Baby Shower favors...

Hello My crafty friends!!!! Today is a Crafty Junkie Too DT day! Today's project centers around "Earth Day!" We were asked to make a project using recycled materials, whatever we have on hand. So I started saving up on toilet paper rolls, and came up with these cute little baby shower favors for one of my friends at MOPS.

 Started with these...

 and printed off some of my favorite papers from the Teresa Collins Baby Boutique cartridge.

 Then I wrapped the rolls with white tulle and tied off one side using some twine.

 Next, I cut the paper into strips at 4.25" x 6".

 I wrapped these pieces around the tulle and attached them together.

 Next, I typed up a cute little sentiment on my computer and punched the pieces out with a couple of my favorite punches.

 Stand the rolls up on their side and stuff them full of delish kisses and hugs!

 Then you can tie the other side up with twine.

 The last step is to put the sentiment onto the favors, and that's it! ;)

 I think they turned out pretty cute and the new mom loved them too!

HOP decor...

Hello my crafty friends!

 Today is a Craft Junkie Too Design Team Project day!!!! We were asked to create a 3D Easter project. A couple of my friends and I came up with this decor idea for our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group:

 I loved how they turned out and they were all different! The boards were bought and cut at Home Depot. Then we put out spring paint colors and let the ladies pick their color. We painted the boards, let them dry, and attached the letters, ears and bunny tail!

 The letters were cut at 3" using the Zoo Day cartridge. The ears were cut at 5.75" using the Slumber Party cartridge.

 Here it is up on my mantle with my Easter subway art by the eighteen25 girls.

It's your lucky day!

Hello my crafty friends!

 Today is a Craft Junkie Too Design Team Project day!!!! We were asked to create a project that had green and gold on it. Last year I made up these cute little treat bags:

You can find the blog post HERE. I loved handing out those cute treats so I decided to come up with another St. Patty's Day treat bag. And this is what I came up with:

I just {love} these little treat bags! What kid or adult wouldn't love a little chocolate treat?! The first thing I did was turn on my dusty Imagine (I'm so sorry my neglected machine!) I printed a sheet of green patterned paper from the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge.

 Then I chose a couple of fun fonts and printed out my sentiment.

I printed it onto  regular copy paper first and then took a scrap piece of white card stock, adhered it onto the sheet that already went through the printer and then pressed print again. (This way you don't have to waste a whole piece of card stock.)

Next, I cut the sentiments into 3 1/2" by 1", and then used my square punch to make the "flags" on each side.

Then I tied each little flag up with some green twine.

 I cut a strip of paper at 3",

 and then cut them into 4" strips.

 Next, I scored each strip at 2" and folded them in half.

 I put the little gold/chocolate coins in small bags, and then use my new FAVORITE tool to attach the toppers. I find myself stapling everything with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher!!!!

 Then I used the 1/4" side of my corner chomper to round the top of each topper. The last thing I did was use some glue dots to attach the tags/flags to each topper.

 I really like how these little treats turned out and just might have to make some more to give out!!!!

Thanks SNOW much card...

Hello my crafty friends! Today is a Craft Junkie Too Design Team Project day!!!! We were asked to create a project that represents cold! I thought that it would be a perfect time to make up some thank you cards for all the Christmas gifts and goodies that were received! Here's what I came up with:

 I used the Wrap it Up cartridge for the snowflake and all its layers and cut it at 5".

 I also used Glossy Accents and tinsel glitter to give the snowflake a "snow" effect!

 I wrapped the base layer of the card with ribbon and attached the two ends with a cute heart brad.

Using my computer I typed up the sentiment using the font Black Jack, and then went over the word SNOW with a clear star jelly roll pen. (It's hard to see the sparkle on here, but trust me it's there!)

 I also used a corner ticket punch for the corners of the base layer.

Peppermint Bark Heart Lollipops...

Hello my crafty friends! Today is a Craft Junkie Too Design Team Project day!!!! We were asked to create a last minute Christmas gift idea! So, I whipped up some lollipops for my friends and family! I saw the idea of large candy cane peppermint bark, 2 years ago, and kept saying I needed to make these! Well, this year I had the chance and I decided to make them into peppermint bark lollipops!

 I used small candy canes and placed them into a heart shape onto a lollipop stick.

 I put them in the oven at 250 for 4  1/2 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven carefully pinch the candy canes together, this will create a seal.

 ***Side note...any candy canes that are broken, you have to eat! It's not my rule, but it's the rule! ;)

 Next, I broke up some baking chocolate and put it in a baggie. I warmed the chocolate up in the microwave in 20 second intervals.

 Then cut a small hole in the tip of the baggie.

 Put a small layer of chocolate in the bottom of each heart.

 I did the same steps with the vanilla candy coating and then put sprinkles on top of each heart.

 I put them in the fridge to set up.

 Then I typed "From my heart to yours! Merry Christmas! Kristy" and printed them out onto card stock.

 Cut the paper in half.

 Fold them in half and cut out a triangle shape, to turn them into flags.

 

Put a small cello bag onto the heart pop, tie with a piece of twine, add glue to the tag, put it around the stick, and tie the twine into a bow!

 I think they turned out pretty cure and they have been super fun to hand out!

 Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!!!
