Timeless Tropical Treats

Love quick and easy treats? If so our Ombre Gift Bags might be just the think you are looking for since they make creating a treat quick and easy. I was inspired to create my own little gift bag by a swap that I received (you can see it HERE).

Make them up ahead and simply slide your goodie inside when you’re ready.

Bags are 4 3/4″ x 7″ so they’ll hold quite a bit too. This batch I whipped up for a little Team gift for our Meeting, I filled them with a sweet little treat for my along with a little something I picked up on the Maui Incentive Trip in May.

They were a hit for sure.

Want to see how I made them? I’ve got a quick little video tutorial and PDF for you.

Sweet Ice Cream Thank You Card

Today’s card is one I created to share during our OnTour event. I wanted to show case the NEW 2021 In Colors that I had just received during PreOrder. Here is what I came up with.

I like the way the card turned out. I used the Basic Borders Die to create a “table cloth” since I thought the Soft Succulent gave off a vintage vibe. I’m really loving the Evening Evergreen since it can be used as a neutral color like I did here.

I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you. This is a two step stamp set and so you’ve got all kinds of options.

Final card in the Mix It Up Series 2 using Dragonfly Garden

Today’s card is the last in this series of 3 cards using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle.

This card is the last in my second Mix It Up Series, so if you missed Series #1 or the other 2 cards why not scroll through my past blog posts? Meanwhile here is the video and pdf tutorial for you.

Mix It Up Series 2 Dragonfly Garden Card #3 PDF Tutorial

I love the landscape option for cards. Do you find you tend to gravitate toward landscape or portrait layouts? Back in High School my art teacher, Mr. Panaro pointed out to me that every time he gave us an option my choice always was landscape. While that was many years ago that observation still rings true. I try to create with the portrait layout in mind too, which is part of what I love about this Mix It Up Series, it always us to stretch and try new things. Have you ever noticed you tend to gravitate towards a certain layout more? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Enjoy! Looks like it will be a good weekend to stay inside and craft a little, but then any time is a good time to craft a little if you ask me!
