Birthday Time!

Hi, it's Lois here again.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  Now it's time to get back to work . . . or fun, as the case may be!   I have another fun birthday card for you today using a few CottageCutz Mini, Petite, and Expression dies.


Supplies needed for this card are:

Card base - white cardstock, balloon patterned paper
Scraps of colored cardstock - pink, green, purple, red, yellow, orange, black, white
Ink - Distress Worn Lipstick
Other - red pen, ribbon, foam pop dots, adhesive sheet, scallop border punch, ruler, pencil

I started with a white card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded in half.  Using a pencil and ruler, I marked in 1/2" on all four sides.


Using a red pen, I drew a border around the edge. Then I cut a strip of patterned paper 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" and punched the scallop border down the long left-hand side, adhered it to the left-hand side of the card and ran a ribbon round the center, gluing to the inside of the card.


Next I cut all my dies. I wasn't sure how many balloons I was going to need, so I arbitrarily cut six of them. 


As it turned out, I used only five of the balloons on the front of the card, so I put the sixth one on the inside.



I had cut two present die-cuts -- one in pink cardstock and one in patterned paper.  I cut the ribbon portion of the pink one out and backed the hearts with a small strip of red.   After sponging around the outside of the patterned paper, I glued the ribbon to the package.


All that was left was to construct my card.  To make it a bit easier, I had put an adhesive sheet behind some of the cardstock for the smaller die-cuts, such as the sentiment dies, string and shadow on the balloon die.  The sentiment is glued flat, while the balloons and present are popped up on foam dots.

Project: Small gift bag


Today I am sharing a cute Gift bag I created with Beautiful 
 
 
 For my project, I used small turquoise gift bag from Dollar Store. 
First, I cut Present out 2 times using orange and green card stock and then, sponged edges with craft ink. Glued image together (so cute present box.....love it).
 
 
Next, I cut classic and scalloped squares and glued together for making background on gift bag. Added orange line on edges and green rhinestones. Finally, I added image on created background and glued on gift bag.  Decorated image with rhinestones. 
I, also, added stamped sentiment on tag on gift bag. Inside the gift bag, I put orange gift wrapper. 
I think, this is cute gift bag perfect for gift card or small gift things. 
Love it!!!!!
