Snow Swirled ~ Bag-a-lope!

Check out this nifty bag made from a plain old envelope!

Whilst away on our Stampin' & Scrappin' in the Mountains Retreat over the weekend... I thought I would give this little project a go... discovering how to make this bag out of an envelope!

Making the most of my favourite stamp set this month, Snow Swirled, I decorated the envelope by stamping it all over before following the steps I have attached for you right here...

NOTE: If you are having trouble reading these instructions... please email me and I can email them to you clearer.

Topping the bag off I used some DS Paper from a new design 'Ski Slope' available in our new Spring Mini Catalogue available on the 1st August.

Snow Swirled ~ photo/place card holder

Here's a quick project for you...

This neat little idea came from a swap at Convention also. It is a 50mm clip decorated to make a handy photo holder, name place holder, card holder, or even useful for display signs.

I have made mine as a photo holder for Christmas time... inspired by wanting to make something with my stamp set of the month

'Snow Swirled'

To decorate your 50mm clip all you need is a piece of Designer Series Paper 5cm x 7.5cm. Glue this to your clip. I use Power Pritt as it works best for me when gluing paper to metal. The DSP I have used for this one is from Holiday Treasures. Next, decorate the front with an embellishment... for mine I stamped the snowflake from

Snow Swirled and adhered it with a double layer of Dimensionals so it sat out nicely.

Finish your clip off with some ribbon and there you have it!

Colourful 'Snow Swirled'

Did I mention that it's only 5 months til Christmas?

4 months until we need to start posting out those lovely handmade cards?

I've been getting organised with my favourite Christmas Stamp Set this year...
Snow Swirled!

Snow Swirled is my Stamp Set of the month for July 2009

Here are some more inspirational ideas of how you can
make the most of the Snow Swirled stamp set found on
page 30 in the 09/10 Idea Book & Catalogue (RRP $45.95).

After I made my first Snow Swirled card with the Riding Hood Red and Chocolate Chip I thought... why stop there? I love this layout... and I love the In-Colours we have at the moment... so I made a couple more... this time with the Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss.

Christmas cards need to be simple and stunning... specially if you need to make a stack of them!

This card covers both...

Using a colour combination that has me in love... Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy, this card is cost effective and would delight any recipient. Out came the white embossing powder to get the snowflake effect on the Baja Breeze, and a crystal brad in the center of the scallop circle decoration and there you have it!

But wait there's more....

At our last Paper Angels meeting we made these cute little Top Note Gift bags in Baja Breeze & Not Quite Navy, decorated with the So Swirly Jumbo Wheel which goes great with Snow Swirled. When I sat the card next to it... they made a great match. Fill the bag with some homemade white Christmas or other goodies and what a lovely Christmas treat you have made for that someone special.
