Hello Friends! Today is the 5th day of the month (Oh my gosh where did the time go?) so that means it's time for another Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog hop. If you are following along on the hop that means you have come from Vicki's blog. If you want to start the hop at the beginning, please go to Gloria's blog!
This month, we don't have any theme and since I was gone for 2 weeks last month, that means I have some goodies sitting around that I haven't touched. So here is my project using some really wonderful dies from Crafter's Companion!
I created a gift bag using a regular brown paper lunch sack. I used some new Crafter's Companion Die'sire Edge'ables dies - Butterfly Dreams and Just for You! I thought these dies were perfect for this bag. The Butterfly Dreams die is just so beautiful......it looks like the butterflies are just flying off, doesn't it? Here is a close up........
The best thing about these dies are how easy they are to use. Just place this Butterfly Dreams die along the edge of your cardstock and run it thru the machine. I did use some waxed paper just in case it was hard to remove the die cut but everything cut on the first pass! I ran this die thru cutting the edge of a piece of soft sky cardstock and then cut a piece of mirror silver cardstock. I cut the butterflies from the silver cardstock and glued them into place. I love the look!
Here is a closer look at these two dies........
So now it's time to hop on over to Ginny's blog to see her fantastic project! Let me know what you think about our Craft Hoarders Monthly blog hop. Everyone on the design team has been having so much fun and we hope we are sparking some creative ideas for you to use up your crafty hoard!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Wow Debbie, this is adorable! Your border die-cuts are beautiful!
