Hello! Welcome back to my blog. For today's post, I am featuring my 4th Grader's Valentine's giveaway. It is a goodie bag created with papers and stickers from Paper Source.
The goodie bag was created using the We R Memory Keepers Goodie Bag Guide. I added an embossed belly band on the goodie bag. I added heart embossing using the We R Memory Keepers Next Level Hearts embossing folder. I used a Pebbles' Cut-Apart sheet for the Valentine's cards. I die cut this with a stitched rectangle die. I was not able to show it in the photos, but Ryan signed the cards using the We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill Freestyle Pen. This is such a good way to use up those foil scraps as long as the foil is compatible with the pen.
I stamped the heart stickers using a Martha Stewart Alphabet Rubber stamp. I used Stazon ink for the stamping.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
Hello! Today is my son's class Valentine's party. Because of the pandemic, the party is restricted to having their Valentines snack together and exchanging Valentines which they will not read until Tuesday. Their Valentines will stay in school over the long weekend.
If you've been following me, Valentines is one of the occasions that I create classroom give aways. For this year, my son and I decided to give plantable hearts which we bought at Paper Source.
I re-packed the hearts using left over cellophane packaging. I used the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool to seal the edges of the cellophane with a square metal die as a guide.
Instead of creating a plain Valentines' card that will hold the plantable hearts, I made this into a bookmark. I cut a 12x12 colored cardstock into 12" x 3". I scored this at 5 3/4" for the center fold. I scored it again at 5 1/4" and 6 1/4" for the top fold. I will explain its purpose later on.
I die cut the letters, L, V, E. One on patterned paper and the other on cardstock. I adhered the letter cardstock die cut on the back of the letter patterned paper die cut for some dimension. The letter dies are from the Concord and 9th Love You So die set.
Using the letters as a guide, I die cut the O on the front flap of the bookmark to create a window, keeping the O letter die cut aside to be used later on.
To add a subtle background to the front flap, I stamped the My Favorite Things Typewriter Text Cling Background stamp using Hero Arts Sea Salt Reactive Ink. I masked the top flap with a Post It note. I had to change ink colors with the Mint cardstock to Simon Says Stamp Mint ink since the white ink won't show on the mint cardstock.
I adhered the L, V, E. I stamped another sentiment from the Concord and 9th Love You So stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black ink.
I punched a slot hole on the top flap. I will thread a ribbon through this later on.
I punched a notch on the back bottom flap, the one using We R Memory Keepers Envelope Notcher Punch. This will keep the card shut closed by inserting the front flap to the notch.
For the inside of the card, I adhered the letter O, using the window as a guide for placement. I added a removable Glue Dot on the center of the O. I adhered the packed plantable Valentines' heart to this glue dot. This will show through the window on the front panel. When the plantable hearts package is removed, the sentiment on the front will still be complete with the letter O showing through. I secured the package with a hearts washi tape.
I printed the instructions for the plantable heart on a piece of typing paper. I trimmed this and adhered it with a temporary tape runner to the bottom of the packaging.
Remember the top fold I mentioned earlier? I adhered the top fold shut with double adhesive tape. This will give some stability to the top of the bookmark. I threaded a ribbon through the slot. I squirted some glue to keep the ribbon in place. I added a bow twine to the ribbon. I used the Lawn Fawn Unicorn Tail Sparkle Cord. I squirted more glue to keep the bow intact.
My son, Ryan, wrote his name in the bottom.

Hello! We have a new at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge Blog. The theme of our last challenge for this year is Person/People And Choose Another Option (Sketch and/or Color). I am the author of the blog challenge. I created a sketch for the challenge and added a color challenge option. When I was looking for the color of the year, I did not pay attention to the year. Instead of next year's color, I submitted this year's color to our moderator for approval of the challenge theme last November. I am not sure if 2021's color of the year was already chosen last month but since my other co-DT members have their creations submitted using this year's color of the year, we will keep it this way.
I am using an image from one of our sponsors. I chose this image, a nurse, as tribute to the millions of heroic front liners taking care of patients during this pandemic. Now that the vaccines are finally being administered here in the US, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I printed the image on Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored the image with Copic markers. I added a few details on the hair using a black color pencil. I also used gel pens to add accents to the clipboard.
I die cut this with a rectangle die from Waffle Flower A7 Nesting dies. Using the next larger sized rectangle, I die cut a blue glitter paper to matte the panel with the image. I adhered the image panel to this with foam adhesive.
I trimmed a 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" blue diagonal striped patterned paper. Following the diagonal lines, I adhered blue die cuts of Sugar Pea Designs Heart Beat SugarCut for a tone on tone effect.
I added strips of light blue dotted washi tape which I ran thru a paper crimper. I heat embossed the sentiment on a light blue cardstock strip using Paper Source Navy Blue embossing powder. I adhered this sentiment strip with foam adhesive. The sentiment is from The Stamping Village Thinking Of You Stamp Set. I rounded the corners with We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper. I added navy blue sequins for some embellishment.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope to see your creations in the challenge blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
