Club Projects

Hello friends, happy Friday!  I am sharing today the two projects my stamp clubs made for this month!  Here we go:

The first project uses the Butterflies & Flowers Decorative Masks (stencils), which sadly are backordered until the first part of April.  We used Blending Brushes to color in the layers in shades of Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Poppy Parade, then the leaves in Granny Apple Green:

A sentiment from Easter Friends, some speckles from Quiet Meadow and a few sequins finished it off before mounting it on a Granny Apple Green card base!

Here's another one, same design, but with Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie!

Our second project used the Ombre Gift Bags, but we stepped them up a notch by turning them into a paper bag shape and decorating them with the little duck from Easter Friends:

It's quite easy to transform these flat bags.....simply score along the two sides and bottom at 3/4", just taking care not to score too hard so as not to tear the bag.  Here's one I started:

Fold each section and score with a bone folder, then put your hand inside the bag to open it out and begin to shape it.  You'll see what I mean when you do it!  The outer edges of the bottom of the bag will form two little triangles; glue these down (I put two acrylic blocks inside the bag and press down to get a good seal).

 Fold the sides inward on the score lines, and you have a bag!

Just a heads-up...decorate your bag after you score the sides but before you begin to form it...much easier that way!  We colored Mr Ducky with some Daffodil Delight ink, added a sentiment from A Wish For Everything, diecut the Shimmery White panel with the Scalloped Contour die and then added a butterfly from Positive Thoughts.  We put some Easter candy inside and tied it shut with some Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon:

Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Dana shared her sunset picture with me yesterday:

"The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.  But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken."  Psalm 37:14-15
