Well another week down and another one nearer to half term - I swear I live my life from one school holiday to another (with lots of crafting in between)!!
It's time for a new challenge over at Make My Monday and this week Fliss has chosen the theme of
'ANYTHING BUT A CARD'
I think this has to be another favourite of mine and it gets us thinking 'outside the box'. Here's what I decided on for my DT inspiration ...
This is a different version of a project I made last year and consists of one piece of card (27cm x 20cm), which is scored and folded to make a gift bag - it's really simple to make (I will add this to my 'To Do' list of tutorials that I am planning for the future).
Once the card is folded, simply decorate. I chose a piece of neutral design paper and edged it with Walnut Stain distress ink. The next layer is a Fleur de Lys nestie cut from book paper and also edged with the same ink. The top layer is a 'Wellington Bear' image from the 'Sunny Days Collection', mounted on a piece of pink card. I made the little flowers from scraps of the book paper and added a few little punched butterflies. A bit of polkadot ribbon for the handles and a little 'To and From' label on the back and job done.
Hope you can join us this week.
Hugz, Jan xx
This project is really pretty Jan. I know what you mean about living from half term to half term. Thought I'd given all that up but my best friends are teachers as is my daughter! :)
