Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop Week 7 Treat Toppers

It's hard to believe that we are at the end of the
Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop

This weeks feature die is by Eileen Hull
it is the Sizzix Treat Bag Toppers #656774

This first picture is a simple treat bag topper


For the second project I made the treat bag topper into a
Place Holder 


 by covering the large treat topper with 
decorative paper and layering it with one of the decorative elements from the die
which was inked and stamped with a name on it.
These would be quick and easy to do for your holiday table!

Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop Week 6 Album Brackets


This weeks Blog Hop showcases

I was short on time with other commitments this week
but also wanted to be sure and complete a project 
for this week's blog hop because I saw so many possibilities for this die.

While looking around my studio for something to use with the die cut pieces
I found this little book I created in a class a couple years ago
but never finished....the cover still needed to be done.

To give the bracket background color & shimmer 
I use Earth Safe Finishes Colorant and Metallic Powder mixed together with a little water in a mister.
Then I used the bracket background to frame a fabulous Cool2Cast flower.


Above is a side view of the book.
