This week at Frosted Designs, our theme is Give a Gift. I used paper and a digi image from one of our sponsors - Cedar Chest Designs.
I printed out the elephant. I was thinking it would look cute on a canvas but did not want to color the image in. I printed out an 8x8 page in green with dots. I am not super savy with digi images, so I put the elephant on my copy machine and ran the printed page through.
I fussy cut the elephant out. Later I learned how to size the images, but by then I really liked my polka dotted ellie!!!
I wanted to take the theme literally {Give a Gift} and thought about decorating a gift bag instead of making an actual gift. I got a brown kraft gift bag and got started!
I needed some grass. I found this grass border on Martha Stewart Season Art Cake. I put three of them on my mat (sized to 1") and welded them together.
I cut the grass out in lime green cardstock.
I grabbed this K and Company paper from my stash and trimmed it to fit on the bag.
I punched three circle "balloons" out of an old book page. I inked them purple, green and pink. I used my 5" Xyron to adhere them to my bag.
I used matching twine for the knot and balloon string.
I used a strip of tissue tape with birds on it from Michaels.
This bag would be perfect for a baby gift or a child's birthday gift!!
Be sure to join us at Frosted Designs with a Give a Gift item of your own!!
