Transform a Simple Paper Bag into a Beautiful Gift Bag

By Anna Escalada York

– I wanted to decorate a small brown bag before reusing it as a gift bag for a coworker’s gift. This card was quick and easy but looks really pretty and features VersaFine Clair Inks.

Skill: Beginner
Time: 1 hour

Directions

Step 1:
Stamp a solid organic circle shape with Lemonade VersaFine Clair Ink on the edges of a small brown paper bag. Repeat on the back of the bag.

Step 2:
Quickly stamp two different solid leaf stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the two Lemonade circles. Add clear embossing powder over both the Lemonade-colored circles and the black leaves and heat emboss them. Repeat the process on the back of the bag.

Step 3:
Stamp the splatter wreath twice on the bag with Baby Pink VersaFine Clair Ink–once on the upper right corner of the bag and once on the central right part of the bag. Then heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the other side of the bag.

Step 4:
Stamp a row of small hearts on the bag twice with Dahlia Purple VersaFine Clair Ink. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back of the bag.

Step 5:
Stamp the same solid leaf stamps from step 2 with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink inside the splatter leaf stamps. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back side of the bag.

Create a Cute Monochrome Halloween Card 

By Jessica Lin –

Skill: Beginner
Time: 30 minutes

Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Spooky season is right around the corner, can you believe it? I have a monochrome Halloween card idea to share with you today. The supplies are minimal and it’s beginner friendly, too! 

Step 1:
The focal point of today’s card are these adorable cats dressed in Halloween costumes. They are from Mama Elephant’s Meowlloween stamp set. I decided to stamp them on Stardream Metallic 5 x 7 Onyx cardstock as little black cats. After stamping with VersaMark Dazzle ink, I heat embossed the images with silver embossing powder and fussy cut them with scissors.

Step 2:
Next, I picked a patterned paper from the Chalkboard Prints 6×6 cardstock pad and trimmed it to 3 ¾’’ x 5’’. There are a lot of great patterns in this paper pad that are black and white, and perfect for Halloween cards. The Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock is used as the card base. 

Step 3:
Since the focal images and background are both black, adding a piece of vellum would really help the black kitties stand out against the dark background. I trimmed a piece of Curious Translucent vellum to a width of 4 ½’’, and tore the edges by hand. This is one of my favorite ways to layer with vellum and I like the look and organic feel of the torn edges. For the sentiment, I picked a classic “Happy Halloween” stamp from Brutus Monroe’s Occasional Greetings set. I stamped it with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. 

Step 4:
Finally, let’s adhere all of the elements together. I mounted the black cats and background panel with foam tape, and adhered the sentiment strip and vellum piece with Tear-It! Tape. A few rhinestones were also added with On-Point Glue, and the card is complete!

Imagine Supplies: 

● VersaMark Dazzle – Champagne
● Embossing Powder
● VersaFine Clair – Nocturne
● On Point Glue
● StazOn Cleaner
● Tear-It! Tape
● Craft Mat
