Poppylicious Gift Bag

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a gift bag I decorated for my friend who had a birthday recently. 

My friend loves poppies and I had already made her a poppy themed card which I posted here a week or so ago and then I discovered this cute Poppylicious Digital Stamp from Tiddly Inks which of course I HAD to buy so I could make a gift bag using it for her present.

One of the bonuses of digital stamps is you can size the image whatever you want, so I kept it fairly big, although it would still fit on a card. I pulled out my Grand Nestabilities dies to die cut and layer the image and colored with my copics. The set also comes with a poppy border so I printed that out twice and cut that out and attached that to the bottom of the bag.

Here is another look at my bag, this time at a different angle. Recently while at Costco, I found some fun wire-edged ribbon which of course I had to buy and as I had seen a video on how to make these bows a few days prior to buying the ribbon, I had to try it out. As the colors worked with this poppy themed gift bag, I added it to the top of the bag.

Sweet Little Princess!

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time again with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. This week our challenge hostess, Anne Harmon continues with her August challenges.

Our challenge this week is to include Paper Piecing onto our card/project.

As you can see this week I decided to create a circle card. To decorate my card I used La La Lands Craft Princess Marci, I paper pieced her dress using two different designer papers.

Here is the inside of my card, both sentiments the one on the outside and the one inside are from Paper Pretties stamp set.

Welcome Little One!

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. This week I am hosting the challenge.

In the Northern Hemisphere, spring is in the air! Spring brings new life …. baby animals, flowers, etc. Use this as your inspiration this week.

I decided to go with baby animals for my card and used this cute baby elephant from Humphrey’s Corner Collection. I also decided to try another new construction style card today and this is a circle side step card using the largest circle from the grand nestabilties dies.

As you can see I paper pieced the elephants blanket/towel he is wearing using designer paper.

Here is the inside of my card, I used another of the sentiments and the cute little toys which are also included in the stamp set.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

For my card today I used the new Grinch Riley …. isn’t he just so super cool!!!!!! I decided to create a circle card this time round using Spellbinders Grand Circle Nestabilities.

The sentiment is included in one of the new sentiments being released, I cut out only the first two lines to use on the front of the card and then added the rest of the sentiment on the inside.

Here is another tag I created which is similar to the one I posted yesterday but this time round I used Elf Riley.

Time For Cake!

Hi all!

It’s challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month we have a new challenge hostess which is Shirley Quarry.

For her first challenge of the month Shirley challenged us to create a card with one of our favorite color combos. It must also have a half circle on it.

Well I have so many favorite color combos it changes all the time depending on the designer paper I am using at the time … For today I guess it is red, blue & white hehe! To cover the half circle part of the challenge I decided to create a rocker card, using my grand circle nestabilities.

Here is the inside of my card, while looking through my stash for a cupcake sentiment I found this one and decided to go with that instead, it’s from Clear Dollar Stamps.
