Handmade Christmas Treat Bags

I love to make little gift for friends, family, and my kids teachers.  This is just beginning of the season of giving, so I need to get a jump start on little presents I pass out during the holidays.  Here is a set of treat bags I made to put little gift cards, hot chocolate, and maybe some fun little candies in to pass out.



Here is a video tutorial on how to make these fun treat bags.



I love the ColorBox® Petal Point® ink, it has a range of colors that allow you to make so many different projects all with one ink set, plus they pull apart for easy application!!!!!  I only used 2 colors for this project, the old rose and midnight from the Sunset box, but now I have a set of colors ready for the next project!!  I used the inks to add an edge of color to some of the bags and all of the papers. I also stamps the cute little stars on the bags with the slate color.



I love to add layers to my projects and using the XyronⓇ Creative Station Lite with the permanent adhesive cartridge.  I placed all the papers and burlap into the machine to turn everything into a sticker so making all these treat bags was super fast and easy!!!



Thanks for stopping by, and try making a few little treat for your friend and family this holiday!!

How to make Christmas Themed Resin Planner Clips

I love to make little embellishments, and resin and planner clips just seem like a match made in heaven!!  So I pulled out some fun little molds that would work for a holiday theme, plus I made a few of my own molds in the shape of a snowflake!!



Here is a video on how to make your own molds plus also create your own custom resin pieces with dyes and powders.



I first start with making my own mold for snowflakes.  I pushed a metal charm into the Amazing Casting Products Mold Putty and made a few of these.



I then started to pour various pours of Amazing Clear Cast Resin dyed with the liquid dye in Blue and Powder in Pewter and Gold to make some fun shapes.   I also used a clay mold to get a few other shapes.


This skate is one of my favorites as it had the gold at the bottom, but then I changed to colors of the resin with the dye to get the blue on top.  So fun!!



I also love this effect, I dusted the mold with the Gold powder and then poured the blue dyed resin into the mold and mixed it up with the stir stick.  It looks amazing from front where the gold dust was placed.



Now look at the back,  love this side even better!!  Not sure what I am going to do with this gem, but I am saving it for something!!



For most of the resin pieces I turned them into planner clips by gluing them to paperclips.  Look how fun they all are!


The rest of the clips I made are showed in the video, I made over 15!!



Amazing Casting Products is having an amazing sale, head on over now to get your mold and resins, they are so easy to use!!




Check out all the other designers projects in the Designer Crafts Connection, they are spectacular!!
