Easter Chick Treat Sacks!

Hey, Trendy Peeps!!!

 

All month long we will be spotlighting the Watermelon Trendy Twine and Small Candy Sacks over on the Twine It Up w/ Trendy Twine blog!

 

The Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine is such a yummy flavor for Spring and Easter!

 

Here are some treat sacks that are sure to make anyone smile!

 

 

I filled my candy sacks up with Laffy Taffy flavored jelly beans. I made my tag using a retired file from Treasure Box Designs. The Easter chick is from the shirt front of the little boy in the Bobble Buddies Easter file. (It was once a freebie, so you might have it stashed somewhere on your computer.) The tag itself is from a set of tags I found in the Silhouette store and then I gave it an offset layer in my software. After cutting my tag and the pieces for my chick; I inked, chalked, and used my gel pen on the pieces to add dimension. The chick is attached to the tag using foam squares.

 

 

The then tied my sacks shut using a piece of the trendy twine and then threaded my tag onto it and finished it off with a bow. Now that all the preliminary work is done, this treat sack will take about 5 minutes reproduce. Super easy if you are making several for class parties and such. Like I said, the chick I used is retired; so just find a file with only a few pieces and give this project a try.

 

Thanks for stopping in today as always!

I invite you to stop by my  Facebook and Pinterest pages as well.

 

And next Saturday (3/21) you will definitely want to come by for a visit. I'll be having a giveaway here and on my Facebook page. There will be two prizes. And I have a sneak peek of one of them for you right now. I'll be giving away a Watermelon Taffy Mini Trendy Twine set.

 

 

Alrighty then, see you soon!!!

 

Blessings,

A Chick and His Peep!

I have another set of Easter Gable Boxes to share with you today!

 

A Chick and His Peep!!!

 

 

The chick is part of a Silhouette store file called Easter Bunny w/ Chicks (#76255). The peep is not included in the file, but one can easily be found. I took a gable box (2 1/2" W x 4"L x 5" H) from Annie's Paper Boutique - Home of Trendy Twine - and added four panels around the bottom. The paper I used is from Doodlebug Design's Hello Spring 12x12 paper pack. I then wrapped my box three times using Tickled Pink Trendy Twine, threaded a button onto it, and then tied a bow. The chick was then added using foam squares. The tag was stamped using the Happy Easter stamp from Verve Stamps. This is a great stamp company. I definitely have a wish list for their store. I also cut another peep and used foam squares to attach it as well. The tag was tied to the box using two more pieces of the Tickled Pink Trendy Twine.

 

I am so glad you stopped in today to take a peek at my gable box. I hope you will leave a comment. I truly enjoy reading them. And I hope you will give some gable boxes a try. I would enjoy seeing your creations as well. You can also find my projects on  Facebook and Pinterest. Have a wonderful day!!!

St. Patty's Bear!

I have super fun news! I have joined the Treasure Box Designs DT. This super fun and very easy card is my first DT post. I'm excited about the new adventure!

 

I have used the Fall Bear from the $1.00 section of the store. I just swapped his fall leaf for a shamrock. I also made him to sit down instead of stand up.

 

 

I always start my cards by putting them together in my Cameo DE software first. I like to get an idea of what they will look like before I even start cutting. And if I don't like what I see on the screen, I usually just scrap the idea or fiddle around with it until I do like it. I decided I wanted my bear to sit instead of stand; so when virtually piecing it together, I just changed up the right and left leg so that the feet would point up. I then removed the fall leaf, found a shamrock, and sized it to fit the way I liked it. Once I was happy on the screen, I cut a piece of #110 white cardstock to make a 4 1/2" square base. I added a background paper from Teresa Collin's Christmas Cottage paper collection. I cut my bear and pieced him together and popped him on the card using foam squares. I then tied my Twisted Lime Trendy Twine around the bottom and stamped on my sentiment. I found the sentiment in a dollar bin last year at a LSS store.

 

 

For added dimension on my bear, I used inks, chalks, and my gel pen. The little extras give the piecings a bit more character!

 

I'm so glad you stopped by today! I hope you will leave a comment as I truly appreciate them and enjoy reading them. You can also find my cards and other projects on my Facebook and Pinterest pages.

Crayon Fun!

I have spent a year designing with My Scrap Chick and I am sad to say it is time to say, "Farewell." Today will be my last post as a DT member for this wonderful company.

 

But I have this super fun project to end with!

 

This crayon box is the sweetest. It would make a great teacher gift for teacher appreciation or the end of the school year. You can buy the 3D Crayon Box here. I reduced the size of mine down to 75% of the original file. The tops open up and they can be stuffed with all kinds of goodies. The bases measure just about 2" in diameter. They are about 10" tall from bottom to point, but the actual box is only about 7 3/4" tall.

 

These 4 are red, blue, yellow, and green; but my daughter is begging me to make her one in pink! You know what I will be doing soon! LOL! I used American Craft cardstock to make these.

 

I haven't had a chance to list these yet, but they will be for sale in my Etsy shop. If you are interested, the boxes are 1 for $4 plus shipping or 4 for $12 plus shipping. Please leave a comment here or send me a PM through my FB page.

 

Thank you for stopping by today. I truly appreciate you and I enjoy your comments. You can also find me on Facebook and Pinterest.

 

Blessings,
