The Little Things-Treat/Candy Bag

                     It's the LITTLE things in life that are always the BEST....don't you agree??

Here's my latest project for Oak Treat Design Team

I created a small little treat bag from a piece of patterned paper measuring 6 x 9.5

I scored it at 3, 4.5, 7.5 & 9 inches then rotated to the right to score lengthwise at 1 and 5 inches.  

You fold and form the bag by cutting free the bottom tabs up to the horizontal score line.

I created the baby bib by using a 2.5 inch circle and punching out another circle out of it.  I stamped and embossed with my Baby Bumps Stamp Set Sentiment and the used my Copic markers to add details to the baby onesie.

Some ribbon and a cute little clothespin keep this lovely little treat bag closed.

So easy and fun, but its all about have a Quality Stamp Set that can be so versatile.  I will post an alternate way to use the stamp sets tomorrow to make a cute foil embossed looking vellum bag.

Hope you give this super easy gift bag a try...

Don't forget you can pick up you Baby Bumps Stamp Set HERE.

Jen Hadfield New Product Line......Goldtastic!

         I Adore You.......Jen Hadfield HOME & Made Product Line......Goldtastic!!!

So excited to share what I created with some of the new product coming from Jen Hadfield 

of Tatertots and Jello 

I received a box full of fantastic product  everything in this collection is so versatile!   I had a hard time just making one project.  So I created a few things to share and one layout to walk you through.  The Scrapbook layout above features some of her amazing paper, including gold cardstock and a stencil that I was so excited to play with.

I LOVE the pattern and couldn't wait to start creating....I placed the stencil over my cardstock and taped it to the table for stability.

 I added some medium weight paste in two small sections

***DESIGN TIP***

Mak an experimental piece to try out some ideas and then another piece to use on your layout.

Here is where I had some fun...before the paste could dry I pressed some Spring colored Flower Soft sprinkles on top and then pressed it into the paste with a scrap piece of cardstock.  I also used some Sea Foam glimmer mist that I made myself to give it just a hint of color.  This piece was so FUN to create and added just the right amount of texture to my layout.

 I couldn't believe just how much this grey stripped patterned paper matched my son's tie in the picture so I just had to add it to page.  I used the Trellis punch by WeR and added two punched strips to top and bottom of this 6x12 piece of patterned paper.  The color and patterns available in this collection will just blow you away....perfect for any occasion pictures.

The gold base was a no brainer....it highlighted perfectly the sun glow captured in my picture.  I took my stenciled shape and added it to the left of the page with 3 coordinating brads over a piece of gold trimmed honeycomb.....this cute little piece came from the packaging in this product line.....

Jen's collection is so fun you want to use every little piece of it.

I couldn't help but fussy cut all of the honeycomb off of all of the packages!!

  I added a gold glimmer misted paper doile, skeleton leaves, metal embellishments and some washi tape in coordinating colors to complete my layout.  

Oh and of course Jen's collection have some PERFECT puffy sentiments in black and gold that gave me my title.  She even had 3D paper flowers that made a natural focal point for this layout....I used the rest of these adorable flowers on my next layout I will share following this post.

 Here are some more pictures of the finished layout.  I love that the sentiment banner came from the trim piece of one of the papers that I just had to use!!

The I in the title was a little difficult to see on the gold-so I did decide to move it and here is a look at an alternate way to place the sentiment.
