Cute gift bag

Good morning!

I am so pleased to welcome another new follower...Linda Parker! We have been inc contact on Facebook for a while now so it's lovely to have you here hun!

Today I have something different for you...a little video tutorial!

I have been looking for different things to make for my stall when I do craft fairs and 3D items seem to be popular, so I have made little gift bags using Designer Series Paper. They are pretty simple and fairly quick to make, and can be made in lots of different sizes.

This one is made using a piece of 6in x 12in DSP so you can get 2 out of one sheet, making it pretty economical.

I used Natural Composition Speciality Designer Series Paper for these and it's really quite strong!

I decorated with a flower from Flower Shop and punched using the Pansy Punch. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments, stamped in Coastal Cabana and punched with the word window. The rest of the embellishments are listed below.

Please click on the pictures to find the items easily in my online shop.

So as promised, here is a little video tutorial for this gift bag. I apologise in advance for the slight waffling...it's been a while since I made a video!

I hope you enjoy it, and please do let me know what you think!

See you tomorrow!

Life is a matter of moments

Hello! Can you believe it's October already?!! It'll be Christmas soon! ;)

Anyway, I had an enjoyable couple of hours in my craft room last night after Keiran had gone to bed. Here is one of the cards I created...

I have only used one stamp set for a change! I've used Elements Of Style and I stamped it in Blushing Bride and Primrose Petals.

The sentiment is on a banner because I only went and smudged it didn't I! I finished with Blushing Bride Stitched Grosgrain and a few little pearls.

Supplies

Stamp - Elements Of Style

Ink - Blushing Bride, Primrose Petals

Ribbon - Blushing Bride Stitched Grosgrain

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Have a lovely Tuesday! :)

A pretty birthday

Good morning all!

This is a little later than usual as I didn't have time to write my post yesterday due to work and a very fun workshop!

Anyway, better late than never!

I have used the gorgeous Twitterpated DSP that I got for a bargain from the Clearance Rack last week! There are still a lot of really lovely items available, including the beautiful Twitterpated and Summer Smooches Fabrics at bargain prices of £2.49 and £2.19 respectively. 

I stamped Flower Garden flowers and punched them with the matching punch. I embossed across the middle of the sentiment panel with the Needlepoint Border EF, just to break up the white space a little. The ribbon is Blushing Bride Stitched Grosgrain.

Right, got to get to work! Have a fab Sunday! :)

Get well soon Shelli!

Morning!

Some of you may have heard that Shelli from Stampin' Up! had a nasty riding accident last week, (you can read the full story and leave get well messages here), and she has got a long road to recovery ahead of her. I also know she is going to have the most Stampin' Up! get well cards sent to one person ever! Maybe it should be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records?!

Anyway, I too have made a card to send to wish her well and here it is...

This is made using all colours from the Subtles colour collection. Papers, ribbons and inks. 

I have gone for my first effort at a 'shabby chic' style card...not sure if it passes...what do you think? I sanded the edges of all the paper elements and used Core'dinations cardstock for the butterflies.

I added an Antique Brad as a finishing touch. Overall I think it's certainly a pretty card, if not quite Shabby Chic!

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Core'dinations

Designer Series Paper - Subtles (Soft Sky)

Stamp - Teeny Tiny Wishes, Oh, Hello

Ink - Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder

Ribbon - Chevron, Stitched Grosgrain (Blushing Bride)

Dies - Ovals Collection Framelits, Beautiful Wings Embosslits

Other - Antique Brads
