How to Construct a Fold Flat Bag

How to Construct a Fold Flat Bag – Dandy Designs – Flowers of Friendship – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This little bag folds flat for easy storage. We made this in a recent card club and I wanted to share it with you as well. I used the Dandy Designs designer series paper (DSP) that I got free during sale-a-bration. I love the bright and vibrant colours in this paper pack. You get 48 sheets in a pack so you won’t run out anytime soon.

How to Make a Twisted Easel Card – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This is a very simple card to make. The paper is the gorgeous Favored Flowers designer series paper (DSP). This is a freebie from Sale-a-bration. It is full of gorgeous florals that you can either use as a full sheet or fussy cut out to create lots of die cuts.

I’ve kept the design very simple so that the DSP is the focal point of the card. I tried adding various extra embellishments but they didn’t seem to add anything to the design so I left it clean and simple.

I love geraniums, my mother always has them in her garden. My favourite are the bright colours of red and pink. When I saw the Potted Geraniums set in the catalogue I wanted it and then of course never used it. I’ve changed this now.

I love the combination of red and blue together. Do you like them as a combo? This stamp set is a two step stamping set. You can stamp just the outline and colour the set it or use the second stamp.

This is a very technique to accomplish and provides a lovely graduation of colour on your image. I’ve used here one of my favourite sentiment stamp sets, Biggest Wish. I’ve used this set over and over again.

This card is been made in two colour ways. The teal one is Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana and the pink one is Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. Which do you like better? For both cards, I stamped the lighter ink first and then sponged on the darker one. The stamparatus makes this very easy to do.

  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm

I love making cute little gifts like this. They don’t take long to make and don’t cost a lot but can brighten up a bad day for a special friend. It’s been ages since I made this style of box and I had to sit and work out the measurements for a while to get it right. It holds 4 delicious-smelling tea lights.

I don’t know about you but I have a ton of tea lights. They smell lovely and there is something special about watching the little flame. It reminds me of log fires and warm cosy fireplaces.

I enjoyed making this card. The presents are actually just one stamp. I stamped it a few times and then cut them apart to create this stack of presents. The little kittie sitting atop the pile is just adorable. You just know the whole pile is going to fall over when he jumps off.

I’ve coloured these images using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know I love. The cards are done in two colour ways. Which do you prefer?

I love pink and blue as a colour combination. It’s one I find myself returning to again and again. This is the gorgeous Framed Florets bundle. The dies cut out not just the stamped images but also these lovely frames. These tiny hearts cut like butter. So easy and so pretty.

The floral images are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The clean and light feel of this card really appeals to me.

I’ve just discovered this technique. Yes, I know I’m late to the party. Can’t wait to try it out more. Double or even triple heat embossing adds a lot of depth and dimension to your heat embossing.

A few tips for you. You the stamparatus to stamp with as it makes sure that your placement for repeat stamping is accurate. Also, make sure your image is totally cool between embossing cycles. Finally, use your embossing buddy to make sure the powder only sticks where you stamp.
