Boxes, Bags and Tags

As I sat surrounded by roses galore made with the new Spiral Floral Die I thought of all the things I could use them for. Boxes, bags and tags unending!

I have these smaller plain brown paper bags and they are great for small gifts. A little decoration is all that is needed.

 

 

On this one I used a strip of embossed cardstock and a few scraps I found in my stash such as the strip that has been edged some time in the past and left for just such a project. A fringed flower looked really cute tucked up with the 2 rolled roses.

 

 

This is a close up of the tag which was made with the new Scalloped Tag Topper punch. I stamped the En Francais background stamp over the tag once it had been stamped off on a scap of paper. I then embossed it in white and sponged it with Pink Pirouette. It was finished off with the new Natural Chevron ribbon.

 

 

I used the new Banner Framelit dies for this one. The larger banner was from the Watercolours DSP pack as was the rolled flower. The leaves were from the Secret Garden Die

 

 

The flower on this one was created with the new Stampin Up Fringe scissors. Love the colour combo of Early Expresso, Pink Pirouette and Very vanilla and the Crumb Cake of the bag. The little banners were from the free Sale- A- Bration set, Banner Blast and were cut with the corresponding free punch, Banner punch. These little banners make such a cute addition to a card as well. More later about that! Another embossed tag.

 

Leaves from Secret Garden dies and more rolled roses. The tag is decorated using the Scalloped Tag Topper again and Retro Fresh Washi tape. Quick tag done literally in 1 minute.

This was another easy project. Stick a bit of Retrofresh washi tape around the bottom and stick on a few roses and a folded bow and voila! Oh and the boxes are the Decorative Window gift boxes.

Have a bit of fun with these projects. Visit my online store or contact me if I can help you. Cheers!

Muslin bags, boxes and tags

 

No more Christmas cards but maybe just a few other things. I have been dying to make up these little boxes. I decorated it with some DSP, filled it with some shortbread biscuits and popped on the acetate cover and finished it off with some of the lovely Christmas ribbon and a tag. I am so going to use these for handmade Christmas gifts. They are great value at $11.95 for eight boxes.

 

 

Aren't these just delightful? I was unsure how well these would turn out as I couldn't find many examples on the web that I liked. I got the idea of using the stencils from the Build a Banner Simply Created kit in the Holiday catalogue from a video done by Linda Higgins. Using the dot stencil with a sponge dauber allows you to press the ink on with greater pressure. I love the Cherry Cobbler and old Olive dots on these bags.

 

These were done with the stripes stencils, Mosaic Madness stamps and Betsy's Blossoms set

 

What fun these are and they make great little bags to give small presents in.
