Little Brown Bag......

Well it was, until I altered it for the new challenge this week at Charisma Cardz!  Lots of inspiration to be found with the DT's creations, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.  New ideas are always welcome! (lol)


You may recall that I made a few of these up for Christmas, and they really simplified my gift wrapping.  So I think it is time to make a few more!  Just a brown paper bag, and a few papers.....and then you dress it up with stamps or whatever your heart desires.

I've done up the back a bit too, but only with the stamps....leaving them with just the black outline.    The stamps used are from the Penny Black Touch of Whimsey collection.  Ideal for a nice spring or Easter project.  If you look closely, you will see that both the flower and the bunny have been coloured and cut out of plain white card stock, then attached with foam tabs for a bit of dimension. 

Tools used:  Spellbinders Labels Twenty and Fancy Tags Three.

Now for the exciting info on our wonderful sponsor:


One lucky winner will receive 4 stamps or 1 stamp set.

    Are you kidding me? THIS is a brown bag card? I would never have guessed! I love bag cards...though I've never tried one. (I'm way too chicken! hehe!) and this one is just fabulous! Such a sweet scene you created...and I have always loved Penny Black images. Absolutely adorable!! Thanks so much for joining us for this fortnight's challenge at 7 Kids! Hugs. Pat Frank
