Just Add a Bag

This week over a Just Add Ink the challenge is a 3-D challenge.  It is to make a bag or a box.  I have decided to enter this tote bag which has been made with a paper bag.

I stamped a background with versamark onto the basic grey card stock and the flowers are cut out and stuck on with dimensionals. The bitti button has a thin piece of card thru the holes and is attached with a glue dot.  I have done a little bit of sponging in Blushing Bride on the Very Vanilla card.   I  threaded the ribbon thru holes at the top instead of making a handle.

Materials I have used are:

Vintage Vogue stamp set.

 Basic Black, Basic Grey, Old Olive and Very Vanilla card stock.

Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzaz, Blushing Bride and Versa mark inks.

Rhinestones, Pearls, Itti Bitti Button and Mistletoe ribbon.

Bags, Bags and more Bags

Just a quick post to show you all what I have been doing this week. Bags, bags and more bags.  Actually there are only two but it sounded so much better this way. The pattern for these lovely bags I found at the Paper Crafters Library a site set up by Andrea Walford which I have joined.

  

        

The first one I made was the Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie for which I made a faux suede  flower using the fancy flower punch the leaves from the two step bird and a little old olive button.   

 The other one is Real Red and Black with a square red fire brad and some silver smooch spritz.

Have to dash now as I have a class to go to so will be back later as I haven't finished here yet.

Just Add Ink 45

This week Just Add Ink has a sketch challenge and as
there are still birthdays in my family to make cards for I
decided to use this opportunity to make something I
could enter into this weeks challenge.                                          

This is what I came up with.







I made this cute double pocket bag. Using Old Olive DSP, cardstock and ribbons with the gift bag stamp from Birthday Bakery (my Fav at the moment), brads, pearls, diamantes and of course Dazzling diamonds.

                                                                              

 Then I decided I would make a card to go with the bag and thought why not stick to the same theme.

I again used Old Olive cardstock and DSP,  my favourite stamp set, pearls, diamantes and dazzling diamonds.

The sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set.

Here are a couple of photos of them together.

Just add Christmas JAI 43

This weeks challenge over at Just Add Ink is to Just Add Christmas.

I made some of these gift bags for a team swap last week and thought that 

as this meets this weeks challenge why not use it.

I made the bag topper with a top note cut out of Pear Pizzazz card stock and then
layered it with another top note that had been turned sideways and cut again in the Red Flocked paper from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP, available in the Welcome Christmas Bundle of the Dress Up Christmas Promotion.

The greeting is from the Welcome Christmas set and had been stamped with 

Real Red and Versamark inks and heat embossed with clear embossing powder mixed with Dazzling Diamonds.  It has then been cut out and attached with metalic brads and tied together with Whisper White 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon.

Of course as it's Christmas the candy canes were just the thing to go in the bags.
