Petite Cafe Gift Bags

-
Hi Everyone,
Well I thought I would share my "teacher" gifts.  I have seen on Pinterest and Facebook people using these Petite Cafe Gift Bags and decorating them up, popping fudge or biscuits into them (because they have a special lining in them so they are food grade).
So....... I thought I can do that, found a cool recipe for Bailey's Fudge (yumm) checked none of the teachers were tee totallers!
And here we are:  
 
Here is a closer look at of one of the bags:
 
I have added 1cm strips of Gold foil cardstock to give interest to the bag,
and the
 Whisper White 
  Mini PomPom 
 trim, I have really got into now! I've just attached it with some of the tear and tape adhesive, which I've folded back onto itself to make it fit.

I have used the Peaceful Pines Stamp set and matching framelits to cut out the tree

The other side of the bag looked a bit plain, so.............
I found a bit of pretty Designer Series Paper (sorry it's a retired one now), cut into a 6" by 8cm piece, then another piece of the gold foil cardstock, cut with the Banners Framelit dies
and Layered with a white piece (again cut with the same dies)

I'm pretty pleased with the way the bags turned out, and the fudge isn't too bad either!

Hopefully the teachers (and bus drivers) enjoy it :) If I was a better cook I probably would have tried this out ages ago! LOL

Ah well hopefully I've inspired you to have a go at decorating a bag with some goodies in it!  You can purchase these bags by clicking on the link 😊

God Bless love

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
