and into the bag!
The July Flower Soft Design Team challenge was to use Flower Soft® in an out of the box way. Hmmm, what to do, what to do.....This week the PTB at Flower Soft® sent us a bit of new product, Holiday Card Toppers and Polar White Flower Soft, so I decided to go headfirst into the holidays.
My out of the box project was to create a Beary Merry Christmas gift bag. I trimmed the tree/bear image from the topper sheet, matted it on green, and added fun pop out accents (light and bear parts) for additional dimension. A bit of Polar White Flower Soft® sits as snow on the trees. The pop out accents are so fun, they remind me of paper dress up dolls from when I was a kid. I also added a bit of Glossy Accents to the light fixture and bear noses.
The bag was something I purchased some time ago at Michaels. I added a red cardstock strip to help anchor the image and a button/gingham check ribbon embellishment on the handle. The bear image was attached with dimensional foam to the bag front. That's just about as much holiday creating I could do today - it's hard to wrap my brain around that time of year when it's in the 90's outside. :)
Getting back into summertime colors, my other out of the box project is a shadow box card, using Sweet Pea Flower Soft® on the cupcake frosting. The fun cupcake image and sweet sentiment inside is from Summer Sweets by Our Craft Lounge. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Drake the Dragon.
Supplies not listed above are:
Ink: SU! Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose, Basic Gray, ColorBox Fluid Chalk Prussian Blue
Paper: SU! Very Vanilla, Pink Piroutte, Prism Iced Teal
Patterned Paper: Cherry Hill Cookie Jar by October Afternoon
Tools: Scor-Pal, Cuttlebug, Nestabilities Scallop and Circle Dies, SU! Modern Label Punch
Accessories: Buttons, Cardstock thread, Olive grosgrain, Glue dots, Dimensionals
