Halloween Treat Bags

Oct

Hey everyone it’s Michelle here today sharing a fun and easy Halloween project. I don’t get many trick or treaters at my house so I wanted to do something special for the few that do come. I found these cute little treat bag cut files in the Silhouette store. They were just what I was looking for!

These bags took no time at all to make. It probably took me longer to figure out what papers to use than to actually make them. I used the This is Family and Chasing Adventure collections on these.

I love that floral black and white paper for the witch’s hat!

My daughter told me my pumpkin looked like an orange. lol It’s still cute though!

I think this one is my favorite. I love that purple bow!

I can’t wait to fill these with little treats!

Thanks for stopping by!

Plan a Summer Party for the Girls!

Even though it’s raining outside my window today, I know summer is coming…eventually! Instead of being sad because the weather is gloomy, I’m choosing to plan for the sunny days ahead by planning a fun little summertime party for the girls! I used the “Chasing Adventures” collection to whip up a few fun party elements! Here’s a look at the entire set:

I started by creating the fun “summer” banner.

I used my Silhouette machine to cut the background banners and the letters.

The rectangles were cut with a metal die, then I used multiple colors of thread to stitch around the edges with my sewing machine.

To finish it off, I added printed die cuts and stickers to embellish each banner, then strung it all together with yellow twine!

I made these cute little favor bags by cutting a shape with my digital die-cutting machine. Each bag was then embellished with cute tags cut from one of the patterned papers in the collection. These cute bags are the perfect size to fill with a little treat or gift! I’m thinking some chocolates and nail polish would be a fun summer-ish gift!

What’s a party without cupcakes? It’s easy to dress up beautiful cupcakes purchased from a favorite bakery (these were from Sweet Tooth Fairy – YUM!). I simply glued the cute girl printed die-cuts onto sucker sticks, then placed them in the center. The wraps were simply cut from patterned papers with the Silhouette – easy peasy!

And, of course, after eating those delicious cupcakes, we might need a little drink. These water bottles were easy to dress up by wrapping a strip of patterned paper over the labels. And the straws are extra cute now – wrapped with washi tape and embellished with a fun little printed die-cut!

Whether you’re already experiencing summertime temperatures, or you’re dreaming of sunny days ahead, don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate with your girls! Happy summer!!

It’s A Girl!

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Our theme this week has been party invites. Since I am helping to plan a baby shower for my nephew and his new wife who are expecting a girl, I decided to go with a baby shower theme. The Pebbles Loves Me collection was perfect with all those pretty pink pattern papers and cute die cut ephemera pieces and stickers. I found this cute umbrella bag digital cut file at SVGcuts and could not wait to make these. They are going to look so fabulous on tables at the baby shower! I could fill them with snacks. They would also be awesome as small gift bags.

Each umbrella is created from two different pattern papers. They are not full umbrellas, rather the back is flat. This left space for me to stamp “It’s A Girl!” and then embellish with die cuts and stickers. Each one is different.

There are adorable sloths adorning the handles of each umbrella as well as bows.

Don’t pack your Loves Me collection away just yet … Valentines Day is over, but this collection can do double duty for baby girls, Easter, Mother’s Day and so much more!

Quick and Easy Patriotic Gift Bags by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Land that I Love" collection by @PebblesInc.

They are quick and easy to whip up, and only require a few supplies – including the fabulous “Land that I Love” collection and the “Gift Bag Punch Board” from We R Memory Keepers.

Follow the directions printed right on the punch board for the size of bag you want to make. As you can see, I made a bunch of bags, all different sizes! Cut the paper to the correct size, then follow the directions to punch and score everything correctly.

I like to score the lines again, and make nice, crisp folds:

This red tape is the BEST for assembling bags and boxes – I buy it in bulk because I use it all the time, and I LOVE it!!

After adding the adhesive, the little bag is all done!

Now just add a few embellishments to make it even cuter! I chose some coordinating printed die cuts, stickers, and puffy stickers for this bag:

Quick Snowflake Themed Gift Bag

Jan

2 Comments

I don’t know about you, but sometimes January feels a little bit sad. There are no big holidays to celebrate, decorate for, or give gifts. This January, especially, we’ve had SO much snow and it’s been so super cold that we haven’t really even gone out much unless it was necessary. I decided to stop feeling down about it, and create something beautiful instead. So, I whipped up these little “snowflake themed” gift bags! It was kind of a fun challenge to create a project that screamed “winter,” but not “Christmas.” I think I did it though – what do you think?

These little bags will be fun to fill with a treat or a little gift to share with some of my friends who have also been “snow-bound” for the last little while.

Here’s how quick and easy they are to make:

Start by gathering the supplies. The polka-dot glitter gift kraft bags, the gold circle stickers, and the phrase tags are from the Home+Made collection by Jen Hadfield. I cut the snowflake shapes from the “b” side of the “tweed” patterned paper from the “Warm & Cozy” collection using my Silhouette. I have always been a fan of snowflake embellishments that weren’t just plain white – this text paper was a perfect choice for me. The buffalo plaid paper is also from the “Warm & Cozy” collection, it’s called “Antlers.” I also pulled some black twine and foam adhesive from my stash.

The first step is to add the gold trim to the top and bottom of the plaid (it’s sticky on the back, so this is so quick!) paper.

Place it on the bag front and secure with additional adhesive, and by wrapping the ends of the gold trim to the back of the bag.

Next, “fluff” the snowflakes and layer them together.

And add them to the left side of the plaid piece – I like mine to hang off the edge slightly.

Next, add a gold glitter circle sticker. I used foam adhesive to add mine to the center of the snowflakes. Now you have a pile of snow (just like my yard!) – or a snowflake-flower! 😉

Cut the string off the pre-made tag and add some foam adhesive to the back. Now tuck it next to the gold circle:

Use black twine or crochet thread to “connect” the snowflake center and the tag. Tie a bow!

That’s it, now the bag is complete!
