Birthday Tag Bag with Jenifer Cowels

Jenifer Cowels had this to say about today's gorgeous project: "I needed a fun way to give a little gift card.  I put together this little bag/tag/card, the tag slides in and you could adhere a gift card to it and still have enough room to write a greeting and note.  I am so happy with how this turned out I know I will be making more in my future."

Thanks for sharing this beautiful project with us, Jenifer!

Rebekah wrapped some of our Glassine Envelopes with 5-Inch Doilies, then embellished them using Baker's Twine and buttons.  The result is completely charming, don't you think?

Christmas Hybrid Card with Jenifer Cowles

Today we are taking a peek at a lovely holiday card created by Jenifer Cowles.  Jenifer says, "I created a hybrid Christmas card that I plan to send to Grandparents with the kids school pictures and little notes from each of the kids tucked into each bag."

 Jenifer used our paper straws from the shop to bind a series of glassine envelopes together with baker's twine.  What a genius idea (and so festive!).

Jenifer decorated the front of her card with a snowflake rosette and doilies from the shop.  After decorating the envelopes with more goodies from the shop, she asked her kids to write special notes to their grandparents and tucked them inside the envelopes.  What a brilliant holiday keepsake for grandparents!

I made a pre-created book for our upcoming move overseas, in the hopes that it will help me collect all the assorted travel related items I want to keep and put them in a book in less then 6 months.  

Think it will work?  Well, whether it does add or not, when I finally get around to documenting the story, it will be very cute!  

I used a variety of tapes, envelopes and tags from the shop to add pockets and journaling areas to this book.  I'll be back to share photos when it is done!

Glassine Card and Envelope Set by Andrea Amu

Card and Glassine Envelope

This week I created a "Congrats and Best Wishes" card and envelope using the Curtsey Boutique glassine bags, kraft masking tape, gray fabric shabby chic butterfly embellishment and chalkboard heart.

I embossed the glassine bag with an Anna Griffin embossing folder in my Cuttlebug machine. I also embossed the kraft masking tape used in the middle of the torn cardstock strips.  

I rubbed some Pewter Distress Stain over the embossing on the masking tape to make it look like faux embossed metal strips.  I then used a white get pen to write my sentiment on the chalkboard heart embellishment.

Baby Shower Invite with Alyssa McGrew

Alyssa has a neat baby shower invitation to share with us today. It showcases how wonderfully our shipping tags fit in our small glassine bags.  Using one of our wood grain embossed tags as her base she stamped the "who, what, when, where and why" info on its center.  Adding a shabby chic butterfly was a great finishing touch.

I love the idea that by pulling out the tag you could reuse this card for another purpose,  eco-chic crafting!
