Right on Target

It was teacher appreciation last week and for each day my daughter went in she had a little gift for them. Click on the highlighted word to see the notepad holders and paperclips. I found these adorable apple oil reed diffusers and apple pedicure sets in the $1 bin at Target. WaHoo, love a deal! And they really were so cute. I wish I had photographed the actual gift to show you just how cute they were! Each gift fit just perfectly inside my Big Shot Bag with Scallops. And how easy this was - zipped my Bag with Scallops and Real Red cardstock through the Big Shot added my Sticky Strip adhesive to adhere my bag together and instant cute bag :)
Crunched for time? but still want to decorate? - Easy, Die Cuts! Perfect accents already cut for you just pop them out and adhere to your project. And they come with 4 sheets, 1 of each color. Have fun and mix and match your pieces.
So I took my Blooms Die Cuts and pressed them onto my VersaMark pad and then sprinkled Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and heat set them to give them a beautiful sparkle. Layered them together with a Fresh Favorites II Button for a purdy accent. Stamped 'For You' from Fresh Cuts on Pumpkin Pie with Pumpkin Pie Craft ink and again, heat embossed with Iridescent Ice. HINT: You can get all the glitz without getting the glitz on you by using Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder vs Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. Love both products, but when I use alot of glitz, like I did for my blooms, I usually choose to heat set the sparkle so my recipient isn't full of sparkles. TIP: To heat emboss you will need to use either Craft Ink or VersaMark, this is a sticky ink which always your powder to stick to it.
Popped out my sentiment with the Word Window. Used my Crop-a-Dile to punch out 2 holes at the top to feed my So Saffron Ribbon through. And there you have a cute and very easy to create bag. The teachers loved it, hope you do too :)
