Pootler’s Design Team – The Little Things week 4

 

Here’s my project for week 4 of my time on the Pootler’s Design Team – 5 Thursdays during November where 5 members of the Pootler’s team share projects made with The Little Things stamp set.

This week I’ve made 2 gift bags, one of them using the Gift Bag punch board:

Stampin' Up The Little Things gift bags

I don’t use the Gift Bag punch board as much as I should so after making one bag with the score board I thought I’d get out the punch board for the other.

Can you guess which is which? Hard to tell isn’t it – the black and white was made with the Gift Bag punch board.

I used the Merry Little Christmas DSP to make the bags. The cardstock is just the right weight, not too flimsy, and not too thick either.

For the ribbon I used the Shimmer Ribbon in black, and also the Striped ribbon. The Striped ribbon is wired and so I used the Shimmer ribbon to go around the bag, then added the Striped ribbon bow on top.

The sentiments are heat embossed in gold. I think this sentiment is lovely, and you could just use the For My Sweet if you didn’t want the top.

Both bags are the right size for putting some sweet goodies in – a lovely surprise for someone for Christmas!

Next Thursday is my last week on the Design Team. It’s gone so fast. Please come and and see what my last project is – hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss it.

Pootler’s Design Team – The Little Things week 3

It’s the third week of the Pootler’s design team challenge for me, and this week I decided to make some gift tags.

Our team leader Sam has challenged five of us to use The Little Things stamp set to make five projects – one for each Thursday during the month of November.

This week I combined the stripe that’s in the stamp set with the wonderful Cookie Cutter Christmas set that carried over from last year.

I used the stripe in either Old Olive or Real Red across the bottom of each tag, then added one of the crew from the Cookie Cutter Christmas set, and a sentiment at the top.

I found some googly eyes to add to the gingerbread men and reindeer.

To make each tag I used a piece of Thick Whisper White card cut at 4″ x 2″ (10cm x 5cm), then stamped the stripe across the bottom. Then I used the envelope punch board to round the corners.

I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch to punch out the tags and then finished them off with gold metallic ribbon.

I’d like to think that they’d make a great addition to any present!

For next week’s project – gift bags.

Pootler’s Design Team – The Little Things, week 2

Welcome to my second project for the Pootler’s Design Team. I’ll be posting a new project each Thursday in November using The Little Things stamp set.

This week I have used the December Deliciousness stamp – what a great sentiment!

I wanted to make some little treat bags and thought I’d make some tags to hang around the top.

Stampin' Up! The Little Things

 

I love those little candy canes and ginger bread men. I heat embossed the sentiments in gold, copper and silver, and used the Stitched Framelits to die cut them. Then I added some sweets to clear bags and attached the tags using either gold metallic edge ribbon or black shimmer ribbon.

As you can see I also made some crates using the wood crates framelits. I wanted to see what different designs would look like so I made three crates, each different.

I used wood textures DSP on one (with a foil snowflake), Merry Music DSP on another, and more wood textures DSP that I stamped for the third.

I glued each piece of DSP to a piece of carstock before I die cut them to make a very sturdy crate – you will need to burnish well if you try this.

I think I might take these to a Christmas craft fair where I have booked a table at the beginning of December. I hope you like this week’s project – don’t forget to come back and see what I have made next week.

This is what I used for this week’s makes:
