Theme: it’s in the bag
Giveaway: 2 spools of divine twine & a pack of 20 bitty bags of winner’s choice
I'm a HUGE fan of Whisker Graphics' bags.
Today, I customized a Middy Bag to fit my 3.5 x 6 inch card:
I lifted up the adhesived seams and then used my bone folder to help with the process. I made the bag a smidge skinner and a bit shorter. I used my Stampin' Up scallop border punch to 'finish off' the top of the bag.
It isn't anything how I had originally pictured the end project but I just started fussy cutting a sheet of Bo Bunny paper and the "envie" and card took a life of it's own!
The card, as I mentioned before is 3.5 x 6. I really like working with that size.
I added a SRM sticker to the Studio Calico wood veneer.
This went to my niece who turned 18 yesterday. My niece gravitates towards black....so I hope that she likes this. All the customizing of the bag along with the fussy cutting....then there are the much hoarded woodgrain letters and wood veneer....nobody but a crafter would 'get it'....kwim?
I can't wait to see what you link up!

Love the card and bag!!
Awesome job, Amy!!
Amazing!!! She will love this!!!
I wonder that all the time... I have been 'volun-told' that I am 'the card maker' for all the birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy, weddings etc at work... and I always wonder ... do they 'realize' all the crafty hints I am giving them on the cards I make for them??? LOL!! Of course, it works in my favor if they don't --- I made a Halloween card for a MEAN MEAN MEAN co-worker one time ... and I made sure she got a witch! LOL!!!
