I have two projects for today's hop. Here is my first project! I used the new Die Cut Dimensions - Wild Flowers Card Toppers to make this cute little bag.
To make this little bag, I used the Labels One Grand Nestabilities and my Grand Caliber machine. I cut/embossed 2 pink Grand Labels One #4 (with 1 being the smallest) and then made a small little box to connect them. To make this small insert just cut a piece of cardstock to 3 1/2" x 11, score it on each end at 3 1/2" and down the long sides at 1/4". Snip from the edge of the cardstock to the score line in the middle and glue the flaps to your Labels. Clear as mud? It is really easy!
The beautiful Flower Soft Topper I used is called Die Cut Dimensions - Wild Flowers. The little flowers are partially cut so you can pop them up to get a very detailed look. Here is a close-up:
I added some Flower Soft Peony Pink mixed color to the middle of the flowers. I popped them out using a stylus. The sentiment is from the Assorted Wishes Sentiment Toppers. I cut out the sentiment and layered it onto a Fancy Tag die. I added the pearl brads and put some paper doilies behind it to enhance the vintage look.
Here is another project I made using a new color from Flower Soft called Neon Green!
First I stamped the little boy from the Charlie's Ark In the Air Rubber Stamp. I colored him with my Copic Markers and cut him out. Then I stamped the paper and the sentiment onto a bigger panel of white and colored that in with Copics, too. I added the Flower Soft Neon Green to some of the papers and it gives quite a pop!
