Final project using April's SOTM Rose Wonder & a Giveaway!


Hello Friends!

  How are you all doing? Can you believe we have come to the end of another month. April just flew right on by, dontcha think? How is your weekend so far? Ours is a little cool and rainy. I am so looking forward to summer! I live in a shore resort town, so things have started to pick up here. Seasonal businesses are now starting to open and people are coming down getting their homes ready for the summer. I have even smelled some delicious food aromas coming from the restaurant behind me on the bay! So Summer hurry up!!  :)

Okay so moving on,  today I am bringing you the final project using this month's stamp of the month, Rose Wonder and the Rose Garden thinlits. Rose wonder comes from the Occasions catalogue and can be found on my website HERE.  This stamp set is beautiful and I have been having so much fun creating with it! It also has matching thinlit dies too, and for today's project, I used several of the thinlits. You may find the thinlits HERE or if you're like me and like to have stamps with their matching dies, you can also do the bundles. You can find the Rose Wonder and the Rose Garden thinlits Dies Bundle ID#140804 HERE . So here is what I made for you. Cute little gift bags for any occasion!


 I have a few things coming up in which I needed a cute gift bag, Mother's day and a birthday. I decided to pull out Mint Macaron #138337, Whisper White #100730 and The In Color Designer Series Paper #138432 paper & cardstock and my basic black & mint macaron ink pads. So to make the gift bags, I used my Gift Bag punch board #135862. I created the bag by starting off with a piece of 5 1/2" by 11" cardstock and used my medium line. I just LOVE this punch board! I have made many gift bags of various sizes with this board and it has come in handy so many times for giving out little gifts, gift cards and candies. So as you can see, I created two gift bags. One was created using whisper white cardstock as the base and then using some mint macaron cardstock and a piece of "Love Blossoms Designer series paper #140548" for the panels. And just so you know, the Love Blossoms DSP and cardstock are retiring! If you have been wanting this, you should get it while it is still available. This gift bag is going to be for my mother's gift for Mother's day. The second gift bag was used with some mint macaron cardstock as the base and a piece of striped mint macaron & whisper white DSP and will be used to give a gift card for an upcoming birthday. 
  
 

 To embellish each gift bag, I stamped the little flower from the Rose Wonder Stamp set #140697 in mint macaron ink onto some mint macaron cardstock and DSP. I then took the coordinating die from the Rose Garden Thinlits #140619 and cut it out of whisper white. I stamped the same image on top of the die cut flower to give it a little bit of the mint color. Then I stamped the frame in basic black onto whisper white and took the coordinating die and cut it out. For my mother's gift bag, I stamped the sentiment, "What a beautiful blessing you are to me" in mint macaron ink and for the birthday gift bag, I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment, also in mint macaron ink. Lastly, I die cut some of the leaf sprigs out of mint macaron cardstock. I took the leaf sprigs and adhered them to the bags first and then added the framed sentiment. Then I popped up the flower and added that to finish off the focal point for my embellished bags. Both sentiments are from the Rose Wonder stamp set and all coordinating dies are from the Rose Garden thinlits dies. To finish off the bags, I punched the holes at the top of the bags,  added some Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon for the handles and added some tissue paper inside.  I really hope you like them!
