Simple Lavender Bags

It was time to dust off my sewing machine when Stampin' Up! introduced fabric, but I had to start simple! These lavender bags were so easy to make, now I can move on to projects a little more taxing! The pink fabric is from the Flirtatious set, and is cut using the Big Shot Scalloped Square die. The Pool Party bag I didn't 'pretty up' as it was a gift for my brother and I didn't want it to look girly!! I'm hoping it will induce calm and restful sleep....

The fabric is from the Spice Cake set which is found in the new Spring Mini Catalogue. Both are filled with home grown lavender and make ideal gifts so why not make a selection!

A Spicy start to 2012!

This was my first class of 2012 and used new items from the Spring Mini Catalogue which is full of new products. The Spice Cake Designer Series Paper and co-ordinating fabric, set the colour combo of Pool Party, Soft Suede, More Mustard and Very Vanilla.
This shows the beautifully soft Very Vanilla velvet ribbon.
The flowers on this pyramid card were cut using the Big Shot Fancy Flowers Die, and then embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. Each flower was then lightly inked with Soft Suede and layered, curling each petal slightly. The tiniest vanilla flower in the centre is from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch set and this is finished off with a Pearl Jewel.
Now this cute package contains chocolate, so I was lucky to get a photo before it disappeared! The wrapping is a glassine bag which has been put through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. A strip of Spice Cake fabric is used as a ribbon and the tag was punched from the Decorative Label and Modern Label punch. It is completed with the greeting from Create a Cupcake and a Itty Bitty punched flower and pearl.

If you would like to order any (or all!) of the products to create these projects, just e-mail me at clare@sparklecrafts.com. To browse the catalogues, just click the pictures on the right.
