Hello pals, it is Nikki (a2a.craft) with you for an additional With 3 Issues put up. 

This characteristic on the PaperArtsy Weblog is the place 3 bloggers are despatched 3 objects within the put up. We now have no clue what PaperArtsy HQ goes to ship us, there could be a slight variation however usually 2 of the three issues might be similar for every of the three contributors on this cycle.

I used to be despatched a big paper present bag and tags as my substrate, PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylics in Copper (FF120) and Chantilly (FF215), together with PaperArtsy stencil PS439 and PaperArtsy stamp set JOFY137 – each from JOFY’s current Christmas launch.

I’ve made a Christmas present bag and a few Christmas playing cards…. let’s have a look.

I used to be somewhat overwhelmed with the dimensions of the present bag I acquired so determined to deconstruct it to make smaller ones.

So initially I rigorously opened up the big bag to see the way it was constructed after which created a template for a smaller model.

Having minimize the right measurement paper from the bigger bag I embellished it utilizing the squares on stencil PS439. As I used alternate colors I created somewhat masks in order that I might sponge every sq. rapidly with out having to fret about paint going within the incorrect sq.!

These two colors look nice on the brown paper of the bag. The Copper has a slight shimmer to it.

As soon as the paint was totally dry I rigorously scored the paper as per my template and reconstructed by bag – I used one deal with from the unique bag and made two smaller ones.

Now for my tags – which ended up as playing cards! I began with my gel plate, simply ‘messing round’ and seeing what occurred. I launched a 3rd color – PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic in Weathered Copper (FF196) – so as to add some inexperienced for a superb outdated Christmas color palette.

You may even see above how the Copper paint appears barely totally different on white card to manilla – and likewise turns extra pink if combined with Chantilly.

I really like these randomly created prints – simply constructing layers utilizing the Gel plate.

I stamped the photographs from JOFY137 onto each plain card and prints and began increase my tags. 


I’ve paper pieced some parts, and added somewhat additional paint to others.

I made a decision so as to add my tags to playing cards – so used the little star stamp on the stamp set so as to add a little bit of curiosity to the cardboard base earlier than including the tags together with somewhat bow.

That is 3 Christmas playing cards made and a beautiful present bag able to fill! (With the opposite half of the enormous bag leftover…..).
