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!

For my bckground I have used Creata A5 Luxury paper and embossed this with Spellbinders M-Bossabilities A4 Dots folder. I topped this with Creata 6x6 double sided paper. The image I coloured in, matching in with the colour scheme, using Promarkers Almond, Blush, Antique Pink, Cocktail Pink, Cardinal Red, Sandstone and Tan. To finish off I added the die cut Heart border from Joy Crafts made with Creata Metalic card. The flowers and flourishes are all made using various Creata papers and Joy Craft dies.
