Spring ~ Flower ~ Vinyl ~ Brother Scan N Cut

Hello bloggers, welcome to a new month with a pinch and a punch.  I hope you had a good start to the weekend yesterday.  Today I have a card made using of just vinyl and the card stock for the card blank.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock that I scored to make an A5 card blank.  Next using a pre-loaded design from the Brother Scan N Cut, I cut out of yellow and turquoise vinyl a flower.  The yellow flower was adhered to the card blank and then I layered the turquoise one on top at a different angle so you can see all the petals.  Next I cut a 1" circle from green vinyl and a stem with leaves.  Once cut I added the circle to the centre of the flower and added the leaves to the flower.  Next using a pre-loaded sentiment on the Brother Scan N cut I cut the word 'spring' out of purple vinyl.  Finally the 'spring' word was added to the bottom of the card.

Decorated gift bag ~ dies and stamping

Hello bloggers, sorry a bit of a late post today as I was so ill yesterday I didn't get chance to blog.  Today I have a decorated gift bag for Christmas.

 This bag began as a brown paper lunch bag.  I then stamped the sentiment at the top using different inks and over stamping.  I can't remember the name of this stamp as it was borrowed.  Next I used different patterned card stock to decorate the bag.  First I added strips of card stock across the bottom and middle of the bag.  I then used the same card stock to die cut flowers.  I don't remember the name of this die but any flower die would do and a poinsettia would be great for Christmas.  The largest flower was layered up and then adhered to the centre of the bag.  The smaller flower was layered up and secured with a brad before being attached to the bottom of the bag.  You can decorate these as much or as little as you like adding lots of bling and bells etc.
