Happy Blooming Birthday Hand Bag

Hey there peeps and welcome back,

Today as promised is the final piece to the Happy Blooming Birthday set...
The Hand Bag for the cards to go in....

Its quite a big bag as it has to take 6" x 7" cards which is just short of A5. I used Cucumber Crush Card Stock to make the bag then added a piece of DSP around the middle so its quite a sturdy bag.

I then put another piece of card top and bottom to hide the joins, embellishing it with faux stitching and scallop edges.

I added a cute little pocket to the front which has been stamped with the Flower Patch stamp set.

And a cute teddy, not sure if I am going to leave him poking out of the pocket or if I will make him into a bag charm hanging from the handles!...

 Its quite roomy inside, plenty of room for 4 cards and 4 Envelopes, plus more...

 And here is the finished set, I am loving the way it has turned out...

Just to give an idea of size.....

So I hope you have enjoyed my little Gardening Teddies set, thanks for stopping by...

Happy Blooming Birthday (part 4)

Well hello peeps and welcome back....

Yesterday was really hot, but not so hot here today, the garden isn't calling to me so its the perfect weather to stay in and craft lol....

So I have the last card in this Happy Blooming Birthday series of Gardening Teddy Bears and she is adorable.....

Here she is with her little pot of pink flowers and her packet of seeds.....

The top of this card looked a little sparse so I stamped some green branches from the stamp set Flower Patch and added a little butterfly from the stamp set Papillon Potpourri.

To stamp the word seeds I used the Alphabet Rotary Stamp, its a bit like those date stamps where you can create your own date, well with this you can create your own words and phrases...well cool...

Its funny I was happy with this card but felt it needed just a little bit more color so I added the two butterflies..perfect...lol

And here we have the finished set...just need to make some more envelopes and a bag for them to go in... check back tomorrow to see what I have made.

Thanks for stopping by...
