3D Thursday - Vibrant Petal Park Bag

 Hello there! Isn't this such a fun bag?!? I love how the colors just pop off that black background. I was so excited when I found out we can get an embossed image in pretty much any color we want, AAAAND, it's super easy! 

This is a good size bag to put little treats in. You could fit a tiny notepad and pen, along with some chocolates, or maybe some travel sized body care products with a tealight candle. I think it's the perfect size to give someone a little treat for no particular reason other than to brighten up their day. 

Measurements for this bag:

• Bag 6 x 11
• scored on long side at 3 1/2, 5 1/4, 8 3/4, 10 1/2
• scored on short side at 1 3/4
• Flirty Flamingo panel 4 x 3 1/4
• Basic Black panel 3 3/4 x 3
• Handles 10" 

So, who would you give this little bag to and what kind of goodies would you put in?

Technique Tuesday C is for Cling Wrap "Painting"

Hello there! I'm back with another Technique Tuesday. This week we are on to the letter "C" which stands for Cling Wrap. We're going to use this kitchen product to make a beautiful "painted" background to use on our card. It's pretty simple to do, and you'll never get the same results twice. 

What do you think? Try this out with different colors. I paired some blues and grays with the Legendary Ride stamp set to get a more masculine card. Same layout, totally different feel. I've kept both cards blank as I'm not sure what I'm going to use them for right now. Might just use them as notecards.

Throwback Thursday - On the Ocean

 Hello there! I'm sorry it has been a little while. We had several out-of-state graduations to attend and then also moved our youngest out of her dorm and bedroom here and into an apartment. Needless to say, my schedule has been a bit full. 

This card was actually designed from one of my trips. My daughter asked me to bring some birthday cards my grandson could use for his friends, so I pulled out the retired Magical Day stamp set for those. After designing the cards, I realized the layout would work really well for some graduation cards I needed to make for my husband to use for his students. Since their mascot is a pirate, On the Ocean was the perfect set to use. 

The card is super simple, which makes it a great choice for cards that you need to make multiples of. 

Measurements:

• Card base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Black panel - 5 1/4 x 4
• White outside panel - 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
• Black strip - 1/2 x 4
• White inside panel - 5 1/4 x 4
