CHNC Christmas #423

This weeks theme is Quick and Easy.  I have used patterned paper and tag from Kaisercraft.


Gift Bag

I've use a little brown paper bag (7x5 inches) to create my gift bag.  The bag was the perfect size for my hand made papers.

Where I live we have been having rolling heat waves, I gave up on glue,m ink paint etc as everything I touch was ot working.  Went outside and made myself a heap of homemade paper.  This is usually about the time I do make it, dries so quickly when you are having 40+ Celsius weather.

The papers on this bag were made with strong coffee added to the water.  The front page had some leaves from a rambling rose (in my garden) pressed into the paper before it was pressed, then left there until the paper was dried. I did it as an experiment, but really loved the effect.

The tag is another colour paper I made during the hot spell.  Stamped with a sentiment.  Flowers, greenery and ribbon from my stash.

Simply Create Too, #146, February 2019

This month at Simply Create Too the theme is "Use Hearts".  I have used Scribbles, "Heart doodles."

I decided to stay away from the reds and pinks of February's Valentines day and go for something a little different.   I added the sentiment.  Printed and coloured with Touch and Little Tipsy pens.  Fussy cut following the line of the frame, then added loads of glitter and liquid pearls.

Layered onto purple and yellow cardstock.  Inside, I have used the same image, but I have removed most of the inside to the frame and added a short verse. By this stage I was thinking engagement card for someone who loves purple.
