Mini Gift Bag

Published on October 23, 2021October 23, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

For something a little bit different I have made these cute Mini Gift Bags which can hold a couple of sweets or a small piece of jewellery. It uses a piece of 15.2 x 15.2cm (6 x 6″) Designer Series Paper along with cardstock for handles and tag.

I did make this a few years ago using the Stampin’ Up! ® Envelope Punch Board and have a video on my YouTube Chanel HERE. I have remade this video showing how to make the same bag but without the use of a Punch Board. All the Measurements are below for you to print off.

Facebook Live Friday – Harvest Meadow

Published on September 11, 2021September 11, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

This week I did a bit of water colouring using the Harvest Meadow from the July- December Mini Catalogue. I love doing water colouring as I find it very relaxing.

I used a lot of colours in flowers & Stems to achieve depth in colour and texture.

I am sorry that in my video where I was putting the card together the camera was slipping in the holder so some of it is off screen but I think you can still get the idea of what I was doing…that’s a live for you anything can happen.

Facebook Live Friday – Forever Blossoms

Published on August 22, 2021August 23, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Friday’s Facebook live I delved into my stamps and pulled out an old favorite Forever Blossoms and Cherry Blossoms Dies. We tend to play with them when we first get them but then something new comes along and they get forgotten.

Looking at the Cherry Blossoms Dies I relised that I had never used all the blossom dies. I had fun cutting and colouring each of the blossoms, petal edges brushed with Blushing Bride and a touch of green from the Soft Pastels in the flower centers. The stamens cut from Mango Melody and sponged with Cajun Craze.

Facebook Live Friday – Flowers of Friendship

Published on July 23, 2021July 23, 2021 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Today of my Facebook Live I made this card using the Flowers of Friendship by Stampin’ Up! In this video

I show how to colour an image on black cardstock, as black absorbs colour and unless there is a white base underneath the colour won’t show. I also show how you can colour White Seam Binding and get a veriation in colour on the ribbon using alcohol.
