How to Make a Gift Bag your friends will Love!

Hello KK Fans! 

This week I worked on baby shower thank you bags using the cute baby and bears outline stickers by Krazy Kreations.

This cute little bag will let you give all your guests a little gift/treat and say thank you at the same time. Krazy Kreations has a wonderful verity of outline stickers for just this occasion.

To create the baby girl thank you goody bag:

1. I started with the bear, balloon, and all the little baby items.

a. Preparing the Glitter Paper: I needed to burnish it. To do this you rub your fingers on the glitter paper to make it smooth remove any loose glitter and the oils from your fingers makes the glitter shimmer and shine even more.

b. The outline stickers: I used were the Bears(3040) and baby (3087) from Krazy Kreations Outline Stickers and adhered them to the glitter paper. Using my fingers I rubbed the stickers onto the paper, and then turned over the paper and rubbed with pressure to ensure the sticker was stuck securely onto the glitter paper. This will prevent the color from bleeding between the sticker and paper.

c. I used Copic markers to color the outline stickers. For the bear's body I used E13, E08, E31, the nose R20, and for the tummy, mouth, ears and bottom of paw E13 and E31. Make sure to always start with the lightest color first. When adding the dark color I feathered it, making sure not to leave even straight lines. This makes it easier to blend the colors. Once the coloring is completed, I cut the hive and bees out and used a black Sharpie to color the edges. Using the black sharpie will hide the white edges and make it have a nicer finish.

2. The bag is from Krazy Kreations. It is the clear acrylic purse box.

3. After cutting out the bear and balloon outline stickers I used Zip 2 way glue to adhere the pieces to one side of the purse. The hearts, stars and word "baby" were stuck directly onto the acrylic.

4. I then took a manila tag and covered it with paper from Authentique's "Swaddle" paper pack. Repunch the hole and ran pink and purple raffia.

a. I adhered "Thank you" Krazy Kreations Thank You sentiment stickers. Pop dotted the ABC blocks, glued the bottle, rattle and duck. To give it a little more cuteness I glued 3 pink Jelly Shaker Beads from Krazy Kreations. I chalked the edges of the tag with a purple chalk writer.

 

6. The onesie and booties were glued to the acrylic purse.

7. I filled the purse with pink and white decorative shreds.

Have a beautiful day filled with lots of creations!

Making a Thank You Card with Krazy Kreations

Buzzing By to Say...

Hello KK Fans! This month I am excited to share my Krazy Kreations "Thank You" greeting card with you. Who doesn't like to receive a little thank you note?

A thank you card let's you show that person(s) just how much you appreciated what they did for you. Krazy Kreations has a wonderful variety of outline stickers for just this occasion. For this card I chose the Bees outline stickers as the focus.

To create the card:

1. I started with the bees and their hive.

a. Preparing the Glitter Paper: I needed to burnish it. To do this you rub your fingers on the glitter paper to make it smooth remove any loose glitter and the oils from your fingers makes the glitter shimmer and shine even more.

b. The outline stickers: I chose the bees and their hive from Krazy Kreations Bees Outline Stickers and adhered them to the white glitter paper. Using my fingers I rubbed the sticker onto the paper, and then turned over the paper and rubbed with pressure to ensure the sticker was stuck securely onto the glitter paper. This will prevent the color from bleeding between the sticker and paper.

I used Copic markers to color the hive and bees. For the hive I used YR32 and Y17, the bees I used YR32 and Y15 for the bodies and heads leaving the wings with just the glitter paper. Make sure to always start with the lightest color first. When adding the dark color I feathered it, making sure not to leave even straight lines. This makes it easier to blend the colors. Once the coloring is completed, I cut the hive and bees out and used a black Sharpie to color the edges. Using the black sharpie will hide the white edges and make it have a nicer finish.

2. I made an A2 card with white cardstock. I used a blending brush to add Bliss Blue ink to the sides on the front of the card. Hen I stamped bees all over the sides of the card in black. Only blended the blue and stamped the bees 1.5" from edges.

3. Next I cut pieces of goldenrod paper to make the layers of the card. I chose to have 4 layers. Eah layer was trimmed by .25".

a. Each layer was embossed using the Honey Comb embossing folder. After embossing I went over the embossed areas with a gold metallic pen, adding shimmer to make it look wet from honey. Next I stamped bees all over each layer. Making sure they were going in all different directions.

b. the first layer was adhered flat to the front of the card. The next three layers were adhered with black foam tape.

4. My Scan N Cut was used to print and cut out the sentiment "Buzzing by to say" Adhering it with black foam tape.

5. Thank you sentiment is from Krazy Kreations Thank You sentiment stickers. I adhered it to a white cardstock square and used black foam tape to adhere it to the card.

6. I waned a little more pizzazz on this card so I used Krazy Kreations Jelly Shaker Beads. To adhere them to the bees I used Zig 2 Way Glue.

Have a beautiful day filled with lots of creativity!
