We are casing the catalog for this month's Fancy Friday Blog Hop. If you never have cased a sample made for a Stampin' Up! catalog, brochure, or ad I highly recommend giving it a try. It not only is fun and gets the stampin' mojo working, it's a study in balance, placement, color, and offers a style that is new to you.
There were so many projects I wanted to case that I couldn't decide. So, I shut my eyes, flipped open the Catalog, and pointed to the bright green and white striped "hooray" bag in the photo above. I was totally jazzed to make the project even though I had thought about converting it into a card, in the end I decided to make my own gift bag out two sheets of Happiness Blooms DSP.
Following my Catalog project I cut layers and strips of paper to match the bag from the same pack of Happiness Blooms DSP. For the inside of the marquee I used some Silver Foil which I embossed with the Corrugated Dynamic TIEF. The "wish" is cut with Black Foil and Whisper White Cardstock. The white is offset just a touch to create a drop shadow effect.
Get ready for it! Next up is the ONE, the ONLY, the OUTSTANDING, Stamping Susan Wong!

ReplyDeleteShut your eyes and point! I love this idea and must try it next time. Such a fun project and love your color choices.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is fabulous! I love the colour pallet you chose and all the added little layers and details. And I can't believe you closed your eyes and pointed, lol. Just goes to show that you can make anything and have it turn out even more amazing than the original.

Ha, what a fun way to chose a project and I must give that a go! This is a fantastic take on the original. I love the color choices too!
ReplyDeleteDo I just go to Pinterest and ask for Gift Bags Instructions? I've never made one and have no idea where to start? But, I do LOVE your decorations of your bag as well as the way you chose your design! TFS!
