Tea Gift Bag

Hey Quietfire Fans! I have a few of friends who love to drink tea and as part of their birthday present,  I love to them add a few bags to their gift. So, I created this awesome Tea Gift Bag which features the Tea Stamp as well as a variety of other Quietfire Design Stamps and A Way With Words stencil. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite hot beverage and learn how to recreate my gift bag at home.

To start, you'll need a cotton drawstring bag. Place the Dotty A Way With Words stencil overtop of the bag. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink through the stencil. Switch the foam on the blending tool and blend Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink through the same stencil. Switch the foam on the blending tool one more time and blend Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink through the same stencil. Remove the stencil.

Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the Dotted Harlequin stamp and stamp randomly on the bag. Reapply the ink to the stamp and stamp onto the bag six more times.

Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the tea ring and stamp in the middle of the bag. Reapply the ink to the tea ring and stamp slightly overtop of the previous stamped tea ring.

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the splat stamp and stamp randomly on the bag. Reapply the Jet Black Archival Ink to the splat stamp and stamp four more times. Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the splat stamp and stamp randomly on the bag. Reapply the Potting Soil Archival Ink to the splat stamp and stamp seven more times.

Die cut a 2 1/4" stitched circle out of another cotton bag. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Tea stamp and stamp in the middle of the circle. Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the tea ring and stamp randomly on the circle. Reapply the ink to the tea ring stamp and stamp randomly five more times on the circle. Ink the edges of the circle using a blending tool with foam and Potting Soil Archival Ink.

To finish off your tea gift bag, foam square the Tea circle to the middle of the bag.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished Tea Gift Bag.

TEXTURED HOLIDAY WORDS- COAT/PURSE PIN

Hi Everyone! This is Holly with an altered item for you today.

It all starts with a button pin, and I found a bunch at the Thrift Store and a couple in my junk drawer.

I chose the 'Believe' stamp from the Textured Holiday Words set and stamped it using a Jet Black Archival Ink Pad. I used a variety of sheets of paper from the Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas paper pad {Ed. Note: Sorry!  This paper is now sold out, but we have lots of other beautiful papers!} to cover the button pin and then make the layers behind it. Spellbinders Classic Scallop Circles created the layers and cut out the center circles to access the pin back.

This pin uses Spellbinders Stars and 'Rejoice' from the Rejoice and Hallelujah stamp set, with a small Flourish added. 'Rejoice' was stamped with a Sepia Archival Ink Pad and the edges were sponged with Distress Inks. Gold glitter was mixed into Diamond Glaze and applied to the star and around the button base.

These pins are like potato chips- you can't have just one. Make some for friends too.

 

Thanks for looking!
