Card for a Cat Lover

My sister's birthday is coming up, and I made her a card with cats.  She loves cats, and owns a few of them.  When I saw this stamp set from AC Moore, I knew this would be perfect for her birthday card.

Paper is from The Paper Company

Stamps are from Inkadinkado.

Black ink is Memento's Tuxedo Black.

Markers used to color are Marvy Matchables

Background is embossed with Cuttlebug Traffic Jam embossing folder

I took the photo without the flash, which makes the card look a little washed out, unfortunately.  It looks much better in real life.

I hope my sister likes it.  I will mail it out on Monday. :)

Simple Treat Bags

Hi again!

Today is the last day of work before Christmas, and I finally got the chance to make these treat bags for my coworkers.

These treat bags are smaller than the ones I made for my husband's coworkers, because I ran out of the bigger cello bags (I used the bags to package my cards and envelopes for the craft sale).

These are what's inside the bag:

Turtles chocolate

Lindt Lindor truffles

Almond Roca

Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix

I made a topper for each bag using my Cricut (took the photo without flash).

Dark blue cardstock is from The Paper Company (cut at 4 inches x 2 inches).

Snowflake patterned paper is from Die Cuts With a View (DCWV) Christmas Stack (cut at 1 3/4 inches by 3 3/4 inches).

White cardstock is from Papertrey Ink.

Penguin stamp is from Inkadinkadoo.

Sentiment stamp is from My Pink Stamper.

Black ink is from Memento (Tuxedo Black).

The circle was cut with Cricut using Mini Monograms cartridge (2 inches).

The tag for the sentiment was cut using EK Success punch (I forgot the name, sorry).

Assembly was really quick.  After I filled the bags, I stapled the bag closed and attached the topper I put together with double-sided tape.  I then attached the hot chocolate packet on the back of each treat bag using double-sided tape.

Ta-da!  The finished treat bags:

I hope my coworkers enjoy them!

Thanks for reading, and happy holidays to everyone! :)

Holiday Treat Bags

I made these treat bags for my husband's coworkers.  I actually wanted to make some for my coworkers, too, but because my husband needed his today, I made theirs first.
The treat bag contains two Turtles chocolates, two Almond Rocas, two Lindt Lindor chocolate truffles, and a Swiss Miss hot chocolate packet.  Yummy!

White cardstock is from PaperTrey Ink.

Red and green cardstock is from The Paper Company.

The striped paper is from Die Cuts with a View (DCWV).

The scallop and scalloped circle is from Cricut's Mini Monograms cartridge.

The tag is punched with an EK Success punch (I forgot the name, sorry!).

I will be making the bags for my coworkers in the next few days, and I can't wait!

Thanks for looking!
