A gift bag this week

Good morning friends,

Yesterday was the start of a new  Colour challenge at The Outlawz. Jeanie chose the theme to make a gift bag or box with these lovely colours and a twist of adding lace

The prize this month is a $10 gift certificate for any online store.

The DT have made lovely projects and have links to show how they are done.

I rather liked the idea of a gift bag, as I need some for gift cards for my teenager grandchildren, so made this one, but of course in my rush forgot about the twist....so no lace on mine.





It is made from one sheet of paper, folded and glued together. It has 2 pockets, so perfect for that gift card or a small gift and a card.

I used a Papermania sheet.

Red and white cord for the handles and a felt snowflake tag.

This shows the two compartments

I will enter some challenges:

Colour challenge for the Holidays

Good morning friends
Can you belier, here we are starting the last month of this year, and  probably a busy time for all. I know it will be a crazy few weeks ahead for me as we go on holiday in 2 weeks, and there is just so much to do.

This week over at The Outlawz Roxanne has chosen the palette for theColour challenge  and for the twist has challenged us to make a holiday card or project.  

We have a new sponsor for December Gerda Steiner Designs and Gerda has kindly offered as a prize, the images that the DT are using this month.

 

For my project I decided to make a little gift bag, as I need a few for my  gift card gifts, with a little something edible in there as well. The packet is made from an envelope and this is so easy to make, just using an envelope for the size of gift bag required.

 

 I have used the image Kitten in gift bag and you can find it HERE I coloured it with my usual Distress inkpads, added glitter, pearly paint and some puffy paint for the fur on the hat.

Extra stars and a peel off sentiment, and it was finished in no time.

 

I am entering some challenges with it.

Bags and tags

Happy Friday friends,
This week over at Crafty Catz the challenge #208 is Bags and tags, and the sponsor for this week is Digistamps4Joy. I am lucky to be the GD for this challenge and this is my project.

My bag was made from a sheet of scrapbooking paper ...Paper Reverie by Making Memories. Just loved the gold polka dots.  (I will give details of how to make it at the end of this post)

Image ..I used 2 images 'Misteri's new shoes' and a set 'shoes' There are 4 shoes in the set and these can be found HERE

all were coloured with distress inkpads and I added some shine and bling to the shoes.

Cut the main image with a die cut matted onto black card, and then cut the shoes out with fancy scissors and matted those onto black as well.

The tag is also a diecut from Marianne Designs, matted onto the reverse side of the DP and the sentiment is a DoCrafts stamp.

 

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE BAG   using a sheet of paper 30 x 30cm.

(Sorry I just noticed that I have given all measurements in cm and the scored lines are the dashed lines...no red lines I see) 

I do hope these instructions make sense. Not sure how  to do something like this. If there are any queries please email me.

 

 

 

I am going to enter some challenges with this.
