Beautifully Penned Happy Birthday Gift Bags. Creative Colour Challenges #CC4

 Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Monday. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. There's a New colour challenge over on https://creativecolourchallenges.blogspot.com/ so I wanted to share what I have  made for it.

I decided to make up some Birthday Gift bags and I've used the Beautifully Penned DSP and my Brayers for this one. I love the Paper as a Black and White Print - but how awesome does it look when it's been coloured. Don't forget that this Paper is FREE during Sale abration - which ends on Thursday, so be sure to get in whilst you can.

I have made two bags from one sheet of 12x12" paper, and just used the two different side. I used the Bermuda Bay for the Leaf Print and Smoky Slate for a more subtle bag with the dots which is the pattern on the other side.

The finished dimensions are 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 1 1/2", so a great size to fill with all sorts of goodies.





Here's the colour combo that has been set....




Measurements - I'll give them for just one bag

1pc - 12"x 6"

------------------------

Take the DSP And with your brayer and ink to the whole piece. I used a brayer because I like how it covered it, but you could use blending brushes or sponges.

Once dry, pop into your Simply Scored and score as follows:-

Long Side - 1 1/2", 5 3/4", 7 1/4" & 11 1/2"

Long Side (Part Scores) - score at 3/4" & 6 1/2" down to approx 3"

Fold and burnish your full score lines well and then cut up the shorter score line to create square tabs and take away the small skinny rectangle and the bottom right, so you are left with this....



Add tear and tape to the thin tab  on the right and then fold this around and adhere to the opposite side. At the bottom, fold in the sides, the back and then adhere the front panel down 

Pinch in the top of the bag, the part score lines will help the bag close neatly and evenly. Take a hole punch tool and add two holes about 1 1/2" down from the top. Thread through some Gingham ribbon and tie in a bow or a square knot at the front.

On a scrap of basic white, stamp the sentiment and layer onto coloured card Stock add this to the front of the bag towards the bottom left, then add a fussy cut flower from the DSP which is coloured in with Stampin write markers.

Finally add some rhinestones for a little bling - on one of the bags, I coloured the rhinestones with the my Stampin Blends.
