New Jen Hadfield Peaceful heart!

You guys!! Today’s the day!! My new Pebbles Peaceful Heart line is launching today! I am so excited about this new line. I think it’s a little different in that it has a more modern, cozy, boho vibe. The colors are soft and the icons have a modern bohemian feel that I love so much!

Peaceful Heart Paper

One of the things that I love in all of my lines is that we have coordinating paper on the front and back sides. Honestly I love the backsides as much as the front. And there are papers that make card making so easy. There are FOUR cut-apart papers. One larger cut-apart and another with smaller 2×2 cut-apart sayings.

Then there is a cut apart paper with tags which are perfect for adding to gifts or on cards too!

The backsides are so usable and I love that they coordinate with the fronts which makes it so easy to use both sides for the same project.

Coordinating Peaceful Heart Ephemera

I love the icons in this line. There are rainbows, so many gorgeous florals, butterflies and sayings! I love the die cuts which coordinate with the papers and make it so easy to create cards in minutes! There are also magnetic clips that are so pretty!

Beautiful Peaceful Heart Stickers

We have a few different beautiful stickers in this line. One is large stickers which coordinate with the papers. Another is a three-dimensional sticker set with gorgeous sayings and artwork. And another sticker set which are perfect for planners!

Bohemian Tassels

My favorite embellishment in the line are these gorgeous tassels. Aren’t they the cutest!! I will share a project using these in the next few days. I love how they look and I think they make the most amazing embellishment for cards and albums!

Peaceful Heart Thicker Letters

I thicker letters are so bold and pretty! I love the color and the style. They’re perfect for so many different uses – from cards, layouts and also making signs and projects for your home.

Beautiful Peaceful Heart Stamp Set

This line also has it’s own stamp set. I love the simplicity of the stamps. They coordinate with the whole line and are really easy to use.

Hi everyone! I’m Amy from Atta Girl Says where I share ideas to make your home lighter and your heart brighter. Crafty, sassy, irreverent and just a little bit frazzled, I’m a decorator, cook, crafter, painter and dabbler in all things domestic. I’m always hopping from one project to the next, and juggling it all with mom duties and work duties!

I like to describe myself as a “recovering” journalist. While I loved covering a newspaper beat and writing business books, I love my job as a blogger even more. Creativity keeps me up at night, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! And I love sharing my ideas and encourage others to nurture their creativity. To me, having a creative outlet is as important as air, food and water.

That’s why it was such a treat to receive a box of crafty supplies from Jen’s new Home + Made collection. There were so many fun items to spark my creativity.

I decided to tap into my papercrafting roots and make some girly and glam scrapbook paper gift bags. (I am all about girly and glam, just take a look at my office and crafting space if you need proof!

Supplies

• Assorted black-and-white patterned paper from the 12X12 paper pad
• Gold foil paper
• Sweet Greeting with Foil Accent
• Gold Foil Garland
• Chalkboard Labels
• Butterfly die set
• Kraft pocket tag set
• Cottage Living RubOns

Other supplies from my craft stash:

• Sizzix Big Shot
• clear tape
• Scissors
• paper cutter
• gold curling ribbon
• gold glittered ribbon
• hole punch
• butterfly brad
• gold paint pen
• gold tissue paper

These gift bags are so easy to make, using a single sheet of scrapbook paper. These are great for gifts, of course. But I would also use these bags as custom favors for a wedding or party.

Using scrapbook paper means you can easily match the favor bags to your theme or color scheme.

These black, white and gold bags would have been perfect at the Oscars party I threw earlier this year.

The easiest way for me to show you how to make these is with a quick how-to video. You’ll see just how quickly these come together.

Oops, I forgot to tell y’all I speak southern! Can I get you a glass of sweet tea or a pimento cheese sandwich to go with that accent?

Seriously, these gift bags are super easy to make, which will leave you plenty of time to decorate and embellish them to the nines with Jen’s lovely Home + Made collection.

I’m in love with these gold kraft pocket tags and the butterfly die. I ran it through my die-cutting machine to make these gilded butterflies.

And yep, love pretty much sums up how I feel about these paper patterns, foil quotes and foil paper.

I need to fill these pretty bags with something, don’t you think? Seems like the perfect excuse to throw a party or buy pretty little trinkets for all my girlfriends.

I hope you’ll come pay me a visit at Atta Girl Says.

The post Girly and Glam Paper Gift Bags appeared first on Tatertots and Jello.

Hello all you Tater Tots & Jello fans!  I am so excited to be here today to share a few of my ideas with you!  Hi, I am Rita, mother of 4, grandmother of 10 and married to my best friend!  I love sewing, quilting, crafting, cooking, gardening, and being able to share my ideas with you!  I would love for you to join me in…Finding Joy in the Journey!  You will find me at Pink Polka Dot Creations.

I was so honored when Jen sent me a fun box of goodies and asked me to make something…it was just like Christmas!

These are a few of the things that I made…but first of all let me show you all of the goodness that I got to choose from:Look at all of these goodies!  There were so many darling double sided papers and fun specialty papers with glitter and foil.  And the colors were absolutely beautiful!  Included in this kit was a chalkboard, gold glittered bags, fun word stamps, darling flowers, metal book plates, chalkboard label stickers, Thicker letter stickers and a fun stencil!

So let me tell you how I made some of these projects…We’ll start with the nursery decor.When my daughter saw all of the colors in this kit, she told me that it was the exact colors of her friend’s nursery, so we thought this would be perfect to make some fun nursery decor for her new little one!

I started with the wood monogram letter and the chunky arrow.  

1.  I mixed some Ivory paint in water and put it in a glass pan.  This is to make a nice wash for your wood.  Dip the wood piece into the wash and brush it up the sides at least half way, then turn your wood piece over and repeat.  2.  Take it out and let it dry well on some paper towels.  Do not let the wood sit for a long time in the wash or it will raise the grain.  3.  Trace the reverse outline on the back of your paper and then cut it out.  4.  Add Mod Podge to the wood and not to your paper.  Lay the cut out paper on the Mod Podge and smooth it down.  Let dry.  I added 3 more coats of Mod Podge to the entire surface to give it a nice sealed finish.  Don’t worry about bubbles when applying your Mod Podge, they will flatten as it dries, but if you do get a bubble, poke a tiny hole with a pin and flatten it out.  I have a detailed post on my blog here on how to make these wood cutouts.

Now lets move on to the fun mason jars!These are a perfect addition to any nursery and they are so simple to make!

1. You will need 3 wide mouth pint jars.  Put a squirt of acrylic paint into the bottom of each jar.  Add the lid and shake the jar until all of the insides have been coated with paint.  Turn the jars upside down and let the excess paint drip out for about an hour.  Then turn the jars over and let dry overnight.

2.  Cut strips of paper 1.5  x 12 inches and add a ribbon to the middle of the paper. Wrap the strips around the bottles and tape the ends.

 3.  Glue one of the chalkboard labels to the front and fill the jars with fun goodies.

I also have a tutorial on my blog, Pink Polka Dot Creations,  for making these painted jars.

To finish off the Nursery Decor we added this fun picture frame:We just painted the wood frame and then distressed it all with gold paint.  We add 1 inch strips of the gold foil embossed paper around the edges of the opening.  Added one of the cute paper flowers to the top and the name with the Thickers letter stickers.  I got all of my wood pieces and frame from the Wood Connection in Utah,  if you live outside of Utah, you will need to check with your own wood or craft stores.

 So there are some fun Nursery Decor for a new little one!  Who wouldn’t want to bring their new baby home to all of that cuteness?

Next I decided to make a few cards…because who doesn’t need cards?These envelopes are made with the cute little gold embossed bags!  All I did was wrap a 1.5 inch strip all the way around the bag and glue on the back then you can embellish them any way you like.  I added a flower and a “book plate” name tag to one with the fun little arrow stickers.  The next one I simply added a chalkboard label!   The top one has one of the cute paper flowers that were included in the kit and I stamped a sentiment on an strip of paper and added it to extend outside of the border.  I simply cut a tag “card” to go inside the bag and tied ribbons to the top.  These bag envelopes are perfect for adding a small treat, money or gift card to give to your recipient!

I have one last project that I did from this wonderful kit!It it this fun chalkboard shopping list!  I am going to put this inside my pantry door and whenever I run out of something I can simply write it on this shopping list.  When I get ready to go to the store to do my grocery shopping,  all I have to do is take a picture of the list with my phone and I am ready to go!

This is an easy project and they would make fun gifts!

1. Cut a strip of paper to go all the way across the front of the chalkboard.  Add your Thicker stickers to spell out shopping and add a few arrows to the side.  Then cut a smaller piece of contrasting paper and add the word “list” with some more arrows.

2.  I painted a coat of Mod Podge over the paper and stickers so they would be held on a little better, since this chalkboard will be hanging vertical.

3.  I punched 3 different flowers, inked the edges and layered them with a jewel and added it to the top of the chalkboard.  And there you have a fun little list for your shopping needs!

I hoped you have enjoyed some of these projects and that I have inspired you to go out and make something fun today!  I want to thank Jen, again, for this wonderful opportunity.  I love her blog and she has so many great ideas!
