A “Touch of Nature” Sample

Amy — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 17:26:11 +0000

I am re-posting this last year’s gift bag/stationery sample done with the retiring set "A Touch of Nature" set that is retiring shortly! This is one of the couple of sets of stationery that I made for teacher’s gifts last year.

I took a small 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 x 3 inch Kraft handle bag and put a ‘false front’ and stamped the vanilla tissue. The bag matches the card and stationery container all made with cardstock. I have the stationery holder standing at far left and shown open at the bottom. The card is standing up.

The template for the stationery holder is HERE.

The main set used is "A Touch of Nature" The colors are Always Artichoke, So Saffron (sponged with More Mustard) and Black. I got the inspiration for the entire ensemble from the card (which I got in a swap but didn’t have a name on it–gotta put your name on stuff!). The center of the flower is a brown pom-pom… the 3D look is priceless.

Birthday Gift Keeper

<– Click on the graphic (left) to download the directions for this easy gift holder that you can get three of from one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper! I made some matching lollipop covers and made a flower from Smarties the same way I made the focal flower on the gift keeper.

This simple ‘gift keeper’ was made with the beautiful new set "Kind Thoughts" (which punches out a lovely flower with the scalloped circle punch), Baroque Motifs (an ‘old friend’ of mine) and Circle of Friendship. The color scheme is Ballet Blue, Rose Romance, Pretty in Pink & Certainly Celery… a great color combination. Download the step-by-step to making these.

I made a birthday one as well, however I think that the kids got to it because I left the mini-Hershey bar in it… my fault I guess!

I will upload the one I made with "Big Birthday Candle" when it surfaces, I really liked that one even better!

Let me know what you think!
