I used these great stamp sets from The Stamps of Life to create my project:
* summer4fun (sandcastle and fish)

* flipflops2stamp and patterns4sandals (flip flops)
I also used several die sets:
* Big Borders (scalloped edge on card and gift bag header)
* Sandal Dies (flip flops and waves)
* Hot Air Balloon Club Die Set (sunshine)
I added a bit of clear glitter to the sandcastle using a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
The flowers on my flip flops were made with the Triplets Flower Dies.
I also put together a fun Shaker Card for the Hop....
I used the following TSOL products for this fun card:
* Big Border Dies (zig-zag edge)
* tv2stamp stamp set and dies

ReplyDeleteYour projects make such a beautiful presentation. I would want to keep the treats as is. Wouldn't want to mess up the gorgeous packaging.
ReplyDeleteVery cute gift set. I especially love how you did the bag.
ReplyDeleteTanya ~ I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your projects. I would really like to know how to recreate the insert for your gift bag. Does it go inside the bag or out? Any basic instructions would be greatly appreciated!! This is FABULOUS!!

Thank you for your sweet comments Judy! The insert goes inside the bag - I cut my insert the same width as my gift bag (in this case 3 inches) and about 3-4 inches taller than the bag. Next, I score the insert at 1 inch and fold it up (this is the part that I glued the waves to) and again at 3 inches. The section between the 1 inch and 3 inch score fits into the bottom of my gift bag which is 2 inches wide. After filling the bag with my goodies, I cut the insert even with the top of my bag. I fold over the header and staple it to the top of my bag, then add a decorative mat to hide the staples. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
DeleteYou are WONDERFUL for answering my question ... and with so much detail!! Thank you, Tanya!! You ROCK!!
DeleteCute, cute, CUTE cards! I love the sandcastle and that little sunshine. Isn't it awesome? Great ideas here.
