Love Pink Valentine's Day Treat Bags

Valentine's Day is coming! I thought it would be fun to make treat bags that are full of pink goodness!

And I've even added something sweet to my crafty bags too!

I dressed up these glassine bags with the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge collection along with doilies and a variety of embellishments. 

I'm addicted to dies and love to use them on my projects. I used the We R Memory Keepers polaroid frame dies . The glassine bags are from SRM Stickers.

The Little Blue House Media Team is showcasing our "Love Bug" projects on the LBH site this week. Be sure to check them out here!

DIY Valentine's Day Mini Bags

Valentine's Day is right around the corner! It's time to start putting on our "crafty thinking caps" and come up with some fun ideas for our next big holiday. I thought I would share with you my quick and easy project that can be made in minutes. Here we go...

First, you will need the right supplies. I picked up most of these from Target and Michael's Craft Store. 

For an extra added touch I used dies and washi tape. Dies are great for any type of crafting, especially if you want to add different shapes and dimension to your project.

You can design these mini bags just about any way that you like. 
Just have fun with it. And get the kiddos involved too! They love making Valentine's Day goodies for their friends.

From Start to finish this is an easy and fun project that everyone can do! Stay tuned to the blog for more exciting projects for 2015.

Here are more Cokie Pop Designs Valentine's Day projects for you to enjoy!

Using Your Stash for Christmas Tags and Packaging

As soon as December rolls around I break out my craft stash and use it on my Christmas tags and packages.

I had so much Heidi Swapp supplies leftover from last year! I decided to make new Christmas tags using the epoxy words from the Believe collection.  I also used Jillibean Soup's wood grain mini bags!

Break out those dies too! They are great for making your own Christmas packaging!

I used the Rectangle Box die to make my gift box. 

You can find this die in the We R Memory Keepers store.

I hope you enjoyed my fun Christmas packaging project today!

Christmas in July Santa Crafts

It's Christmas in July time! I've got a fun Santa project that I made with my Silhouette Cameo! 

I used the Santa Clause shape this time around. This one is so versatile. You can actually use it in two different ways – either as a table topper or party hat. Either way it is sure to be a hit at your next Christmas party!

Tip: When putting together projects like these, it’s best to use an adhesive cardstock. This type of cardstock makes it so easy to stick on pieces like the eyes, beard, Santa hat, etc. It saves a lot of time and you don’t have to add additional adhesive.

Have you started on any Christmas crafts yet?

Happy Crafting!!!!

A Sweet Valentine's Day Gift

I love making gift card holders for Valentine's Day Gifting!

It is the perfect little gift for teens and college students too!

I made this using a fun die from Lifestyle Crafts.

Did you know that Lifestyle Crafts' is in partnership with We Are Memory Keepers?

You can always save 20% on your entire order at shopwer.com 

using my special promo code: COKIE.

I used this Lifestyle Crafts die to make the holder. Of course I used some fun and colorful Imaginisce paper. 

Also, have you seen the new "Welcome Spring" collection from Imaginisce? It has the cutest little owl with a heart. It's so perfect for Valentine's Day crafting.

I added pop dots to the back of a die-cut card and placed it on the front. It adds a bit of dimension that way. I also added an Imaginisce button, a gem, and a felt heart to dress it up a bit. 

The holder is also big enough to add small candy for an extra added treat!

For more info be sure to check out the 2014 Imaginisce products here!

Lovey Dovey Note Bag

Christmas is out and Valentine's Day is in! That's what I thought about the other day as I browsed through the Target aisles. The store shelves are stocked full of lovey dovey goodness.

Seeing all of that inspiration made me want to start making my own Valentine's Day crafts.

Check out my new "Lovey Dovey Note Bag! 

Here are the details...

I just had to add some flair to the front! I got it from A Flair for Buttons! And I actually cut the felt heart from a placemat that I got from Michael's.

I used a fun chevron embossed bag & Stickers by the Dozen - Valentines from SRM Stickers. 

And SRM sells doilies now! It's your one stop shop for craft goodies. Be sure to check out all of the new products in the store.

I am a clothespin addict!!! Don't you just love this one?

It's from Thurston Post!

And be sure to add a love note and treats to your bag!

I'm entering this one in the Curtain Call - Love Letter Challenge!

Have a Happy Weekend!
