Roses on Paper Challenge 22

The 1st card is for the Challenge and the 2nd card is
what I was going to submit but used the
wrong stamp lol . I still posted the card anways :)

I have entered this card into 3 challenges this week.

The challenge this week at Roses on Paper is to pick
a sketch, your choice , and a colour scheme.
The colours are Green,
Orange, and Brown.

I had made a card for this challenge yesterday and
was going to post it..but I had used the
wrong stamp lol .
Sooo I had to make another card .
I am not used to useing browns, oranges or greens
in cards other than for some
grass or trees haha .
So I had a lot of fun making these cards.

I am also entering this card into the
Anyone for Anya challenge . The theme this week
is to pick a TGF image that best represents your personality.
Well since it is getting cold outside and I have broke
out my sweaters and scarves, I thought
this image would be cute.

So the sketch I chose for my card is from
Belles 'N Whistles Blog. I liked
the idea of the
leaves on the card, and thought I would try it.
Plus the layout is really pretty . So am also
entering it into
the BnW challenge.

One Eyed Pretty Monster Card and Treat Bag

I have been making some small treat bags for Halloween with matching cards. I have been asked how I make my treat bags. So I thought I would show a set I have made and then a small tutorial on how I make the bags.

One Eyed Pretty Monster

I cut the eye out with nestabilities . And put a 3-d tab to raise the eyebrow off the card .I embossed the mouth on the card and bag so it would have some depth to it.
I used my zigzag scissors to cut the hair out .

The bow is a die from my daughters Cuttlekids set.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Box Tutorial

Items used:
5x10 inch piece of cardstock or paper
Glue or sticky tape
Twine
Hole punch
Score board (if you have one)
Scissors

I know my pictures are not very good...but I thought
I would try and show how I make my boxes.

I dont have a score board , so I have drawn the lines on the paper to show
you and marked it off so you could see the measurements.

The cardstock is 5x10
and then I marked a 1 inch line on each side , and in the middle
I have marked 4.5 and 5.5 inch mark .
These are the lines you will score on .

After I have scored all lines and I cut the middle 2 flaps ,
this helps support the bottom of the bag. I fold up the one end
and tape it to the 2 flaps for the base.

And then I fold up the last side and tape it in place.
You can adjust them how you like .
After all of that I punch 2 small holes on the side and
put my twine thru and tie knots into it .

Let me know what you think and
thank you for looking :)
