Decorated Kraft Paper Bags

I recently purchased some Kraft paper bags and Christmas stickers from SRM stickers and thought I would see how quickly I could pretty them up!

I cut out a panel from a sheet of Kaisercraft - North Pole patterned papers and adhered to the front of my paper bag.  I then took a fine liner and doodled around the edges around the panel. 

I made a pretty bow with some embellishments that coordinated with the papers to add to the top of the bag.

 I  took part of a sticker that I cut down, to adhere at an angle on 2 corners of my printed panel.

Yes, it's that easy!

Now, I am off to decorate some more paper bags using some panels from my patterned papers.

Supplies :-

North Pole collection - Kaisercraft

Ribbon, pearl and snowflake embellishments - The Mulberry Bush

Paper bag and Merry Christmas Sticker - SRM stickers

Pazzles Holiday Hop : Action Wobble Reindeer

Hi, and thank you for joining me and the rest of the Pazzles Design Team at the
Pazzles Holiday Hop for some FUN Christmas projects.

For my project, I have made a 3D Reindeer gift box using my Pazzles Inspiration 
with the following files :-

Tall Pyramid Box and MK - Cute Reindeer Head - membership required to the Pazzles Craft Room.

JOIN the Pazzles Craft Room which includes Pazzles Library files in svg and wpc file formats.

I cut the Tall Pyramid Box which opens up to reveal treats or a small gift.  I then added the Cute Reindeer Head to the front of the box.  I think I am love with this project and it was super easy to create using my cutting machine.

 I cut the reindeer head out of Kraft cardstock as I did the triangular box.

I used brown, pink and red cardstock for the rest of the reindeer.  

I added some doodling, using a white pen and added my bow and bell as embellishment.

Finally, for a bit of fun I thought I would secure the reindeer head with an Action Wobble Spring!

Oh, I just love how it wobbles and even his little bell jingles!

Pilgrim Hat Gift Box for Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American followers here on my blog.  I am so thankful for each one of you following my projects, and for all your lovely comments over the past year.

I know you will all be busy having a lovely festive time with your family, but I was intending to post this earlier in the week, but that's another story!

I created this Pilgrim Hat by altering the Hat, which is included in the download of the Turkey Box Remake Set set available in the Pazzles Craft Room by Klo Oxford.  The Turkey Box set is simply adorable, but I knew that I could use the other elements included in the set with my Pazzles Inspiration.  

I resized the box container using the original box to fit my Pilgrim Hat.  I also welded the hat elements to attach to the front and back of the box. Ta dah.....I had a simple Pilgrim Hat Gift Box!

I used some distressed papers for my box and wrapped up my M&M's in a cello bag, then popped them inside my box.

I then used a sticker sentiment from SRM stickers which I adhered to coordinating papers.

Just a quick gift that you could make in multiples or add as a table decoration.

Give Thanks Chalkboard Printables

 

Here, is a super quick project for Thanksgiving, and you don't even need your cutting machine to create this project.

There are 4 Give Thanks Chalkboard sentiments available in the LD Black Friday SALE.  The printables are available for FREE till midnight tonight MST, but you can still purchase them after the sale HERE.

LD are having daily FREEBIES and there will be NEW product on SALE, till December 1st where all product is 75% savings. 

I printed the Give Thanks printables using my printer menu.  I then used my guillotine to cut around the edges of the chalkboard sentiments.

I layered my sentiment onto a white piece of card and then onto some patterned paper.  I then placed it behind the white framed border that came with the box frame.  I just couldn't resist adding a burlap ribbon and paper black flower to pretty it up.

Candy Cane Christmas Cards

Over in the Pazzles Craft Room, it's Christmas Card Week!

As part of the Pazzles Design Team, we were asked to make some Christmas cards using our 

Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine (99.00 Dollar Special).

The brief was to create 2 different versions of a Christmas Card. The first version needed to be quick and easy which could be made in bulk.  For this card (above), I used my new Inspiration Vue and created a Print and Cut card.

For the second card, I paper pieced all the elements on the card.  I also embossed, inked around the leaves and added my embellishments and therefore it was more time consuming and would only want to create for family and close friends.

I hope you like my Candy Cane Christmas Cards and please make sure you head over to the Pazzles Craft Room, (HERE) to read my FULL blog post.  Remember to check out the rest of the Design Teams Christmas card projects during the week (click above image for direct link).

I can't wait to see the rest of the the Design Teams projects.

Little Pumpkin Bag

I have decorated this little Burlap Bag using the FREE LD Pumpkin file which is available till midnight tonight, using my Inspiration Vue ($99 special price).

I imported the Baby Pumpkin Baby graphic file into my Pazzles software, created an outline for my cutting line, then Print and Cut the cute image out using my cutting machine.

 I then made a little tag to attach to the top of the bag. 

The text "little" which is part of the sentiment, didn't show up on my white paper. As it is a graphic file I just typed out "little" using one of the fonts on my computer.

Enjoy Today - Decorative Picture Frame

Today, I am sharing with you a cute frame 'Enjoy Today' that I have created using an LD digital paper and two LD FREE cutting files......how cute.  I have a friend that loves cats so I think she will love this. *Please note that the FREE files are available till tonight, midnight MST, so hurry....

I have used the FREE Beautiful Moments - Too - Cut It's to create elements for my frame.  I used one of the digital papers from the Beautiful Moments Paper Pack for the back ground of my frame. 

I have designed the frame using my Pazzles InVue software.  I measured my frame for the digital paper.  I imported the sentiment and placed it in a square and created a couple of coloured outlines.  I also imported the cat with bird and made an outline.  First, I printed out the elements and then laid the sheet onto my Pazzles Print and Cut mat.  I cut out the elements using my Inspiration Vue ($99 special price) cutting machine and assembled the elements to my frame using some craft foam squares.

I love the colours and hope my friend will enjoy her day!
