Hello my friends!
I have some exciting news today!
There is a *NEW* Challenge Blog for Artsystamper Digitals by Beverly Cole
and the fun starts TODAY!
The 1st and 3rd Monday of each month brings another Artsystamper Challenge
and today's theme is
AUTUMN COLORS
You need not use Beverly's beautiful digitals to enter our challenge but the design teams projects will be showcasing her amazing work and I hope you'll be inspired to pop over to her Etsy shop and grab a few beauties for yourself!
I chose to use a couple different sets today.
First of all, from the 'Autumn's Gifts Stamp Set', I have used the precolored leaves to create my background paper for this
fun Fall Gift Bag. I have created my paper using Word10 and the .png
precolored images.
I have a confession to make about the 'card' that is showcased on the front!
YEP ... it was originally the starts of an A6 CARD ... but then after I got rolling on the bag I thought that would be the perfect focus for the front of it. So, I cut the card to make just a single panel and VIOLA! Perfect focus for my gift bag!
To create the card I have used images from the 'Fruit Stand Stamp Set'. The background is the 'sign' panel ... just expanded in size to create my entire background. I have done some fussy cutting and popping up to add dimension.
The winner of our challenges will receive the stamp set of their choice from TheArtsystamperShop. Beverly Cole's selections offer stamps and sentiments in each set as well as pre-colored images for easy, last minute cards. Why not take a moment and check out what she has in the store!!
I hope you will hop on over to the Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog and enter!

This autumn gift bag is lovely as well as the autumn cards you've been creating. Scrolling through your blog I must congratulate you for becoming a great grandmother! Your family is beautiful and Charlie will be loved I'm sure :)
ReplyDeleteYou creations always pull me in and now you have made me want to join in the challenge. Well done! Lots of beauty here this morning!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully colored, Darlene. Love how the card turned into a gift bag. [Bunny]`

Wow, any little gift will be fabulous in this gorgeous bag!! Love how you used the card as focal point, the leaves background and the tiny red bow!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, it made a wonderful focus for your bag!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you made such a beautiful bag and card with the digitals. I wish I knew how to make use of them better. My only problem is that I will run out of printer ink a lot sooner as I only have a little supply with my cartridges but I sure admire your work.
ReplyDeleteLove love LOVE this set. The background paper you created is spot on. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Bev aka Artsystamper
I'm glad I have you to remind me of this because my head gets full and I really don't want to forget to go back to her shop again. This is a stunningly beautiful creation! I LOVE that you put the card on the bag 'cause that really takes it over the top. The wood grain piece in this set is so cool. You did such an amazing job here, Darlene!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the fall colors and design! Thanks for joining us at Sunday Stamps, hope to see you again soon!
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing bag! You did a super job creating the paper, and I have done the same thing with cards - chopped them up to use them for other projects! Time saver!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your project with us at Cut it Up for our Tags, Bags, or Boxes challenge!

ReplyDeleteGosh, Darlene, this is the first gift bag I've seen anyone make that I would want! But then, I'd probably ask for it back after giving a gift in it, LOLOLOL. Beautiful work! xoxo
