Celebrate Canada gift bags.

 

 I decided to create gift bags. They are quick & easy and fun. Forgive me for not using the best bags, it was all I had in the middle of the night to create with. (don't you ever wish stores were open at 1am??? lol)

 

All you need is red & white cardstock from Cored'inations Color Core Cardstock, some pp paper. Wheneve I see Canada Day pp, I stock up. It's hard to find, and I don't mind using stuff from my 16yr old stash. :)

 

I cut all the flowers out of Sizzix Bigz XL Die - JumboTattered Florals.  I layered the colours, the pp and then added some tinsel to the centre of the flower. Make sure you use a strong adhesive to keep all the layers together. Of course I use Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  For this I used DODZ™ - 3D because they are super sticky!

The Maple Leaf one that looks like a flag is the easiest to  recreate.  I first cut a Sizzix Bigz Die - Leaf, Maple and then placed it in the middle of the bag. Then I cut 2 strips of red and put on each side.

 

Cannot wait to fill these with fun games and stuff for the kids! Great little bags to take to the park for Canada Day celebrations!

 

 

Thanks for looking!

How fun are these new 1950's dies from Sizzix? super awesome!

First I started our cutting a whole bunch of banners out of chalkboard cardstock from Core'dinations Color Core Cardstock.  Here they are close up so you can see what they look ike embossed.

Then I made all the little icons mostly out of sparkly paper. I wanted that kind of kitchy feel.

Here is what the banner looks like up in our kitchen!

Thanks Teachers!

 

First cut out the card form.

Then fold it up.

Add the red apples.

Then add whites. (these I just free cut)

Then I added seeds (which are Dew Drops from "The Robin's Nest")

Then I added glitter around the edges of the whites.

Don't forget to add all the little details such as leaves, tags, twine, etc.

Here is what the finished product looks like!

I made one of these for all the teachers. Hope they like them. I had fun making them.
