Altered paper Bag ...

... for a swap on UK and Ireland Facebook group ...

Made with Prima Romance Novel papers, some altered paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts (I painted white flowers with acrylic paints and glittered the edges with Star Dust Stickles), some coiled wires, lace and ribbons. Ans this is whats inside ...

An envelope from the paper collection, a handmade tag stamped with Stampingtom stamp and finished with a die cut layered flower; a fabric flower I have made using Tim Holtz tattered florals die; and 2 tiles I have made in the Prima 'style' using chipboard, stamps, Distress inks and glossy accents.

Altered Paper Bag

This is the completed altered paper bag that I mentioned in my previous post ...

I have used Kaisercraft patterned paper from the 'Tis the Season' collection, Martha Stewart edge punch, poinsettia stamps from Paperartsy and some bits of tinsel and ribbon from my stash.

The poinsettia stamps have been curled a little and layered and sprayed with Iridescent Gold glimmer mist for a bit of sparkle. There's a couple of brads and some German scrap on there too.

As I only have the 6" paper the back is covered with something toning I found in my stash ... the tags on the back are from the Kaisercraft collection ...

I am entering this in the Tuesday Try It On challenge 'Christmas Sparkle'.

YPP swap

I've been working on this project most of the week ... it is a swap on Your Paper Pantry called Pocket for Your Thoughts ...

It is suggested that you construct a 5" x 7" 'pocket' from a manilla envelope and fill it with a minimum of four tags plus a small ($1) gift for the recipient ...

I didn't have any envelopes so made my pocket from kraft cardstock ... this is how it all turned out ...
