Blossom card,tag and bag

Good afternoon friends, brrr it's a bit chilly here today. Autumn is well and truly here I think.

I have a few photo's to share with you.  I made a few cards and matching bags and  also a bottle  tag. This is the pink set,  I will show you the Cool Aqua set  in another post.

I just fancied making a few bags for my SIL's & a friend with a matching  card. As we are visiting them soon, I  thought it would be a nice surprise. 

I will either fill the bags with some yummy chocolates or bake some cookies. I may add a pair of earrings if I can find the time to make some. They do seem to LOVE my earrings  lol!

I have some clear acetate to wrap them ( the cookies/chocs) in. I will add a  matching ribbon too. Then pop it all  in one of the bags. The wine of course and maybe a nice bouquet of flowers  too ;)


The bags were a bit of a faff to make, but after a couple of trial runs I just went for it with proper card! Lots of  tutorials out there so I won't add a link.        

    I used thick paper on the next bags  but  card for this one.Anyway come and have   a closer peek at them all......

Here they are all together ;)

Hi again, not been a great week for me.
Thankyou to all my lovely friends and
followers here who have been so great
leaving such kind comments/emails, you
are the best.
Quick update below regarding previous post.
My brother is now in a critical condition,
......so just a waiting game I'm afraid. He has a
tumour and nothing more can be done it seems.
I didn't feel like making any cards this week,
but in the end decided to make just one to
help keep my mind off things.I may go missing
shortly so at least you will all know why.
The grandbabies are also due very soon,( see
above right) so I have a few things to sort
and not sure if a funeral or birth will come first.....
Sorry if I don't leave many comments this week
also...but I'm sure you will understand.

Anyway about my card.
Of course it had to be a LIM one again for
the 'Less is More' site. It's a colour one this
week and it's
 Predominantly Purple

I used TH Dusty Concord ink , then I stamped
with the same ink using my new My Paper World
swirls and wording set.I stamped with the swirls first
then I stamped the wording part with Momento
Sweet plum ink.I tore the edge of the card then 3d'd it
on top as a panel. I die cut a butterfly using the
same inked & stamped card, then added embossing
using a Cuttlebug folder . I added some glamour dust
& some purple gems, ( they are purple/green but look
different here as they shine a few colours).I like the idea
of the butterfly matching the card behind it, will be
doing more like this ! Hope you like it too.
