Unicorn Gift Bag w/ Paper Smooches!! =)

Pin It



HELLO!!
I'm playing along with the Paper Smooches January Anything Goes Challenge!!
My Niece and God Daughter will be Celebrating her 5th Birthday Soon and she LOVES Unicorns!! So I've made her some Jewelry!! I'll be sharing the Jewelry I made in another post, so stay tuned ;)
I NEEDED a Gift Bag that was just as AMAZING as the Gift!! So after looking through my Supplies, I came up with a FUN Design Idea using SEVERAL Paper Smooches Sets!!

 

SQUEAL!! How CUTE is that Gift Bag!!??
I HOPE you LOVE it as much as I do!!?? I KNOW my Niece is going to LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
So that alone just makes me HAPPY!!  =)
I've used the Bear Frog Card Dies, for the Eyes and the Horse Nose.  The Bunny Card Die, for the Ears and the Eye Lashes. The Snowman Card Dies, for the Unicorn Horn and the Mouth and the Santa Card Dies for the Mane of the Unicorn!! I've also used the Flowers Die Set for the BEAUTIFUL Flowers and the Flower Frames Die Set for the Leaves!! I used the We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board and altered it to create the size of Bag I needed!! I added Distress Inks to ALL of the Die Cut pieces so they'd POP off the Bag!! Some Water Droplets, Tonic Studio Aqua Shimmer Pen, Studio Katia Gems and White Gel Pen details add the PERFECT finishing Touches!!

HELLO!!
Happy Monday!!
I'm stopping in to play along with the Color Throwdown #477 Challenge and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the way my Card turned out!! These Images and the Colors both just make me SWOON, so I just HAD to create a Projects to play along!! I decided to use Reverse Confetti Products!! I wanted to create a FUN Textured Background to resemble the Texture of the Table Mats and Coasters!!

 

I used the Negative Stripes from the Vertical Stripes Cover Panel Die and Wove them into the Tall Stripe Panel Die!! I used RC Iced Aqua Cardstock and Inked the Edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for even more Dimension to the Woven Design!! I used a Reverse Confetti Patterned Paper from the Warm Heart 6x6 Pad for the Base of my Card!! I Die Cut the Lacy Scallop Circles from RC Cloud Cardstock and Die Cut a Circle to layer inside from the Circles n' Scallops Die Set!! I Inked the Background with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added Water Droplets, then I stamped and Embossed the Snowflake Images from the Merry Chirstmoose Stamp Set using White Embossing Powder and added some Tonic Studios Orange Soda Glitter Drops to the centers of each of the Snowflakes!! I added some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to the Edges of the Lacy Scallop Circle just to make it POP!! I Stamped and Embossed the SWEETT Snowman Image from the Cool Friend Stamp Set and Colored it in using Copic Markers!! I used the coordinating Cool Friend Die Set to Die Cut it out and added it to the center of the Circle using Foam Tape!! I Die Cut the Banner from some RC Stormy Cardstock using the RC Stitched Flag Trio Cuts Set and Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Cool Friends Set!! I created some FUN Layered Snowflake Die Cut accents using the RC Snowflake Trio Cuts and the Let It Snow Cuts from RC Cloud Cardstock I added some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to make them POP and some Tonic Studios Orange Soda Glitter Drops to the centers for some Dimension and Sparkle!!
I LOVE how it turned out and hope you do too!!??

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
