Just for You Bag

I have another great project from the shoebox swap to show you.

 

Donna provided this darling bag for us to make.  You can find a tutorial for how to make this on Becky's blog.

Those of you who read my blog regularly know that I love designer series paper.  I use it on just about everything I make.  I have to say that this Cottage Wall DSP is my favorite new paper in the catalog.  The color combination and the designs are just gorgeous.  I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of this paper in my future projects.

The flower accent was made using the Flower Daises #2 Big Shot die.  It's two large flowers (one cut from DSP and the other from Rich Razzleberry cardstock) and one small Rich Razzleberry flower.  I finished off the flower with a Kiwi Kiss Corduroy button in the center.  I think everything else on the bag is pretty much self-explantory.

Thank you for stopping by!  ~Dannie

Big Shot Box

Sorry to keep disappearing on you.  I was without internet for almost two weeks.  It was so frustrating!  Now I need to make up for lost time and show you all the fun projects I've been making lately. 

 

I made this big shot box at the last shoebox swap I attended.  I started with a piece of Certainly Celery cardstock and embossed it using SU! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates.  After it was textured, I ran it through the Big Shot again using the Petal Card die to give it the shape needed for the lid of the box.

 

The base of the box is a 6" x 6" piece of Old Olive cardstock.  I scored it at 1 3/4" on all four sides and then cut, scored, and folded it to form it into a box.

 

Once the base of the box was formed, I placed the Certainly Celery cardstock on top and folded the curved pieces down over the sides of the box.  I took a piece of Very Vanilla Grosgrain and wrapped it around the sides of the lid to hold it in the shape of a box.

The lid was decorated with a few more die cuts from the Big Shot.  I used a couple of flowers from the Flower Daises #2 Die, the butterfly came from the SU! Beautiful Butterflies Die, and the leaves came from the SU! Little Leaves Die.  I folded the butterfly in half and then punched out some circles using a 1/4" and 1/8" circle punch.  I love the way it turned out.

Thank you Mona for the darling project.  I'll see you tomorrow!  ~Dannie

It's All Good

Those of you who read my blog regularly know how much I love using Julee's sketch challenges.  I went to her blog and looked over the past few challenges that I've missed and I decided to give this sketch a try.

 

This was such a fun layout to work with.  It's a little difficult to see in the photo, but I sponged Baja Breeze ink around all of the Whisper White layers as well as on the edges of the Parisian Breeze designer series paper.  I think everything else on the card is pretty self-explanatory.

 

For the inside of the card I also sponged Baja Breeze ink around the Whisper White layer and the designer series paper.  This is definitely a layout I'll be using again in the future.  Give it a try!  Thanks for stopping by.  ~Dannie
