Chevron Cards & Matching Gift Bag

On Friday I promised you I would show today the whole project that Fast Friday 10's card came from... Well firstly I didn't just make one card ... I made three!


And there's more ... they all fit inside a co-ordinating gift bag (yes I know I am very matchy, matchy!):


This project makes a great present for friends and/or family – I did something similar as stocking fillers at Christmas and they went down a storm. I did them in different colourways/combinations than the one here - and tried to choose (what I knew/thought) were the favourite colours of the recipient!

Top tip - to make sure you get an even and full impression when using a large background stamp, make sure you use a wood mounted version of the stamp and take the ink pad to the stamp and then place your folded card base on top of the stamp. Place a piece of scrap paper over the top and then using the brayer roll over the entire stamp - works every time!

In fact I have just returned from an A-MAZ-ING crafting weekend in Birmingham with some fellow demonstrators and I designed this version of the project for one of the Make & Take sessions. The whole weekend we crafted, we shared and we cared! And now we are ... exhausted!

If you like this project and place an order for £30 or more during April, I will give you a free copy of the tutorial with all the instructions you need.

To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Crumb Cake, Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Fresh Prints DSP stack ♦ Stamps: Positively Chevron, Too Kind, Teeny Tiny Sentiments ♦ Ink: Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Craft White ♦ Tools/Accessories: Tag a Bag Gift Bag, Scallop 2⅜" Circle punch, Circle 1¾” punch, brayer, glue dot/tombow


You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly. Make sure you check back on Wednesday 9 April as Stampin' Up! will be releasing weekly deals throughout April and I have no idea what they will be - so I am just as excited as you!

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Fast Friday - Week 10

The initial idea for this week's quick card came from a gift package I received from my upline at a craft reward day last year - she had made a really cute wrapping using Stampin' Up's Tag a Bag Gift Bag. I realised that if I used the Positively Chevron background stamp with white craft ink onto crumb cake card I could get a similar effect for my card base.


The card is actually one of a set of three which make up another project.  Why not come back on Sunday and I will show you the whole project?


To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Fresh Prints DSP stack ♦ Stamps: Positively Chevron, Too Kind, Teeny Tiny Sentiments ♦ Ink: Craft White, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler ♦ Tools/Accessories: Scallop 2⅜" Circle punch, Circle 1¾” Punch

Have a great weekend - I'm going to be spending time crafting with some fabulous crafty friends!

A la prochaine! Amitiés!
