Friendly Hello Best Birthday Gift Bags. Stampin Birds Showcase Blog Hop. February 2022

 Good Morning Everyone

Today I'm hopping with the Stampin Birds and as usual we don't have a set theme, we just get to show off some great creations. 

There's only a few days left of Saleabration so I decided that I needed to us the Beautiful Friendly Hello bundle just one more time! 

I just love these gift bags, each uses 1/2" a sheet of 12x12" so you can get both from one sheet - in fact, here I used the same sheet. Each side gives you such a different look.

They measure 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 1 1/2" , so a great size to fit all sorts of goodies in.

Measurements per Bag

Friendly Hello DSP

1pc - 6" x 12"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - scrap

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

Take you piece of DSP and scroe as Follows:-

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

Short Side - 4 1/2"

Make sure that if your paper is directional, it is facing to the left.

Fold and burnish all your score lines, then holding on the long side - cut up all the vertical score lines to the first horizontal score line and notch into the squares to make tabs. then remove the small skinny rectangle on the lower right. You will be left with a long thin skinny rectangle ion the right - notch in slight to the top and bottom. You will have a piece of paper that looks like this

Add tear and tape to the skinny rectangle and the fold this round to adhere to the opposite edge of DSP. Ad the bottom, fold in the sides and back, then adhere down the front to create your base.

Pinch in the sides at the top and gently shape. 

Take a hole punch and add two holes to the top. thread through some of the Denim ribbon and tie in a bow to the front.

On a scrap of basic white, stamp the bird and sentiment in memento ink, then trim down. Add dimensionals to the bag and add the front of the bag.

I hope you enjoyed today's project, please continue through the hop and visit Donna who is up next.

Home Sweet Home Succulents & Catcus Home Decor Frame

  Good Morning Everyone

Happy Thursday folks. 

I have a Home Decor piece for you today. I thought this would be a lovely gift for someone, or to keep yourself. 

It was so easy to create. I fussy cut a selection of pots and plants from the Bloom where you're Planted DSP and stamped and cut some of the Cactus images from cactus Cuties and added onto some of the In Good Taste DSP which provides a great background.

Measurements

Bloom where you're Planted DSP 

Fussy cut plants and pots

In Good Taste DSP

1pc - 6x6"

1pc - 6" x 1 1/2"

Basic White Card Stock 

1pc - 6x6"

Scraps

Gold Metallic Paper

Scraps

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

The box frame measures 7x7", and the insert measures 6x6". 

Adhere the 6x6" DSP to the 6x6" Basic White piece, just to make it a but more sturdy. Add the wood look strip of DSP along the bottom Edge.

Cut out the letters to make the words Home Sweet Home from the Metallic paper using the Playful Alphabet dies. 

Stamp the large cactus image in Just Jade and a couple of the pots in Cinnamon Cider and Cajun Craze.

I found it easier to lay everything out first to get a good idea of layout, so arrange all your pieces down putting the wording towards the top in the centre. 

I then took a photo of the layout just incase I needed some reference.

Adhere down the wording first, making sure you take your time to ensure even spacing and that it is straight.

Now add all you plants and pots, sticking some down with liquid glue and some with dimensionals. Some one the pieces did overhang, so I just trimmed then to sit flush with the DSP behind.

Then, removing the backing from the frame, add your artwork and close up. All that's left to do now it hang it!

Driving By Camper Van Happy Birthday Card. Creative Colour Challenges #CCC25

 Good Morning Everyone

Happy Monday, from a very wet and blustery Huddersfield. Hope you have all had a lovely weekend despite the weather - and I hope you have all managed to stay safe. Looks like this miserable weather is to be with us for a while yet, roll on Spring, eh?

Taking of Spring, we have a really nice and fresh colour combo over on Creative Colour Challenges this week. The Mix of Pale Papaya, Bermuda Bay and Highland heather is so lovely.

I decided to created a Birthday Card using the Driving By stamp set and a selection of DSP. Saleabration ends in one week, so I wanted a chance to use some more of the lovely FREEBIES before they are gone for good.

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

Ink up the camper van image with memento ink and stamp three times on scraps of Basic White. Also stamp a camper van on each of the DSP Scraps. 

Using Stampin Blends colour in the body work and tires including round the windows

Fussy Cut the DSP camper vans to get the body and the roof. Glue these down onto the basic white camper vans. Then fussy cut the whole piece.

Create your card base by folding the Basic Black along the score line, then add the basic white to the inside.

Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment in Highland Heather into the centre of the Highland Heather card stock piece. Add this and the Bermuda Bay strip to the Pale Papaya piece. Place this onto the card front.

Finally add your camper vans to the right hand side using dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed today's card. Please head on over to Creative Colour Challenges and check out the details, and maybe enter yourself. I would love to see what you can create with this combo
