Gingerbread Treat Bag

Look at this new Gingerbread Baker Stamp and Die Set that Stampendous has, just in time for holiday treat giving. Today I used it to decorate a Whisker Graphics polka dot bag filled with homemade treats.

1. Using the Gingerbread Baker Stamp and Die Set, die cut the gingerbread man from kraft colored paper. Stamp face and buttons with black ink and sponge edges with Walnut Stain ink. Apply Red Dot Sparklers to the cheeks and top button.
2. Die cut hat, apron and bowl (I just used the heart) from white cardstock. Also die cut bowtie and bowl (again) from red cardstock.
3. Glue diecut pieces onto the gingerbread man and glue him onto a Whisker Graphics bag.
4. Stamp sentiment on white cardstock, cut into a tag shape and stamp checkers on the top and bottom with Satin Red VersaFine Ink. Layer onto a larger kraft color tag, punch a hole and place a kraft circle reinforcer from Paper Studio over the hole.
5. Wrap the folded bag with red and white twine and tie on the tag. Glue on the red heart left over from the bowl die cut piece and your done!

My project today is a gift bag made from a lunch bag. To make it, the Petite Fern stencil was stippled with DecoArt Acrylic Gesso several times and set aside to dry. The topper was made by die cutting white and goldenrod cardstock using the Fitted Frames B set. The white die cut was run through an embossing machine, removed with the Quarterfoil Stencil. With the stencil still on top of the white paper, lightly spray with green spray. Once dry, fold both die cut pieces, glue together and tie with May Arts Ribbon. Glue this to the top of a folded bag. Apply a Fastener Tab to the bag and topper, this will seal the bag but can be reopened and sealed over and over again.

Stamp Thank you from the Say It Today Perfectly Clear Stamp Set with brown ink. Die cut smaller frames from white and goldenrod paper, stamp with brown ink, layer and glue to bag. Add green rhinestones as shown.

Hummingbird Week

Welcome to Tips and Tricks Tuesday #2!
Bag-a-lope

This week the Stampendous Design Team is using the new Hummingbirds stamp set and the matching Hummingbirds Die Cut Set. I'm sharing a gift bag made from a manila envelope other wise known as a bagalope. The bagalope has been around for many years but I haven't seen it much recently, so if you are a relatively new stamper you may not know about this. Here is how it was made;

1. Cut the top off of a pale yellow manila style envelope. Score the sides and bottom at 1".
2. Stamp Elegant Scroll on the top left and bottom right corners with Versamark ink and emboss with PEARLustre Pearl White embossing powder and heat.
3. Sponge the entire bag lightly with Tea Dye ink. Then sponge over the embossed areas with the same ink in a circular manner then also with Vintage Photo ink. Use a paper towel or rag to wipe off the in on the embossed area.

4. Randomly stamp the Elegant Scroll with Antique Linen several times.
5. Stamp flower vine on the right side with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and color with pencils, I used Prisma pencils.
6. Stamp the flower vine again on cream paper, place the matching die over the flower and tape down with REMOVABLE tape. Run it through your die cutting machine.
7. Tap the top of flower with Versamark ink and emboss with Kaleidoscope embossing powder (a clear sparkly powder) and heat. Pop up on the vine using 3D Foam Squares by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

8. Stamp hummingbird on patterned glitter paper with black Versafine ink, sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat. The image will look light when stamped but will darken up after embossed. I tried using Memento ink for this but it didn't darken up enough after being heated.

9. Place the matching die over the hummingbird, secure it with removable tape and run it through your die cutting machine. Pop up with quite a few foam squares, it tends to curl after embossed but the foam squares keeps it flat.
10. Stamp Friends from the Happy Greetings Perfectly Clear Set with Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance and the rest of the saying with Oregano Adirondack ink. These are two separate pieces.

Now for the bag-a-lope

1. So you have already cut the top off being sure you have cut the clasp off and scored the three sides at 1".

2. Fold the score lines back and forth.

3. Open the bag sides and push the middle score line in towards the bag .

4. Flatten the bottom, pinching the corners so you can fold them underneath the bag and glue them with 3 in 1 glue from Beacon Adhesives.

You can make a bag out of any size envelope but sides need to be proportional. With that being said I don't have any exact measurements. I am purely a trial and error kinda gal, measuring is NOT my friend!

The tissue paper was stamped with the Elegant Scroll and Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance.

This week I'm playing along with a couple of challenges, Crazy 4 Challenges which is when you see and empty craftroom what is the first thing you think of putting in it...stamps!!! And Crafty Cardmakers which is something old and something new. Lastly My Craft Creations-anything goes.

Quick And Easy Treat Bag

This week the Stampendous Design Team will be sharing Snowmen with you so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! These cute snowmen make a great thank you card or as I've done, make a cute little treat bag. Snowman Warm Ears was stamped on white paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with pencils. Micro Glitter was added to the fur trim of the hat by sprinkling it on top of Zip Dry Glue. A Spoonful of Snow was embossed at the bottom. This was layered onto green paper and glued to a decorative bag that I picked up at Michael's in the dollar isle.

Big news!!!

Hoo Doesn't Love Dies?!

Welcome to July...the month to DIE for! Yep. All of this month, the Dream Team is featuring our newest toys...our DIES! You'd be surprised at how many we have, and what fun things you can do with them...especially when used in conjunction with many of their stencil counterparts. They are such a simple way to create an effective card.

Here's mine for this week:

1. Fold brown decorative paper in half, place the LL3039 Owl Buddy die on the folded piece with the fold at the top. Make sure a small portion of the die is above the fold so when it is die cut you will have an owl shaped card.

2. Stencil the Owl Buddy onto the center of the of the card with Dreamweaver Stencils Metallic Copper Embossng Paste and let dry.

3. Use the DG751 Nesting Owls die to cut decorative paper from three different patterns. Besure to keep the piece of paper you die cut your owl from, I will show you what can be done with it and the extra pieces on my July 17th post (to be sure not to miss it, you can become an e-mail subscriber and automatically get an e-mail when there is a new post).

4. Pieces were glued on top of the embossed areas with Beacon Adhesives 3 in 1 Glue. The beak and eyes were left so the embossing could be seen.

5. Green decorative paper was stenciled with LG642 Branch with Tea Dye Distress Ink, then layered onto rust paper and glued to a bag that was also stenciled with LG642 Branch.
