I have been itching for a while now to just have a few hours where I can just play with ideas, new products and make some samples. There is so much inspiration on pinterest, facebook and the blogs I follow that I have a constant list of things to try out for myself.
So this past weekend I made some time to just play. This clutch bag was on the top of my list - what a gorgeous way to gift a small bottle of wine, perfume, body cream etc. I followed the instructions from Linda Parker HERE I can see me making alot more of these for teachers and friends for all sorts of occasions.
This bag showcases some of the gorgeous new paper and embellishments in the new Holiday Catalogue which you can order from as of Friday 1st September. This paper is called Year of Cheer Speciality Designer Series Paper. It has the most gorgeous foil colours and prints - silver, gold and champagne. These papers are slightly thicker than the usual papers and also plain on one side making them perfect for 3D projects like these. The foil snowflakes are beautiful - they come in both gold and silver. They are a light vanilla on the back so you can colour them if you desire.
I wanted to see what the bag would look like using the Foil Frenzy Designer series papers. so here is a creation in Tangerine Tango. I originally made the base in Tangerine too but thought it was a bit too much so I opted for the kraft instead which wasn't so overpowering. I think the gold snowflake matches perfectly!
What do you think? I am now keen to make them in all the foil colours - a girl can never have too many handbags right?!?!
