Die-namics Design - Treat Boxes & Treats

 

 Hello! I always love a chance to make little boxes & bags-so I was thrilled at this months MFT's Die-namic Design theme. I wanted to do something a little modern and chic. The Simply Circles background stamp & Peek-a-Boo Dots die-namics were perfect for my modern theme. Keeping my color palette in simple white with touches of bright pink, orange and green. Very simple, very clean, and most of all-very modern. I think these would make perfect little treat gifts for a wedding shower.

mini valentine pockets & tags.

 

.[mini Valentine pockets & tags].

As I was wasting too much time on Pinterest yesterday, I so a pin that inspired me to make these mini pockets & tags. It was french bread in a translucent bag-so I grabbed my new MFT's treat pocket die and some vellum. It's not like I haven't seen little projects done like this before, but it was something about that pin that inspired me to do it. And now I think I need to buy a pillow box die-I really want to make little pillow boxes made from vellum. Don't you just love the way you can see a hint of what inside?!

I have only one month until Valentine's Day to get these ideas worked out of my head! I did a few things over the weekend-a tiny box & a couple of mini heart canvas'.

fall decor.

=========================================================================

Switchig moods-time to focus on fall decorating. I pulled out all the pumpkins I save for Thanksgiving and picked one to use for this little round box. There is a box I love by Wendy Addison-and this is my take on her box. I am trying to think of other fall projects for decorating the house with, but I really just want to dive into Christmas. I guess because it's up in all the department stores and has my head swirling with ideas.

This weekend we will start painting the family room-finally!

quick diy: pincushion

===============================================================================

Since I had a couple of emails asking about the first pincushion I made I thought I would do a quick diy on how I made it. It is a really easy project that needs just a few supplies...

pincusion

fabric(i used burlap)

some string

glue gun

kraft box (i buy mine from JoAnn's or Michaels for a $1)

===============================================================================

==================================================================================

1. wrap the pincushion with the fabric and tie with string.

2. add glue along the inside rim of the box and stuff the pincushion inside the box.

You can decorate the box before or after-I like to add ribbon around mine after. Super simple, right?!

pincushion + organized.

I have been wanting to make myself a pincushion for some of my favorite straight pins-last week I did!

In my Lab(closet)-I have been purging and reorganizing my drawers. The biggest change I have done is adding the drawer of cling stamps/embossing powders and adding the wood drawer organizers to the jet max drawers. The cling stamp/embossing drawer makes it so much easier for me to stamp & clean up after. I also prefer to keep my most used stamps on the blocks so I don't have to keep switching-and I can just stick them in the bin when done.

I didn't plan for this blue theme, it just happened this way.

New lights for my studio! They are cool & very industrial. I like the fact that they are totally different-they're black and most of my stuff is white. I like the fact that the lights are rugged-mixed with my more elegant decor. LaVaughn was shocked with my choice, lol. I was saving up for a pair of wall mount swing arm lights, but these were a steal from Restoration Hardware.

Now I can start to hang my framed tags & more photos...I am slowly buying the frames.

First new thing-more metallic threads!!! I LOVE them and they are 50% off this week at JoAnn's-which is a GOOD deal since one spool is as much as $4.79. I had to take a few pretty photos of them, lol. I just love playing with natural tones with pops of metallic. The white flower is from Teresa Collins' new line and the cream one is from my stash.

My second new thing is this-I am a new dt member for Teresa Collins!! I am pretty excited to be joining a great team. I made a few tags with her new Sweet Afternoon line...
