Thankful tree mini treat bags

I was inspired to create these bags from a card I saw on Pinterest.  I'm not sure who created it, but the leaf technique is not mine.  In any case, I thought they would make beautiful treat bags to give to coworkers and friends. i hope you are inspired to make your own.  I whipped 10 of these out in a couple of hours.  They're very easy and quick to make.  To sponge the leaf, cut a piece of copy paper the size of your project, then cut the leaf out of the center.  (I used vellum so I could easily make a bunch). Using sponges and your inks, ink the inside of the leaf mask your created. Then stamp the tree from Sheltering tree over your sponged image.  Add the Thankful stamp to the top.  To get the "for you," I inked only those two words from the thankful for you sentiment in Sheltering tree.

Mini treat bag thinlet die (on sale through November 30th)

Leaflet framelits

Cajun craze, crushed curry, cherry cobbler and early espresso ink pads

Grateful Vintage Leaves Sneaky Box

This box was inspired by Sam Donald of Pootles Papercrafts.  She created the box design and has a video tutorial on the instructions.  You can find it on YouTube by searching for sneaking box with flush fitting lid.  I loved it and decided to make a fall leaf version.  I stamped the top of the Box with the Vintage Leaves stamp set.  I love this set and it has matching Framelits!  You can purchase them separately or in a money saving bundle.  Who wouldn't want to save money, right?  I used the baby wipe technique to make the variegated colors on the leaves.  The cardstock for the top is Tip top taupe, a 2015-17 In color.  This has quickly become one of my most used neutral color.  The base of the box is made in Cajun craze.  I stamped the leaves for the focal image then cut them out with the matching Framelits.  I then sprayed them with alcohol and crumpled them to give them texture.  I tied the three leaves with linen thread.  The sentiment comes from endless thanks, as well as the banner.  I hand cut the banner out.  I hope you will try making one.  Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to stop by!
