One of the items I showed in a previous video was this cute little gift bag. I used the Twinkle Twinkle DSP to create the bag using an amazing tutorial from Persephones Papercraft the final dimensions are 4" 1/4 x 6" x 1" 1/2. It is one of my favourite 3D projects to make, so quick and easy but so gorgeous at the same time.It can be decorated in so many ways! You can add handles, close it with a ribbon as I did or not use ribbon at all and just use a library clip.
I have used the Shimmer ribbon, although it is not in Petal Pink, I think that the Powder Pink works. I have added the little bear from the A little Wild stamp set, cut out with the Little loves dies. I used Momento with the Daffodil Delight blend and black pen to colour in the Bumble Bee. I cut the die along the ear and stuck the front of the bear on one side of the bag and the back on the other. I think it works to add interest to both sides. I have to say it is perfect for a little gift card and a little gift.
My second example will appear in a video in the next few days and uses the Animal expedition suite. I have to confess that I got the stamp set for Free for attending the Onstage event in Telford. I struggled to decide what papers to use they are so pretty! In the end I went for the pattern which uses, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party and Whisper white. I have to confess it is not actually I combo I have used or imagined myself using, but i do think it is sooooo pretty. That's one of the reasons I love crafting as you can challenge yourself to think and allow yourself to be outside the box..
I also used some of my favourite framelits, the stitched shape framelits. I had planned to just use the Rhino, but it didnt look quite right. So I added the circle for the Rhino to sit on. I stamped the Rhino in Tuxedo Black and coloured in using the Smoky Slate, and Crumb Cakes Blends. I coloured the bird in using the Rich Razzleberry blends. This images definitely can be used with lots of colouring techniques just be sure to use the correct ink for the type of colour and project. To top it off I added a clip to hold the bag together.
