Not a card a gift bag!

Just keeping up with my personal challenge of making at least one item to package a gift each week this gift bag is made from a brown envelope, you can see a video tutorial on how to fold this bag here (you'll need to stamp the envelope before you stick the bottom corner flaps down.)

I also used White craft Ink, Chocolate Chip stampin write marker, Real red marker, Twill tape and a scrap of whisper white card stock for the tag.

Stamps Winter post and Occasional Greetings.

You'll also need a large hole punch , I used my Crop-o-dile.

Thinking of Christmas!

OK sorry I know it's not even the end of summer yet but I thought I'd show you all this Christmas cracker which I made.
I used Old olive card stock with real red ribbon, card stock and ink and whisper white card. I made the pattern my self after seeing an interesting wedding favour box and thought I'd have a go.

Bag-a-box

I feel like I've been MIA recently, I have been crafting honest!

I'm not really sure what you call this, I've heard them called box in a bag, I just think they are really beautiful gift bags...

This is one of the projects which I've been working on which my stampers 10 ladies are going to be having a go at this week for their class, I used A Rose is a Rose stamp set, with So Saffron, Barely Banana and Whisper White ink and card stock and some of Stampin' up's vellum card stock which I've been dying to try out.I don't normally give them the pleasure of seeing the coming projects before the class, I like to surprise them but I just think it's so pretty I had to share it with you.

Thanks for stopping by!

A New baby!

This card is for one of my Friends who has just had a new baby, I think she is pretty amazing actually, after travelling to the hospital her and her husband couldn't get in and while waiting for someone to answer the door to the delivery suite, she delivered her new bundle of joy in the car park of the hospital !!

So this is for them! Congratulations!!!

I used the bundle of joy stamp set with bashful blue card stock ink and ribbon and whisper white card stock and ribbon. I also used the big deal alphabet and the scallop edge punch.

To make the envelope i had to use two square envelopes, the top one i used my paper crimper on and the bottom one i just left plane, so the top lifts off, i wanted to leave this quite simple so decided not to embellish it, i used bashful blue taffeta ribbon.

Thanks for looking!!

One of a kind

I made this small gift box and matching card this week, I used Stampin' Up! One of a kind stamp set which i've been putting off for ages now but finally gave in.

I used whisper white card stock with Pretty in Pink and Rose Red card stock.

I used Rose Red and Pretty in Pink markers to ink the stamps and then used the coordinating Boho Blossom punch to cut out the smaller flowers. To scallop the edges i used my corner rounder with the guard taken off.

Thanks for looking.
