CHA - Little B Make & Take

Little B is such a cute manufacturer who always has such cute creative make and takes. Their unique Washi tapes are sooooo cute.  Here are only a few examples of the tapes they produce.  They also have broadened their product offering with their own does and punches.  This little Kraft matchbox notebook has the red and white dot 1" Washi tape across the bottom.  the 1" black and white dot Washi is used for the corners of the front message.  That lady bug?  It is one of the new sticker releases........so cute.  Matchbox size is 4" x 5-1/4" x 1/4".
Here is a closer look at the corners using the black and white dot Washi tape and the ladybug embellishment:
Open the matchbox to reveal inside contents: another message and a package of Little B Daisy Notes.

CHA - Beacon Adhesive Make & Takes

This is one of my favorite booths to visit at CHA - Beacon Adhesive. They always have such amazing creative projects for their make and takes using their adhesive products.  This make and take is a heavy weight felt bag: the finished size is 20" x 13" x 7-1/2". The bag is pre-made for us.  We chose the felt to make the roses and were supplied with various flowers and rhinestones to decorate. I chose to make mine simple.  Using their adhesive: Zip Dry, we were able to adhere the felt embellishments easily. These felt flowers were simple to make.  The supplier for the bag is New Image Group - Feltables Fashion www.newimageco.com

I added my initial to my bag after I got home, using a Sizzix Die.
Another project was a small wallet: finished size is 7" x 3-3/4".  The supplier for the wallet is New Image Group - Feltables Fashion www.newimageco.com The felt flowers are made to match the bag.  The rhinestones were added using the Beacon Zip Dry.
Here's a look inside:
The last make and take is a covered notebook.  There is a twist on this notebook.  There is a hanger to "carry" it around. The paper I chose to cover my notebook is whimsical and fun.............so are the embellishments I chose, too. Notebook size is 7-1/2" x 9-3/4".
A closer look at the button and felt embellishments using the Beacon Adhesive:
See the hanger to tote the notebook around? I covered it with ribbon........
Thank you for stopping by today.....................
