Decided to challenge myself with a muted colour palette on an upcycled paper bag for this week's Make Stuff Monday.
Pretty happy to be able to use up the little bits in my stash that fall under the muted colour scheme.
As always, it was finished with glimmer mist to tie everything together. :)
Another week, yet another mish mash upcycled decorated paper bag. Yep. Scored a few Kraft paper bags recently...so more to come! *winks*
Creative time has been limited of late so I have been trying to vary my style to keep learning and growing in whatever time I do have.
Also making a concerted effort to use up my "save it for a rainy day" stash...
And just gluing stuff down instead of wasting time contemplating...
I really like how bright and colourful this piece turned out. ;)
Just a super fun upcycled paper bag for Make Stuff Monday. Wanted to use up lots of scrap bits. :)
Happy week ahead friends!
I recently scored some unadorned Kraft bags and just had to get to decorating! *winks*
Trying a vertical design and experimenting with creating different clusters that are linked by colours.
Happy week ahead friends!:)
Happy Monday! Just a quick decorated paper bag project with bits from a recent happy mail.
Tried to use the decorated collage piece as is and just added a few extra elements to make it more "me".
And here is my completed project. :)
What do you think?
Happy Monday friends! Today's Make Stuff Monday is this Sunshine Fun paperbag! :)
I started with this Giorgio Armani paperbag which was shiny silver.
I toned down the silver with a green cardstock as my base for my embellishments.
I switched out the original black handles to white ones for a more cohesive look. :)
Happy Friday friends! Been clearing out my cupboard of "someday I will use this" stuff and found even more unadorned paper bags that need immediate love. *winks* Did have to recycle some cardboard boxes that I was hoping to get to someday but it's been years.
I've always been big on repurposing and upcycling stuff with the actual recycling in the bin being a last resort. But I have to be more practical these days. I just don't have that much time. Plus I do "flatter" projects (for easy storage) these days so I have to be more discerning about the stuff I keep in my "save it for a rainy day" stash.
I used to "accept" donations from well-meaning being but not anymore. If you are consuming something, you need to deal with the packaging yourself. I get enough to work with just using the by-products of my own consumption *LOL*.
What about you? Is your "save it for a rainy day" stash getting out of hand?
Happy Monday friends! Just found this large undecorated black paper bag in my stash *shocking music plays in the background*....I don't know how this happened. But it had to be remedied immediately of course.
Yep... I went the cute route. *winks*
Might have been overzealous with the misting. *LOL*
P/s: What's been happening in your neck of the woods? We are having general elections on May 3rd so I have been listening to a lot of political rallies before I cast my vote. Our campaign period is just 9 days with a cool-off day before polling day.
Didn't feel like digging through my paper scraps so I just went with random stuff around my desk..even took out some highly-neglected coloured mists, buttons and bling. Note to self: It was fun...do it again soon!
Just scraps and happy mail bits as always...
And finished with pearl mist of course. :)
Here is the original Kraft bag....really love the handles. :)
I went all in with my diecuts and happy mail bits. Can you tell? *LOL*
Happy week ahead friends!
Happy Friday! Just a quick decorated mini bag to share. The fun girly was fussy cut from a Jane Davenport paper wrapper. Just added patterned paper and a hello diecut. :)
It was a lovely mini bag to start with... some embossed details. Got it from a Gucci Beauty event.
Enjoy your weekend friends!
