3D Gift Bag

This die set is a must-have! How often do you need a gift bag? With the new 3D Gift Bag die set from Scrappy Boy Stamps, you can create custom gift bags in any theme you desire. It's super easy to put together, and I recommend using heavy cardstock for the actual bag.

For my project, I designed a princess-themed bag. I really loved the included bow and pocket dies, and I used characters from the Cinderella stamp set as embellishments.

 

Adopt, don't shop!

I love this new stamp set from The Greeting Farm. We recently adopted a new rescue pup, and I was inspired to create this.

Coffee and Sarcasm!

Hello coffee lovers! Melissa here again, and this is my last post as the guest designer for March at the Coffee Loving Paper Crafters blog.  You can follow me on Instagram @melissaoeters and find me on Facebook as thecolorqueen.

My project today features a digital tag image from STAMPlorations.  This was a bonus tag set from one of the other digital images I purchased.  It was a full-page 8 1/2 x 11 with five individual images - a great deal.

This was a quick project because I knew I wanted to use color pencils.  I printed the image on Neenah Bright White and grabbed my pencils. 

Colored Pencils Used:

Coffee:
Luminance 748, 407
Faber-Castell Polychromos 177, 101

Cup:
Faber-Castell Polychromos 123, 125, 128, 101

Florals:
Faber-Castell Polychromos 119, 134, 137, 138, 160, 133, 192
159, 170, 263, 101,109, 133,193, 217, 225, 263, 242, 199

Once I had my coloring done I chose the cardstock colors: black, pink, and purple.  I used Whimsy Stamps die set to cut my layers.  For the sentiment, I used Clearly Besotted, "Laugh Out Loud Coffee" stamp collection.  I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock using Tsukineko Versa Fine Clair Nocturne and mounted it on purple cardstock.

Honestly, I do run on coffee and sarcasm!

The Great Bake Off!

Do you love to bake, or perhaps you just enjoy eating cake? If so, this collection from Scrappy Boy Stamps is exactly what you've been waiting for! You’ll definitely want to consider the complete bundle, which offers savings, but if you prefer to choose individual items, that's an option as well. Everything is available for purchase separately.

Coloring was done using Olo Markers and Polychromos Colored Pencils.
