Bag with Cards

I have come across many tutorials for this kind of Card Bag, but I needed one that would fit my small square cards so I sat the other night designing my own template.  I was surprised at how long it took me and I take my hat off to all those talented ladies who create endless projects and tutorials!

Because of the height of the bag I had to use a sheet of 12x12 Designer Series Paper in Pumpkin, although I could have used A4 card with a join.  The Designer Series paper is great quality and this bag is actually quite sturdy, the 4 cards fit snug along with their envelopes and would make a lovely gift.  I was really satisfied with the end result and all that paper I used designing the template will of course be recycled!!

Tomorrow I am hoping to post details of a monthly Card Workshop that I will be holding locally and an Open Day to promote it!

Carte Postale

Just a quick post this evening and guess what, another card using the Chocolate Chip Designer papers and Carte Postale stamps, this set has now retired and I will be moving onto other stamp sets as soon as they arrive with me!!  Thank goodness I hear you all shouting!

I have used the Scallop Edge Punch to create a border around my stamped image and tied Certainly Celery 5/8" grosgrain ribbon around the top section of the card.  My sentiment is stamped using the "Ovals All" stamp set and punched out with the Oval and Scallop Oval Punches.  The centre flower in the image has been double stamped, hand cut and a dimensional has been used to give depth.

Supplies Used:

Whisper White & Chocolate Chip cardstock

Chocolate Chip Designer Series Paper

Certainly Celery 5/8" grosgrain ribbon

Stamps from the "Carte Postale" (now retired) and "Ovals All"

Scallop Border, Oval and Scallop Oval Punches

Chocolate Chip & Old Olive Stamp Pads

Dimensionals

More Chocolate Chip!

Upon my travels I have come across many blogs that showcase 3D projects and thought that I would spend some time last night creating similar ones but with my own measurements, wow, I was shocked just how much time I sat, getting things wrong and starting again, but eventually got there and will show you in the next few days what I made.

I wanted to use up some scraps of the Designer Paper that I had left on my desk so decided to alter a notepad and was quite pleased with the end result. Yet again I have used a stamp from the retired "Carte Postale" set which by nowm you must know I am liking at the moment!! The paper is from the Chocolate Chip Designer Series range and I used the scallop border punch and circle punch.

Loving Chocolate Chip!

I have spent the best part of today sat in my craft room creating, mostly using the stamps from "Carte Postale" (recently retired) and the Chocolate Chip Designer Papers. I am loving the "Oval Alls" stamp set, great for all card occasions and they co-ordinate with the Oval and Scallop Oval punches which is great. I like the simplicity of this card, not fussy at all, just quite plain, but I like it that way!

Here is a list of supplies that I used:-

Whisper White Textured Cardstock

Chocolate Chip Cardstock

Chocolate Chip Designer Series Paper

Chocolate Chip Ink Pad

Ovals All Stamp set

Carte Postale Stamp set (just retired)
