Holiday Treat Holder

Today I am sharing a creative holiday treat holder, this was created using the empty plastic Crystal Light container. I started by measuring and cutting my pattern paper from My Minds Eye and using a heavy craft adhesive I secured my pattern paper to the container. I stamped this adorable holiday stamp from The Rubber Cafe, Having A Ball using Scrap Happy Glue instead of ink. Set the stamped images aside for about 45 seconds then add You're So Fine Glitter, Big Apple Red using your finger, just rub the glitter over the stamped image. Using the S5-026 Labels Twenty die template from Spellbinders™, I die cut my stamped image using the Grand Calibur.I air brushed just a hint of blue around the outer edge of my stamped image to make the red glitter pop. Every holiday project needs a little bling so where do I go for bling? Want2Scrap™, they have Nestabling™ that matches Spellbinders™ die templates just like the Nestabling™ Pearl Labels Twenty shown here.I tied a red silk bow and poked two holes in the lid to make a hanger so that my treat holder can be hung on the Christmas tree. Thank you for stopping by my blog post today, Crafty Smiles, Terre.

I Love This Girl

Today I have this adorable layout to share with you featuring the owner of Scrap-mart, Howard Doss and his little girl. When I saw the pictures I just knew I had to use the Nestabling™Scalloped Hearts Red Rhinestones by Want2Scrap™.

I die cut using Spellbinders™ S4-137 Classic Scalloped Hearts and then placed my Nestabling™Scalloped Hearts Red Rhinestones by Want2Scrap™., it is so fast an easy when you have the right combination of products.

 The great thing about the Nestabling™ is you don't have to use it on a die cut, you can just place them where ever your creative mind tells you to...see just like I did on the title of my page.

You can also use the smaller ones and place them on the larger die cuts to make them pop and add detail.

 To add a little more dimension to my layout I chose to do a zig-zag machine stitch around the outer edge and to draw your eyes to that stitching I added 72 count Black Rhinestones in three's to a couple of the corners.

I die cut S4-235 Fancy Tags out using My Minds Eye pattern paper, cut the tag in half and placed them under the hearts so they are just peaking out. To adhere these amazing blinged up pieces I used Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry, it dries fast and cleans up nicely. Thank you for stopping by, crafty smiles, Terre.

Nestabling™ Week with Scrap-Mart and Want2Scrap™

Hello and thank you for joining us for our very first Nestabling week!  Designers from both Scrap-Mart.com and Want2Scrap have teamed up to bring you a week long mini blog hop full of beautiful projects featuring Nestabling by Want2Scrap.  If you are just joining us, hop on over to the Scrap-Mart Blog and start there.  Before we get started with the projects, we’d like to send a special thanks to Want2Scrap for their generous donation of Nestabling for our designers to work with.

What a fun time this is going to be, week long mini blog hop involving Nestabling™? How could you not stop by each blog to see what they have created with this AMAZING Nestabling™!!! I must be in a holiday mood but in July? Go figure!!  I created this vintage Christmas Card address book using a lined journal I found on the Dollar Spot at Target, what a great gift idea and cheap too! I took pattern paper from My Minds Eye and covered the front and back, inside and out of the journal. Inked all the edges with Clearsnap Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk Using my Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™, I die cut S5-019 Labels Eight out of pattern paper, sanded the edges adhered one to the center of the journal cover and the other one I cut in half. I took the Nestabling™ Labels Nine Silver Rhinestone, cut it half and placed it on the the Labels Eight halves. I cut a ribbon slits on both halves and attached burgundy silk ribbon from Creative Impressions.

Do you see how easy it is to use the NESTABLING without a die cut? I tied a bow out of the silk ribbon

and set it aside for later.  I die cut one piece from brown card stock, one pieces from pattern paper, making

a from from the pattern piece and the center piece from a Crafty Secrets Christmas Scrap all using S4-233

Labels Nine. I placed Nestabling™ Labels Nine Silver Rhinestone on the brown die cut and the pattern

paper piece and for the center I used the Nestabling™ Labels Nine Silver Rhinestone as a frame around the

Vintage Santa.

I added some paper flowers and die cut two leaves from the S4-328 Foliage die template, inked the edges

and adhered the leaves under the paper flowers using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry.

I don't now about you but I love flourishes so I had to add some Swirls, Finesse Black Rhinestones from

Want2Scrap™ an to top off he cover of my Vintage Christmas Card address book I added a decorative

nob and to make the center pop, I added four 72 Count Black Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™.

I added letter tabs to the lined paper inside this Christmas Card address book using the same pattern paper

on the front. For the inside of the address book  I cut a picture of Santa from the pattern paper and added

the 72 Count Black Rhinestones around the inner edge of the cut out. I added a little sentiment from one of

my favorite Christmas Stories "Twas The Night" you know the rest.

Thank you for stopping by my blog on the very first day of this amazing Mini Blog Hop featuring you got

it!!!!! NESTABLING! See below for the remaining days and blogs to stop by, you won't want to miss all the

great creativity using this amazing product. REMEMBER......you don't have to have a DIE CUT to create
