Bridal Shower Kraft Gift Bag Tutorial

As we continue projects using BoBunny's Kraft Gift Bags, we have a treat in store for you! Today Lisa is sharing a Bridal Shower Wishing Well project along with a tutorial. Wouldn't this be a fun project to do for any occasion? What great way to share recipes, thoughts or good wishes. What could you use this idea for??


Recipe Card in Kraft Bag for Bridal Shower Wishing Well... Tutorial by Lisa Gregory

 To cover the Kraft bag, cut a piece of patterned paper just slightly smaller than the surface of the bag, ink the edges and adhere the paper to the flap side of the bag.

For the flap,I used a die which happens to be the perfect size for the flap on the bag. I also cut  the same shape using thin chipboard as well. This will give the flap some weight when adhered to the paper. Ink the edges attach the trimmed die cut to the flap of the bag.

Attach a flower to the middle of the die-cut flap.

 This is the underside of the flap. Place a chipboard circle. behind the flower. This will give it additional weight to keep the flap down without the use of magnets. It also gives it a nice clean finish.

Using a hole punch, punch out a half circle in the top middle of the bag. Now trim a recipe card so that it slides in the bag with ease. The half circle punch out makes it easy to pull out the recipe card.

Now time to decorate the outside of the bag. Die cut a small tag and layer it. I placed some lined patterned paper to write a small sentiment on. Do some random stamping and add the letters to the side of the bag.

This is the finished Recipe in a Gift Bag, for a Bridal Shower Wishing Well. I think this is great idea to collect recipes for the bride to be. The concept could be applied to different themes. How about tips for new moms at a baby shower!!! The ideas are endless!!

Recipe Box Tutorial

I'm so excited for today's blog post.

Agnieszka Piskorz has written up the cutest tutorial

for a darling Christmas Recipe box that you are going to

want to pull some supplies together and make!

Hello everyone!
Soon the long-awaited Christmas holidays will be here, but, we still have plenty of time to buy gifts. However, I encourage you to do a few gifts, there is no more beautiful than handmade gifts. 

 One of the few gifts that I prepared this year for friends is a box for Christmas recipes. 

Maybe it can be any rules, such as muffins, cakes, etc. It all depends on whom you want to 

give away and I have an idea.

 I used an old metal tea can, but it can be any metal can you have. I pulled the Bo Bunny Rejoice paper in a variety of designs, stickers, glue and rigid cards on which you can list the recipes.

 Step 1

You must sand tin with sandpaper, then glue will have a better grip.

Step 2

Measure the exact height of the box and its perimeter, cut your paper to your exact measurements.

I used the Rejoice Adorned. 

 Step 3

Wrap and adhere paper to box. Now you can decorate it in any way.

Step 4
Now prepare the cards you want to use for tabs.

Now your Recipe Box is ready, handmaking such a gift is very easy, isn't it?
I hope you like the idea.

I greet you warmly and have a nice day!

 I used an EK Success Retro flower punch to make my 'carnation-like' blooms....first I spritzed the paper with some pink ink, then used a pair of Deco-edged scissors to give the petals the jagged edge that carnations have. I also crinkled the petals up a bit.

 I then took some floral wire, made a small fold at the tip of it and strung 3 of the punched blooms on the wire and adhered with glue.

 Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Welcome Home; Dreams, Et Cetera; Symphony
6x6 Paper Pad: Welcome Home
Cream Lace: Et Cetera Ribbon Trim
Butterflies: Cut from Country Garden Patterned paper.

 Designer Tip: To make the tiny flowers on my layout, I used a Donna Salazar die. I cut four flowers and slightly crumpled their leaves. I then stapled them and added a chipboard pearl (from the layered chipboard pack) together with a jewel in its center.

Supplies:

6x6 Paper Pad: Little Miss
Stickers: Little Miss Combo Sticker, Little Miss Dimensional Stickers
Chipboard: Little Miss Layered Chipboard
Jewels: Little Miss

Notebooks tutorial

Hello my dear friends, this is Michele from France, and i am really happy to be here with you today, to share this little tutorial !
I have two wonderful daughters who love writing and drawing on little notebooks and this mini album from the collection "zoology" is perfect for making something different and cute :) You'll see, it's so easy and the kids love it so much that you have no excuses !
Just one more thing before we start, please, forgive my not perfect English ;)

For making this, you'll need:

album zoology
double dots ribbons
double dots designs cardstock papers
combo stickers
chipboards 12x12
jewels
papers and spirals

First, i reproduced the shape of each page on a cardstock paper and to save time, i glued it on a second cardstock paper and cut it. So i have a stronger piece of paper with two different colors very quickly.

 

I cut a few sheets of paper, and i made the holes for the spirals. I just stick the last piece of paper, directly on the cardstock.

As it's for kids, i added an eyelet to consolidate the hole. 

Now, all you have to do is simply decorate it, and of course, don't forget the name of the kids ;)

I added a little note : "this notebook belongs to..."

 

 I tied some pieces of ribbons on the ring, i love it, it's like they have a bow on their head :)

As you seen, it's fast and easy to make this cute little things ;)
I'll be really happy to see yours !
thanks for reading me,
take care of yourself,

Michele

PapEr FloWErS... PApeR FlowERs...

In our CHA booth this year,
we wanted to play with paper
and make some flowers to add to some beautiful wreaths we found...

so we recruited some help from our Mad Scrapper and wanted
to share with you what she came up with.

She pulled together a few tools like:
Several different size & shape flower punches
Several different size & shape scallop circle punches
4" flower Revolution Die Cut

She pulled together some FABULOUS Olivia paper and iCandy brads,
and started punching, inking and matching until she had her desired look.

For these flowers

1. Ink all flowers.
2. Start with small flower and gradually get larger.
3. Punch a hole through your entire stack.
4. Secure with your choice of brad.



As you layer the flowers, kinda squish & fold & crumple
to get the desired look you're going for.

Then, just pop off the silk flowers from the wreath and hot glue on your
fabulous PAPER FLOWERS!
