Pretty Packaging Part 2

Hi again!  I'm back with a couple of decorative bags I embellished for Valentine's Day goodies.  I was inspired by this photo on Pinterest:

My first bag features a white paper doily under a die cut stamped with a solid heart image in Berry Sorbet from the Heart Prints collection and the open scalloped limitless layer heart die cut in Berry Sorbet bitty dot patterned paper. I topped off all those hearts with some pink twine and two paper flowers.

My second bag is a mini pink chevron bag from Michaels. I punched out a couple of hearts and adhered them to a doily die cut and then topped that off with some pink and red gems.  Inside are some Dove chocolate hearts.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Weekend!  I'm back to share some packaging I created for Valentine gifts, which is timely given today's Papertrey Ink anniversary challenge.  A few weeks ago Melissa Phillips shared these darling decorated mason jars for one of the Senior Design Team tips:

 I decided to do something similar, but rather than decorate the sides with stamped images and paper layers, I decided to pull out some floral stencils and acrylic paints and add a red rose.  I added a Martha Stewart doily accent and punched a heart from cardstock, then stamped "Sweet" from part of a sentiment from the Cupcake Collection set and adhered the whole thing to the lid, then tied a bow with Pure Poppy saddle stitch ribbon.

Here's a look at the top of the jar:

 

I filled the jar with dark chocolate Dove candies.  :-)

Thanks for stopping by.  I have some more packaging projects to share and will be back in a few minutes with those.

Designing with Digital Images Part 6 (Final)

The last image I worked with tonight is the "Love You" sign language tag from Lexi.  I stamped a little heart from the Heart 2 Heart #3 set on the hand in the tag as a little extra detail.  Definitely a clean and simple card.

Sorry for the terrible picture.  Taking photos at night, even with an Ott light, is not ideal.  Thanks for visiting my blog!  Hopefully this series of posts tonight makes up a little for the fewer posts I've had in general.

Designing with Digital Images Part 5

I can never have enough birthday cards in my stash.  The color scheme of this one is perfect for spring or summer.  For Lizzie's image I embellished the candle flames with yellow Stickles for some added pop.

Just one more card to go!
 

Designing with Digital Images Part 4

This card with Maile's digital image is my second favorite of the night.  I love the gradient pink color in the image.  It was a perfect companion to this collection of Basic Grey True Love papers.  Finally using up some of my patterned paper stash.  Too bad this didn't make a dent in my collection.  Sigh.

Just two more cards to go--#5 is next.

Designing with Digital Images Part 3

My third card uses Dawn's digital freebie.  This image made me think of the Green Boutique patterned paper pack and I pulled that out to use some of the paper and printed images.  I also made a 4 x 4 square card, since I had exactly half a sheet of patterned paper scrap.  I think this is a bit busier than I would like but it's still a fun card:

Card #4 is up next!

Designing with Digital Images Part 2

I'm back with my second card of the night.  I think this is my favorite card of the bunch as I'm drawn to the bright colors, cheerful image and anything tea-related is okay in my book!  Melissa Bickford has such a fun, cheery style.  I will definitely be making more cards with this image:

I'll be back soon with my third card!
