Candy Jar, Gift Bag, & Pillow Box

Well it was 107 degrees yesterday, so leaving the house was definitely not on my to-do list.

Instead I sat down with my American Crafts Mayberry leftovers from the My Creative Scrapbook June Main kit, some kraft cardstock, and a few extra goodies and got to work creating some gift items.

So first I have this candy jar filled with sweet treats.

I think this would be a fun teacher gift!

Next is an altered gift bag.

I made a pillow box, too.

So now I have 3 sweet teacher gift items prepared- I just need to decide if they should be gifted individually or as a set... what do you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Daddy-Daughter Layout: Ruby Rock-It

One of the themes at Ruby Rock-It this month is Father's Day, so I was inspired to created this layout of my daughter in a sweet moment with her daddy. The design team is participating in a fun product swap with Clearsnap- I had some fun glittery products to add to my layout!

I layered several papers here from multiple collections: Cook, Mother Nature, and three of the Mini Themes, and even used some of the Cook collection recipe book dividers to cut flowers from. LOVE how easy the products are to mix and match!

My daughter has always very much loved being read to. She will happily listen to several stories every night. I loved being able to capture this moment of her daddy reading to her (and to several of her stuffed toys).

I used my electronic cutting machine to cut the 3 bottom layers of this flower. I layered them in a staggered fashion and added a punched scalloped circle topped with one of the beautiful organza flower brads.

I touched the flower's edges with distress ink and then detailed the petals with some pretty pink Smooch Glitz.

The butterflies and hearts were fussy-cut and inked before receiving some detailing with beautiful fairy dust glitter (butterflies) or touches of the Smooch Glitz (hearts). I know it's not easy to see in the photos, but in person it sure looks pretty.

I thought the above "chitter chatter" cut-out and the sticker were perfect sentiments for this layout. I adhered them with foam squares for added dimension.

The fairy dust glitter and Smooch Glitz were so fun to use to add pretty, sparkly detail to my layout. A little bit goes a long way, so these products are going to last quite a long time!

You can find my supply list with links over on the Ruby Rock-It blog. Thanks for stopping by today!

More My Creative Scrapbook June Main Kit: American Crafts Mayberry

I have another American Crafts Mayberry layout to share today that I created using the Main kit this month from My Creative Scrapbook kit club.

There are so many pretty colors and patterns in this collection!

I used a bit of Gesso topped with Stickles to dress up the edges of the flower a bit.

Here's a photo of the June Main kit:

This beautiful kit contains several patterned papers, an accent and phrase sticker sheet, a 52-piece chipboard set, a 24-piece die cut shapes pack, Flower Shoppe flowers, a set of Dear lizzy ribbons plus sheer white ribbon, and of course, Thickers!

My Creative Scrapbook June Main Kit: American Crafts Mayberry

The Main kit at My Creative Scrapbook this month features the really lovely Mayberry collection from American Crafts.

This beautiful kit contains several patterned papers, an accent and phrase sticker sheet, a 52-piece chipboard set, a 24-piece die cut shapes pack, Flower Shoppe flowers, a set of Dear lizzy ribbons plus sheer white ribbon, and of course, Thickers!

I made three layouts with the kit and easily have enough to create another and some cards. Here's one of the layouts:

My friend Delaina has turned me on to using modeling paste and masks. It adds beautiful texture and interest with very little effort. Just a little mask work here and there goes a long way.

I touched the edges of the flower petals with some Gesso and then some Stickles to dress them up a bit.
