Side view
I used Grand Labels 11 which I got at the NEC and the double side card is Isabelle from First Edition. I folded the side gussets so that I could hold the handles together better with the ribbon, but the picture doesn't really show it. My mistake is that I don't think I made the holes for the handles big enough, though it's not the end of the world..
But I hope you've checked out my roses!!!!!! I used the same card to make the roses and I diecut the leaves in white from Spellbinders Foliage and used a Ranger ink pad called "Seashells - Starfish Green" which I have had for ever, and it is a brilliant match. The roses aren't brilliant but I'm quite pleased with them and I can only get better. Anyway - thank you Patricia!! I'm not keen on the ribbon but it's all I had that would tone (apart from white and I didn't want to use white) but I' ll have a look next time I go to town for something different..

Anyway, I'm rather pleased with my first gift bag, and I can assure you that it certainly won't be the last. I love to make boxes, bags etc. It makes a nice change from cards.

ReplyDeleteChristine well done you, your gift bag is lovely and so are your roses. Patricia will be impressed. I like the card you have used to make it, and their is nothing wrong with your ribbon I like the contrast and you are right white would not have looked so good. Hope you have a good day. Hazel
P.S. these gift bags hold 5 mini products.
Hi Christine, bet you felt great when you completed this project, I know I did, a sense of achievement. Your gift bag and roses are so lovely, I like the way you used the same paper to make the roses. Everyone loves to add their own touches makes it more personal. Patricia will enjoy seeing all her hard work being put to use.

Wow! I love it, well done you go and sit with Wilma at the "Top of the Class".
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with your Roses, as they say practice makes perfect, remember I have been making them for years. The more you make them better you will get at it. For a first time go I can see nothing wrong with them, brilliant in fact. Wilma also did some Roses, thank you ladies, it makes all the hard work for the Tutorial worth while for me.
As Hazel said a little bit of tissue and you get 5 mini products in there just fine. Makes a great looking gift and a little bag as a keepsake.
Have a Great Day
Patricia xx

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeletesuch superb gift bag. I love the use of the labels 11 it does make it slightly different from Patricia's. Your roses are also superb, and I love the card you have used. Wonderful colour too. The idea of the fold is fab also.

Beautiful bag, Christine! Love the flowers, too! Well done! Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Christine - would look even nicer with a few choccy buttons in it! I love the colours and I think the ribbon tones really well with the papers. And ..... there is nothing wrong with the roses!!!! Hope you watched SCD - noticed Robin had his pecs out now that Artem has gone!! Not quite the same though.
