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!

Welcome Baby - Card

Hello crafters!

This is Hussena here to share my inspiration card for our current challenge- Kids Play. I have gone with a new born baby card and kept my sentiment general so that this card would work both for a baby girl or a baby boy.

I have created a layered, embossed card on a kraft color base and used some pretty gold glitter tape to add that bit of shine to my project. The leaves are cut from that glitter tape. What I did was, I adhered the tape on a plain white cardstock and then ran it through my Big Shot with the leaf die. Worked like magic :D

 A close-up of the flower clicked in natural daylight. Looks gorgeous in real life!

I have dry embossed the side panel of the card on the right side and sponged in white pigment ink over it to highlight the embossed design and on the left side, I have stuck a DCWV dotted pattern paper and die-cut the flower using watercolor paper and colored it with Peacock Feathers Distress ink by heavily spraying it with water. Even the side die-cut lace has been colored using  Peacock Feathers Distress ink.

The baby pram is stamped, die-cut and the sentiment has been heat-embossed using Ranger Super Fine Gold embossing powder.

That's it from me. Hope you like my card and feel inspired to play along our challenge this fortnight.

Hello Sunshine - 6x6 Paper Pack

Isn't it just fabulous !!

 Here's my take on the challenge :

As you can see, I decided to go with yellow as my pop of color. I have done a layered card using an  embossed background, paper and dies to create the whole look. I have tried to keep the embellishments to the minimum so as to make my three colors the hero of my card. There are so many possibilities with Black and white plus one color! You can go CAS or layered, or mixed media or just about anything as long as you limit your project to just 3 colors.

The flowers and leaves on my card are die cut and just embossed using a stylus to give them dimension the small rose buds are also handmade using the same flower die which is the Joy craft Floral flourishes (Flower 3).

That's it from my end hope you like my card and it inspires you! :)

Would love to see your take on this challenge, so please do play along to win some really exciting prizes. :)
