Gift Bag

Happy Monday friends!

I am back with another project. This one is a reusable gift bag. I was stumped when I saw the current Peachy Keen Challenge - well more than usual I should say *wink*-The challenge is to stamp a gift bag. Well I must confess I am not into paper gift bags ever since I found the canvas bags at my local HL. I have added ribbon to them, tulle, have made picture transfers, etc... so this time around I was wondering how to stamp on it with fairly good results. then I decided to stamp onto transfer paper and applique the critters, this is the end result, what do you think?



Supplies:

Create a Critter Cart/ Cricut machine
black, gray, white, light gray knit fabric scraps
T-shirt transfer paper
PKS sets: 112,781,754 and PKSC07-July 2012
STAZ ON ink
iron, twine, embroidery floss, needle
double sided Steam Seam interfacing
Printer
sewing machine.


Once again, thank you for stopping by, your comments are always appreciated. Have blessed day!

    That's a great idea to make the bag part of the gift! I might have to try this in the future for birthday parties, etc. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

      Thank you Kim, I loved yours too! I have had so many compliments on the reusable gift backs that I got hooked!! Some times when I am looking for a specific color I saw my own, but I always keep a couple of white ones home just in case ;)
      Have a lovely day!

    The results are great! I like to use canvas bags too, they are not much more and sturdy. Your bag is darling.

      Thank you Melissa!My friends say I switched to reusable bags to compensate for all the paper I buy for cards and scrapbooks LOL!.. all joking aside I truly believe is worth the investment and surely guarantees a unique bag every time.
      Thank you for your comment, have a great day!

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop!                                 Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
