A matching Springtime Vintage bag complete with gift
Yesterday I shared with you the card that I'd made to welcome a new member of our Stampin' Up! team. And I'm back now as promised to share the little gift bag that I made to go with it.
This is the little bag that I sent to Hazel:
Recipe
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze
Ink: Stampin' Pastels
DSP: Springtime Vintage
Punches: Eyelet Border, Round Tab
Seam Binding Ribbon: Baja Breeze
Bigz L Die: Fun Flowers
Embosslits Die: Sweet Buttons
Other: Crystal Effects
The bag design is the same one as in my Greenhouse Garden tutorial here. To trim it up, I made the flower in the same way as for the matching card.
Inside I'd popped some 6" x 6" Springtime Vintage DSP together with a pack of matching ribbons:

Welcoming another team member with a card
Recipe
Stamp set: Something to Celebrate
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
Ink: Very Vanilla, Stampin' Pastels
DSP: Springtime Vintage
Punches: Eyelet Border, Modern Label
Seam Binding Ribbon: Baja Breeze
Bigz L Die: Fun Flowers
Embosslits Die: Sweet Buttons
Other: Crystal Effects, Basic Pearls
The card blank is an A6 landscape of Baja Breeze. A mat of Very Vanilla was punched along the very bottom with the Eyelet Border and covered with strips of Springtime Vintage DSP. Sticky strip was laid all along the join at the middle and Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon gathered and pleated along it for an easy ruffled ribbon. These layers were adhered direct to the card front. Using the Fun Flowers Die I cut the large and small flowers from Very Vanilla card and the middle one from Springtime Vintage DSP. The edges of the card flowers were dusted with the Baja Breeze chalk. The sentiment was stamped in Baja Breeze ink onto Very Vanilla card, punched out with the Modern Label, dusted again with chalk and adhered directly behind the smallest flower. The petal layers were adhered direct to each other and then dimensionals were used to pop the flower on the front of the card. A faux button was made and added to the centre of the flower (join our August technique class to learn how to make these!). Finally a little pearl was added to the end of the label.
I'll share the gift with you tomorrow.
Want to join my team? I need to catch up with Jan now, she's beating me in growing her team :D
