Perfectly Plaid - Fold Flat Gift Bag - Video Tutorial



I really like today's Video project! It's such a simple bag, but having it fold flat is what make's it special.

Fold Flat bags are so much easier to store and are less likely to be damaged, you can also store so many more of them together taking up much less space than conventional Bags.


I created two sets - at first glance, they may look the same, but I've used different designs of paper on each.

The Bag shown here is the one you can see me create in the Video below.


I used paper from the Feels Like Frost 6" Designer Series Paper pack. The Gift Bag measures 6" x 6" x 2" so I was able to use a full sheet of paper for the front.

I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set to decorate it. The Pine Trees were stamped using Versamark and heat embossed with Silver powder.


Here it is folded flat - not the easiest thing to show in a photo :o)


I created the cards to coordinate with the Gift Bags and kept the design similar, but even simpler.

The sentiments on both the cards and the Bags were die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies.


Here is the Video ...

Daisy Lane - Friendship Cards - Video Tutorial


I've called these cards Friendship cards because I think they could be used for anything - a Thank You, a Birthday or just a little Note.

You can find a Video showing how I created them below.


I used Poppy Parade as the main colour for this first card.

The Flower and Gingham Ribbon are both in Bumblebee.


All the papers used today come from the Flowers For Every Season 6" Designer Series Paper pack.


This is the card I created in the Video. I used Misty Moonlight as the main colour this time.


Several retired products were used on this card. The Gold Twine, the embellishment for the centre of the Flower and also the punch used to create the pretty border strip under the top panel.

You could use any Border punch or die to create a similar strip for your card. The centre of the Flower could be omitted or you could add another embellishment ... and although this particular Gold Trim is no longer available, there are others in both the Forever Greenery and the Wonder Of The Season combo packs.

Here is the Video ...



Measurements

Note: If you use A4 as your standard sheet of card – follow the metric measurements (cms).
If you use 8½” x 11” as your standard sheet of card – follow the imperial measurements (inches).

Four Season Floral - Christmas Card


I created today's card to go with the little Treat Holder I showed you how to create in my previous post. You can find the details for this and a Video HERE.

This is my first Christmas card for this year ... and it was super quick to produce!


The paper is from the Flowers for Every Season 6" Designer Series Paper pack. 

I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it using the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. 

The sentiment comes from the Celebration Tidings stamp set which coordinates with the die set I used to create the Just Jade mat - Celebration Labels ... the Gold fronds were also cut using dies from this set.


Here is a picture of the Treat Holder and card together. It makes such a lovely little set :o)
