Project Focus: Christmas in July
{joy & peace} Bag by Marilyn Scheller; Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Season’s Greetings Sentiments; Papers: Imaginisce Polar Expressions; Tools: Whimsy Stamps Shape EZ Poinsettia and Roll Bag templates; Embellishments: Pearl brad from the stash; the ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon Techniques: Since I don’t have a cutting machine, I simply printed the template on the wrong side of the paper, cut it out, scored the fold lines, and ran a couple strips of glue and the bag are nearly finished. I cut two holes front and back, pulled the ribbon through and tied the bow. For the poinsettia (because I didn’t want to run glitter paper through the printer,) I printed it on plain white paper and attached it to the glitter paper with a dab of adhesive and cut around the edges. Then some silver stickles and a pearl brad were added to complete the flower. The sentiment is printed and the matting is cut using a small rectangle Nestabilities and adding silver Stickles around the border.
