February ProjectPea Blog Hop

Welcome to the January Project Pea Blog Hop. Each month we challenge our fabulous team of Project Pea Designers to create FUN & CREATIVE projects that are sure to make you look at your stamp sets with brand new eyes!

For my project, I used this fun tutorial to make a gift bag from one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper for a birthday or anytime gift for that special guy in your life. I chose papers and colors that were a bit more masculine and left off my usual bling. I stamped the owl and sentiment onto the tag and sponged all my edges with black ink.

February Sugar Pea Sweet 2 Repeat Blog Hop

Welcome to the February SugarPea Designs Sweet 2 Repeat blog hop where we showcase our newest release and bring you loads of inspiration! Be sure to hop along and leave a comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win $20 to spend in the SugarPea Designs Online Shop!

This month I made a little Valentine that holds a Dove chocolate or you could put another little candy in it. I used the Classroom Cupids stamp set and the Heart Journal die collection to make the little holder. After I stamped the guitar, I cut it out and used foam to add a little dimension.

I used a circle punch and a scalloped circle punch to create the opening for the candy on the inside and a decorative scalloped punch for the border.

These go together fairly quickly and can be mass produced if you have little ones who want to give them out to their classmates.

Now don't forget to visit the other lovely ladies and leave comments along the way for your chance to win.

January ProjectPea Blog Hop

Welcome to the January Project Pea Blog Hop. Each month we challenge our fabulous team of Project Pea Designers to create FUN & CREATIVE projects that are sure to make you look at your stamp sets with brand new eyes!

For my project this month, I decided to make a little Valentine post-it note holder for my daughter. She reads a lot and likes to use the post-its to write notes in her books or when she is studying for a test.

To make this you need a piece of cardstock cut to 3 1/4" x 7 3/8". Then score along the long side at 3 1/8", 3 1/2" and 3 7/8". The 3 1/8" panel will be your front. To create the slot for the pen, you simply fold along the score lines and before you glue, cut two slits and bend out the folds to allow the pen to easily slip in.

Happy Halloween! Here's a little something I put together for my daughter. Although it looks like a card here, it's actually the front of a treat bag I made with a brown paper lunch bag.

The image is called Treats from Saturated Canary. I colored her with my copics and added the sidewalk. The bats are from a border punch I purchased a couple of years ago.

I have my candy ready and I hope it will be all gone by the end of the night because I really don't need that kind of temptation in the house. What about you? Are you expecting a lot of trick or treaters?

Heartfelt Creations - Grateful Gift Bag

Happy Wednesday! I have another Heartfelt Creations project for you today using the newest Sunny Day Collection.

I followed the instructions in a tutorial found HERE to make the little gift bag.  It uses only one sheet of 8.5" x 11" cardstock. I was careful to cut the patterned paper so I would have the design at the top of my bag. Also, I used adhesive to keep the box together and punched holes all the way through at the top and finished them with eyelets as reinforcement for my ribbon.

I stamped my butterfly and then colored it with copics and then added a little glitter using the Viva Decor Hologram pen.

This little bag is so easy to make and can hold a couple of candies or even tea lights. It would make the perfect hostess gift or party favor.

Be sure to check out the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see what the ladies made this week.  You will not be disappointed.
