Creata Challenge - #27 Tags and Bags

Good Morning Folks

How are we all this wet, damp day ... it is where I am :( . Whatever it's like, here is something to cheer you up ... a new challenge over at Creata challenge blog. Our theme this fortnight is Tags and Bags, something different from a card! So here is what I came up with a bag with a tag... And of course I had to make a matching card!!

My Sample

Close Ups

For this I have used a plain brown paper bag, decorated with Creata silky card, 12x12 backing paper, backing paper card, Kraft card for tag, Studio Light die cut flowers, lace ribbon and bakers twine from my stash. For the topper I die cut out two circles using Spellbinders Scalloped Circle dies. The tag I just cut out Kraft card in a tag shape, added Creata silky card and some die cut flowers and finished with the twine to tie on.

I just had to make a matching card ....  for this I used Kraft card as my base, using the same silky card, 12x12 backing paper, backing paper card, die cut flowers, lace ribbon and Spellbinders scalloped circle dies. But I added the lovely little freebie Live Laugh Love stamp by Visible Image that I got in a craft magazine.

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope that you can come over to play!

My Sample

Close Ups

I decided to to do something different for a change and created this Gift Bag. I used Creata backing paper card for the background. I printed off 3 Eggs, to decoupage, coloured them in using Promarkers Canary, Leaf Green, Pear Green, Apple, Sunkissed Pink, Rose Pink, Cerise and Cool Aqua. Once cut out and put together, I placed on top of backing card. I added hints of Ranger Stickles glue on to the middle of the flower for effect. I added flowers from my stash, along with leaf flourishes made using Joy Craft die and Creata Mirror card. The sentiment I printed on to Creata Craft card and die cut using Spellbinders Labels 15. Then to finish off I added some lovely green shimmery ribbon from my stash!

I hope you like what I have done and that it inspires you to join in the fun with us over at Craftitude. Looking forward to seeing all your gorgeous makes!

Well for my sample, I decided to go for a colour other than the usual black, so I chose blue. I have used an A5 white card blank, then I coloured the edges with ultramarine blue Panpastel. I used Creata blue mirror card for my background. On top of this I used plain white card, covered with Creata blue Organza. I edged this with two heart borders die cut from Creata Silky card  using Joy Craft die. I added blue ribbon form my stash to decorate. For my topper I have used the digi image 'Wedding Couple' by Jellypark which you can purchase here. I coloured image using Promarkers Almond, Blush, Sandstone, Tan, Caramel, Powder Blue, Cornflower and Pear Green. I topped this on to some Creata silky card, die cut using Spellbinder decorative labels eight. For some sparkle, I added fine glitter glue to highlight flowers in Bride's hair, bouquet and Groom's button hole. To finish off, I added flowers and flourishes made from Creata Silky, mirror and backing card, die cut using Joy Craft dies. Brads used are from my stash.

Craftitude Challenge - # 62

Good morning All, can't believe it's that time again for another new challenge over at Craftitude. This fortnight the theme is Anything Goes or Add Corrugated Paper or Cardboard. Our sponsor is the fabulous :-

Meljens Designs

So on to my sample project.....for this I have chosen the digi image Fisher Moose, who I just adore. I printed on to watercolour card and have coloured him in using Promarkers, Star Dust gel pen and lightly rubbed over some Pan Pastel in Yellow Ochre and Turquoise. I topped this on to some Creata green mirror card. I used a C5 card base with Creata green mirror card and a fishing theme background 12x12 paper by Personal Impressions that I had in my stash, which I thought was very apt for Fisher Moose!. I added a few bits of fishing themed sticker toppers again from my stash, I printed out the sentiment, added another sticker topper and topped on to Creata mirror card. To finish off I added some Creata mirror/silky card die cut Joy Craft leaf flourishes to represent seaweed.
