Hello! I'm up on the DCWV Blog today showing this cute gift bag I made for a friend who definitely deserves the time and extra effort. We've been friends for 13 years! gasp! I made this with one sheet from the DCWV Brights 11x17 stack. You can find these super size stacks at Joann stores.  I love them because they're double sided and the patterns and solids coordinate so beautifully. Here's how I creased the paper:  I used my scoring tool and ruler to make the creases. I folded along the lines and I folded the top and bottom one inch down so the solid color would show against the pattern.  Next, I cut the middle tabs as shown, then turned it over: To decorate the front more, I placed a strip of DCWV gold  glitter paper under the fold, About half an inch of gold is showing. I made sure to crease the gold paper first where it will need to fold.  Now you can fold your bag up. Make sure the middle tabs are inside...

Hello! I can't believe it's already September!  that means my baby turns 1 this month. oh my God where did the time go? so I'm using the pink foil stationery and the silver and white box of cards to create birthday invites. I use the front of the silver foil stationery but had to back it up onto silver and white card because the stamp I wanted to use on the inside was longer than the pink foil card. I cut the greeting out of black DCWV cardstock using my scan N cut. then I ran it through the Xyron sticker maker. I cut the one out of DCWV shimmer cardstock and backed it with DCWV silver glitter paper. Hope I've inspired you to play with your crafty supplies today!
