Just in time for Mother’s Day are these cute but delicate daffodil bags for Mom. They are filled with a glittered stylus pen, encouraging post-it notes, earrings, and some sweets for just $8. Come see me at the market on Saturday to pick one up.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I am going to show you how to create this delicate daffodil bag. It’s not a die but simply a sheet of card stock.
The supplies you will need are as follows:
Thick Basic White Card Stock
Basic White Card Stock
Blending Brush
Blender Pen
Mango Melody
Daffodil Daydream Bundle
1/4″ Gold Shimmer Ribbon
Paper Trimmer
Double Oval Punch
Tear & Tape Adhesive
Dimensionals (regular and mini)
For the outer bag cut with the Paper Trimmer the Thick Basic White Card Stock to 4 1/4″ X 11″. On the 11″ side score at 4 1/2″ and at 6 1/2″. Punch out the handle with the Double Oval Punch.
The front and back panels are Basic White Card Stock cut to 4″ X 2 3/4″. You will need two of these. Use the Blending Brush to make yellow.
The sides or insert for the bag are Basic White Card Stock cut to 3″ X 3 1/4″. Score on three sides at 1/2″. Do not score the top. Cut the corners out and place Tear & Tape on all three tabs or sides and bottom. Attach to bag.
Stamp daffodil, butterfly, and sentiment in Mango Melody. Use Blender Pen to color. Attach with Dimensionals.
Anyone interested in doing a couple of projects, having lunch, playing Yahtzee, and getting prizes? I am thinking of doing a Yahtzee tournament with Stampin’ Up! prizes on May 28 from 10-2. Who’s around this Memorial Day weekend and is interested?
I am asking before I order prizes, do invites, etc.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today I want to talk about being careful with what you leave around.
I was cleaning up a pile after one of the events last month. And I know it is spring so I am looking for more bugs than usual. But this bug was huge and gnarly looking. I had never seen something like this before. What could it be? Was it native to here? Could it kill me?
I finally get the courage up to go look a bit closer. (This is when I am wishing that hubby is home.) And it looks dead. So I prepare to take it outside in a box and burn the entire thing. Right? That is the appropriate reaction?
Well, it is a black die cut snowflake. No spider. Just a crumpled up snowflake.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Instead of a technique today I thought you might want an organization tip. Since the new catalog just came out and we all have to figure out how everything is going to fit (again).
So I thought I would talk about how I organize my Designer Series Papers or 12X12’s. I have magazine holders that are 14 inches across. When I unwrap the paper I take the backing or chipboard and a piece of Basic White Card Stock. With a sharpie or marker I write the name of the paper pack and glue it to the chipboard to create a tab. I then “file” my papers in the holder. I don’t usually worry about dust but I do think about sun. They are pretty protected in these holders.
If you want to do something similar these holders are available in just about every office supply store, online or in person. Just make sure the opening is truly 14 inches.
