Creations by AR - New Templates! Lolli-Pot and It's Bow Easy!

I have two fun new templates to share today -  Adela over at Creations by AR has just released a clever little Lolli-Pot - a flowerpot shaped box that hides the top of a lollipop or cake pop in it's base - and also a sweet little bow template, perfect to adorn boxes and cards!  All of Adela's templates come in PDF, SVG and DXF formats.  PDF you print and cut yourself, SVG and DXF work on cutting machines.

First the fun Lolli-Pot box -  I made mine for St. Patrick's Day using two colors of green card stock (Adela includes patterns for a heart, a star, a shamrock and a flower!) - you'll find a list of all my supplies at the bottom of the post.
The shamrock 'flower' slips right off the lollipop stick so you can get the lollipop out easily!  How clever is that?! Stamp from Waltzingmouse, coin and rhinestones from Michaels.  Grass die from MFT.
Now, decorating boxes and bags is one of my favorite things to do since I'm always making things to sell at craft sales at my church -  so I really went crazy with Adela's beautiful new "It's Bow Easy' template -  and it IS super easy!  I love how she has the option of the tail pieces that will wrap around the container.
I decorated a metal bird cage from Michaels.
 The little tag is a Spellbinder's nested bird. Stamp from Waltzingmouse
Then I decorated a gable box from PTI - stamp and die from Waltzingmouse. Wrinkled seam tape from Prairie Bird Boutique.,
Taking a masculine turn -  I decorated this Sinamay bag from Pouch Mart
 Stamp from A Jillian Vance Design - Arrow from MFT
And I had to stop myself after making one more masculine design - using a little brown bag from Michaels - the man die from MFT and sentiment from Verve. The bag is 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" by 1 1/2".
And just adding a a cute polka dot kraft bag  from Impress Rubber Stamps that I decorated with a card stock bow. (I posted this on Thursday in case you missed it!) The perfect, simple but impressive wrapping for a large home made cookie!  The bag is 5" x 7.5" The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
Ok, I'm finally done! Sorry to keep you SO long!   Hope I have inspired you!

  7. Its nice to see how many different types of projects can be enhanced by using these templates. Don't think I'd have thought of the bird cage, but it looks great. I like to decorate bags too and I'm glad the ribbon tails have the option to wrap around the projects. Looks like you had lots of fun with this template.
