Gift Bags - Part 2

Well, I made 4 more gift bags, I couldn't resist making another Easter one, plus a masculine, a boy, and a girly one. The instructions, and the first set of gift bags you can find HERE.

.

For this one, you don't need to score the middle of the sides. Just add a handle, and you have a basket.

Just another view of it from the front.

Here's the masculine gift bag. Instead of having a window in the front, I added an image. I finished off the top with some Copper Brads. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I added some 3D Foam Squares behind the blue frame, it really seemed to make the image 'pop', which I coloured with pencil crayons.

I hadn't had a chance to use my CTMH Topstitch papers yet, and thought this would be the perfect opportunity. For the bird, I tried a technique that CTMH Sista Patricia Poole used. I inked up the stamp by sponge daubing CTMH Chocolate Ink onto the top part of the bird, and then sponge daubing CTMH Blush Ink onto the chest section of the bird.

Here's the boy one...it was alot of fun to make, I especially like the frog coming out of the window. I used the retired CTMH Blue Jeans SS as a pocket for the gift bag closure.

For the 'snap', I used Liquid Glass to give it a realistic look.
