Tomorrow I am going to the Quarterly Training event my upline Michelle Last holds for her first 3 levels of her downline. There are 30 of us going altogether so I've made enough swaps for everyone plus a few extra. I can't wait to go, we are going to have 4 make and takes, some additional classes and time to catch up with each other and share crafting stories.
I try to make something different every time I make swaps. Click here to look at my past creations which include gift boxes, notebooks, party favours & card fronts.
This time I decided to make some gift bags to hold some yummy sweet treats. I looked through my DPS stacks and chose 8 coordinating colours - Pear Pizazz, Blushing Bride, Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky & Pool Party (Subtles), Smokey Slate, Sahara Sand (Neutrals) & Lost Lagoon (In Colour 2014-16). While there are 4 different patterns in these stacks, I decided to use the diagonal striped pattern and the large polka dot pattern. I love these patterns, especially for Christmas!
I followed instructions from the Chic 'N' Scratch blog where Angie Juda posts video tutorials on how to make the bags.
I love the internet for inspiration - YouTube, Blogs, Pinterest, Twitter - its really helpful that demos share how they make gift boxes & bags. I often go to other demos sites for the measurements (why reinvent the wheel!) but I always come up with the design myself.
I have used the Holly Jolly Bundle which includes the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and the Christmas Greetings Thinlit Dies. I love the sentiments cut out with these dies.
Here are all 8 designs, I actually made 4 of each - 32 in total!
Pear Pizazz, Gold Glimmer Paper & Gold Satin Ribbon
Lost Lagoon, Silver Glimmer Paper & White Satin Ribbon
Blushing Bride, Gold Glimmer Paper & Gold Satin Ribbon
Wisteria Wonder, Silver Glimmer Paper & White Satin Ribbon
Soft Sky, Silver Glimmer Paper & Silver Satin Ribbon
Smokey Slate, Black Glimmer Paper & White Satin Ribbon
Sahara Sand, Gold glimmer Paper & Gold Satin Ribbon
Pool Party, Silver Glimmer Paper & Silver Satin Ribbon
Here are the tools & adhesives I used to make this project
Timeless Elegance Series - She believed she could so she did Congratulations card
Monday, September 21, 2015
I really like this card and compared to the other projects in the series, the overall look feels so much warmer having teamed the Timeless Elegance designer series paper with Lost Lagoon cardstock and Gold Satin Ribbon. I love how papers or stamp sets can look so different by simply just changing colours.
I used the stamp set Feel Goods for the sentiment and I sponged Sahara Sand ink around the edges of all of the layers to give the card an aged feel.
I did intend to tie a bow but that really didn't got to plan. I cut the ribbon too short and as it was stuck down, I couldn't change it. So instead of a bow I tied a knot and I actually quite like it. Sometimes mistakes are meant to happen, don't you think?
There is just one project left in my Timeless Elegance Series, I'll be back on Wednesday with a set of pillow boxes that are really simple to make. See you then.
Just a short blog post from me today, I've had a really busy weekend visiting family and have clocked up 400 miles in less than 24 hours. Tiredness has just hit me so please enjoy the pictures and I'll be back on Wednesday with another project.
For today's project I made two gifts bags using some different patterns out of the Timeless Elegance DSP. I added a glittery banner using Glimmer Paper and the Banner Tripple punch. I then took some wooden sentiments (they are called Expressions Natural Elements) and used Versamark Ink, Embossing Powder and my heat gun to add a lovely shiny embossed colour to the embellishment. To finish it off I punched a hole through the top and then used some of the lovely Satin Ribbon and Linen Thread to secure the bag.
