Leslee's Birthday Bag

Good Morning everyone, today I wanted to share with you a cute little bag that I filled with just a few fun goodies like some crafty embellishments, gum, body spray, etc.. for a friend of mine. We recently went to lunch together to celebrate both of our Birthdays, and I surprised her with this little bag! 

The bag came from a pad by Colorbok called Create A Box. It has a bunch of pre-cut and scored bags and boxes.  I used some Ranger Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to blend in and soften the edges of the box and then I embellished the bag with a stamp and die set from Sizzix & Lori Whitlock. I used my MISTI to stamp the images in Versamark, applied white embossing powder from Stampendous, then heat set with my heat gun from Darice. I used some watercolors to paint my images. I cut out the images with the coordinating dies using my Cuttlebug. To finish it off I applied some Crystal Clear & Marshmallow Sequins from PPP using Ranger Multi Medium Matte and then tied a bow at the top to give it that extra touch.

I tried to give links to most of my supplies, a lot of them are linked to the manufacturer but you can also buy most of them from Simon Says Stamp or Amazon.

Thank you for visiting today, I hope you have a fun and crafty day!

Happy Birthday to Emily and Gracie

My daughter helped me make these Birthday Goodie bags for her twin friends. They invited her to their party last Saturday.  I whipped these up that morning with some help from my daughter. She told me to make them the same but different because that's the way the twins are.  This is what we came up with, and we filled them with some treats, chapstick, and hair ties. 

Supplies:

TBBM cartridge

Pink and Purple paper from my stash

Sei Patterned paper

Bazzill marshmallow cardstock

Close to my Heart " Cutie Pie" stamp set

Fiskars: Birthday Bash & Cupcakes and More stamp sets

Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black inks

Promarkers to color cupcakes

Stampedous Detail White embossing powder

Pink and Purple ribbon from my stash

Stickes and Wink of Stella 

Velcro

Birthday Goodie Bags #7, #8, and #9

Today I am going to share even more Birthday Goodie Bags.  I make these every year for our soccer team.  We had about 15 girls on our team this last season. I really like how many of them turned out, I hope you do too!

I used the TBBM cartridge for the purse

Paper is from Doodlebug, the balloon is a die cut that I had in my stash. The stamp is from Stampin' Up embossed with some blue embossing powder.  I used a blue marker to sguiggle the balloon string. I used Colorbox blue ink for the shading around the edges.  The blue ribbon is from my stash also.

This one was really pretty simple.  Paper is from Doodlebug, ribbon from my stash, stamp and ink from Stampin' up, flower punched with an old EK Success punch. I put a blue brad in the flower to finish it off. TBBM cartridge used to make the purse.

This bag was made using a stamp and espresso embossing powder from Stampin' Up.  A brown marker for the dots, ribbon from my stash, and paper from an SEI-Happy Day paper pad. Oh, and cut using the TBBM cartridge.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, I hope you enjoyed looking at my projects! I have just a few more bags to share and then I can show you what I made for Teacher Appreciation (that was months ago).

Soccer Team Birthday Bags #4, #5, and #6

Good morning to everyone out there.  Today I have a snippet of time to post these bags before I have to get to work on my inventory for my booth.  All these bags were really fun to make, and they were all cut using the TBBM cartridge.

For this red one I used a stamp set from TPC studio to make all the little circles. The other two stamps of the hat and the sentiment are from Stampin' Up.  The scalloped cirlce came from either a Stampin' Up punch or the mini-monograms cart (I can't remember which).  Then I used a white gel pen for the white dots.

The Sentiment stamp is from Fiskars-Cupcakes and More stamp set.  I believe I heat embossed the stamp and the chipboard buckle with some blue embossing powder that I got at a yard sale so I don't know what company it comes from.  The blue shading ink is from Stampin' Up, and ribbon from my stash.

I used the Stampin' Up punches for both the Scalloped Circle and the sentiment, both stamps are also from Stampin' Up.  I used  some embossed paper on the sides and the pool party ink over the emobossed paper and I also used the Pool Party embossing powder for the two stamps. Silver stickles are around the scalloped circle and I used some old silver twine/string to wrap around the bag.  I used some little gems on the sides of the sentiment punch.  The ribbon is from American Crafts.

I hope you enjoyed my creations today and I have many more to share with you.  I have still been taking pictures of everything as I have been completing all of my projects.  Thank you for visiting and come back soon! Don't forget to leave a comment and tell me what you think!

Birthday Bags #1, #2 and #3

Here are a few of the birthday bags I made for my soccer girls this year.  Sorry I haven't posted for a while. life is just crazy!  All the bags were cut from the TBBM cartridge.

For the first bag I used a chipboard embellishment from imaginesce.  The scalloped circle and the stamp are from Stampin' Up. I used white embossing powder from Stampedous and pink Stickles for some sparkle.  

Scalloped circle, stamp and ink are Stampin' Up. Stickles for the glitter. Black glitter paper is from Coordinations, patterned paper is from my stash.

Paper is from the Colorbok Confetti paper pad, Stamp is from Close to my Heart. I used white embossing powder and the ribbon is from the $1 bin at JoAnn's.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my projects, there are many more to share.  I am super busy getting ready for our local fair where I have a booth of homemade crafts.  I am creating everyday I just haven't had the time to post.  So I am hoping I can sneak in a post here and there as I am working on everything.  Let me know what you think of my projects and I wish you all a happy crafting day!

 

Birthday fun for Kirstin!

In the middle of doing a bunch of Halloween goodie bags I had to pull out my birthday stuff and make a Birthday Cake Box for Kirstin.  I love my soccer girls, they are so much fun, and they all look forward to what I am going to make for them.  I love how this box turned out.  I think it is so cute.

Turquoise Birthday Box for Ngaia!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a good day.  Here is one of the two birthday boxes I am making this week.   Ngaia's is a new girl on our soccer team.  I don't know her that well, and just decided to make one in turquoise in the hope that she will like it.  I found out her favorite color is turquoise, so I guessed pretty good.  I am giving it to her tommorrow so I will find out then if she likes it or not.  I hope you do, I love how it turned out.

Happy Happy Birthday (cupcake goodie bag)

Good Morning,  I have another birthday bag to share with you today.  My little six year old was invited to a birthday party last week.  When I asked her if she wanted me to make a card for her friend she said she wanted me to make one of my birthday bags (they're better).

She wanted me to put a cupcake on it.  I went very simple and basic and it turned out pretty cute.  My daughter loved it and her friend did too!

Birthday Fun-Birthday Cake

Here is a fun project that I made the other day.  I make something for all the girls on my soccer team.  Last year I made simple bags for them.  This year I wanted to do something different for them.  I decided to make the box from TBBM that looks like a slice of cake or pie.  I will decorate each one a little different for each girl based on their favorite color and their personality.  Well, I got the first one done the other day so here it is.

I hope you all like it and are inspired to create something too!

Sweet Wishes

Good Morning everyone, sorry I have been MIA for such a long time, life is just so busy and it never lets up.  I realized I just have to take the little bits of time throughout the day to do the fun things that I want to do. 

Boys are so different than girls.  My little man just doesn't stop going!  Can I just say nap time is my favorite time!  I have a lot of projects going and I hope I can share them with you as I finish them.  I have been busy this last little while making more of my birthday calenders.  I recieved so many orders, it was crazy! 

Well, on to my project for today.  I made a cute little bag to celebrate Arryn's birthday!  My oldest daughter helped me pick out the paper and said to cut the ice cream cone.
