Denim Bag using Papericious Pattern Paper

Hello Everyone,

It's Roshni here and today I have a Denim Bag Album to share with you that I made for Challenge #61 - Mini Albums.

I have used  Naturals Paper Pack by Papericious. As soon as I saw the denim papers I wanted to create a bag and after looking at some denim bag images for reference this is what I made :)

The album has a total of 6 pages and the pages measure 6" x 6.5". Every page has a top loading pocket. To embellish the album I have used Papericious adhesive buttons and White and Brown Fabric Tapes.

The album looks like a bag from the outside.

Heartfelt Gift bag!

Hello Dear Friends! :)

Suchi here with you all today!

I am sharing with you something that is totally out of my style but hey! I am enjoying new techniques! Vintage, flowers, mixed media- I am going to showcase something new out of them! :)

So, I had this mobile box with me and came across an idea to utilize it! Let me show you the tutorial for making a Gift bag! :)

1.Cut out pattern paper sheets of length of the box . Here , it was 5.5inches. 5.5 * 9 and score at 2 from below

2.Cover the box using papers and let the bottom paper be more than its size. You will know why in the next step. Add Gesso over the edges to prime the surface.

3.Adhere those cut outs with the extended bottom paper of the box. It will look like this! :)

4.I used Heartfelt Creations stamp- Tattered blossoms from the store which you can find here.

5.I don't have co-ordinating dies for it. So, I fussy cut all the flowers.

6.I scrapped the background sheet which is from Papericious. You can find it on the store HERE. And the gorgeous button is also from Papericious which you can find HERE.

Gift bag with a matching tag

Hello crafty friends,

It's Hussena here, today to share with you the inspiration for our current challenge - Make a Git Set.

Gift set means 'Card with matching box, gift bags with tags, Easel card and box, Altered notebook/matching stationary and etc'

I'm sharing a kraft base gift bag with a matching tag! Here's a look at what I've created :

 The matching tag :

The set together:

To make this gift bag, I have used a kraft paper bag which was a local buy so I had a readymade base to work with but you can always create your own gift bags using Kraft paper we have in  our store. Here's a link to it.

The yellow pattern paper is from Pebbles Basic paper pad and I have layered die-cuts on it which I have coloured using Heidi Swapp Tropicana Teal Mist and Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink(I mean the bluish-green die-cut that you see on the bag). The flowers are handmade and were also colored using the same mist but I added loads of water and Distress Spray Stain- Picket Fence to lighten the colour. The leaves are also die-cut and colored using Crushed Olive and Shabby Shutters Distress ink. I've added few flower buds and foliage to complete my arrangement and also some tulle for added texture!

The border lace on the kraft bag is the Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch. I have colored my oval die-cuts on the bag and the tag using Heidi Swapp Gold Lame Mist to give the added shine!

The tag was made with the left-over paper from the bag and I've kept the arrangement same so that I could create a matching gift set.

You'll notice I have kept the sentiments very general on both my bag and tag so that this could be gifted for any ocassion be it for a birthday, wedding gift, marriage anniversary or any kind of celebration.

Hope you like my project. and don't forget to play along our challenge to win a Rs 500 gift voucher from our store :)
Have a nice day everyone!

A gift bag with a Tutorial !

Hi everyone!

This is Hussena here with my inspiration post for our current challenge 'Go 3D' hosted by our very talented DT member Shilpa. As you  all have seen my fellow DT members have shared some really awesome inspiration for this challenge and now its my turn.

I have a very simple and an easy to make gift bag to share today and here's how it looks like :

                                                                         

 The side and the back view of the bag!

 And, one more :D

 I have made six of these tags to gift along with the bag. I have kept the tags really simple and the sentiments quite general so that they can be used for any occasion. I also plan to include some chocolates along with these tags!

Tutorial for the bag

 Here is a simple template on how to make the bag :

1. Take a 8 X 11 inches piece of cardstock.

2. On the long side (11 inch), score at 4.5 inches and 6.5 inches.

3. On the short side (8 inch), score at 2 inches and 6 inches.

4. Following the below template, cut on the dotted lines of your scores and fold all your scored lines to create the base of the bag.

5. For the handle of the bag, I have taken a piece of cardsotck measuring 11 inches x 1 1/2 inches.

Tutorial to create the panels on the bag :

For this, you will have to use Watercolor paper ONLY,  as I am showing you a emboss resist technique and also how to build your background color using Distress inks. Watercolor paper will be able to absorb these inks much better than any normal cardstock.For this, you will need four panels one in front one in the back and the two sides .For the front and back panels your cardstock will measure approximately 4.1/2 inches into 3.75 inches and the sides will measure 4.1/2  inches into 1.75 inches

Now onto the tutorial.

1. Stamp and clear emboss any design of your choice on your watercolor cardstock using Versamark ink and  Ranger Super Fine Clear Embossing powder.

2. Starting with your lightest ink start blending the colors on your panels .I have started with Antique Linen distress ink first, second layer will be Tattered Rose,third layer of ink will be Victorian Velvet,then Fired brick and lastly I used Vintage Photo distress ink to color only the sides of the panels. As you keep adding layers of ink, your embossed design will resist the colors creating a beautiful background.I have shown each of the steps below Please click on the individual pictures to get a clearer idea.

3. After all your panels are similarly created, you can adhere them onto the bag and add your embellishments.
