Bags and Matching Tags - Lili's Double Pocket gift bag

Hi everyone! It's Sandie here with my last GDT post for Inky Impressions. I have had a blast this past 2months and have loved working with these wonderful stamps again. 

I have used another tutorial on Splitcoaststampers to make my project today - It is a double pocket gift bag, which only uses one 12x12 sheet of heavy paper or cardstock. 

I've chosen to use Lili's Secret and I've coloured her up with copic markers, then trimmed her out and adhered her to the bag using 3D pop dots. 

My papers are from the Dots and Stripes collection by Echo Park. These are double sided and perfect for this type of project. The border, background sticker and tag are also in the pack.

The handles are made from black grosgrain ribbon secured with gold rimmed pearl brads. I've also added some bling in the form of some Prima pearl swirl.

There is plenty of room in both pockets to add some delicious treats and this bag can be adapted to suit any occasion.

I do hope you like my project and you are inspired to be a little bit creative today.

Have Fun!!

Cookies for Santa - Treat Bag Covers with Tags

Hi everyone. Sandie here with some inspiration for you in the form of some Treat Bag covers with matching tags. 

I used another tutorial from the Splitcoaststampers site. Splitcoast is such a wonderful resource for ideas and templates. You can find the instructions for this treat bag cover HERE. I chose non-traditional christmas colours. You could use these covers for all sorts of occasions and don't forget Valentine's isn't that far away ;)

The sentiment I've used is available in digi format HERE and you can print it to any size so it will fit perfectly onto any of your projects. For the border work I used the Martha Stewart Antique Lace punch. I embossed the white card with the Sizzix Snowflake folder and layered it onto coloured card then adhered it to a contrasting coloured treat back cover.

I punched 2 holes in the top of each treat bag cover with a crop-a-dile and threaded various different ribbons/lace/twine through the holes to close them, then I attached the 'Cookies for Santa' tags with some pink bakers twine.

These are so easy, and are such fun to make. Be sure to link up in the comments if you decide to give them a go. We'd love to see :)

Thanks for dropping by today.

Holiday Milk Carton Box

Hi everyone! It's Sandie here and I would love to share a project I made using one of the newest release Inky Impressions stamps -  MarLeigha & Pebbles Ice Skating

I love paper folding projects and recently found a tutorial for a single Milk Carton Box on Splitcoaststampers. To make this project  you will need one sheet of 7" x 11" cardstock, a trimmer, scoring board, adhesive and embellishments of choice.

The patterned papers I've chosen to use are from Bo Bunny's Blitzen Collection. You just need one sheet of 6x6. I used a Martha Stewart Antique Lace punch for the border work and I added some white lace and blue sateen ribbon on top of the punched border. 

I coloured my image with copic markers and cut it out using the classic circle nestabilities, then matted it onto a scalloped circle which I've also done with nestabilities. The I adhered it to the box with 3D foam dots for added dimension. 

I applied some star dust Stickles to the trim of MarLeigha's coat and her headband and finished by adding a white flower and a couple of white pearls. 

This is a very quick project to make and once you get the hang of the paper folding they are quite easy. Perfect for Teacher's gifts this Christmas. 

Thanks for dropping in.
