Bodice Gift Bag Tutorial x

 Happy Friday you lovely lot

Hope this finds you all well on the lovely sunny Good Friday? Up green the sun is shining, it’s warm and it’s just glorious. Hopefully it’s just as nice when you are?

I’m back to share another YouTube video with you all, this time my lush Bodice Gift Bag I created for Simply Cards and Papercrafts. You can find the link to the template within the magazine but also over at Craft World HQ. Already lots of you have been creating your own and I can’t wait to see more. If you do create one please share or tag me 

Todays video I used some lush papers from the Craft Consortium and some of Chloe’s Creative Cards pretty flower dies as well as lots of gems and ribbon from my stash

Remember if you make your own please let me know so I can check it out!and I’d it’s not too much trouble give me a wee follow over in YouTube and maybe a thumbs up if you liked the video??

Have a great Easter weekend and hope you manage some family time

Hello you lovely lot

are you keeping well?? Finding time to have some crafty fun?? I've been creating some Birthday Cards and making some fun pieces that I can't share but I know you will love when I do (well I love them lol)

Now my latest makes are from my magazine piece in Simply Cards and Papercrafts 204

I was asked to create some pieces that you could use for a Festival Themed Party before all this happened!! And now it just seems strange to share but don't let that stop you having a try at making some of them!! Just imagine the invites you could send out once all this craziness is over to celebrate seeing your love ones

In this latest edition I show you how to create the little pop-up Invite and have templates to help you along the way, including the tree and tent

You can also create some table decorations using the templates creating some Drinks Tents to decorate along with some fun Tent Treat Boxes

I used the lovely Paper Addict Tropical Bliss 12x12 papers from Trimcraft to create all the pieces and they have the summer vibes I know we all can't wait for!

Hope you get you copy soon and create some of your own Festival Theme pieces! Don't forget let me know and share on the Simply Cards and Papercrafts Facebook Group!

Take care and stay safe

Afternoon you lovely lot

Hope this finds you all well?

Did you survive the hour less in bed today?? Or you still like me and walking about like a Zombie today? I could possibly still be getting over a fab Saturday Wedding Dress shopping for my future Sister in Law and all the family! Lunch and cocktails was a must!!

Now have any of you see the Simply Cards and Papercraft 175 Magazine yet

little me was lucky enough to make some fab Gift Box ideas for this. I really loved making these and getting to try a few ideas I've wanted to do for a while! There's even a few tutorials for you all to try them for yourself

Here's a peek

What one do your like?? I adore the Bottle Gift Box, just perfect to brighten up that Wine gift for a friend or family

I decorated mine with die-cuts but you could use stamps or anything form your crafty stash!

My other favourite was the Drawer Box! Using the same colour theme with Kraft card and colouring up the Bouquet Girl from Time for Tea Designs!

Shes perfect for this wee Gift Box as she suits any important Celebration not just Birthdays! I coloured her up with my Spectrum Noirs and the papers through all the pieces are Pebbles Heart of Home

Hope you pick up your copy of the magazine or get it here and you'll find more amazing craft projects and plenty to inspire you!

Have a great Sunday and week to come
