Make It Tall

This is two Fancy Favor bags put together to make it taller.  To make this bag, die cut 2 Fancy Favor bags (I used two different patterns here), cut the bottom flaps off of the one you want to be on the top.  Line up the score marks and attach to the top.  You will want to use glue or sticky strip to make it strong.  That’s it – easy!  I closed mine with a clothespin

Gingerbread Bag

This is one of the gift bags we did in my Gift Bags and Boxes class yesterday.  It’s a Fancy Favor box with a Scentsational Gingerbread Man on the front.  The closure is a decorated clothes pin. 

The candy piece is 5-6 punches with the stamped image on top.  Add Dazzling Detail for some sparkle!  The people at my grocery store have to wonder what I’m doing with all these clothes pins!

Silly, Spooky Box

I wanted to show you another sheet music project today – but the pot that I painted to hold it isn’t dry.  And it’s really not dry!  I wanted a Cherry Cobbler pot so I took one that had a coat of white paint on it and mixed some Cherry Cobbler with white paint – it was pink.  So then I painted over it with white paint mixed with Bravo Burgundy reinker – now it’s purple.  So then I painted over the entire thing with Real Red pigment ink.  The color is beautiful, but I don’t think it’s going to dry……sigh.  So here’s a fun little project I did for table favors for a Halloween party in works.  This is the Blossom Box die done up for trick or treat!


The “eyes” are from Sweets for the Sweet.  I’ve made them in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black.  (I think he could be the Cookie Monster if you did him in Pacific Point!)  The eyes are on a small, accordion folded piece of card stock that is slipped between the pleats –



Isn’t he cute?  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
