I have used the image A Christmas Fish and made a christmas card - a little funny; to find the christmas spirit and make a christmas card in July...
This weeks card is in a Clean And Simple style, with all sides of the card decorated in a very similar way.
Over the image, on the glass bowl, I put on a layer of Glossy Accents, so it looks more like real glass.
DPs are from BoBunny, stamped texts from Papirdesign, and of course the image is coloured with ProMarkers.

So, here's my christmas card with a pet, from different angles, all sides shown.
I hope you'll like it:

Summer @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning to you all on this beautiful Wednesday morning.
It's time for a new challenge over at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

This weeks theme is

Summer

How you interpret this is entirely up to you, but please remember you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, TriaMarkers or AquaMarkers and of course follow the theme to be entered into the prize draw, if not your entry will be deleted.

Our sponsor this week is

Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps

Prize is $10 voucher to spend on Digi's of the winners choice. 

Now, for my Summer Project:

I have decorated a little paperbag, just big enough to hold a giftcard - a giftcard to spend during the summer, maybe...

Both papers, flowers and the buttons are things I've had for a really long time, but I think they together were perfect for a summer project. I used one of the buttons as a decorative part of the closing. It might make the closing a little fiddlier, but I think it's cute though...

The card inside have got a little tab with a hemp cord run through, the buttons in each end of the cord prevents it from loosen from the tab (and looks cute...)

The closing:

Summer Shades

ProMarkers used to colour the image:
Skin: Ivory, Dusky Pink, Tan
Hair: Buttercup, Tan, Primrose
Clothes: Pale Blossom, Blossom, Pink Carnation
Sunglasses: Pink Carnation

Sizzix Toppers, Borders and Corners by Brenda Walton

Good Morning

Today I have another dies-set I have got to play with from Sizzix to show you.

I have to warn you; this is a rather pictureheavy post, with measurings for the paperbag I made, and with lots of close up pictures, I hope you'll find it interesting enough to continue reading...

The dies set I got from Sizzix this time is called

Toppers, Borders and Corners by Brenda Walton

This set contains 8 different dies, and was super fun to play with.

I made a paperbag that fitted the size of the dieses.

Here's my finished paperbag:

(You'll find measurements for the paperbag further down in the post)

Backside:

Opened up:

After a little try- and failing I came up with these measurements for the paperbag:

(I used 250g cardstock to make the paperbag)

Cardstock size: 8 1/4" x 10"

Score: 3 1/8", 4 5/8", 7 3/4" and 9 1/4" (it leaves a 3/4" strip to glue the paperbag together)

Score shortside on 1/2" for the bottom part of the bag

This leaves the paperbag 8 1/4" high, but of course it can be cut at the hight you want...

I used papers from G45 on the bag before I attached the top and bottom covers.

Then I covered the bottom part with one of the dies from the set, the scorelines on the die-cut matches the foldings on the bag just perfect:

I covered the top of the bag with anothe dies from the set. 

This one is only attached at the back of the bag, to be able to open the paperbag:

I decorated the part that is attached to the bag the same way as the frontside:

Inside the lid I put on a magnet to keep the bag closed (of course there's a magnet underneath the DP on the bag, as well...)

On the back of the paperbag I used an image from a G45 DP, lined for writing a little greeting or personal message

I think this little charms fitted just perfect for the paperbag

Materials used:

Dies: Sizzix Toppers, Borders and Corners by Brenda Walton (SIZ-660258)

DesignPapers: Authentique Anchored Paper Pad (AU-ANC500)

Charms: Storyteller (ST-008226)

DistressInk WalnutStain (RAN-TIM19534)

Stamp inside the lid on top: G45

Cheesecloth, Seambindingribbon, Twine, Button, Halfpearls

Sizzix Dies Treat Bag Topper by Lori Whitlock

Hi again
Some of us DT-girls at Storyteller have got the dies-set Treat Bag Topper by Lori Whitlock from Sizzix to play with, and today is the day to show you what we've made with this supercute dies set.
The set has 12 different dies, so here's plenty to choose from to make and decorate a treat bag.
I have tried all dies, tough I didn't use them all on this treat bag, and all of them made perfect cuts.

Sizzix
Treat Bag Topper by Lori Whitlock

I made a topper for a girly giftbag, filled with "necessities" for a girl.
Isn't it adorable! I love this dies set, and will very soon have to try it out with paperbags instead of a cellofane bag too. (That, I think, will be perfect for little christmas treats).
Well, enough talk, here's my Treat Bag:

Materials Used:

Sizzix dies: Treat Bag Topper (660291)

Bazzill Kraft cardstock

Bazzill Green cardstock

Scrap papers
DistressInk WalnutStain

In the middle of the flowers I put some flower stamens I bought years ago, originally to use in marzipane flowers...
