I'm back crafty friends!!! Today I'm sharing with you not only a super easy project but also how you can send someone some happy mail adding some extra goodies or just to say "hi"! Either way, many of you might know how design pattern paper is my weakness! Since starting my scrap booking crafting journey, I absolutely love love beautiful design paper! This one had a beautiful color combinations that I had not used in a project before, so with that said I decided to set aside the papers I had chose for this particular project.
I had a variety of styles and sizes of paper bags but I chose to use some Medium Treat bags and Mini Treat bags, the medium measure 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 and the mini ones measure 2 1/2 x 4 in. The papers I chose are from Prima Marketing Darcelle collection. I began by cutting the papers 1/8 of an inch from each edge of the front of the bags, I then used some Ingvild Bolme Chalk Ink edgers in the color Blossom Bud, I inked all of the edges then used my Prima Distress tool along some of the edges of the paper. Once I was done with that I had purchsed some Tim Holtz Frosted Film , I've had it for a while now so decided to use it to give it a different look, I love how it turned out, I do wish that my photos showed it better but it does give it a glimmer. I only used it on the medium bag. For the smaller bag, I did the same process as the medium but I used Ranger Tim Holtz Stickles instead of the Frosted film.
To adhere the papers onto the paper bags. I used some of the Helmar Super Tac Eva Glue. I used it on the rest of the paper embellishments as well. I did use some of the Helmar Fabric Glue on the lace and fabric flower I used on the medium bag.
I then wanted to add an image so I chose some of the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls, instead of them being adhered onto the bag flat I used the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, love the way they sit propped up!
I hope that you enjoyed my latest project and just know that using beautiful design paper on a project can make such a difference and don't be intimidated to try things that you haven't yet. Scrapbooking, altering , stamping, this that we do should be fun and no one says your paper should be straight or that you shouldn't have any mistakes cuz there is no such thing !! Till next month my crafty friends!! ~Hugs~ Jeanne
