Embellish a linen bag with a tag

Hello Sizzix Friends,
another sunday is here!
I love wrapping gifts up using linen bags.
They are so useful and I love decorating them in every way.
Today I want to show you how embellish them with a cardboard tag.

You need:
Linen bag
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray) (660020)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK - Hearts (657561)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Kraft Cardboard
Cardstock
Scissors
Tape
Hole punch
Crop-a-dile

My tips:

 

- Realize two hole in the tag instead of one.

In this way you will be able to close the linen bag with a cotton ribbon while fixing the tag on the bag. 

 

- Create several tags with different wishes (love, laught, live, dream...)

Wrap some presents up using the tags and you guest will choose the package with its favourite wish.

Enjoy your sunday!

Buon pomeriggio a tutti!

Adoro confezionare piccoli sacchetti di stoffa e ancora di più renderli personali decorandoli ogni volta in modo diverso.

Oggi vi mostro come ho abbellito l'ultima volta un sacchetto regalo.

Il tutorial è estremamente facile.

 

Ho usato:

Sacchettino di stoffa

Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray) (660020)

Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK - Hearts (657561)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Cartoncini
Nastro
Perforatrice
Crop-a-dile

 

I miei suggerimenti:

 

- Create nella tag di cartoncino due fori anziché uno.

In questo modo riuscirete a chiudere il sacchetto con il nastro di cotone e contemporaneamente ad applicare la tag.

 

- Create diverse tag con diverse scritte e confezionate tanti diversi sacchettini per i vostri ospiti.

Ognuno sceglierà il proprio in base all'augurio che preferisce (sorridi, sogna, ama, auguri, vivi, ecc..)

 

 

 

 

 

 

A domenica prossima!

Giftbox

Hey there!

Today it's saturday and I'm here again to show you a little Tutorial for a giftbox.

I like this asymmetrical shape.

On my journey to the Netherlands , I found the granules Coli Star. Small color grains, structure like salt. You sprinkle it very sparingly on watercolor paper. Then you spray water on the paper and the fireworks begins. You have to dry the paper, before you emboss for example a lettering.

Now you build the box from a piece of square paper. I used a piece, size10 cm by 10cm. Fold it like the pictures. One flap will not seal. You need the opening to fill the box. For this tab I used non permanent adhesive.

Finally, the best part :) Decorate the box!

SIZZIX Textured Imressions Embossing Folder - Candy Hearts

I used the beautiful Embossingfolder 'Candy Hearts' for the design of the background. From the watercolor paper I have two hearts punched out with my Big Shot and sewn onto the background. The word 'hello' I cut it out three times in different colors.

 Than I have strung a few beads and stuck the card on the box. Finished!

I hope you like it!

Have a good weekend. Until next week!
