Gift Bag Card

This card Bag was a labour of love, I saw something similar done with white Kraft bags but I couldn't find any in my local area and as Ihave to do something straight away I couldn't wait untill I could buy them.
So out came a sheet of Vellum and I set about making the flat bottomed bag from scratch, I took 2 shots of the finished Gift Bag card so that you can see how it is put together.
All product used are from PTI and the back of the gift bag is decorated exactle the same as the front minus the circles and butterfly.
I will make instructions on how to make this at a later date if interest is shown.

Rose Wedding Card

I stamped the PTI leaf image directly onto the card stock in Pallete Green Moss ink then distressed the edges of the card in a colourbox ink to match the rose, I printed my rose designs onto smooth card stock and the wording onto Vellum then matted them onto the card I tore the Mr & Mrs wording so that the vellum looked distressed and punched holes and ties white ribbon through the holes, I stock the vellum over the card using glue dots behind the ribbon so that it was invisable from the front of the card.


Below is the images that I designed for the above card you are free to use them for personal use but please do not share my designs instead link back to my blog for people to download them they are copyright to me.

Christmas Ribbon Flower

Such a clever little idea this one but I can't claim the Glory as it was designed by a very talented lady Claire and she explains beautifully how it is done here




The only problem I had with it was how to cover the ribbon at the back of the card so here is what I did.

I took an extra piece of the gold card and cut a hole where the ribbon was with a Nestabilies die and kept the scalloped circle to one side, I covered the inside of the front with the gold sheet then added the scalloped circle with foam pads to allow for the bulked up ribbon at the back of the card, see images below.

Floral Punch Craft - Daisies

I used the daisy stamp from PTI to stamp the background onto Kraft card stock and cut the squares with the Nestabilities Dies, stamped PTI sentiment onto the white square.
I used a medium daisy punch and punched out 6 white daisies shaped and layered them and punched 3 small yellow blossoms for the centers, the leaves are medium birch leaves scored and shaped aranged and attached at the top corner of the sentiment with silicon glue.
Tied a lemon ribbon around the top to finish.
