OMBRE GIFT BAG

Hello and welcome! Thank you for popping by to see what I have been creating.

Today I want to share another project using the Hand Penned Suite. This is a gift bag project using the gorgeous new Ombre Gift Bags that come in the five new 2021-2023 In Colours – Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent. The bag I chose for this project was a Pale Papaya gift bag.

I stamped a floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set onto the front of the bag. Then I wrapped some Soft Succulent Sheer Ribbon around the base of the bag and ties a bow. The ribbon was secured on the back of the bag with some Stampin’ Seal adhesive.

I cut a 2″ strip of Pale Papaya cardstock and then a 1-1/2″ and 1″ strips of Hand Penned DSP before Iused the Banner Triple Punch to create the tags for the front of the gift bag. The layered banners were attached to the gift bag using some adhesive and a Clever Clasp. The ‘Thanks’ sentiment, from the Hand=Penned Petals Stamp Set, was stamped onto another small piece of the DSP before being adhered to the front of the layered tags. Finally, I added a few Genial Gems for that little touch of bling.

This gift bag is perfect for all manner of treats to give to someone special. What would you pop inside the gift bag? Who would you give it to?

Happy stamping.

ANOTHER BABY PROJECT

Hello – thank you for popping by. Today I have another baby card to share.

I made this card during my Facebook Live on Wednesday.

I had planned to make a coordinating gift box but time ran away from me. So, after the Live, I made it afterwards.

I used a piece of Mint Macaron card stock measuring 12″x 10-1/2″. Along the shorter edge, I scored at 2-1/2″, 5″, 7-1/2″ and 10″. Initially I thought each side would measure 2″ but I needed it to be wider to fit the Baby Pull Toy images on the front. So instead of using one of the tag punch, I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners and the Label Me Fancy Punch to punch the slot for the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

The box is 9-1/2″ tall and there are lots of possible gifts to pop inside the box. What would you put inside?

Happy stamping.

ONLY FOR THOSE WITH GREEN FINGERS

Hello! How has your crafting week been so far? Thank you for popping by to see today’s project and I hope that it inspires you.

I wanted to make a 3D project using the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle.

I used Shimmery White card stock to water colour the belly band background. Balmy Blue for the sku, Granny Apple Green for the grass and Soft Suede for the soil. The Water Painters make water colouring so easy. While the ink was drying, I started the die cutting – the chicken coop/barn, the wire fence, the corn stalks and the ears of corn.

This is such a fun project to give to someone who enjoys gardening and growing their own vegetables. I thought the greeting was fun to use – if I give this to someone who likes growing their own food because I would tell them ‘you can do this’ because I know that I can’t. The sentiment is from the Forever Fern Stamp Set.

Then it was time to assemble. Using Adhesive Sheets behind the Basic Gray card stock makes securing the wire fences to the front of the band. The Acetate Card Boxes are a prefect size for the two packets of corn seeds I placed inside.

TIP: when I am forming the acetate box, I place a mini glue dot on each small flap that make up part of the bottom of the box. This secures the bottom of the box and stops the bottom flap opening.

Who would you send this green thumb gift to? I think I will send this to a demonstrator I know who does grow her own vegetables.

Happy stamping.
