Decorating Gift Bags...Part 2!

Jennifer McGuire is one talented lady. After watching her tutorial on making pretty sweet-looking flowers, here, I was inspired to make some to use as the focal point on some gift bags.

As I mentioned before, these are very inexpensive and the flowers are easy to make, I promise. Instead of using Scor-tape (like it shows in the tutorial) I used something cheaper - Elmer's liquid glue. It is harder and messier to work with, but it is super strong when dry and it's what I have on hand. Also, since the flowers have a pretty decent depth, I ended up cutting slits in the gift bag and gluing them in so they didn't pop off the page so much. The tags were made from an old greeting card I had that matched the color of the flowers. The sentiment on the tags was printed from my computer onto white cardstock.

Until next time,

Satissssfaction.

I love making scrap cards. It's so satisfying to use up the last little bit of paper you've been saving forever because it was too (psychologically) hard to throw away. I used the same "technique" as in a previous post (click here) ; that is gluing strips of paper to a thin piece of backing paper before adhering to my card.

Supplies:

Cardstock base: GP 110lb. white cardstock

Paper: Various cardstock, patterned paper, and vellum

Stamp Set: American Crafts - Thanks

Ink: StazOn - Jet Black
