Pretty Packaging

Happy New Year everyone!! 

I (Calypso) am so happy to be back in a somewhat full affect blogging mode.  

I LOVE anything kraft!!  I love that you can do so much with it and my project today is a perfect example of that.  I bought these kraft bags, for sending gifts and little "thank you's" to some of my crafty friends.  The bags themselves are pretty bland, but you can dress it up in no time at all. 

I used White Dye ink and Braided Flower Border, to create the bottom design of the bag.  

Easy right?!?!?  You can do this with practically any border stamps.  I love my SweetStamps stamps and love finding new ways to use them. 

The tag was super fun and also very simple to create.   I stamped Tree Gift Tag with the same White Dye ink, onto kraft cardstock.  I trimmed around the stamp to leave a thin border of kraft on the outside.  Then I used my Copic markers (YG67, 17, 25) to color the tree.  I added clear gems and those too were then colored with Copic (V17, BG45, R27, YR18, Y38).

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you can join this weeks challenge:

Thinking of You

It's all about the Food and Drinks this week at Sweet Stamps.

Many of us seem to over indulge this time of year, but

a new year is almost here so why not take the rest of the week to enjoy?!

I created a yummy thinking of you card for a special birthday girl. 

The French Oval Frame highlights the sweet cake just right. I snipped the oval

half and saved the other side for a future project....thrifty, eh?!

Rather than use a Happy Birthday sentiment I chose the fun

I hope you enjoyed my calorie free card today.

Be sure to share your food and/or drink creations with us...you have all week!

I hope you have a happy, healthy New Year!
