Recycle with me #4- Lawn Fawn my Silly Valentine

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day!  Today I have another recycle with me project here and over on my YouTube channel with a video. It's #4 in the series over on YouTube.

So today's project is not a card but a valentine treat bookmark.  For the bookmark I used My Favorite Things Fishtail Flags Layers STAX Die-namics. ( This set is discontinued, but I will link to a similar set from MFT & also Simon Says Stamp)  I used the big shot machine to cut those out.

For these super cute images and sentiments I used Lawn Fawn's stamp set my silly valentine.  I colored the images with spetrum noir markers.  I used the browns, yellows, reds, cool greys, and turquoise markers


For the recycled part of my card I used the sleeves the chocolate comes in from after eight chocolates to create a little pocket for a valentine candy treat.

I used Simon Says Stamp clear embossing ink to ink up the sentiments on each little black pocket from the after eight chocolates.  Then used white embossing powder and melted it with the marvey heat tool. I used Simon Says Stamp white embossing powder, ranger white embossing powder and Micheal's Recollections white embossing powder. I filmed this project over a few days and didn't pay attention to what white embossing powder I was using so I ended up using all of them. I also used the anti static pouch on the chocolate sleeve to prepare the surface for embossing.

Next I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment on the bookmark piece in Simon Says Stamp clear embossing ink and used the white embossing powder and the heat tool again. Then I used various colors of distress inks on the bookmarks to add some color there.  I used tea dye, mustard seed, candied apple, crushed olive, salty ocean and weathered wood distress inks. I used the ranger blending tools to add the color.

Lastly I was ready to adhere everything together. I adhered the chocolate sleeves to the bookmark using the scotch advanced tape glider. I used foam tape to adhere the little images to their corresponding sleeve that matched the sentiments.  Then I added some candy canes to the pocket as I had them on hand and leftover from Christmas. You could include any little candies that fit.

You could also make your own mini pouches/envelopes for this project. Or maybe you have some mini envelopes in your collection that you can finally find a use for.





Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a great Valentine's Day!

Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop Gardening theme

It's that time of month again where I share a fun crafty project that I made with my kiddo Riley for Get Kids Crafty. Hello and thank you for joining us for the May Get Kids Crafty! blog hop! We are thrilled to have you! Our theme this month is gardening and our kids have created some AMAZING projects to share with you! We had a lot of fun creating our project this month. We made a bumble bee mobile.  Both my kids love the song bringing home my baby bumble bee. Especially my youngest Liam, it seems to usually calm him down when he's upset.  So we created this fun project to the theme of the song.      First we had to die cut our bees, Here is Riley playing with an already cut bee in the Big Shot machine.      Here is Riley turning the handle on the Big Shot machine to cut out all our bees. We had to do 16 in total one for the front and back as you will see in a little bit. Here is what the finished bee looks like and the die cut that we used from
