It's been a couple of months since I've been able to participate in a Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. I always enjoy them and am glad to be around this month. Here's the August challenge:
This challenge was a lot of fun and I ended up making two different bags and a card to accompany one of them.
I placed the Beautiful Blooms dies inside the bag and ran them through my Cuttlebug and then layered the paper from Green Boutique and Library Ledger behind them. The buttons are all from the Holiday Mix collection, and I tied some button twine through each of them. The ribbon bow is Aqua Mist satin. For the card I used papers from the same collections on a Kraft card with Ripe Avocado mats. The Nestability label is Scrap-Mart's new Oval/Square which I cut and embossed, and added a sentiment from Friendship Jar Fall Fillers (which arrived in yesterday's mail). The felt flowers are cut with Hawaiian Shores and Vintage Cream felt. I inked all the edges of the cardstock and patterned papers with the Camomile Tea Dye. Here's a closer look at the bag and the card:
I've wanted to try and make a pinwheel for ages. You need double-sided paper for this, and since Papertrey's papers are all single sided I used my Xyron to glue together two coordinating papers from Autumn Abundance. It makes for a thicker paper, but it worked just fine.
The stick and brad are from my stash. I purchased a package of these sticks years ago for another project. The sentiment is from Vintage Picnic Sentiments, one of my favorite Papertrey sets.
Thanks for looking, and enjoy the blog hopping!
