Pine Cone Topiary






First I gathered up some pine cones around our yard.



Next I bought 6- 4" clay pots




I painted the with Turquoise Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint
that I picked up from Walmart



With The Imagine Snow Angel Cartridge I printed out 2 sizes of snowflakes.
1-1/2" and 2" snowflakes. You can find these snowflakes on page 18 of the handbook.
They did not cut out. I guess it is another gliche with the update.
So I had to hand cut them out.

Before I hand cut the snowflakes out I sealed the paper with Triple-Thick Crystal Clear by Krylon.
I didn't want the ink to run when I used Mod Podge to adhere them to the pot.

Next I applied Mod Podge to adhere the snowflakes to the pot.

After I applied Mod Podge the snowflakes to the pot and they dried I sealed the entire pots with
Triple-Thick Crystal Clear by Krylon. This gave it a nice shine and protects the paper image.
I glittered the rim of the pot with Martha Stewart very fine glitter. Some of the pots I glittered with Martha Stewart Tinsel glitter for a different look.

Next I purchased a 6 pack of 3"styrofoam balls.
I chose my pine cone by selecting the ones that were the same size.
Then I glued them onto the styrofoam balls with hot glue.

Next I weaved some holly ribbon through out the pine cone ball
I found a Walmart.
 I found the berries at Walmart also and cut apart the bouquet for the berries on the topiary.
I inked a dowel rod with brown in for the stem of the Topiary.
I pushed it into the styrofoam ball and secured it with hot glue.
I put styrofoam in the Pots and stuck the dowel into the pots and secured it also with hot glue.

Halloween Treat Bags And Candy Wrappers



Happy Halloween!!

I've been making some last minute quick and easy treat bags and candy wrappers for Halloween.
These are super easy and fun to make.






This bag was decorated with a pumpkin cute from Smiley Faces Cartridge.
I used felt fusion to decorate the bottom of the bag and ribbon to accent the top.
I put Halloween tissue paper on the inside to finish the look.
I used Micro Bags 4" x 5-1/8" . These are a perfect size for treat bags.


This bag I made a window with the Martha Stewart punch all over the page punch.
I decorated the bag with felt fusion and twine.
I framed out the window on the bag with patterned paper.
I accented the inside of the bag with Halloween tissue paper.

This bag I used the Smiley Face Cartridge for the candy corn die cut.
I accented the bag with ribbon.
This bag I also accented the inside of the bag with Halloween tissue paper.


To wrap your candy cut your paper to size for wrapping.
In this instance I cut a 6" x 7" piece of cardstock.


For these Kit Kat mini candy bars I used a 6" x 6" cardstock to wrap them.
I applied double sided tape to three sides of the paper then wrapped them.

I took my Marvy paper crimper and crimped both ends of the candy wrapper.
I accented them with patterned cardstock and ribbon.
