Christmas Gift Bag

Hello Friends,
I have another Christmas project to share with you created with the beautiful Creative Expressions Craft Dies designed by Sue Wilson. This collection of Christmas dies is called Festive Collection. For this Christmas gift bag I used Vintage Bauble, this die set is just gorgeous, so intricate and detailed.

I started by covering the bag front panel with designer paper. I die cut the Vintage Baubles with gold metallic cardstock and the background with designer paper. I glued both pieces together and adhered to front of bag with foam squares.
I die cut the corner and small frame in the Vintage Bauble set and adhered to bag as shown. I stamped sentiment with black ink onto creme cardstock. I traced around sentiment using the small frame, I then cut, inked edges with distress ink and glued to frame.
The bag topper was die cut with Hollywood and gold metallic cardstock and then glued to designer paper. I creased in the middle with a scoring board, then folded and glued to bag.
The bow was die cut with Classic 3D Bow and Lattice 3D Bow and then glued to bag.

Heartfelt Creations November Release - Romantique Garden Collection

Hello Friends,
Love is in full bloom with the Romantique Garden Collection from Heartfelt Creations. A romantic symphony composed in subtle shades of pink, fuchsia, green, cream and charcoal harmonizes beautifully with picturesque images of dainty hummingbirds, devoted love birds, graceful swans and delicate bleeding heart bushes. Ornate ironwork backgrounds are in perfect harmony with layered elements of vintage sheet music, lace, flowing handwriting, scrollwork, florals, stripes and flourishes. Six hand drawn stamp sets capture the idyllic beauty of a peaceful garden where swans glide across the surface of a glassy lake, nesting lovebirds are wreathed in flowers, and hummingbirds sip nectar from blossom laden branches of exquisite beauty. The coordinating die cuts feature elegant swirled stems, a graduated set of bleeding heart blossoms and a majestic pair of swimming swans. Dreamy and idyllic, uplifting and inspiring, romantic and moving as a masterfully scored concerto, this enchanting collection is a celebration of love and life amidst the extraordinary beauty of nature.

Hello Friends,
Today is the last day of the JustRite Papercraft October Release. We have 2 beautiful sets to showcase, Sweet Posies Cling Stamps and Sweet Vine Cling Background Stamp.












Sweet Posies Cling Stamps 


 Sweet Vines Cling Background Stamp








For the card base I used Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five and Labels Twenty Five.
I used Distress ink mini pads in several brown shades to apply ink to Sweet Vine Cling Background Stamp and then stamped on natural white cardstock. I die cut background with Labels Twenty Five and glued to card base. 
The Posies from the set Sweet Posies Cling Stamps were stamped with Versamark and white embossing powder and then heat set. I used Distress inks to water color the Posies. I also stamped Crackle Cling Background Stamp with brown ink.
I die cut the flowers with natural white cardstock with Spellbinders Pretty Petals C and Pretty Petals D. I colored the flowers with Distress inks, misted them with water, scrunched them to shape them and let them dry. Once they were dried I layered them on the card using a glue gun and added white pearls to the centers of flowers. For the leaves I used Spellbinders Sprigs
