Gift Bags for Fall

I love to take a small gift when I am invited to dinner, lunch, a small gathering to the host. It could be teas, coffee, chocolates depending on what the event is or who the host is.  When I take these gifts, I like to put them in a gift bag.  I used to only make my gift bags in a pinch when I did not have time to run to the store and pick a gift bag up.  Now I make them ahead and have them on hand.  I make them for all occasions, Birthdays, Christmas and host gifts.  Today I am using A Cozy Fall Harvest with a few tags from the At Home Fall Harvest digital paper collections for the Fall and Thanksgiving season. 

Other supplies:
Cropadile
Gold wide tip Sharpie
Adhesive
Bags
Ribbon

Twine

 

First, I fussy cut flowers, leaves from the A Cozy Fall Harvest and tags from the At Home Fall Harvest. 

Then I created tags for each of the bags with the fussy flowers, leaves and tags.  Using a cropadile punch a hole for the twine used to hang the tag from the handle of the bag!

You can recycle any for this project, I am covering the logos on them. If I would like specific colors I may pick up a package of small bags a the dollar store.  

I printed panels to adhere to the front of the bags and the tags coordinated with the panels. The gnome panel has a gnome tag.

The fox panel has a fox tag. The papers for the panels were digitally reduced in size to fit the bags. 

The sunflowers have a sunflower tag. Each tag has twine 

The pumpkins have a pumpkin tag. This panel also has a large mat as it will go on a larger bag. 

 

                      

                            

I will add a little tissue and a big bow. I wait to put the big bow on the bag until I am ready to use it for easy storage.  I cannot tell you the last time I bought gift wrap, except for tissue paper. 

Hope you enjoyed these gift bags.

Fall Harvest Sunflowers

I love sunflowers, the FALLHARVEST Junk Journal Papercrafts Digital Papers are full of sunflowers and pumpkins!  This collection of digital papers are beautiful Fall colors.  Great for card making and scrapbooking. To create the card today the images were resized digitally a couple of times.

Blank Page Muse Digi Paper and Stamps Used:
Digital Download Print at Home FALL HARVEST Junk Journal Papercrafts Paper Pack

Leaves Collage reusable plastic Stencil for handmade cardsand Journal pages BPMstLv

 

Other supplies
Tim Holtz Distress Gathered Twigs ink
Blending brush
Lunar Paste Refined Copper
Spatula
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs
Cosmic Shimmer Airless Spray Meadow Moss
Master Board made with scrap paper on Watercolor paper
Thanks Die
Sunflower leaf die
Gems
Paper lace sticker

Create a master board. Use watercolor paper or other mixed media paper for the base.  Glue scraps of paper to the base.  Be sure all edges are secure. Then spray with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs and Cosmic Shimmer Airless Spray Meadow Moss. 

When the spray is dry stencil with the Leaves Collage from Blank Page Muse. The stenciling is done with Lunar Paste Refined Copper on the master board.

I got out a couple of dies and my mini scout die cutting machine.  

Die cut Thanks! The thanks was cut from one of the digital pumpkins, then layered on a brown cardstock shadow.

I die cut leaf and from a couple of the tags from the digital collection. 

Fussy cut images you decide to use. I like to cut too many pieces than not enough for a card then I have choices. Once I start fussy cutting I cannot stop.

After all the images are fussy cut, distress with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs, then you are ready to adhere images.   Even embellish the inside of the card too.

A fussy cut large sunflower and pumpkin with a couple of die cut leaves are inside this card.

On the front of the card there is a fussy cut tag at the bottom of the card. At the bottom of the card I added a strip of adhesive paper lace.  A dress was adhered with dimensional foam. The dress is surrounded by a couple of pumpkins, three different sizes of sunflowers, and a die cut leaf. Then the thanks was added to the front of the dress. 

Finally, a few gems were randomly glued for a little bling!

Hope you enjoyed this card.

A Card using the NEW Fall Harvest Junk Journal Digital Papers

 I love working with papers.  Digital papers are even more fun. Why you ask?  Well, for one I can reprint my papers over and over.  Better I can resize images.  Fuzzy cutting is very relaxing to me. I can sit for hours and cut away.  Today I am sharing a card created with a stenciled master board, stamps and the FALLHARVEST Junk Journal Papercrafts Digital Papers!

To start create a masterboard. Use watercolor paper or other mixed media paper for the base.  Glue scraps of paper to the base.  Add washi tape if desired. Make sure all edges are secure.

Pictured is the master board. It is on watercolor paper.  There are scraps from decorative bags, scraps of pattern cardstock and washi tape.

Apply Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Glitter Paste-Graceful Mustard using the Blank Page Muse Fantasy Flourish Stencil.   Let it dry. This adds a nice background texture. 

Prepare images to use on projects.  Fussy cut what you would like to use.  resize some of the papers before printing if desired. 

Grunge Backgrounds #2, Texture stamp and the Vintage style Postcards background Art Rubber Stamp Add a little distress stamping to the images.

Pictured are the fussy cut images used for this card. The dress with wings. the dress with one pumpkin, card with sunflower, two partial sunflowers, tow resized pumpkins. 

First adhere the dress with wings and the large sunflower directly behind the neck of the dress... With dimensional foam adhere the dress without wings to the dress with wings. Thes creates a 3D effect. Tuck the sunflower card under the right side of the dress without wings. Place the two pumpkins, with dimensional foam on half of the pumpkins not attached to the dress and a touch of glue where they are touching the dress.  Tuck the small partial sunflower behind the pumpkin on the left. 

I encourage you to download some digital papers and create with them.  I print my images on a mate photo paper.

Happy Halloween

Do you decorate for Halloween? I love Halloween. October has to be one of my favorite months of the year!  Today I took several of the tags from the Creepy Cute Halloween Digital Papers Printables and made them into a card that could also be Halloween decor. The accordion of tags will fold flat for mailing; it may need additional postage. 

This project is a combination of Blank Page Muse Creepy Cute Halloween digital papers, a few Halloween Stamps and some dies from my stash.

First stamp the sentiments and images you want to use on the tags with black ink. Fussy cut the number of tags desired for the project. The tags above do not have any of the dies added. The tags below have Halloween dies added to them.

Add random Halloween dies to the tags to add dimension. Off the top of the tag with the flying witch add a yellow moon. This made the two center tags about the same height.

Edge the tags and sentiments with a Wide tip black Sharpie or Acrylic marker

Create the base

• For the base cut black paper 2 1/2 inches by however long it will need to be to mount all of the tags.
• Lay all the tags on the black paper leaving an equal gap between each tag.
• Adhere the tags to the black paper.
• In between each tag score the black paper.
• Fold the score lines creating an accordion fold.

Adhere the sentiments to the tags as pictured

Staple ribbons to the four tags without anything at the top.  

I just love how this little Halloween accordion turned out. Hope it inspires you to print out this great digi collection.
