CHRISTMAS GIFT BAG

Hello friends! Thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

I decided to make a gift bag to coordinate with a card I shared a couple of days ago.

I used one of the Ombre Gift Bags, some of the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper and a few of the Wonderful Snowflakes.

I secured a length of the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon to the back of the DSP layer and then adhered it to the front of the ombre bag.

Three snowflakes were added to the bag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut four tags using the Tailor Made Tags Dies – two in Basic White and one each in Sift Succulent and DSP. One of the white tags was glued to the back of the DSP tag.

Using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set, I stamped the greeting and trees to the Basic White tag. Then I stamped the ‘to’ and ‘from’ on the Soft Succulent tag.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the gift boxes. After I photographed the gift bag I carefully removed the gift boxes and repositioned them so they are now parallel with the bottom of the bag (and it looks much better).

The tags were overlapped and glued in place. Then I cut a length of White Faux Linen Ribbon in half, from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and frayed it before combining it with White Baker’s Twine and Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon to finish the tags.

I added some CLear Wink of Stella to the Soft Succulent ‘ribbon’ on the gift boxes before popping some coordinating 2021-2023 In Colur Jewels.

What do you think of this little gift bag? I think that I will make a gift card holder to pop inside the bag.

Until next time, happy stamping.

KEEP CLEAN & CARRY ON

Hello to each of you. I am so grateful that you take the time to pop by and see my latest project.

Today I have a 3D project to share with you.

I recently purchased a small pump bottle of vanilla scented hand sanitiser and decided that I wanted to create a gift box to pop it into.

I selected this Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler checked piece of Designer Series Paper from the FREE Sale-a-bration Peaceful Prints DSP bundle.

The gift box was created using an A4 sheet of Basic Black card that then had panels of this checked DSP cut and adhered to each panel.

The greeting, from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set, was stamped onto a scrap of Cherry Cobbler card and was cut using a die from the Seasonal Layers Dies. This was cut a second time, using the same die, to make it smaller.

The Basic Black layer behind it was cut using the same die cut at full size. After they were glued together, the panels were then popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This sentiment is perfect for the bottle of hand sanitiser!

A length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon was tied around the neck of hand sanitiser bottle and finished as a bow.

Finally, I added some Matte Black Dots to decorate thefornt of the box.

It has been a while since my last 3D project and I am so happy with this one. I think that I will take it down to the office of our apartment building tomorrow morning for visitors to use.

Until next time, happy stamping.

OOPS … I MISSED A DAY!

Hello and welcome to today’s post. I am delighted that you’re here.

I missed posting yesterday because I spent the day crafting with the Paper Angels team. Although I am not a member of the team, I have been invited to their events for the last 18 months. It is such a fun and creative day.

I made two swaps to share and received many swaps in return.

The first is one that I shared on my blog a little while ago. I thought this would be a great card to make to share in a swap.

The second swap I made was a 3D project. I was out doing grocery shopping when I found 3D cupcake gummies in the confectionery aisle and I knew they would be perfect to pop inside the Mini Jam Jars.

No photo description available.

The cupcake from the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set was perfect for the lid of the jar. I stamped, coloured and cut the cupcake label using the Layering Circles Dies. I also used one of the scalloped circles from the set to cut a Bermuda Bay layer.

I wrapped a Bermuda Bay belly band around the jar and then added another label with the stamped sentiment.

I used Stampin’ Blends to colour some Clear Epoxy Essentials. The cupcake was also painted with Clear Wink of Stella.

Here I am with the amazing ladies I crafted with Peta, Caroline, me, Jenny, Danielle and Nicole (left to right).

As you can see, there was also an amzing display of projects shared by five team members.

One of things we do for the event is to make a name tag that reflects the training day theme – Treat Yourself/Gingerbread & Peppermint.

To Bec, Anna and Liz – thank you for inviting me and allowing me to be an adoptee of your teams. It was an amazing day and I met such amazing ladies.

Until next time, happy stamping.
