for further ideas:

CCC DT: Thank You Goodie Bags

Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Connie Can Crop: I made some goodie bags for my children teachers, that I created using this month's sponsor image: autumn-squirrel

I used some CTMH papers from my large stash and a Sizzix bag-topper die-set.

I made several versions:

Here is a close-up of the shaker tag (first time I made this type of tags), I made using this digital image:

The back side:

I also use:

Some CTMH stamps, inks, and the pumpkin nesting dies. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and decide to join us at Connie's, there is some time left for this month's challenge:

Design Team: PIO #117 - Autumn colors

Dear scrappers,

This is my second post as a designer for Pile It On Challenge Blog.

The Theme these next 2 weeks is: Autumn Colors

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Sponsor: Doodle Pantry 

Prize - 3 digital products of the winner's choice

Doodle Pantry is honoured and excited to be sponsoring Pile It On!  We have a nice variety of all styles of digital images at the shop  from the whimsical to realistic. If you've never worked with digital images before we also have a full freebies page! We look forward to seeing what everyone creates this week. We also invite you to join our Challenges.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I decided to used our sponsor's SVG file: Mini rounded tote TEMPLATE/SVG to prepare for all the goody bags I will make for this thanksgiving:

This cute owl is missing its tag still, but hopefully that will my next step.

This file was so easy to cut, I did 10 of the owls and some of the landscape (for next PIO challenge ;-))

I used papers from CTMH (printed and cardstock) and from My Mind's Eye (embossed honey comb).

I dry embossed the brown card stock using Anna Griffing's cart for the eyes and another company for the wheat for the wings. I added fall ribbon leaves for an accents and gold sequins for the pupils. 

I also embossed the goody bag handle using Anna's strip folder. The Doodle Pantry suggests that the back of the bag should be decorated, but I decided to be lacy and let it plain. Still cute, isn't it?

I hope you enjoyed this fun project and decided to Pile It On :-)

Many blessings
