Just Add Ink #578

Hi everyone, I am playing along this week with the Just Add Ink challenge.  It has been awhile since I have played along with the challenge so here goes.

The challenge this week is a sketch by Narelle.  I really like the layout of this sketch and it is also perfect for using up the smaller pieces of Designer Series Paper leftover from other projects.

I decided to use the Merriest Moments stamp set and the Merriest Frames Dies as I had these out on my craft table from last weekend's card class.  I also used a piece of the Real Red and White striped patterned paper from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper pack.

The Basic White background was embossed using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.

I do have a Real Red circle behind the Poinsettia Flowers, it kind of got a little lost but you can just see the top of the circle.

Hope you enjoyed this project.

A footnote to this post, YAY I was a winner.

Thank you for visiting.

Jolly Santa Box

A Merry Hello Gift Card Holder

Hi everyone, sharing a slider gift card holder that I cased from Dawn Griffith.  I really loved the idea of this gift card holder, you can also use it for Lotto Tickets, Scratchies or Money.

I changed to width of the holder slightly so that I could get two from the one piece of A4 Paper.

The measurements are:

• Piece of Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 4" x 11"
• Piece of Basic White cardstock 3 3/4" x 3"
• Designer Series Paper - Red & White stripe - 3 3/4" x 6" (inside)
• Designer Series Paper - Red & White stripe - 3 3/4" x 2" (front)
• Designer Series Paper - Green & Red pattern - 3 3/4" x 3" (front)
• Designer Series Paper - Green & Red pattern - 3 3/4" x 2 1/2" (inside)

Dawn has a great video on how to put this together which can be found here.  

I did change the closure, using a small velcro dot instead of how Dawn did the closure.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and the stamp set I used is Be Jolly.  Santa was coloured using Stampin' Blends.

Thank you for visiting.

A Merry Hello Gift Card Holder

Christmas Gift Bag

Hi everyone, sharing a Christmas Gift Bag that fits a 130g tin of Walkers Shortbread Biscuits.  Perfect for a little gift giving.

The bag is made of a piece of 12" x 12" piece of cardstock and was made using the Wishes and Wonder stamp set and the matching North Pole Wonder Dies.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Heartwarming Hugs paper pack.

Measurements

12" x 12" Real Red cardstock

Green Dotted Designer Series Paper 4" x 12"

Striped Dotted Designer Series Paper 2" x 12"

Whisper White cardstock for tag, mistletoe, sleigh and sentiment circle

Gold Foil Sheet for reindeer and sentiment circle

Technique

1.    Score the 12" x 12" piece of cardstock on one edge at 2 1/4" and 9 3/4".  Score the other edge at 2 1/4" x 5 3/4", 8" and 11 1/2".  At 7" score the two side pieces as per the diagram below. On these side sections measure 1" up from the 7" score line and place a small dot at the centre (this should be at 1 1/8"), then find the centre of the top of the side sections.  Score in a straight line from the top of the side sections to where you have placed the mark 1" inch up from the 7" score line.  From this mark score on the diagonal on both sides to the corners of where the 7" line score mark meets the long side score line.  You are creating the upside down Y that will form where the sides of the bag fold in.   

2.    Cut as per the diagram below and fold into making the bag and adhere together.  Round the corners of the flap that folds down.  Attach two sets of Velcro Dots to the flap so that it keeps the bag closed.

3.    Adhere the Designer Series Paper to the bottom half of the bag.

4.    Die cut the tag, reindeer and gold foil sheet fluted circle.

5.    Stamp the sentiment in Black Memento ink and die cut using the circle die.  Adhere to this to the Gold Foil Sheet fluted circle.

6.   Stamp the sleigh using Black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and colour using the Dark Real Red Stampin' Blend. Die cut.

7.    Stamp two of the Mistletoe image using Black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and colour using the Dark and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends.  Die cut.

8.    Create the tag using all the elements.

9.    Tie the two pieces of ribbon together to create a bow and attach to the tag using Glue Dots.

10.   Attach the tag to the flap of the bag.
