Hello everyone and happy Friday! I’m here today with one final project using the fun Sketchy Alphabet stamp set. For my project today I decided to create a gift bag using one of the white bags available in the Precious Remembrance Shop store.
My little bag is pretty simple. I started by creating a rosette from some patterned paper from My Mind’s Eye. I used a small circle on the back to stabilize the rosette and then adhered the rosette to a pink doily that you can also find in the Precious Remembrance Shop store. Using a neutral piece of paper from the same pad I stamped the words ‘for’ and ‘you’ in pink and then die cut it with a circle die. The circle was adhered to the rosette and then I added a little bow twine with some paper twine. To complete the bag I added a strip of coordinating patterned paper to the bag and a pink button (rose quartz from the Precious Remembrance Shop store) to the center of the twine. I hope you will give this super fun and easy project a try using your Precious Remembrance Shop stamps! Don’t forget… if you place a qualifying order of $30 or more you will automatically receive 10 stamp storage pouches!
Hope you have a wonderful day… thanks for stopping by!
After coloring them in with a marker, I sponged the circle with Distress Oxide fossilized amber, leaving the center white. The edges were sponged with the gathered twigs to help add definition over the background. Leaf images work well for both masculine and feminine cards, but this one is for a male relative. Color combinations that might not work for clothing can make beautiful cards. Here I used Distress Oxide fossilized amber, cracked pistachio & twisted citron. 
To be sure the circle tied in with the background, I sponged the card edges with fossilized amber and gathered twigs before adding the brown splatters. Keeping with the masculine theme, I just tied on brown twine & added a wooden burst. The circle was mounted with thin fun foam giving a bit of dimension. 
Hope I’ve inspired you to use beautiful leaf images all year long and maybe try out some different color combinations.
Earlier in March it seemed like spring had arrived in the Pacific Northwest, but it is now April and our warm spring-like weather seems to have left… I hope it comes back soon, lol! In the meantime I thought I would bring a bit of spring to the blog today with my project. I started by looking through my stash of patterned paper and came up with the yellow striped paper. I stamped one of the flowers from the

I had enough of the cardstock left to cut 3 thin strips for the bottom of the tag. Yellow and white twine was tied in a bow & attached with liquid glue to finish it off. Before adhering the tag, I stamped a few solid and open hearts from the
