A couple of sketches and some treat bags

Good Afternoon! I hope that your weekend is going well so far?!

It's a little warmer for us or maybe we are just getting used to the cold temperatures...lol

All I know is that in a little over a week....I'm heading for better weather!!! YAH!

I'm playing catch up again this weekend. This first card is for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #33. I've never made a big card before....it was fun! This card measures 4 x 8.5 and will fit in a business envelope. When Brian saw it, he said GREAT, something else we will need to stock? haha! No, I said we have TONS ;)

I'd only received my CC Design stamps in the mail yesterday afternoon and I could NOT wait to ink them up....aren't they adorable!?! The Desiger Paper is some I found at my LSS the other day and it's by American Crafts. So bright and cheery! LOVE it!

Supplies:

Stamps: CC Designs Little Penguins

Cardstock: Real Red, Celery, WW, American Crafts DP...the Orange is the backside of the DP

Inks: Basic Black, SU! Markers

Accessories: Small and Large Star Punches, 1 1/4", 1 3/8"Square Punches, Dimesionals, Celery Grosgrain, Silver Elastic Cord, Heidi Swapp Jewels

Another large card, but this one is a 5.5 x 5.5 and it's one of my favourites to make! This sketch is from Sweet Miss Daisy, Anna Wight herself! She posted a sketch on her blog HERE. Be sure to check it out! She is an AMAZING artist! WOW!

Originally I was going to stamp the center panel then decided since I had the Star Punches out, I'd just use them. Too much? What do you think?

Chloe really wanted to give something to her close friends that are not in her class for Valentine's Day. We had already made her class treat bags a couple of weeks ago. I thought these birds from CC Design would be perfect. They look like buddies too! I'd made the little treat bags on the bottom first and then had a few scraps left over so I went ahead and made a little card too!

ETA: Alex was asking how I made these treat bags....they are super fast and easy!
I used a piece of Cameo Coral CS 4 1/4 x 8 3/4.
Then scored it at 6 1/2
Stamped the inside of the CS with a heart from the CC Design sets in Cameo Coral.
The little bags are ones I found at Michael's. They were packaged in 100 and had a silver twist tie. Think I got them from the candy making section.
I used a little bit of Sticky Strip to attach the bags at the top on the inside. So this way you can still open the bag when the flap is up and get the candy.
I then folded over the flap and used the Crop A Dile to punch two holes through the CS and the bag. Tied it with ribbon and decorate. Hope that helps!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to see you again real soon!
