Happy Sunday!

I’m bored, and thought I would post a how to on how I made my gift bag from yesterday!

For Supplies:  {everything I used came from WalMart or friends}
1 sheet Designer Paper
2 (8.5 x 11) Solid Cardstock (mine is very similar to SU! Almost Amethyst)
1 - 3×4.25in white cardstock
Bunnys BakeryBag Templates (coming soon!)
Alpha Beads
pearls
Button
Bling
thread
Ribbon *2 colors*
Stamps (mine were from HERO ARTS, and Inkadinkadoo)
Ink (Silver was Encore, blue was noname)
2 sided tape
craft Glue
Paper Trimmer
Scissors
Craft knife
Bone Folder
glue dot minis
Craft Wire

The easiest way to use my templates I think, is to just print out the instructions and  cut them out (Below).  Then trace them on the paper your wanting to cut out…

Then I layered the template on top of my cut out card stock, and used my bone folder to trace/score the FOLD LINES.

Then I folded in the glue strips on the templates out of the way, and had the proper sizing for the decorative paper.  again, just traced and trimmed.

adhered one side with double sided tape.

Adhered the decorative paper, and since I had so much left over (I was using 12×12 sheets) I added another layer of solid cardstock.  This also helped to reinforce the “lid”

I added my ribbon, and the white cardstock and stamped my sentiment and butterflies.  Then I made my “sweet” bead string and attached it with glue dots.  Not sure where I got those.

I then tied my bow, and sewed it on with the button.  Once it was attached, I glued on some gemmy blingy thingy I had gotten in the bead dept at walmart!

Here’s the underside, you can see the little bit of thread there.  I think the next one I make, I will line the ENTIRE inside with decorative paper…

and here’s the finished project.  The finished bag is 6 1/2 inches tall, 4 and a half inches across the front, and 1 and 3/4 inches thick.  Great for cookies, candies, etc….

Anyhoo, my template will be available as soon as my testers get back to me!  I wanted to make sure it was usable for beginners, paper people, and digi people too!

Have a great Sunday!

Not a lot of time to post tonight, Im tired!

I have spent the weekend finishing up some new templates, and I decided to test them out before showing them to anyone!

So I spent the day today, assembling what I am calling a “bakery bag”  because I based them on the little bags my donut holes come in!

So I’ll be making more posts about the templates and how to use them later in the week, but I wanted to go ahead and post this now.

I thought it would be fun to have a little contest!  All you have to do to enter is post a comment here, linking me to one of your craft projects you’re proud of!  Please make sure where ever you are linking me to has a picture of your project and a supply list!

When I wake up on Friday morning(October 3rd) , I will pick a random comment, and that person will win my example bag (above)!  Make SURE you include your email address so I can contact you if win to get your mailing address!   I might even stuff it with some YUMMY Goodness!

Thats right boys and girls, ladies and gents, and you somewhere in betweens…. TODAY IS PICTURE DAY! 

Talk about a whirl wind of a morning!

Bug left hating me, because the dress I made her a while back STILL hasnt had the zipper fixed so she could not wear it today.  My munchkin was not pleased.

We did her hair several different styles before she was satisfied with it, and she announced it wasnt her hair that she was unhappy with… it was the ugly GREEN.  Green, apparently, is the most disgusting color in the rainbow. Too bad its mommy’s favorite!   LOL…

I however think she looked wonder-mous, little loose teeth and ALL!

HAPPY PICTURE DAY NONEY-BUG!

I got the kids off to school and was going to go back to bed when my BFF Sandy busted in and kidnapped me!  She MADE me go shopping with her.  UGH!!!  I hate shopping!!!!!!!!
