Kiss Me I'm Irish-ish : gift bag

Here is another quick project, a St Patrick's Day gift bag.

I have recently been inspired by lots of crafting projects using watercolour pencils and chalks.  Oh my gosh this is the simplest technique EVER.  I punched a tag using watercolour card stock and drew some lines in the colours of the rainbow using chalk pencils and blended them together with a chubby stick.  That's it!

I punched some banner tags out of patterned papers and layered them onto my paper bag.  

I printed out my sentiment from LD Hello - Patty - Phrases and a larger clover leaf which I Print and Cut, to make an embellishment to go on top of my glittered peg. Printed sentiments are great fun to use and super easy with my Pazzles Inspiration. This one is a cutting file which enabled me to adjust the colouring for my printer and resize.


 The LD Hello - Patty - Phrases are FREE till Thursday, midnight MST, see HERE. They will still be available but will revert to original price after Thursday.

Clover Leaf St Patrick's Gift Bag

Hi everyone......I learnt something new today using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.  It makes me smile when I do that! So, here is my St Patrick's Day Gift Bag which can be filled will all sorts of yummy St Paddy's gifts.

I used the Wine Bag cutting file found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library cut out of Kraft Card which makes it into a strong bag.

I made a front panel using the Pazzles InVue software and added some clover leaves, but I wanted to give them some dimension.

So, I played around with the Cut Path tool and this is the look I achieved.........so exciting as I love challenging myself using new software. 

I just love how the centre part of the clover leaf is not cut away, enabling me the curl the leaves creating the dimension I wanted to achieve.  I punched a little flower for the centre and added a self adhesive pearl.  I also inked around the leaves of the clover leaf for definition using Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

I added some brown twine and secured the opening of the bag with a wooden peg.

 Of course, you could change the clover leaves and add flowers, hearts or butterflies to the front of the bag, which would look pretty too........I might try that idea someday!
