So I needed some stamp therapy after work, and decided to play along with the Papertrey Ink blog hop that was already in progress. I skim (key word) the inspiration photo and see that the theme is focused on wraps! So I find a little krafty bag and decide to turn it into a cookie wrap for the holidays....
I stamped the bag with a print from Background Basics: Botanicals and then dotted the insides of the flowers with White Opal Liquid Pearls. Cut the top edge of the bag with the Pearl Lace border die from Memory Box.
I cut a coordinating tag with Tag Sale #3 die and then placed a section cut with the Hexagon Coverplate over the top. Filled in the spaces with images from Happy Hexagons and some Authentique "Festive" patterned paper. Added a sentiment from Holiday Button Bits...AND...went to upload my photo....AND
....realized that the hop was to focus on felt or fabric wraps! Not a stitch of fabric or felt on my little holiday project...unless you count the Vintage Cream grosgrain bow. I fully expect to be disqualified, but was glad that I got to enjoy a bit of stamping time while the kids played with the neighbors, enjoying the last bits of warm weather!
Supplies:
Stamps: Background Basics: Botanicals, Happy Hexagons, Holiday Button Bits, all Papertrey Ink
Paper: PTI kraft and Rustic Cream, Authentique "Festive" patterned paper
Ink: Stampin Up Real Red
Other: PTI Hexagon Coverplate and Tag Sale #3 die, Spellbinders Petite Oval Nestabilities, Memory Box Pearl Lace border die, PTI Vintage Cream grosgrain ribbon, kraft bag, mini clothespin, White Opal Liquid Pearls
whether you followed the 'rules' or not... this is a great project! what a gorgeous background stamp, i love that
ReplyDeleteReally cute bag. I love the design and the liquid pearl on the bag. Just the right touch.
ReplyDeleteI think a fabric bow would qualify!! I love the Christmassy look you gave to the hexagon background on your tag. Before I read your outline I thought it was made from snippets of fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this anyway. It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag and tag even though it DOESN'T have felt or fabric!! :-) I REALLY love the tag: I need to get that hexie die!! Great job Kelly!
ReplyDeleteI think I forgot about the fabric too. Love your bag and gift tag!
ReplyDeleteOh that tag is Devine! And I love what you did to 'look' like fabric!
ReplyDeleteso lovely kelly!
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly, I so love your bag and tag! So cute that I am definitely going to case it! I didn't think I had to have the hexagon plate until now. Guess I'm going to have to add it to my October purchase.
ReplyDeleteOh I've totally done that before... love your project regardless, what a great use of the hexagon die, need to get my out and dust it off. Come check out my project, little helper #2 was helping with in the kitchen.

ReplyDeleteOHHHH this is DARLING! I ADORE that cute bag and that tag.. I too am gonna BORROW that FUN idea.. and Ribbon is fabric enough for me!! HA HA!!

The grosgrain bow counts to me! Love the stamped pattern on the bag. It looks great, especially with the little Liquid Pearls dots.
ReplyDeleteWOW, this is FABULOUS! Love how you used the hexagons on the tag. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI love this project. It is really wonderful. And, don't worry about not actually using felt or fabric--you made a paper project in the spirit of fabric--the hexagon quilted tag. Why not?
ReplyDeleteI'll give you credit for meeting the challenge and count the ribbon - the project is too lovely to exclude!
ReplyDeleteThey are both great but I especially like that tag!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job!
