  Hello lovlies, happy to see you here again. I plan to give some handmade cards as christmas presents and was thinking about a nice Packaging for them. So I came up with this simple and easy but nice packaging idea.  I made the sides of the box with some folded paper, so the box can also hold some thicker cards or even more then 5 normal cards and envelopes. I wanted that it can also fit some dimensional cards as for example shaker cards.  After I cut and scored the paper, I used a big brush and my water colours to add some colour. For some more intrest I added Lace doilies with a ink pad that matches the background water colour.  Futher I used some water colours on a thick cardstock for some decorations pieces. For decoration I used the Textured Feathers stamp set and a bunch of embossing powders. After stamping and heatembossing the Feather I fuzzy cut them .  At last I glued eveything together, added some magnets to hold the box closed and added a bow....

 Hello arty friends, Angie here! I'm always trying to think of alternative ways of wrapping present and trying to avoid materials that can't be recycled, so this time I have been making small gift pouches using book pages, but you could use other papers from your stash. There are a lot of tutorials on the Internet for folding little pouches, and whilst I'm not going into a detailed description here I hope the photos give you an idea of what to do, it really is very simple. I've used double sided scrapbook paper so you can see which way I'm folding, and washi tape so you can see where to glue, but I used double sided tape on the actual pouches. I hope I'm making sense!  After making my book page pouches I used the doilie stamps to emboss white and metallic on black paper,  then stamped in shades of blue/turquoise on white paper.  I cut out the Doilies then arranged them on the pouches. I tried to arrange some of the so that the Doilies would line up on the closed...

 Hello arty friends, how are you? It seems to have turned cold here so a good excuse to stay indoors and make some art. I have recently rescued a pile of packaging paper from a delivery and I thought I might use some of it. I cut some of it into A5 (ish) size. I used embossing ink, white embossing powder and some of the Doilie stamps to create a background. The embossing ink soaks into the brown paper quite quickly so I only did a few at a time. I stamped some of the Sketchy Birds onto watercolour paper, coloured them in with watercolours and cut them out (I forgot to take a photo at this point!) I created a branch by cutting out some black and white scrapbook paper and glueing it to the background.  Then I arranged the birds on the branch, used coloured pencils to add some shading and applied some Stickles glitter. I matted the whole page onto a darker background and added a quote sticker. These little birds really make me feel happy! Until next time, Hugs from Angie x Stamps...
