Joy Gift Bag

 

Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with how to create this easy to make Joy Gift Bag for adding that special touch to those little gifts. I've combined a variety of Quietfire Design Stamps and Modern Gilding Powders which were all perfect for creating this gift bag. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Joy Gift Bag at home.

To start, you'll need a cotton bag of whatever size you'd like. Apply Vermillion Archival Ink to the Merry Christmas Background and stamp at the bottom of the tag. Reapply ink to the stamp and continue stamping to the top of the bag. 

Die cut a 2 1/2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of cream cardstock.

Die cut a 3" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of red cardstock. 

Apply Emboss It Ink to the tree stamp from the Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas stamp set and stamp on the cream rectangle. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped tree. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. 

Die cut a 2 1/4" Stitched Circle out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Joy word from the Bright Holiday Words Stamp Set and stamp onto the circle. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders overtop of the joy word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Distress the edges of both rectangles and circle. Ink the edges of both rectangles and circle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 2 1/2" rectangle to the 3" rectangle. Foam square the 3" rectangle to the middle of the bag.

To finish the bag, use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the joy circle to the bottom right corner of the bag.

Twinkle & Sparkle

Hey Quietfire Fans! It's all about Christmas in July this week on the blog and I'm excited to share my Twinkle & Sparkle Tag. 

My tag features a variety of Quietfire Stamps and A Way With Words Dies. Grab a cup of your favourite Christmas beverage and learn how to recreate my Twinkle & Sparkle tag at home. 

To start, die cut the Flourished Oval Frame die out of the middle of a tag. 

Set the Flourished Oval Frame aside. You'll need the tag with the frame outline. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Merry Christmas Background stamp and stamp onto the tag. Reapply the ink to the stamp and stamp again on the remainder of the tag. Sprinkle Glacier White Embossing Powder over top of the tag. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Candied Apple and Fired Brick Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the tag. Use a baby wipe to wipe the ink off the embossed words. Spritz the ink with water.

Grab the Flourished Oval Frame. Apply Emboss It Ink to the frame. Sprinkle Charred Gold Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Next you'll need a plain tag. 

Using a blending tool with foam and blend Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink in the middle of the tag. Spritz the ink with water. Dry the tag with a heat tool. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Twinkle & Sparkle stamp from the Bright Holidays Word and stamp onto the middle of the tag. Sprinkle Doubloon Emboss Powder over the word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Apply Emboss It Ink to the dot stamp from the Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Stamp set and stamp randomly around the Twinkle & Sparkle sentiment. Sprinkle Iridescent Shimmer Embossing Powder over the dots. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Adhere the Flourished Oval Frame inside the tag that has the Flourished Oval Frame cut out. 

Distress the edges of both tags. Ink the edges of both tags using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Foam square the tag with the frame overtop of the tag that has the sentiment on it.

Die cut three snowflakes from the Brr word die out of white cardstock. Add a glitter dot to the middle of each snowflake.

Use a paint brush and Black Soot Distress Spray Stain to splat the ink randomly on the tag. Adhere one snowflake in the top right corner of the frame. Adhere the other two snowflakes on the bottom left side of the frame. 

Tie a white ribbon at the top of the tag. To finish off the tag, choose a couple of metal snowflakes and tie them to the middle of the bow with a piece of twine.
