Spectacular Kraft Bag Card!

Hi there BoBunny fans! :)

Have you used Kraft Bags before in your scrapbooking or card making?  This week we've been showing you how versatile they are and today I wanted to show you a couple of ways of incorporating them into your cards.

Envelope Card by Megan Gourlay

This first idea was pretty simple.  Split the bag down the seam and then have butterflies flying out of it! To decorate the bag, I've first randomly painted on gesso, and then applied gold Pearlescents.  Once dry, (and the beauty of Pearlescents is it dries quickly!), I've randomly stamped over my bag with a couple of my favourite stamps.

I've die cut one of the butterflies from the new Flutter die and slightly curled the wings to give it 'flight'. I've also used some of the new laser cut butterflies.

Here you can see I've lined the inside of my bag.  To decorate my laser cut butterflies, I've first applied gesso, then applied Glimmer Spray.  Once it was dry I rubbed in some more gold Pearlescents.

This time Ive taken two of the larger bags and joined them together by sliding the openings into each other.  This gave me the base of my card which became 15" long - I then folded at 5", and again at 6 & 6.25" to give me room for depth of my embellishments, when it was folded shut.

I've taken the Polaroid frame from the Noteworthy set and popped it up with foam, layering flowers and the filmstrip in behind.

Here you can see the card opened up.  The piece on the left is a pocket to slide in a gift card, vouchers or cash.  On the right is a panel for writing a wee message.

I hope you've enjoyed our week of Kraft Bag inspiration, we would love for you to share how you've used them on our Facebook page!
