Poetic Artistry

Hi friends! Today I'm back with a card for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop. I had fun creating with the Cowgirl Charm paper pad and the 6x6 stamp set in the November Box of the Month from Not 2 Shabby.

I colored up the cow images with Copic markers, fussy cutting the one for the card to pop her up as my focal point. I added dark brown mats to my layered rectangles of Cowgirl Charm Paper, then grounded the focal image with a sentiment from the Rustic Farms A2 Card Fronts and cut with the One & Done Sentiments Die.

I've been on a bit of a tag kick lately, so made a matching tag with coordinating papers and the cute cow image. I used another die cut from the One & Done Sentiments Die and a sentiment from Mini Messages. to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Hi crafty friends! It's the 10th of the month already and time again for the Not 2 Shabby Inspiration Giveaway Hop on YouTube. I'm sharing a fun little card that pops open into a bag that I saw originally on LeNae Creates' channel. It starts with a paper sack or greeting bag. I demonstrate how I made mine to fit a larger 7 x 10" greeting bag, then create a tag to go inside. You can watch the process below on the blog or on my YouTube channel.

The premise of the bag is to find the bottom flap of the bag and where the two sides meet at the first fold, measure up 3/4" and cut. Use a pull tab mechanism on the second flap which will open the bag when you pull on it. Then measure each panel you would like to decorate and subtract 1/4" from the length and width measurements to get a nice 1/8" border around your panel. Below is my finished project, along with a couple others I made with a paper lunch sack for the first one and a smaller greeting bag for the final project.
