A Few Little Things To Share

How's it going?? All set for the holidays? I am a wee bit behind this year but slowly crossing things off my to do list.
I thought I would stop by and share a couple lil' things I made and wish everyone a happy holiday!
I made another tag using Sentiment Flags that I thought was worth chatting about. Have a look...



This will go on my cousin's Christmas gift from my mom. She got her these beautiful hand painted pillows from ETSY that I thought was just dying for a tag. So I wrapped the pillows in cello and added the tag. I hope she keeps it. It looks so pretty in person. I love how Sentiment Flags is the perfect size for a gift tag!

Then I made this embellished card front I guess you would call it for this bag of coffee.


I thought it would be fun to put the bag of coffee inside an actual coffee bag but I literally couldn't get near the craft store because the parking lot is just too crazy! So I compromised by making a front for it and used my new goodies from PTI that have been begging for me to use them. This is the Warm Happiness set and coordinating die. I used some felt, baker's twine and buttons to create the focal image along with my Mat Stack 2 die. Then I stamped the bottom portion using a stamp from the set and just turning it about a bit and added the heart stamp from the set too. I don't believe this is an original idea. I do believe I have seen this done. Probably one of the gals from PTI...just thought I'd throw that out there.
This is for my sister-in-law...not for Christmas. It's just a little thank you for really cute Christmas decoration she got for me that I love and this is her favorite coffee. I thought it was a cute idea for a little thank you. It's New England Coffee's Cinnamon Hazlenut by the way and it's FAB.
Anywhoo...have a wonderful holiday, Everyone! I will be back here and there and am looking forward to being able to announce the next release from Lil' Inker and ag designs!! Yippee!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
