Be Creative with Nicole: Preview Week Day 3!

Welcome back! We are on day 3 of Preview Week for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. I absolutely LOVE the new catalog and have a really fun project to share today.

The new Mini Treat Bag Thinlet Die is a must have for so many reasons. Here's a great example of a quick little gift that can be put together in s short amount of time.

I made this bag quickly with just a few supplies. The bag is made with the new Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper. This paper is to die for!! I love all the beautiful patterns. It took me a minute to choose a design for my bag, I couldn't decide!

To make the bag, you need (1) piece of 6 x 6 paper and (1) piece of 3 x 6. Simply run them through with the bag thinlet and adhere with Fast Fuse tape. I only added a couple of embellishments to the front, the paper is bold and doesn't need much added. I grabbed a doily, folded it in half and stamped a sentiment from Painted Petals with Rich Razzleberry. I added a bit of Razzleberry cotton ribbon to the bag and the lavender and my gift was ready to go!

There are sooooo many possibilities for this thinlet set, I can't wait to try out more ideas! And speaking of ideas, would you like to have 4 week of tutorials to make projects and cards using the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog??
