Try it Thursday #5

For this Try It Thursday today I made a bag using my gift bag punch board. Previously, I had only used the gift bag punch board to create a cute as box. With Easter just around the corner I made a little gift bag for my nephews Easter gift. Usually, I buy my niece and nephews chocolate but this particular nephew isn't even 2 months old so a sweet little gift was ideal.

It's a little hard to see in the photo but I used the horizontal score line on the top of the bag also to create a folded edge at the top of the gift bag (much like the gift bags you purchase in stores). I used this video for the inspiration on the folded edge.

Floral Bendi Card

A funky 3D card with bends (hence the name, bendi card) created in class this month.

While making my bendi card, I needed mini brads for the smallest flowers. Of course the only mini brads I had where silver. Nothing a quick dip in Versamark inkpad, embossing powder and a heat tool can't fix. Embossing brads is just like embossing a stamped image only I suggest using tweezers or something else to hold the brads (I stuck mine in a cork.)

Try it Thursday comes from the Stampin' Up! blog (source). Artisan Award winner Jessica Winter designed this fabulous mini box using the gift bag punch board. I adored the box so much that I had to order the gift bag punch board to make my own. 

By using the bow builder punch on the top of the box, the box reminds me of a Tiffany's box. Not that I have seen too many of those!

Jessica provided a template for ease but the one thing I found not listed (that helped me) was to remember to mark the side mark by using the "side 2" grove/line. To create the "triangle" shape you also score at the "side 2" mark.
I also printed out the template (with my handwritten notes) and keep it stored in my gift bag punch board box.

A fun, floral botanical gardens suite created todays quick and simple card. I've not stamped on this card, but using the botanical blooms stamp set and stamping over the "blank" leaves on the botanical gardens designer series paper it's quick to personalise the designer series paper. Botanical blooms stamp set co-ordinates with both the designer series paper and framelits in the bundle.
